At Mo-n-ticello Friday night, the varsity again demonstrated that they can lose on a small floor. Being only the third defeat of a strenuous season does not mar their record much. This was the hardest and toughest proposition the team has 'been up against. Had it not been that they had defeated the same -team earlier in the season, there would 'have been a better accounting for the crushing defeat at the hands of the malitia company. , Winter had to be taken out at the' very onset of the game because of a badly crushed nose; that crippled -the team’s spirit; Mc--Ardl© was forced to quit the game, that broke the offensive; Beckman should have been taken out, but there was no substitute to .take his place, that weakened the defensive. Against aIL these and other odds the varsity showed the true St. Joe spirit and fought gamely to the bit-ter end. St. Joseph 51; Lafayette-Hebron Club 12. With three -regulars missing in the line-up the varsity entertained the Lafayette visitors in tbe college gymnasium Sunday afternoon. The visitors were by far heavier, but with their fast pass work the collegians ran rings around them on the big floor. Even the Purdue men that were in the game could, not, save th© day. At no time was the game indanger, and the only inspiration that kept the game from lagging was tbe fact that the varsity went into the second half determined -to reach the half century mark. Every St. Joe player scored points, but Reichert starred with ten field goals to his credit.
