COLLEGEVILLE NEWS.

These have been college visitors during the last week: Geo. Wolf, Indianapolis; Frank Waiz, St. Joseph’s Hill, Ind.; J. M. Shields, A. Walsh, E. Pfieffer, Chicago. Last Monday and Tuesday were regular examination days. All in all the results were satisfactory, but as usual some heads are drooping because they experienced again that the easy road does not.lead to praiseworthy notes. A new set of lockers have arrived from St. Louis this week. They are being set up in the lavatory, and will prove of great convenience to the students. LA number of gymnastic appliances have also been added td the gymnasium paraphernalia. The Reps finally succeeded in landing the long score of a foot ball game by defeating the Pullman, 111. team, comprising mostly old S. J. C. students, by a 23-0 score. The locals learned from previous defeats, alas too late, that one captain is all any team may have if their signals shall work opportunely true. The early snowstorms have brought basket ball to the fore. Daily games are now played by the tryouts for the varsity. The enthusiasm displayed is great owing to the large number of available candidates. They who wish to get the regular positions dare not flinch one moment for the next rival may easily forge ahead and capture the. contested prize. Rev. Ig. A. Wagner, C. PP. S., Catholic University, Washington, D. C., who is engaged upon a chemical analysis of the water of the college well, reports the following results: “The water turns out so well that I am forced to make another analysis before I can publish the results. The water is identical with that of the French Lick Springs but the strength of it is only l-10 of the latter. It contains less common salts and more epsom salts and carbonic acid.”
