BOWLING:
Two strips of heavy canvas,-about 4 feet square,-are all that
stands between us and the opening of the bowling season * ”Andy”
and Chief-Operator Pierce have put the alleys into excellent
shape during the past two weeks,-and need only the above-mentioned
canvas for the floor-covering of- the pits* WlSve chased the Sal
vage Officer,the Fost Exchange Boss,and the Q#M* for a week with
out results,-and we're now laying for the dark-dyed Quartermaster
Corps villein whc,"Andy” cays,-pinched the paulin that the P«X*is
signed up for,-an d forgot to bring it back. If Andy can get hold
of that canvas-thervuws. Bowl. As we stop to consider, it seems to ms
that that ” Dark.** ay 3d” description i9 rather wrong, for Andy claims
that the dastardly Q*M*C*that committed the aforesaid felony wore
a Titian-hued thatch.So the Q.M.C.is going to be pretty thoroughly
combed,-auburn hair and all,-unless he brings back that P.X.paulin
NUF SED,
In order that the greatest number of men possible may enjoy the
alley game this winter,, the E*& R, Office,after consideration,has
decided to ask each company to form a Company League right in its
own outfit* The bowlers, and those who want to bowl, should be
grabbed,-and formed into 5 man teams-even three man teams-if a
large number of teams is wanted,-balanced so as to make competi
tion between the different squads a bit close,-and a schedule
of games prepared* The Athletic Officer will then co-ordinate the
schedules,and arrange- for the different times that the Alleys can
be used.. To get this scheme of Company Leagues to working,the
following Athletic Representatives are appointed in each company:
f,E” Co*: ,Sgt*Andrus!iewicz, Pvt .McCoy, Pvt* Clarke.
,fF” Co,: ***** Sgt .Schumacher, Sgt .Knorr, P/t* Chamberlain*
"Q.M*11 ana Medics *,,«. To be selected later*
These Athletic Representatives are requested to arrange a
Company Leagu* for Bowling in their respective outfits,after con
sultation with the Athletic Officer .The same representatives will
also handle all athletic activities,^basketball,indoor track,etc#
When the Company Leagues get under way, then the best performers on
the alleys will be selected for the respective Company teams,-and
the Post League formed*But in order that a line may be gott en on
the abilities of the different men,and that every man who wants to
bowl,may do so,-and not be cut out of the chance because he lacks
the stuff for the Company Team,-we want the Company Leagues to
start with.So make your Athletic Representatives get busy# We’ll
promise you that we’ll keep on their tail until they come through*

For the information of the ambitious hoopers we’ll say that
we hope to have the New Gym in shape for them to play about the
latter part of next week* Nemmine the Posts,-we’ll pad ’em*
THE BAND BEGINS:
Under the direction of Assistant-Leader Whipple the
Fort Seward Military Band commenced its practice this past week.
The work on the Rifle Range interferes somewhat,-but that diffi
culty will be removed in a few days now.The new men are practic
ing diligently on their instruments,-and we rise to state that
while we’ve gotten a good number in the organization,-there’s
Always room for one more.
