Collegeville Items.

Last Wednesday afternoon the students who were conditioned in the last quarterly examinations were granted a special test to work off the conditiion. Several of the conditioned ones were strong tryouts for the varsity basketball team, and unless the work is made up they will be ineligible to the team. The Athletic Association board held a special meeting Sunday evening for the purpose of organizing the varsltiy team. The following quintette was almost unanimously selected: Deery, forwards, Sindelar, center, Moran, Barth, for guards. With the exception of Mr. Barth all are college men and three have received their letter in basketball as members of the very successful team of last year, and at that they were the stars o-f the team. Barring accidents this combination ought to better last season’s record, if not in the number of games won for there is but very little margin for that, at least in a'superior total of points scored over the opponents, and in an improved article of basketball that experience has taught them to give.

The schedule is not yet entirely arranged, but negotiations are now in progress with some strong teams for games on the home floor. The first game wil be- on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 7, at 3 o’clock, when the Whiting Owls come to open the Reason. Friday evening at 7:30, December 13, the Idaville high school will make Its first apearanca" on the college floor in quest of our trophies. The general admission to the games on the college floor wl’i be 25 cents.
