COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Monday morning Mr. Ralston, democratic candidate for governor, gave an address to the students in the college hall. His Bpeech treated about government in general. Last week’s visitors were: Frank .Schmidt, Mrs. P. Schmidt, Milwaukee, Wis.; F. Deslauries, St. George, Ill.; Leo Oeslauries, Manteno, Ill.; Mrs. W. H. Reedy, Chicago; Mrs. Ellen C. Mellady, Otterbein, Mr. and Mrs. L.' F. Douglas, Remington. The delightful autumn afternoon attracted the St. Xavier Glee Club to a river outing. The time was enjoyed strolling along the Iroquois river in singing songs and taking photographs. All enjoyed an agreeable afternoon. Last week the students enjoyed their annual fall outing. For many miles they tramped through the for-, ests and over the prairies. About 100 of the stalwarts found their way to Remington. And what they did to the restaurant keepers was plenty to behold. None .came home that night but the weary and tired, with minds refreshed from the sweet recollections of the many charms that had been gathered in the Intimate communion with autumnal nature. Sunday evening the C. L. S. rendered a very successful private program. At the conclusion of the entertainment, Rev.-L J. Rapp announced to the members that St. Viator college, Kankakee, had asked St. Joseph to engage with them in an intercollegiate debate. The matter will be taken up at the next business pieeting and arrangements will be made for holding the contest. For years there has been very friendly relations between the two neighboring institutions in athletic affairs and it will be pleasing to have the same friendly spirit carried over to educational affairs in intellectual matters also. Sunday afternoon the Rensselaer Juniors again came out to the college grounds, this time to regain the prestige lost on their previous visit. The team was so Changed and also strengthened that there was little left of the forpier club. But the matter of ' size did not frighten the locals, rather it served to nerve their gameness, for as they put It, if we can beat that bunch we'll have more credit. In that spirit' the plucky collegians entered the game and won by the score of 18 to 0. They played a much faster and more consistent game, whereas the visitor* lacked organization. The features were A. Cavanaugh’s drop kick from the 30 yard line for a goal, J. McCaffrey’s 35 yard run, and C. McDonald’s 70 yard run, both for touchdowns. .
