Not only have the musical programs furnished entertainment, but during the summer months a baseball team was organized in the camp and games were scheduled each Sunday and oftentimes two games were played over the week-end. As many of the men did not find it convenient to travel home over the week-end, the baseball games were an Inviting answer to their problems of how to pass their spare time. -' Athletics Enjoyed. Boxing and wrestling were other sports that found ready response from the younger members of the camp. A standard boxing ring was erected In the camp and every night two danc ing, sunburned figures could be seen trading lusty wallops with each other. Matches were often arranged with other neighboring CCC camps and a number of the local enrollees Jour neyed to Medford for the American Legion amatur6 tournament, one of whom brought home the Ught-heavy-weight championship.
