They also had local matches with the Salt Lake City police, Salt Lake rifle club, and a team from Fort Douglas. SUNRISE BATTALION The Sunrise Battalion was started four years ago with a few members as a side activity of the R. O. T. C. Since its organization it has increased in popularity and membership until this year there were more applications for membership than could be handled. This Battery met every Saturday at 10:00 a. m. during the autumn and spring quarters for mounted gun drill and general riding practice. This year so many students wished to join in these Saturday morning drills that with the limited supply of horses on hand they could not all be accommodated. As a result two subdivisions or branches were formed. These classes met every Tuesday and Friday during the fall and spring quarters at 8:00 a. m. Members of the Sunrise Battery composed the volunteer parade squad which represented the R. O. T. C. unit of the University of Utah in all holiday and celebration parades. |
