| bers are at work now prscticing in the gym.
The members OF the foot ball team are well
| pleased with the showing they made in the
game with the c. A. C. last Monday. They did
not expect to win against team with the
! STARS il had on it. They feel repaid for
their work in the number Of tricks and new
plays they learned.
The day was an awful enc for tackle and the
tackled one, for the ground was like a stone,
and the several players who were injured are on
the mend and glad il was no worse. Townsend
was quite severely hurt on the hip, but he hopes
to be out next week. Davis, who was thrown
on his head, is all right again and ready for
another game.
The number in attendance gratifying to
the management, and no doubt il it could have
been persuaded to postpone the game until
New Years Monday. when the weather will
probably be milder. it would have had still
larger crowd and consequently more money in
the treasury. but the Y. NJ. c. A. couldn't agree
TO postpone il for the reason that some of its
member STAYED in town for the purpose of play
ing that game and left soon after to spend the
rest of the HOLIDAYS away.
YOUNG MEMS CATHOLIC cLUB.
A new aspirant for athletic honors is the Y.
u C. C. o; Gonzago College. Although the
new club has been in existence for years it has
not been prominent in athletics until the past
branches OF athletics during the coming year,
and with its large membership there is no rea-
son why il should not be we'll represented in all
open events. The club is happy in having Ga
ready male. as 1t wcre.) club house. 1t oc-
cupies the eastern wing of the college and the
several rooms are used for parlor, library, card
and committee rooms. In Gonzaga Hall they
have weli-appointed gymnasium, sparrilg and
dressing rooms, with plenty Of lockers, and a
billiard room.
During the season it has the use of the col
iege campus. and very good one it is for all
field events well "a tennis. Father Gillespie
who Ia one of the best friends Young men in our
city have, promises when the college is
erected to turn over to the club the whole of
the present building, which is Of brick and
three stories high, plenty of light and mir and
numerous suites of rooms, which can be thrown
into one. Tbs club proposes to build set of
regulation bowling alleys in the near future.

of interest in the work and have formed boxing
classes. and they are developing some very good
