Although the reeimental athletic asso-
citation of the Fourth Regiment has
not vet materialized. the time OF ITS
birth is nearer than any time since the
projecttsNas talked Of. Those who nave
watched the efforts to organize the as
ISOLATION will remember how disSat.5-
faction arose over the fixing of the rep
resentation for companies, but this mat
ter is now in a fair way to be settled
without further difficulty. When the
delegates of the various companies met
and a plan of representation was about
to be fixed, two companies rightly heid
that the representation should be ac-
cordine to the number of members each
company enrolled in the association AS
the two companies were the only ones
prepared to report the number OF mem-
bers. the other companies objected 10
the fixing of representation on any such
basis at that time, and as a result the
scheme was dropped.
Company A, however. resolved to for
mulate a new and more equitable plan OF
organization. The proposed
that each company organize a separate
athletic association with the understands
ing that when such association were Iul-
" organized, a joint meeting be held
and a regimenta1 association formed. In
this manner the companies would be en-
aoAed to ascertain just how many OF
their member would enter actively in
athletic sports, and the representation in
the regimental association could be nxea
accordingly. The athletes of Lincoln
Guard at once set to work. and a month
ago its athletic association was or
ganized. A constitution and bylaws
were adopted and temporary oftlcers
were elected. Last night the associa-
ton held another meeting, n as pro-
vided for in the constitution and bylaws
elected permanent officers. The meeting
was we'll attended, and temporary
Chairman Corporal Ignatius Judge re-
ported that twenty-six members a
signed the roll. Several new members
were added at the meeting. The elec-
ton for officers was spirited and numer-
Gus candidates were nominated for Fres-
ident. Corporal Ignatius Judge was nom
mated in spite of his declarations that
he would not consent to become a can
didate, and when the vote was an
nounced and he discovered that he re-
cast. he gracefully reconsidered his in,
%tention not to take office and accepted
the honor accorded him Tt G 5Ips;Gant A. and
