THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL Pacific Northwest Tournament.—The polo team of the 2nd Battalion, 76th Field Artillery, stationed at the Presidio of Monterey, California, won the Pacific Northwest Polo Tournament. The Team, under the sponsorship of Major John R. Starkey, who commands the Battalion, traveled up to Vancouver Barracks, Washington, on June 22nd and returned on July 6th after winning four hard fought games. One June 26th the strong Portland Hunt Club Team was conquered by the close score of 9 to 7; on June 28th the Finley All Stars were overwhelmed by the score of 19 to 6; on July 2nd in an extra chukker game the strong 7th Infantry Team was defeated 6 to 5 and in the last and deciding game the Boise Polo Club of Boise, Idaho fell before the unerring assaults of the 76th F. A. by the score of 9 to 8. The line-up of the 2nd Bn. 76th F. A. was as follows: No. 1, Lieut. A. R. S. Barden, Team Captain. No. 2, Capt. C. E. Boyle. No. 3, Capt. G. L. Caldwell. No. 4, Lieut. B. R. King. Sub, Lieut. L. H. Slocum. Field Artillery Board Notes Equipment Tables.—Since the last Board notes were published, two equipment test marches of ten days each have been made; one with a 75mm. gun battery, horse-drawn, and one with a 155-mm. howitzer battery, tractor-drawn. After the new equipment tables had been worked out, in order to determine how and where the equipment therein listed was to be carried, the above-mentioned batteries were fully equipped at war strength and given a ten-day field test in which many of the normal tactical situations were worked out. One big feature brought out by the 75-mm. march was the necessity for overloading practically all vehicles in order that the authorized equipment might be carried. The weather was such that the men needed both overcoats and slickers. This will frequently occur in campaign. The gas and camouflage equipment is bulky and heavy. For instance, whereas 4800 pounds has been and still is considered to be the maximum load which should be put back of a caisson team, the caisson fully loaded weighed over 6000 pounds without the men on it. The light wagon is badly overloaded. An illustration of the ration cart at a creek crossing is shown. This illustration and that of the Fordson tractors show the type of roads covered during the equipment test. Cross-country marching over varied terrain, including sand and marsh, also comprised part of this test. 550
