COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

The Christmas recess began Thursday 3:30 p. m., and classes will again be taken up Friday morning, Jan. 5, 1911. Nearly all pf the students, excepting only those whose homes are too far away, have departed to spend the holiday season with their parents and friends. All the Fathers of the college will be engaged on Christmas day in assisting the pastors in various parts of the state at the solemn services in their churches. Nearly all of them have also been invited to deliver the Christmas, sermons. Most of them will be away on short vacations till classes are resumed. On last Sunday evening the C. >L. S. rendered the following program : 1. Overture, “Triumphal,” Band. 2. “College Oil Cans,” R. Kuntz. 3. “A Christmas Gift,” U. Koehl. 4. Overture, “Tolono,” Band. 5. Debate. Resolved: That the world owes more to the Romans than to the Greeks. Ass. 11. Gabel, Neg. G. Peters. 6. “Inspiration Waltzes,” Band. , 7. Sketch, “Nobody’s Son,” H. Moran, L. Welch. ; The rendition of the entire program was high class, and was highly appreciated by all. H. Gabel, the winner of the debate is deserving of special praise for the oratorical manner in which he delivered his composition. G. Peters’ oration was well written but not so forcibly presented. It was the best entertainment that the senior society has given *us this .year. Thus far the basket quintette has not been able to capture a game. AcGoodland they were

defeated by the score of 31-19. On Wednesday afternoon the Monticello team, under the management of Jack Anhier an old S. J. C. boy. trimmed the locals by a score of 29-19. The visitors were a husky bunch of clean players, and were after the ball every second of play, whereas the collegians were slow and undecided, to which, more than to anything else they must ascribe the loss of their games. If, by constant practice and hard work they develop alertness and grit and staying powers, they will yet give us soem real basket ball worthy of all comers. The ma tvrial is there, it only awaits proper development.
