COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

The sermon to the students next Sunday, the Feast of St. Joseph, the patron feast of the college, will be delivered by Rev. Ig. Raugh, Hanover Center, Ind. Among our visitors during the week were the followings J. Martin, Indianapolis; Rev. Ig. Zircher, Goodland; Rev. J, Schuette, Rev. J. Kohnen, Chicago.

On St. Patrick’s day Rev. Arnold Weyman delivered a lecture on the Irish apostle at Kentland; and on the same day Rev. T. F. Kramer preached the sermon at the St. Patrick’s Day celebration at St. Patrick’s church, Terre Haute. The candidates for the baseball team are busy getting into shape for the opening of the season. The very unfavorable March weather has thus far kept the workers in the gymnasium, and hence the pitchers only have been able to do real work. Harrison who throws with his left hand promises to be the season’s mainstay on the pitching staff. He controls a good curve, and has speed, but lacks experience Fiely, last year’s league champion hurler, will prove a faithful understudy, if not a claimant for equal honors. Besides Sabados and Lill may come in for a share of the burden. Grathwohl, catcher, and Carmody fielder, are the only holdovers from last year’s champions. ' The sporting editor of the Viatorian, Kankakee, has doped it out why the St. Joe Varsity could win no basket ball games this season. The Varsity was ..playing against the inevitable! luck of thirteen. Thus the edit tor: “Did you ever believe that] 13 was unlucky for St. Viajtor’s? If you did, erase that thought from your mind by glancing at the St. Joseph contest. The game was played on Feb. 13. Thirteen men were used as participants; the Varsity scored 3x13, St. Jo-j seph 2x13 and won by 13 points.* Never again will wo be superstitious.”
