The inspect-i n g o f f i c e r s , two majors and a captain, a r r i v e d Thursday night in preparation f o r a full two-day program. T h e f i r s t day's schedule was s t a r t e d w i t h battalion parade at 8 o'clock, to be followed by in-f a n t r y drill, but the rain, which a l w a y s comes at times of gov-ernment inspection, put an end t o all f i e l d work f o r the morn-ing. The method of theoretical instruction in the different branches of the R. O. T. C. was demonstrated to the inspectors by the various sections until 1 p. m. In the a f t e r n o o n the cav-a l r y and a r t i l l e r y went through t h e regular troop and battery drill f o r the inspectors' b e n e f i t. A l t h o u g h the wetness of the ground prevented the more spectacular work at a gallop and charge, a t h o r o u g h workout was given at the slower gaits, both as to drill and equitation. W h i l e this was taking place at W h i t e ' s farm, the engineer unit went through topography and construction w o r k w h i l e the i n f a n t r y gave exhibitions of machine gun, automatic rifle, and bayonet drills on the hill. T h e p r o g r am for Saturday was a l a r g e a f f a i r f o r t h e entire battalion in the shape of garri-son r e v i ew and tent pitching on W h i t e ' s farm.

The r e v i ew b e f o r e the inspecting of-f i c e r consisted of the regular quick time march followed by the mounted units later at the t r o t and gallop. Next a camp was pitched by each of the sep-a r a t e units and all equipment inspected. A f t e r the break of camp and inspection of the packed equipment the morn-i n g ' s work was completed with a demonstration attack by an i n f a n t r y war strength platoon f o l l o w e d by a reconnaisance p r o b l em of the a r t i l l e r y , battery and a tactical estimate by the c a v a l r y troop. Supervised athletics by the rats and a polo game by the mounted units brought th§ in-spection to a close, although the inspecting officers remained on the post until Monday. HOPKINS TRACK MEN VARSITY POLO WIN MEET 58-54! SQUAD PICKED Close Contest Inaugurates New Cinder Path; Marylanders Take All Races, While All Field Events Are Copped By Cadets. The Johns Hopkins Univer-s i t y track team d e f e a t e d the V. M. I . track team 58 t o 54 in the cadets' f i r s t meet on the new cinder track of Alumni Field last Thursday. The race for v i c t o r y was nip and tuck until the final event which gave the v i s i t o r s their four point decis-ion. All of the running events were won by Hopkins men w h i l e the cadets were particu-l a r l y strong in the f i e l d events, winning e v e r y one in this line. Costolo, star sprinter f o r V. M. I., was t r u l y rout of f o r m , due to his playing a hard polo match the day before, while the whole t e am was materially weakened by the strenuous preparation f o r Government Inspection. On the t w o preceding days Clark of Johns Hopkins started the visi-tors' scoring when he won the century dash, $nd likewise add-ed f i v e more p<#its by winning the 220 yards.

This play ought to add much to the fame of the Dramatic Club, both here and in the out-side world. A performance will be given in the Jackson Memor-ial Hall on May 3. A semi-an-nual performance will be given in Staunton on May 6. A great deal of new talent will be seen for the first time in this play. Players Are Separated Into Varsity and Scrub Squads. Monday night the varsity polo squad was picked, the squad consisting of nine players, ir-respective of class or unit. These nine men have not been assigned positions, nor have they been rated as yet. Their showing during the next two weeks will largely determine the r a t i n g they will get. The squad consists of Barrow, H., Daube, Harrison, W., Marshall, Penniman, Ridgely, Robertson, W., Venable, R., and Philp. The last named player was placed on the v a r s i t y squad temporarily; he has not been able to take part in any practice or scrim-mages f o r the past two weeks, due to an injured knee. T w o scrub squads were also picked, each squad consisting of f i v e players. One of these squads is composed of cavalry-men, the other of artillerymen. These squads will engage in f r e q u e n t scrimmages with the v a r s i t y , and these scrimmages will prove t h e basis of the selec-t i on of the v a r s i t y team to rep-resent V. M. I.
