Company E Outpoints Company c
In the Second Competition
for the Steinweg Cup
CONTESTS WERE CLOSE
AND WON THROUGH SKILL
Military Regulations Decided the
Winners in Several Events
Where Time Had Been Slightly
With Their Opponents

Military men OF companies G and
Z of the National Guard of Wash
|ington and their friends had de-
lightful day Sunday at Sumach PARK
when the second annual military
tournament was pu.red off, the prin-
cipal interest being in the final count
on points for the possession of the
Steinweg cup which must be won
three successive years before going
out of competition. Company f W IN
by count of 80 to 20 but this fails
to indicate the close rivalry between
the competing companies. Judged
merely from the standpoint of time
In the various events the two con,-
panies are very evenly matched. The
events, however, We're decided both
on the basis of time and adherence
to certain regulations in each event.
This made it necessary for the judges
once or twice to rule out apparent
winners and in this way Company c
got perhaps the worst of it. In tie
cartridge race this was particularly
the case, the judges recognizing that
one ttechnicality not observed had
been rather a disadvantage than an
advantage to the contestant but feel
ing that regulations must be para
mount with military organizations
Much Good Fellowship
The contests indicated a splendid
degree Of good fellowship between
the two organizations and also chat
the company captains have assem- bled
a splend lot of actf'e and alert
young men in the service Of the
state. They put up and struck a
tent city in front of the stand in
about six minutes actual time, the
first tent being pitched in 235 Sec
onds. Taking them down though
not contest, was done, as well. Had
the tent pitching been judged AS a
company and not an individual con-
test the judges might have had a
different decision.
Considerable fun was injected into
the contest by reason of their char
acter, the equipment and squaw som
tests being particularly cnlivening.
