SOLDIERS SHOW
PROFICIENCY IN
WATER CONTEST
NAVAL BATTLE" ATTRACTS GREAT
EST ATTENTION FROM CROWD
WITNESSING EVENTS.
FIRST ENGINEERS AND SECOND
SQUADRON THIRD CAVALRY LEAD
IN POINTS IN THE CONTEST.

Crossing rivers and swollen streams as
phase of modern warfare il among the
accomplishments in which United States
soldiers are by no means seriously defi-
cient if the demonstrations at the first
Water Field Day held at the lake in Fort
Brown today may form a basis for judg-
ment.
Swimming, bareback horse riding and
boat combat events were among the fea-
lures on program that attracted a large
and enthusiastic crowd of army people
and civilians. Ii was the first water
field day held at this post since the pres
ent mobilization. The water field com
prised the inland lake or resaca of the
officers quarters. The contest began at
Q O'Clock and lasted until noon. Tie fact
that the lake Is of variable width and the
width was unmeasured made the time
factor in all race events unimp ,r;ant.
Probably among the most interesting,
or at least the one that proved mcst en-
tcrtainlng to civilians was naval bat
tie" in which opposing crews attempted,
by means Of padded spears, to rapsize
and sink the boats of ther opponents.
This contest was won by the scaohi
squadron of the Third cavalry anu the
First Engineers regiment, f,-ilm; the
Red fleet. They sank the boats OF tnc.r
opponents in five minutes and twenty
eight seconds. The losers were Battery
ID. Fourth Field Artillery and the Fourth
Infantry.
The Second Virginia infantry band
played during the events. The final sum
ming up of the scores gave TO the First
Engineers regiment first place with to-
tai of 80 points. the Second Squadron Of
the Third cavalry second place with TWEEN
ty-two points and the Thirty-s sixth infan-
try third place with thirteen points, The
participating organizations were repre-
sented by picked teams. The winners IN
the various events follow:
