MOTORCYCLE CORPS MADE TRIP

Practice in Making Topographical Maps Purpose of 120-Mile Hike.

The motorcycle squad of the University Reserve Officers' Training Corps which left Cambridge on Saturday on a practice hike had a most successful trip of over 120 miles. The route chosen lay into New Hampshire beyond Hampden and almost to Dover. The detachment, consisting of six motorcycles accompanied by two automobiles, camped in the open Saturday night, and prepared its own meals.

On Sunday morning the men were divided into three groups, and several hours were spent in topographical sketching, including the making of road maps as well as place and position sketches. A portion of the time was devoted to signalling. Bad weather necessitated a return early Sunday afternoon.
