rie of Company C won flrBt place and
Sorgeant Kenneth Warner of Com
pany A second for the individual cup.
Six m'en, Bliss, Epperson, Edison, Al
line, Warner and Guthrie, drilled per
fectly for about five minutes without
anyone falling out. Gradually, how
over, -they began to make breaks and
only Alllno, Warner and Guthrie were
left. Both Captain Yates and Colonel
Kremer endeavored, by giving a rapid
fire of commands to spell one man
down, but all three drilled In perfect
tlmo and executed every move called
for until finally Alllno fell out on a
matter of form. Sergeants Guthrie
and Warner did not take loner to fin
ish the questions, Guthrie standing
the tost better than Warner. The

Review.
Following the Individual drill, at a
regimental review, Colonel Kremer
and Captain Yates presented to Cap
tain Charles Bennett of Company C
the "Omaha cup" which becomes the
property) of that company for ono
year. The entire company marched
put' of lino to receive it and thence
across the field to tho loft of the 'staff
to roview tho othor companies as thoy
marohed -past. It was the first time
for several years that Company. C haB
received military respects from the
other companlea and marked a tri
umph for Captain Bennett. This is- its
third victory in the history of com
petitive drill.
Bennett proved himself to be a wise
compandor. While some of tho othor
companies were wearing themselves
out In the hot sun that bent down up
on tho drill field Bennett's men woro
lounging In tho shado of some trees,
on the south side of the campus quiet
ly awaiting their turn. Incidentally
they received final orders from tho of
ficers and men were given an oppor
tunity to ask final qestlons. Bennett
put the spirit Into his men. Ho told
them that they could win if they Just
kept cool, and 'they did as he ordered.
All Lincoln Men.
After the com pet and Just before the
review Captain Bennett told his men
that he felt sure they had done tholr
best, thanked them for their loyalty to
him and told them that If they had not
won they Bhould by no means feel
badly. "If wo have won we will glory
In It, but If another company has suc
ceeded let us honor them,'.' he said
just before he marched them into the
battalion line.
Cups were presented to Sergeants
Uuthrle and Warner by Captain Yates
is trophies of their winning' the in
dividual honors. A brother of, Rich
