with the entire Clare water basin

S1KIVING TO WIN
■HONOR PENNANT
One of the great lessons taught in
'the Citizens' Military Training Camp
at Camp Custer is orderliness. Tent
inspection each morning results in the
award of an honor pennant to one tent
in ejich company for being tho neatest aiid most orderly for the day. This
awai'd is greatly sought for Donald H.
Jones of Clare, who is in charge of
a tent in which six students are quartered in Company H, and who is a student in the Red course, has had his
name published as one of the winners
of the coveted pennant.
Great progress has been shown by
the C, M. T, C. trainees in all branches
of the instruction given them. Their
friends and relatives who do not visit
them during the camp period are
going to be>most agreeable surprised
by the physical improvement gained
during the camp, for they will return
home straighter, sturdier, stronger,
and on an average five pounds heavier

possible, to get anything" under way
this fall from Mt. Pleasant to Clare
but at the Administrative Board meeting last Monday the Governor was
specific in his request that every possible effort be put forth to get the

early date. ,

Stough, Clare's fleet footed center-
fielder, not to be outdone, chased all
over the lot to grab balls out of the

There were several ' misplays by
both teams, but only one effected the
score to any great extent. This time
the Methners, with a one score lead,
got Cregue cornered between third
and home and instead of running him
down tossed the ball bapk and forth,
until someone dropped it allowing
Cregue to score. The whole team
being jammed along third base line,
had forgotten Eddie Hubel, and he
was able to trot home unmolested,
when they tossed the ball back into
the infield, all going to show that a
team must be Avide awake in order to
win ball games.
