Not all of the athletic prowess in this university is centered in the varsity team athletes.
In the R.O.T.C. department there are six enlisted men who have athletic records of no mean
caliber. These men have played on military post teams and a few of them have even invaded
the professional fields, and at the present time they are stationed at the University of
Chicago.
