COLLEGEVILLE.

At the general meeting of the athletic association last Sunday, Harold Moran was elected president by a few votgs only over Chas. McArdle, to succeed Thomas Harrington; the vote received by Lloyd Curby for secretary was almost unanimous. He had been acting secretary for James Fitzgerald, who has been j&bsent from the college on account of illness during the last three months, but will return at the opening of the next term. John Guedelhofer was given the office of treasurer by a large majority to do the arduous work of collecting the fees, which was so ably done by Joseph Gordon during the last session. The board of directors will be elected Jan 26. Among the juniors a four-team base ball league has been organized. A series of games is scheduled to be played on Sunday afternoons. The little fellows are showing great interest in the new venture, and are working hard to capture the first Indoor base ball prize. The stars of the mat, and the grinders of the bars, and other acrobatic performers are preparing for a public exhibition of their art, to be given pome time during next March. The Varsity added another pearl to its lengthening string of victories when they defeated the Goodland Carleton Club last Saturday afternoon in the college gymnasium, 48 to 26. Most of the visitors’ points were made on long shots from the middle of the hall, for the number of such points made in one game they no doubt hold the record on the local floor. The Varsity did not play with its usual snap arid fleetness, or their end of the score would have been much larger. Quite a number of spectators from Rensselaer were out to witness the game. At this game the Varsity appeared for the first time in their nobby new monogramed maroon sweaters. The next game wifi be on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 19, when the Palmer Monitors, of Chicago, will come down in search of Hoosier trophies, .n good game is assured for the Monitors are the champions of last year’s City Park League, and they are playing the same team that won that distinction. K. L. Stockton is continuing his work with the Varsity and will be down for another drill Saturday afternoon.
