The members of the North Brookfeld
School Athletic Association have not
decided whether they will put foot
ball team on the field or not. Until the
opening of school yesterday. the con-
sensus of opinion amongst the boys
was that no team could be formed
However, there is still desire to see a
team in the school, as it is thought
with proper training a good though
light eleven could be developed. One of
the great drawbacks now for foot ball
team is that it would in all probability
have to go without the services of the
best player and the most experienced
man in the association. Matthew ].
Sullivan, who was taken i'll a few days
ago with typhoid fever.
Young Sullivan was captain of last
years team, and was playing a star
game until he sprained his ankle. He
played on the champion team of Sc, and
would be invaluable to the boys. AL
though he is now on the road to recoy-
cry, 1t is not likely that he will regain
his strength in time for the football
season. If a football team is not
formed it is likely that the school will
have basket ball team, as there are
several good players among the mem
bers. Brooks Maxwell, Dexter Twiss.
Albert Duncan, Oscar Perrault and
Ward Smith are strong basket ball
players, and there are others in the
school who have had more or less expe-
rience in the game.

today cancelled the ball game which
was this morning arranged to be PLAYED

that North Brookfield will not have anv

A topic of comment in North Brook
field today is that Rev. John Berger did
not perform the last rites of the Catholic
church for Claude Fenneff even though
ne was present at Mr.. Fenneff's house
before FIR. Wrenn was sent for to adj
minister the sacraments of the church
This fact is looked upon as very signifi-
cant and it is considered very peculiar
that FIR. Berger did not administer the
rites If he had the authority that is
claimed for him.
