FRESH POND DRILL HELD

EXTRA DRILL ARRANGED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The members of Military Science 2 were marched to Fresh Pond yesterday afternoon where they received instruction from Lieutenant Morize on the formation and movements of a company formed according to the new United States army regulations. The men were divided into four platoons comprising one full company of 250 men. Captain C. Canfield '19, was in command of the company and each platoon was also put under a captain. F. Parkman '19, L. A. Wheeler '18, P. Cabot '18, and W. R. Odell, Jr., '19, were chosen for this purpose, the other captains and lieutenants observing and criticising the manoeuver. Each platoon was composed of 58 men who were divided into four sections.

Extra Drill Today.

This is the first information concerning these new War Department regulations that the R. O. T. C. has been able to obtain and it is the intention of the authorities to give an exhibition drill in these formations before Secretary Baker next Thursday morning. In order that this drill may be executed in as correct a fashion as possible two extra drills for Military Science 2 will be held before that date. The first one of these will come this afternoon when the men will assemble in front of Harvard Hall at 3.40 o'clock. The second will be held next Tuesday afternoon and will take the place of that on Thursday.

Commencing next week the number of lectures for both courses will be diminished to one and the number of drills correspondingly increased. Companies I through M will drill Friday afternoon from 4.30 to 5.30 o'clock and companies A through H on Saturday mornings from 7.30 to 8.30 o'clock.
