COLLEGEVILLE.

Beginning Friday and continuing till Tuesday the semi-annual examinations will be given in ail classes. ‘‘Gym Junk,” the basket ]ball edition of the college news distributor made its initial appearance last week. Its staff has somewhat changed in the collegiate mutilations, but its character has only been effected so far as Its items are breezier and more up-to-date. - St Joe 37. The varsity is continuing its march to victories. Another team that was really feared, SL-Cyril’s, Chicago, invaded our territory Saturday afternoon. When the game was over all that was left of them returned home, leaving St. Joseph’s a victory of 3718 to tell of strong, endeavors. It required nearly five minutes of play for Beckman to score the first two points. But after that, between Beckman’s and Deery’s shooting, there was not a question of the final outcome, for when the first half had ended the story read 24 to 3 in favor of the cardinal and purple. In the second period the subs were sent to the firing line, and the best that they could gather was a 15 point tie for that half. The tale should have been different but with the game so safely stored the energy relaxed and the visitors were not slow to grasp every opportunity to boost their totals. The Chicago team displayed some artistic pass work, but were unable to capture field goals after working the ball to their enji of the floor. They showed- a game fight to the very end. The date of the return game at Chicago has not yet been definitely fixed. This week, owing to the examinations, there was no game; next week there will be two to retrench the lost date.
