COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Sunday brought us the following visitors: Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dermody, Hammond; T. F. Maloney, Tefft;’ Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Annen, Chicago; Miss Catharine Weber, Celina, Ohio; J. Hummer, Mishawaka; Rev. J. Walsh, Seeleyville; Rev. P. Thienes, Sullivan. ‘ T ' * St Joseph’s 27—Monticello H. S. 4. The St. Joseph’s basket ball team has now an open record. Their second defeat of the season was wiped out last Friday night when the Monticello H. S. saved itself at the Collegian’s hands from scoreless honors by Hie slim margin of two baskets in the last minute of play in their return game in the college gymnasium. Two games of basket ball are surely too strenuous an exertion for any team, Yet Monticello H. S. essayed the attempt to their utter sorrow when they 'tackled the St. Joseph’s quintette after having conquered the Rensselaer H. S. Apparently the visitors were not in a class with the collegians though a month before they had defeated them; and at no stage of the game did they appear to be the same team that had gained that well-de-served victory. But the college lads had improved wonderfully both in floor work and in basket shooting, and had the advantage, of their own floor. On the other hand the spacious floor and the double-header greatly handicapped the visitors. At that both teams missed one of their stars; Beckman being out of the game on account of torn ligaments in his right foot, and Schlademan for the visitors because of his wrenched knee. The high school lads showed a game spirit to the finish of the game. The locals scored right off the reel, and played the first half with their usual energy, for they had the good basket and must get a safe margin so as not to lose out in the second period. The second half, with the poor basket, continued in the same fashion; and then it was the grim determination to keep the visitors scoreless that made the game interesting, but saved the Monticello boys from a shutout by two pretty, long shots from the center of the floor d uringtbe last few minutes of play. Deery, McArdle and Reichart did the scoring for the home team, dividing the points among themselves 8 and 9 and 10 respectively. Moran and Winter at guard worked so well that during the forty minutes of play the visitors only once worked the ball to their own basket only to throw the ball out of bounds.

The St. Joseph’s quintette will play Hebron team, Lafayette, Sunday. St. Cyril’s College at Chicago, Wednesday, and Crown Point H. S. in the college gymnasium Saturday afternoon.
