COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Saturday was the mid-year holiday. The students enjoyed the morning by going to the city or rambling through the country. On Feb. Bth, Saturday, Sr. Viator will be our opponents. This will be the great game of the season, owing both to the strength of the neighboring team and to great rivalry between the two institutions, athletically. The game will be called at 8 p. m. The pleasant snow of Sunday evening brought out many cameras on Monday morning. The local amateur photographers are bound to get the best there Is in scenery for lasting impressions of the delightful Hoosier winter seenes. On Sunday night the glee club had its first outing, when they rendered several highly appreciated numbers at the entertainment given by the St. Augustine Literary Society at their hall. The youthful singers acquitted themselves very well, and the members owe much of their ample success to the untiring efforts Prof. W. J. Nowak gives to the club. Base ball is already in the air. Every day finds a squad of pitchers working in the gymnasium. There are splendid prospects for a strong team: with Lill at his best, and the rest of the infield of last season intact the team will be able to give a good account of itself. Though the schedule is not yet complete, games have been arranged with some of the strongest college teams, as St. Viator, Wheaton, Loyola and others. The hardest game of basketball in which the locals have been engaged was the one with 8t Stanislaus College last Saturday. When the last whistle sounded the score stood 38 to 18 against the visitors. This Is the lowest score to whieh the home team has been held this season, and the St. Stanislaus lads put up the gamest fight that has been seen on our floor for some thne. The team work of the home quintet was exceptionally strong, and at times the visitors were entirely unable to break up their fiery pass work. Ooach Stockton has succeeded in building the best point-getting machine that hgs yet appeared on the records. J. W. Bishop returned to Kirkland today after a brief visit at the home of 8. R Nichols. He is the father-in-law of Mrs. Bertha Nichols Bishop, who recently came here from Canada for a visit with her father, S. R Nichols.
