COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Wednesday afternoon the students who were conditioned in the last quarterly examinations were granted a special test to work off the condition. Several of the conditioned ones were strong tryouts for the basket ball varsity and unless the work is made up will. not be eligible to the team. The athletic association board held a special meeting Sunday evening for the purpose of organizing the varsity team. The following; quintette was al- ' most unanimously selected: McArdle, Deery, forwardsf Slndelar, center; Moran, Barth, guards. With the exception of Barth all are college men, and three have received their letter in basket ball as members of the very successful team of last year, and at that they were the stars of the team. Barring ‘accidents, this combination ought to better the last season's record* if not in the number of games won, for there is but very little margin for that, at lease in a superior total of points scored over the opponents, and in an Improved article of basket ball that experience has taught them to give. The schedule Is not yet entirely arranged, but negotiations are in progress with some strong teams for games on the home floor. The first game will be Saturday afternoon, December 7th, at 3:00 o’clock, when the Whiting Owls come to open the season. Friday evening at 7,: 30, December 13th, the Idaville H. 8. will make its first appearance on the college floor in quest of our. trophies. The general admission to games on the college floor will be 25 cents.
