Portable Boxing Ring Installed at Air Field
A 20-foot portable boxing ring with a 16-foot fighting area was set up beside the obstacle course at the Advanced Flying school. It will host open-air bouts and support endurance testing through a new quarter-mile track. Lt J. Caimnes notes plans for a field day to form a track team for inter-base competition. Joe Batiste, 1939 world high hurdles champion, stationed here, trains with his team. A mandatory physical training profile testing pull-ups, sit-ups, and a 300-yard shuttle run will be implemented. Enhanced athletics interest is driving summer contingents as the base grows into competitive sport.
