Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 93, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 April 1913 — COLLEGEVILLE. [ARTICLE]

COLLEGEVILLE.

The gt. Xavier Athletic association was begun with the election of Rupert Landoll as manager and Charles Waiz as assistant manager of base ball for the ‘present season. Joseph Busse was selected tennis manager. The outlook speaks for a very promising season. Sunday, April 13, was in every way a very appropriate day for the celebration of. the patronal feast of the college. Solemn high mass was sung by Rev. C. Schuette, assisted by Rev. Albin Schiedler, Rev. Hugo Lear and Rev. P. A. Kanney. A .very delightful and conviction* filled sermon was delivered by Rev. Wm. D. Sullivan, of Wabash, Ind. The choir, under the direction of Rev. J. Henkel, rendered unusually high class music at all the services. Prof. L. W. Havorka presided at the organ. The first base ball game on the schedule hag to be called off on account of the wet condition of the grounds last Sunday. The -next game is listed for Sunday afternoon, April 20th, when the newly organized Varsity will take on the strong St. Xavier team. There should be nothing to interfere with the playing of the game for'the diamonds are now thoroughly dry, and will not be so easily soaked by every little rain that falls. The players for some of the positions are still hanging in the balance, depending upon the results of the tests that are in progress this week.
