center Of the stage here now in the
athletic life of the camp. Both inter-
regimental and company contests are
being staged In the various sections.
The dozen or more athletic fields have
been worked overtime during the past
week in accommodating the regimental
end company games played in the great
fall game. while the mitt artists of the
camp have had many opportunities to
demonstrate their ability.
No two regiments in the camp are
matched with keener interest or great
er enthusiasm than are the 315th and
the s16th Infantry, adjoining neigh
bOrs in the r, S and T blocks. The
past week has found them matched both
in an inter regimental boxing carni-
val, which was held on the r platform,
and in the regimental foot ball contest.
held Sunday afternoon at the post ONCE
field. Both of the tits were witnessed
by great numbers. the men and offfcers
OF both regiments cheering their ia
voriteS on to victory.
The individual work of the athletic
officers of these regiments is largely
responsible for the athletic life in this
section. Lieut. Evans of the 316th il
an old playground director of note and
he ig to be congratulated for the way
tu which he has systematized his work
and for the way in which he has
whipped his regiment into winning
aggregation. Lieut. Graham of the
S16th 10 also a live wire in his regi-
tnent. Before becoming Lieut.. Graham
he was an athlete of note and served
as the assistant basket ball coach at
the University of Pennsylvania. The
help and cooperation of Col Rosen-
baum, Col. Charles and the company
athletic officers have all aided in estab-
fishing this spirit.
Engineers Have Spirited Contest.
The 2sd and the so4th Engineers
have also become great rivals in their
games and contests. Last Sunday
Lieut.. Hvass. escorted by his band, foot
ball team and great number of root
Srs, marched to the battle grounds of
the 304th Engineers, located in the
u block.
the 3O4th, had his team in good shape.
and while the 23d crowd came down
with the expectation of capturing the
scalp OF their opponents easily, the final
score of the game showed zero for
each team. Accordingly. another game
was scheduled for the following Sun
day, and this resulted in 80 victory
for the 2Sd.
Inter-Regimental Boxing Carnival.
The last open-air boxing carnival Of
the season held at the r block ring
was undoubtedly the most successful
Of the season. consisting of interregi-
mental bouts between representatives
ot the 315th and the 316th Infantry.
Three boxers of each regiment were
matched against each other in accord
Ance with the A. A. U. rules, each bout
consisting of three. rounds of three
minutes duration. Lieut. Orr of the
S16th, in charge of boxing, selected three
men to represent his regiment, while
Lieut. Graham looked after the mittmen
of the 315th
Preliminary to the matches, the 315th
Band gave several selections. and by
pm, the time set for the first gong,
close on to two thousand eager specta-
tors were crowding around the plat
form on all sides in an effort to see.
A section was reserved for the officers
attending.
Inasmuch as more boxers reported
from the 315th than from the 316th, It
was found necessary to match two mitt-
men of the 315th in the preliminary
bout, and accordingly Stein and Kantro,
both of the same regiment, mixed it up
for three rounds. Stein has made a
boxing reputation for himself because

Kantro is a professional from the

terixed by some hard hitting on the part
Of both, neither having any great adj
vantage. The second bout was between

doubt this was the classic of the car

Hinkle is a finished boxer, a profess

an opponent, clean, fast and ''heady."
The foot work and punches of each were
clever, Hinkle never taking advantage
of his superior knowledge of the ring
tactics. but making the contest one
worth while to the onlookers.
The next event found two middle
weights linked up in the persons of
Kilgus, representing Company K of the
316th, and Jack Farr of Company A.
31Sth. Neither man was in very good
shape, but the cheers of the crowds
urged them forward in their best efforts
and they responded nobly.
The boxers scheduled for the fourth
bout failed to appear. SO comedy bout
was staged by Wolgast and Dundee.

the spectators. Following this bout
