 ENJOYABLE R|DE 164th Depot Brigade are being shifted to the California training camp but as | yet no intimation ha- come as to just where the 340th will train for the win ter. Quite naturally the members of the regiment want to 50 to California, l for it is nearer home. will keep the Arizona men all together and what is most important will take them out of climate that does not agree with men raised and bred in the sunniest state ill the union
 The football fever has so far resulted in d number of very good and interest ing, games. These games are by no means imitation ones and are as good as any to be seen among small col leges and high schools. for it must be remembered that among the drafted men are men from all walks of life even men who have been football stars and not many years ago at that There are many excellent football men in the 940th and they have been getting into the game with a vim and spirit un- equaled. The result of games of the l past two weeks between batteries and companies of the 340th r. A, N. A. is | as follows:
 October 20
 | B Battery .O Headquarters Company ........ 3 October 21
 l n PatfarV O | C Battery. ...... [ .(The winning touchdown in this game was made by George Peters, who formerly played with the Phoenix high school)
 F Battery. k Battery ..-..-.......
 October 27
 Headquarters Company y............. 10 l A Battery. -..................- C Battery. 21 F Battery. 0
 October 28
 E Battery 26 , It will be noted fro mthe above that Batteries c and Headquarters Company are the only ones that have not been scored upon. They will come together in a battle royal next Sunday in a game that will decide the championship of the regiment. Great interest is man. | ifested in this particular game among the soldier boys and big crowd will be out to see the fun.
 Thursday, October 21, was field day in camp, the entire division taking a holiday and enjoying a program of athletic events. In the three-mIie regimental team race, Leonard C. Claiborne of Phoenix. formerly 2-miler for the University of New Mexico finished first in IS minutes and seconds, fairly fast time, considering the conditions under which he ran the race and lack of necessary train ing. Arizona lost the tug of war to Colorado after having it practically ! won.
 Dr. Nichols of Phoenix and examin- ing physician for the Maricopa county exemption board, spent a day in camp last week visiting the boys. 1 The following Phoenix men have been made non commissioned officers in addition to those previously re- ported: John r. Stall, corporal; Will lis $. Montgomery, corporal and bat .l tery clerk; H. L. Allen, corporal. ! The big frame of Ed Luke of Phoenix looms large on the regi- mental football field these days. Ed is playing fullback with Battery C.
 Marian, Kennedy Lut5erding, Tay- Tor (BilD, Hammels, Stcrmer, Rob bins, Haldiman and Peters are other Phoenix men who are ma 'lng | ns me for themselves in camp football gossip.
 Phoenix friends of Burt Clingan would not know him now. Since Clingan has been playing tackle with D battery he lost all the stomach he acquired in the Capital city. Burt says army life does not agree with his 1 physical well being, but the fellows who play opposite him in the line say that he hits her pretty d. hard
 The regiment is now getting practice handling guns made of wood, each bat tery having four such pieces assigned to it's use. It is thought that by the time they get their own ordnance the men will be sufficiently well versed in their handling of field pieces to get along with a minimum of instruction.
 The men from Arizona had just a taste Of what is in store for them the other day when a few flakes of snow swirled around the regimental barracks
