THERE was one officer who by his consum-
nations had qualified admirably to bring
to pass something quite out of the ordinary in
the layout Of that proposed sports center. True
to tell Maj. r. D. Newman was a cavalry officer
of long experience, but when it came to a
matter of laying out golf courses, tennis courts;
flying and polo fields and handspring grounds
he abandoned his saddle in favor of seat in
an a1rplane. Maj Newman Is the originator

He had followed the elusive white spheroid from

fascinated by it. Briefly Maj. Newman knew
his golf from all angles better than any other
officer then stationed at F 'rt Riley. To him was

One of the postwar edictS of the military

there and elsewhere, logically became the hub

Uncle Sam discouraged the idea of regular
gym" classes for officers stationed in the
Capital City. Reason one: There was no avail
able gymnasium for such official workouts
Reason two: The authorities believed that the
most beneficial results would obtain if the Off
GERS were allowed to select the particular out
door games and sports in which they would
prefer to participate.
THUS it came to pass that at least one after
noon each week was designated as exercise
period for this or that officer He could walk,
ride, golf, swim, box wrestle or do whatever
he liked best-just so it was exercise that would
keep him in good physical condition.
Many of the officers selected tennis. golf.

sports. Some few who could afford it Joined
