The athletic program, PRACTICAL!
the most elaborate program to b.
carried out contemplates, first O.
all, course in training for prepare
ton in the standard efficiency tests
which has been standardized by the
A. A. u, and is to be given at al
camps this summer. 1t is expected
that the athletic director of the
University of Nevada will be II
charge of this program. Aside from
this test, there will be organized
baseball teams, basket ball, valley
ball, tennis and ct the completion OF
camp a swimming meet, which will
undoubtedly be held in the natator-
ium of the University of Utah. A
new ,nine-hole golf course has just
been completed at Fort Douglas, and
will be available for play by the
students. Beautiful trophies will
be awarded for the winners and ex-
cellence in the different branches of
athletics. The government is de-
sirous of having men bring athletic
equipment or uniforms that they
may have.
1t is especially desired that parents
understand that there Is no inten-
ton OF turning the young men loose
at night The course, contemplates
sufficient work during the day that
there will be no desire upon the part
of candidates to leave the post for
the city bright lights during the
evening. The post morale officer or
recreation officer will see to 1t that
preponderance of entertainment will
be provided on the post. Vaudeville,
pictures, wrestling and box
ing matches, lectures by the surgeon,
etc, will be provided every evening
of the camp. Candidates will be
allowed to go to the city on Satur-
days and Sundays, but must be back
in camp by HOO p. m. Sufficient
time will be given to visit the natu-
raj, scenic and civic attractions OF
Salt Lake City, and the attendance
at camp will enable Idaho men to
make such pilgrimages in and about
the city as they may desire.
All expenses are paid BY the gov
eminent, including transportation to
and, from camp. No expense, other
than pocket money will be under
taken by candidate. But very little
will be given to spend
money during the camp. Not more
than ten dollars will be sufficient for
the period of camp, for spending
money.
The food will be OF the finest, and
we'll cooked under supervision OF
the best of army cooks, and there
will be a preponderance OF it. An
unusual ration allowance has been
set aside.
Inasmuch as the government has
gone to the expense of maintaining
.hese camps, it is a highly patriotic
luty on the part of the young men
If the nation to avail themselves
If the camp. The age limit Is from
II to 25, and will permit the bright
,st and most energetic type Of man
% attend. Excellent instructors,
men of the finest army in the world,
loted for setting the highest stand
lrds of service to home and country
will be retained at the camps for
to candidates and for in
tructing them in the duties of SOL
her and citizen. The 38th infantry,
The Rock of the Marine" will be
