With Fitchhure.

Manager Peter E. Hand of the Holy
Cross foot ball team has arranged game
for Saturday with the Catholic Young
Mems Lyceum eleven of Fitchburg, which
was formerly coached by Maurice Con-
nor, the Holy Cross coach, and is consid-
cred a strong team.
The Holy Cross squad was soundly lee
tured yesterday for inattention to train
ing and proneness to sulk if played on
the second eleven. The result was that
the men as a whole were ready for fast
aggressive work, and they all got larger
measure than they were looking for

and Conner working with the guards and
centre. Monahan, the regular fullback
on the first eleven, is In the college in

the Williams game. He appeared on the
field in uniform yesterday, but was not
lined up. Batters was retained at left
halfback on the varsity, and Morrison

and each year furnish a large quota of
players to the varsity
Trainer Henry j. Brennan had long
string of candidates for track team hon
ors out for light work yesterday. Enthu-
siasm in this department has reached
high water mark, and easily discounts all
previous years. There are many very
promising men among the new men, and
Mr.. Brennan has great hopes of turning
out an unusually good team. There viii

the foot ball season has closed Little
judgment can be made of the mems abili-
