J. Vanfeld, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was the guest of the fathers at the college several days this week. In spite of the heavy snow storm on last Sunday afternoon the foot-, hall team was out in their moleskins and played their first hard football game of the season against their old rivals, the Holy Cross Club team, of Chicago. The were well matched both in skill and in strength and weight. The entire game was interesting and fast. The Collegians scored a touchdown in the first quarter. In the second quarter the visitors were playing with the wind, and a spectacular run by Beelman for forty yards for a moment took the breath out of the home players and when they recovered the Chicago lads had scored a touchdown and kicked goal. The third quarter was a seesaw of line plunges. In the fourth quarter the visitors forced the hall to the St. Joe 15 yard line, then tbe locate held for downs. Dowling promptly punted the hall high in the air and the strong wind carried it almost to the other end of the field. In attempting to catch the oval the visiting fullback fumbled and a college man fell upon the hall. A few line plunges and Dowling was over for the second touchdown between the goal posts. Murphy missed goal. The game ended with the hall in the possession of the visitors on the college thirty yard line. Next Sunday the Excelsiors of Chicago will play on the local field. There are a number of old St. Joe boys on the team, and if their predictions will he verified there will be a good fast game in store for those seeing the game.
