 Yesterday afternon the University of Arizona campus presented a scene quite in touch with the spirit of the day, as two companies of well drili- ed cadets marched and counter marched and executed the manual of arms with faultless precision in their annual exhibition of military maneuVers.
 Promptly at o'clock Companies A and B. headed by the field musi- cians, and escorting the National and University colors, marched upon the campus and after presenting battalion parade were reveiwed by Capt. Poweh. Capt. White. U. s A., and Cadet Lieutenant and Adjutant Tourette. Immediately following the review the bas1alion presented a sISenddd exhibition drill, which in the excellent manner in which it was executed, compared favorably with that done by the West Point cadets.
 Following this came the event of the afternoon-the competitive drill for the NJ. P. Freeman medal, which was judged by Capt White of the Sixth cavalry, II. s. A. The entire battalion took part in the contest, but cadet after cadet was thrown out for some mistake which he made. un- til the number of contestants dwin- died down raIidly. Finally there were but, two cadets left in the con test. These two put up a faultless drill until slight but unavoidable mistake was made by Cadet Private Bird, giving the medal to Cadet Cor poral Hams. Both Cadets liam and Bird are to be complimented on the excellence of their drilling. In fact the entire battalion, and especially Captain Powell. deserve highest praise for excellent character. of the military work as was displayed yes terday.
 A large and enthusiastic audience witnessed the maneuvers and were outspoken in their praise of the work.
