During the practice of the extended
order this year the cadets will wear
. different uniform from the one used
in close order drill. In the years gone
by the same uniform has been used
for both kinds of drill. The regular
uniform is well suited for drilling in
close order but for extended order
where the men are half the time on
the ground or are kneeling, the regu-
lar uniform is scarcely suitable. Con-
sequently new uniform has been
ordered. This uniform will be used
only in practice, and the regular uni
form will be worn on the competitive
drill field. The new uniform consists
of khaki breeches with wrapped
legsins. blue shirt and black tie and
the regular cadet cap. The cadets can
now flop" as hard as they wish
without hearing an ominous rip or
without fearing to- have their suits
become grass or mud stained
