COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

The following were our Sunday visitors: Mr. and Mrs. Maschek, Edward and Miss Marie Masheck, Chicago; Mrs. A. Coyne, Miss Gertrude Coyne, Aurora, 111. Father B. Besinger, C. PP- S., prefect of discipline, was detained at his home, Mishawaka, owing to the serious illness of his aged mother. He returned yesterday; and reports splendid improvement in her condition. Qn Sunday the Athletic Association held their regular election of officers for the second term. A. Berghoff was chosen president, Ed Beckman secretary, T. Harrington treasurer. The finances of the association are in a very healthy condition, and a notable term in athletics is in prospect. With the re-opening of school, several new faces appeared in the classrooms. The newcomers have taken the places of those who did not return, thus leaving the total number unchanged. Some of the wise lads took it upon themselves to extend the vacation days on their own account; how, alas too late, they have come to the conclusion that making up for lost time on free afternoons is an occupation not over-replete with pleasures and enjoyments. Goodland played their return game with the varsity in the gymnasium Friday evening and defeated the locals 34-24. The visitors played the better ball. The college quintette was handicapped by the absence of three of the regulars, and the substitutes that were put into the game, though they played very well, had not sufficient time to develop team work, and, moreover, the impressions of the vacation ays had not yet been effaced.
