COLLEGEVILLE.

Very Rev, John R. Dinnen, fit. Mary’s church, Lafayette; was college visitor Wednesday. The students win attend photodramatic representation of "The Last Days of Pompeii” on Friday School will close for the Christmas recess Monday afternoon with the 3:30 class period. Classes will again be resumed on Tuesday morning, January 6, 1914. * Ray Wachs, of Tuscon, Arizona while exercising on the swing at the out-door gym, lost his grip on the rope in mid-air and fell to the ground from a height of about 15 feet and sustained severe fractures of his right wrist and ankle. The following students have been Belected, l by the athletie». board to represent the college on the varsity basketball team: Paul Deery, captain, John Schall, Armand SchellInger, Edward McGinty, Joseph Monahan, Stanley Beckman, Ed ward Mattingly. Only two -of the members have been on former teams, Deery two years and Schall one year. All the other members, however, played, on the class teams last season and showed true varsity timber. On paper the teams look as strong as any that has yet represented the local institution. But the members have the proper St. Joe spirit and there is every indication that they will equal if not surpass the good records that former teams have set, No defeats on the home floor, and more victories away from home than defeats is the goal of their ambition. It is two years since a team has suffered a defeat on the home floor, so the present varsity has a high ideal to follow in that respeet. There is no reason why they should not sue- . ceed in spite »of the fact that the games will be pf a far higher 'class than formerly. The greater part of the schedule has been completed, and several heavy games are still pending negotiations. The squad, will open the season when they meet Co. M at the armory on .Friday evening.
