Hilarity Decreases as Novelty
Wears Off; Calisthenics Test
Men’s Condition.
Soccer and Baseball Will Re
lieve Monotony ; Track Meets
to Add Interest.
(By JIMMIE SHEEIIY)
With practically every resource of the
University harnessed, Oregon is rapidly
taking on a dignified air of military pre
paredness.
Wednesday saw Oregon’s fighting
forces in the third day of compulsory
military drill. Daily at 4:15 p. rn. the
bugle assembles over .'{50 students in six
companies to await roll call and maneu
vers. The narrow confines of Kincaid
field were forsaken on Tuesday night for :
the spacious baseball field and neighbor- j
ing meadows, which afford amide drill
space for all companies. This will be the
future drill ground.
Gradually the novelty and freshness of
the drill is wearing off. The student!
body, with each new assemblage, is dis- |
carding some of the hilarity and light- ;
heartedness of the first few evenings.
Oregon men view it as an opportunity— !
a golden chance to gain the necessary j
fundamentals of squad formations and
drill maneuvers.
There is a strenuosity in the entire
daily program that augurs well for the
future physical condition of the men.
Under the direction of Coach Hugo Bez
dek, an extensive system of Swedish
gymnastics will be executed by the entire
forces, at the completion of each night’s
drill.
Tuesday night Coach Keswick executed
I the gymnastic commands in person be
fore each company. Any hopes that
compulsory drill and gymnastics meant
an hour of light outdoor exercise were
soon dispelled once Bezdek got the com
panies under way. With double quick
time the rule, every hand and leg exer
cise of possible muscle hardening quali
ties was indulged in. Even the football,
baseball and track athletes puffed and
complained of sore backs and stiff mus
cles the following morning.
Wednesday afternoon. Edgar Shockley,
gymnasium instructor, sent the entire six
companies through an exhaustive set of
gymnastics and calisthenics, that taxed
the endurance and lasting powers of the
huskiest soldiers. Even the faculty com
pany was put through the paces. Few,
however, stood up under the full count
of each exercise. Some 50 co-eds, smil
ingly watched the sterner sex from tip'
bleachers, and seemed to enjoy immensely
their antics and gyrations as they put
forth their last ounce of energy to finish
the movement.
To relieve the monotony of the daily
drill Coach Bezdek plans to hold soccer
games, track meets and baseball games
among the various companies within two
weeks or more. As soon ns the‘-funda
mentals of company and squad forma
tions are mastered the regular drill and
gymnastic routine will be considerably
altered. Bezdek’s hope and desire is that
“very man will be in first class physical
ihape within the remaining six weeks of
school.
Some changes in the offieerships of
he various companies will no doubt take
dace within the next few days. Every
nan with previous military experience
was required to hand in his name and the
imount of training he has hnd to Coach
flezdek. In this manner the men of ex
perience and training will step into the
commissions, some of which are now held
>y less capable men.
In order that juniors and seniors, try
ng out for the Officers’ Reserve corps,
nay get some practical experience in
Handling men. it will be compulsory for
them to handle companies at 'the end of
three weeks’ drill practice. In this way
the 'men will have some training in giving
commands before they enter the federal
■amps this summer, to prepare for com
missions in the various branches of mili
ary service.
