SUNDAY'S REGIMENTAL MARCH PROVED HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL

The hike which the Regiment took on last Sunday proved to be one of the most successful marches of the year. Promptly at 10 o'clock the Regiment assembled in front of Smith Halls and marched to Harvard square, where it en-trained for Forest Hills, arriving there at 11.20 o'clock.

After reaching Forest Hills, the Regiment marched directly to the estate of Mr. E. D. Brandegee '81. Here the natural conditions were particularly adapted to manoeuvres, and the Regiment was divided into two battalions, the Browns and the Whites, for this purpose. Captain D. R. Hawkins 1L. was placed in charge of the Browns, and Captain M. H. Davis 1L. commanded the Whites, who were designated by the wearing of white hat bands.

The Whites took up their position on a knoll with good cover, protected by stone walls, trees, and a barbed-wire fence at the edge of an adjoining meadow. From across the meadow the Browns advanced, attempting to hurl the Whites from their position, but under a withering fire the former were annihilated, and the steady shooting of the Whites rendered their position impregnable. Part of the Browns' poor success was due to the lack of careful and efficient scouting, as well as ill-planned reconnoisance.

After the manoeuvres were completed, dinner was served to the entire Regiment on the terrace in front of Mr. Brandegee's home. A period of rest followed, and then a march was made back to the Forest Hills elevated station, where the Regiment en-trained for Cambridge, arriving there at about 6 o'clock.

Captain Schindel, U.S.A., accompanied the Regiment and was very favorably impressed with the skill shown by individual members. He complimented the Regiment on the marked progress which it had made, and spoke of the valuable contribution which such an organization makes toward American preparedness.
