Winning Rifle Team
i Company D's rifie team was com-
posed of Lieut. Frazier. Sgt. Ward,
and Cpls. Blalock. Welch and Hook-
er. All but Hooker placed in the
order named on the regimental
team. After Sgt. Ward left for
Camp Perry, Ohio, to compete in
the national matches, Herbert Ho-
well was guidon bearer for Com-
I P*n>' D on parades.
The Divisional rifle match was
1 held Monday morning. Frazier and
| Ward placed. A regimental parade
was held in the afternoon.
Monday night the 71st Brigade
softball championship game was
played between Co. D, 142, and
Co. D. 141st Inf. In the tenth in-
ning of a scheduled seventh in-
ning game, the Stephenville team
lost 8-7. The locals were trailing
I 5-2 in the early innings, but over-
. came the opponent’s lead and tied
5-5. then nosed ahead 6-5. At the
end of the seventh inning the score
I was tied 7-7 aad remained thus un-
til the tenth when the San An-
tonio team of the 141st Infantry
Regiment scored again to beat
Stephenville 8-7. Cromwell and
Marsh again constituted the bat-
tery for the locals. Lieut. Hickey
was drafted to play second base
and turned in a good game. Really.
Tuesday morning part of the di-
vision went on a maneuver several
miles north of camp. Trucks car-
ried them out to the scene of “bat-
tle” and brought them back to camp
at noon. Tuesday afternoon the
company stood retreat in the com
pany street.
Make Two-Day Maaeaver
Wednesday morning an early
start was made on the divisional
maneuver, in which the entire di-
vision took part. Tracks earned
the troop* to the camping site se-
lected, pup tents were pitched, just
before a heavy shower, several
miles from camp. Remainder of the
day was spent idly. Cooks came
to the site and remained for torso
meals. The maneuver began at 7

Still more Rain
The machine gun (trill was rained
out Friday morning. Fight finals
were held the night before at the
flood-lit arena of the 141st In-
fantry. A divisional parade, the
third, was held Friday afternoon
in honor of Governor James V.
Allred, who was in the reviewing
line. Airplanes, bands, tanks, heavy-
artillery guns, machine guns, rifles,
ambulances army trucks, flags and
banners all combined to present a
colorful spectacle.
Friday night tents were taken
down and all equipment packed,
ready for loading on trucks to be
carried to the special troop trains
waiting at the outsikrts of the
camp. The soldiers slept the best
way they could that night, since
all equipment was packed.
Late Note: Friday morning, be-
fore the companies formed for
veille. the band of the 142nd regi-
ment played “Home, Sweet Home,
following the annual custom, and
the tune was met by prolonged and
lusty shouts from the camp-weary,
rain-soaked troops. More shouts
went up when they saw the train
