Illinois needs such a day. The
state is far behind its quota. II is

TRAINING MEMORANDUM
ON ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

shoot to hit The whole object of train
ing being to develop the individual to
overcome his antagonist physically when
matched in a hand-to-h hand engagement.
Object of the Field Physical Training OF
the Soldier:
/. That the efficiency of military
establishment is in a direct ratio to the
physical fitness of it's individual units has
never before been demonstrated so fore
IDLY as it has been during the present
war.
The demands made upon those engaged
in this conflict are SO far in excess of
what was thought to be the limit Of hu-
man endurance, judged by before-the-
war standard, that it is almost impossible
to conjecture even what that limit really
g. While modern warfare has not hesi-
tated to impress almost every known
science into its service for the purpose of
overcoming man, the trained man has up
to the present time demonstrated his
ability to hold his own against the most
terrible odds successfully; and in the end
it will be discovered that it is the man,
the carefully trained and conditioned
man, who alone can make victory pos
sible.
3. With these facts before us, it fol-
lows logically that the physical training
development and conditioning of those re
cruited for the military service must be
the first and most important concern of a
nation at war.
4 The object, therefore, that a course
AL
to attain is the development of every in
dividuafs physical attributes to the full
est extent of their possibilities, so that
he may enter his ability to discharge
them successfully under any and all cir
cumstanceS.
S. The possession of robust health and
organic vigor is not, however, sufficient
for the field soldier; his profession re-
quires that he also possess more than the
average amount of muscular and nervous
strength, endurance and fortitude against
which he may draw in times of stress.
g.. Smartness, activity, alertness and
precision are all physical expressions of
mental activity, and as such are the
powers that guide and control the phys
ical forces to the best advantage. They
also make for personal pride and self
respect and discipline, the voluntary, in
telligent, co-ordinated and equal subord-
ination of every individual unit through
which alone the objects of the mass can
be achieved

The following memorandum is for
the information of all athletic officers.
It is brief summary of the original
plan which should now be in operation.
2. Commanding officers, through their
athletic officers. are responsible for the
athletic program in their organizations.
All Z. M. @. a, physical directors will
give hearty cooperation in the units to
which they are assigned
8. Formal games will take place on
such afternoons as are not given over to
schedule training, and will be voluntary.
Every effort should be made to interest
sal participation should be developed.
AS many teams as possible should be
formed in each company and schedules
arranged to work out regimental cham
pionShips in all sports.
4. Informal games are part of the
regular schedule and Will take place
daily Not more than thirty minutes will
be devoted to these games. They should
be supervised by an officer and it is es-
sential that every man participate. They
are part of the physical training laid down
IN Field Physical Training (pages SOL
3I3). Athletic officers of regiments and
equivalent units will consult with COM
pany commanders to see that this plan is
being carried out. A list of the games
lOuIu iHoSi SuCCGSSl vi can DE ODIalneQ
from the Division Athletic Director.
81 In case any difficulty arises or any
suggestions are desired for the carrying
out Of this program, athletic officers will
communicate with the Divisional Athletic
Director
s. separate memorandum on boxing
and wrestling will be published in the
near future.
Z. Athletic officers will make every at
tempt to introduce organized athletics in
the physical training periods all0tt eda The
Division Commander looks with disfayor
upon any form of athletics which has for
it's object the DEVELOPMENT of a trained
few for the amusement of the many, am
less such training be merely an amuse-
ment feature separate and distinct from
physical training.
With this in mind physical training
schemes should include all the members
of organizations. Boxing. wrestling
track work. and the playing of rnassed
games should be encouraged. The plan to
teach the Individual the basic principles
Of boxing and wrestling, is not with the
idea of developing the trained prize fight
er, but to teach such as an essential in
the same manner as assoldier is trained to
