prominent disturber has been sent to
the reef for two months. But there

GERS and crew to making a delaying
situation.

sented by the Normal class, and al

game. The Record says:
"The Bloomsburg class gave an ex-
hibtion Of club swinging that brought
out great applause. These young
athletes are very proficient in the use
of the clubs, are well trained and make
a good impression.
One of the features of the evening
was the basket ball game between the

plucky fight, at the end the score
stood 7 to in favor of Wilkes Barre.
Dan Behee was referee, and Mr..
