COLLEGEVILLE.

The past week we were pleased to entertain the following visitors: Lawrence Schall, Paynq, Ohio; A A. Schneider, James Vos’s, Hammond and Leo Smith, Huntingdon. At the Athletic Association meeting Sunday morning Clifford Reed, Walter Reinick, Charles McArdle, Harold Moran, Leo Birkmteier and James Whitcomb were chosen board of directors fqr the present term. Edward Shields was appointed director of the Rooters’ club. Monticello 34; St. Joseph’s 17. On. Friday last the varsity traveled to Monticello to reap its second defeat of the season. The Monticello high school boys were in fine shape as also were the collegians. Both teams being determined to win brought out a very fast game. That the home team has a great advantage in 'being accustomed to the hall told greatly in favor of the high school boys. It was especially the rather low celling that hampered the high pass work of the visitors. The college boys were the first to score and maintained their lead all through the first half which ended 12 to 13 in their favor. In the second' half with their best endeavors they succeeded in capturing only two field goals, Deery and McArdle, while the locals were doubling their score. In spite of the defeat the players enjoyed the trip, particularly because of the hospitable treatment accorded them by the high school officials, and all the people of the city with whom they came In contact. On Feb. 10, the high school plays its return game id the college gymnasium. ■ ’

SL Joseph’s 35; SL Viator 14. Above all games this is the game that the locals were determined to win. That was the spirit with which they entered the contest and faithfully maintained to the last moment. Throughout it was a fast and hard game, for even with a sure victory in sight, a larger score would give a greater satisfaction as this is the first game that St. Joseph’s has taken from the Vlatorians since the two institutions entered athletic relations two years ago. The locals were the first to score, and continued at very regular but short intervals to boost the total by twos. The scoring of the over-state boys was as regular, but the intervals were of ample sufficient duration never to place the game in doubt after the first ten minutes of play. Fisher at center was the particular attraction for the visitors. Every one of the varsity played a stellar part; Beckman captured 16 points, McArdle 15 and Deery 2; whereas Moran and Winter by their excellent work as guards hindered the visitors in getting points. Edward Shields, the new-ly-appointed yell master, directed the rooting with good effect while the band entertained the audience in the several interruptions with enthusi-asm-producing selections. The line-up was as follows: St Joseph’s St Viator Beckman R. F. Bergan Deery L. F. Donly McArdle C Fisher Moran L. G. Gordon Winter R. G. Lawler R. G. Duffy Referee —Reed. Umpire—Jacobs.
