Battery A, after many delays, has finally left the border. Yesterday the men of this organization entrained at El Paso and without complications they should arrive in Boston in about a week. There are approximately 125 University graduates and undergraduates in the battery.
The most significant factor in the return of Battery A is the strengthening of the hockey team. Three H men are included in the battery, namely, G. A. Percy '18, G. H. Eckfeldt '17 and T. K. Fisher '17. Without the services of these men this year's hockey team would be seriously handicapped. Percy, who captained his Freshman team was one of the fastest men in the University forward line last year. Also it will be remembered that his hit won the first game of the baseball series with Yale last June, and therefore as a veteran in this sport he should be of no small value to the 1917 nine.
It has been generally believed that the Battery would remain at the border until spring.
