St. Joseph’s 'College Won Two Good Basketball Games.

It is a strange coincidence that the team which played the last basketball game on the old gym floor should be the first to play on the new one. The Holy Name squad of South Bend defeated the St. Joe boys last year when they played here, but the tables were turned on them Saturday night when they were defeated by the St. Joe aggregation with the one-sided score of 50 to 11. The game started out with the teams apparently pretty well matched, but the local quintette soon forged ahead, and at the end of the first half the score stood at 18 to 8. The second half was simply a runaway, for when the whistle blew the score booik showed that the visitors had only 11 point to St.. Joe’s 50. Sunday afternoon the second team of St. Joe defeated the N >rth Shore team of Chicago 48 to 12.
