Before formally disbanding for this year
the st. Mary's College eleven came to-
gether yesterday for the purpose of elect
ing manager and captain for next year.
John Jannet OF 96was unanimously chosen
for manager. He is an all-round athlete,
energetic and enterprising, and will show
himself the right man in the right place.
I MoTc -
who played end in 1893 and halfback in
1894, was elected. w. J. Hanlon, quarter
back OF the 1894 team, aspired to the posi-
ton but succumbed to the claim of supe-
rlor ability and experience put forward by
the friends of McIsaac.
All things considered, the St. Mary bows
may look back with satisfaction to the rec
ord of the past season. Lnck was against
them, as the fire which destroyed the col
lege last September caused almost two
months loss OF practice, and this COM
blned with the lack of good second eleven
to buck against gave but little opportunity
for team work. The eleven contained in
dlvldual players, however, who could hold
their own against the best in the State and
needed but little efficient coaching to form
them into team hard to defeat. To bring
about this result next season no efforts
will be spared by the newly elected captain
and manager.
