properly qualified Reserve officers for
detail to the special course at the COM
Leavenworth for National Guard and
Reserve officers. The course is three
months in duration. usually beginning
about March Is. In the past the Dis

physical condition and before any loca
Reserve officer is ordered to the scfoo
he will be required to undergo g
thorough physical examination. Fol

course, Reserve officers of Washington

a hundred teams of all classes, made
such a remarkable showing that the
entry of the Reserve officers team an
