MARCH TO RANGE TODAY

The second battalion of the University Reserve Officers' Training Corps will assemble at Hemenway Gymnasium this morning at 8 o'clock to prepare for the march to Wakefield where it will spend the week on the rifle range and in practising combat exercises against silhouetted targets. The men will provide their own blankets which must be brought to University Hall by 7.30 o'clock this morning, and which will be transported to the range in motor trucks. The march will be conducted as nearly as possible under war conditions and the battalion will be under the direction of Major Henry A. Frothingham, R.O.T.C.

The first battalion returned from Wakefield on Saturday after completing a successful week of instruction. The hike to Cambridge was of the character of a forced march and the 15 miles were covered in the record time of four hours, including the hourly rests of ten minutes each. The only man in the battalion to qualify as expert rifleman was O. A. Shaw '19, who made a score of 215. There were a few other scores over 200 which just missed the total required of an expert, the best of these being by L. Hagerman '20 and A. Quint, uC, with 208 apiece; G. W. Benedict '17 with 207; and J. G. Coolidge '20 with 206.

Seniors Go With Second Battalion.

Seniors who are members of the third battalion will be transferred temporarily to the second in order that they may fire on the range this week and be in Cambridge next week for Class Day and Commencement. They will report this morning to the companies to which they have been assigned but eventually will be sent back to their original companies.

This week will see the first serious work in bayonet combat. Not only will the dummies and rings which were installed on Soldiers Field last week be made use of, but actual fencing with the use of wands will be started.
