Oregon state guard, won the sham battle from the 15th battalion in the first maneuvers staged between bat talions at Cloverdale east of Cres well Sunday. From all reports of the battle, the 16th battalion, al though superior in numbers show ed themselves better hill billies in the battle of the Cloverdale hills and succeeded in capturing a greater part of the 15th battalion before the battle ended with the 15th running up the white flag. The 16th, composed of members of companies A and B of Cottage Grove, and one each from Drain and Creswell, were aligned against two companies from the 15th from Marcola and Wendling consisting of about 600 men from the two battalions. The chief weapon used was a home-maue hand grenade consisting of flour tied up in a paper or cloth -,ack. Company members of the 16th battalion denied they used flour hardened with water. Instead they used flour tied in hardware sacks, while the ammunition of the opposing army was flour tied up in tissue paper sacks, which proved very fragile and ineffective in battle. A ruse used by the 16th bat talion in capturing the enemy which also worked very efficiently was first capturing the enemy scout and then the runner. The battle lasted well into the a fter noon. lunch was eaten by some of the men near the battlefield while others motored to the city park here. A fter lunch, all participants from both battalions paraded down Main street and later as sembled at the armory to hear a report on the sham battle. Co,. A. Waller. M ajor LaSells Stewart and M ajor H arry Powell served as judges of the maneuvers. M ajor LaSells Stewart in reviewing .the battle praised both battalions for their open field tactics and said the maneuvers provided valuable experience and information. The 16th battalion was under the com mand of Capt. Herbert W. Lom bard and the 15th under the com mand of Capt. A1 Deiz of Eugene.
