tain of the basket ball team- The exciting games, one last Sunday, the other on Wednesday. The last game was rather rough, resembling more a football tussel with unimproved rules than a basket shooting match. The Reps are ready to take on outside games. On Saturday, Dec. 18, the strong Manual Training School team, of Indianapolis, will play the first game of the season at the college. This was the only team that was able to defeat our last season’s strong aggregation. A fast game is looked for. The elections for the officers of the second term in the C- L. S. were held last Sunday with these results: Pres., T. Koenn; V. Pres., G. Pax; Sec. A. Berghoff; Treas., C. Stalb; Crit. L. Spornhauer; Marsh., A. Copenolle; Ex. Com., B. Voors, J. McIntyre, C. Condon; Librs., J. Goetz, Jr., J. Moeder- Hon. E. P. Honan attended and commented very favorably upon the work of the orators for their felicitous nomination and acceptance speeches. The society will render a public entertainment before the students depart on the holiday vacation. On the evening of the Bth, the A. L. S. delivered before the students the following selections: “The Monoply of Fame,” Harold Moran; “The Danish Boy,” Lloyd Curby; “How to Write a Letter,” Edmund Fleming; “The Crow’s Children,” A. Kihm; “The Tree Toad,” Clarence Kussmaul. “An Awkw’ard Squad” was a rather awkward farce attemptingly enacted by W. Weber as captain, A. Nadolny sergeant, and the recruits P. Retinger, A. Osterloh, A. Pessefall, H. Moran, L. Welsh, E. Serios. Three orchestra selections were interspersed: Faust, Trovatore, and German Favorites. Invocation, song by mixed quartet; violin and piano by J.
