REGIMENT TO PARADE AT SATURDAY'S GAME

An informal parade of the R. O. T. C. will precede the football game with the Maine Heavy Artillery eleven on Saturday. The formal inspection under arms will begin at 1.30 o'clock and last approximately an hour. At the conclusion of the inspection, the battalions will form near the Freshman football field, behind the five, combined bands which will be brought from Westfield for the game. The corps will enter the north end of the Stadium and proceed in column of squads around the track, after which the regiment will go up into the stands and watch the game, as a body.

Special emphasis has been laid upon the fact that the appearance of the Corps will be very informal. All cadets in both the elementary and advanced courses, including those without uniforms, will take part. Officers will not wear side-arms. Moreover, the R. O. T. C. will march as three separate battalions and not as one regiment. The large band, however, containing the 126 musicians from the five smaller bodies will march as a formal unit.

When Secretary Baker visits the University a week from today, both the exercise in the trenches and the formal review will take place at Fresh Pond. The members of Military Science 2 will first take part in a maneuver in the trenches similar to those carried out by the R. O. T. C. last summer. After this, the regiment will form as a unit including the students enrolled in both courses and will be inspected by the Secretary of War.

Although the report has not been confirmed officially by the College Office, it is very probable that all students in the Training Corps will be excused from college appointments next Thursday because of Mr. Baker's visit.

The French officers have secured two Lewis automatic machine rifles with the necessary equipment for the two supply men, so that one squad of automatic riflemen can be completely, fitted out. Wooden attachments similar to those placed in the rifle muzzles to hold the V. B. rifle grenades have also been obtained. It will now be possible to equip a whole platoon in the formation taught by the officers of the French Mission. The grenades used at Barre last summer, and the ordinary rifles will complete the armament.

Under the command of Captains Canfield and Fuller, 40 volunteers went out to Fresh Pond yesterday afternoon and did some repairing to the trenches. Much work was impossible because the trenches were so flooded with water that the pumps lent by the Wentworth Institute were in most places inadequate. Today, a pump will be borrowed from the Cambridge Electric Company which will probably be able to complete the work before tonight
