Tomorrow night the bowling team will
have as its guests the Saengerbund bowlers
for q set OF three games and it remains
TO be seen if the team will better its posi-
ton in the league ranks.
The team has been somewhat weakened
by the enforced absence Of Capt. George
Cox, who has been i'll in bed for the past
two or three weeks, and is not yet able
TO be about
The gymnasium classes are doing good

Romano Ed Walsh. and James Meegan.

day afternoons at 4 o'clock and Saturday

Light Infantry Athletes.
/ An unbrollen chain of victories extend
/ ing over five consecutive years of playing
! in the basketball league was the proud
record the Light Infantry basketball team
held when it lined up Wednesday night
against the Corcoran Cadets. When the
game ended the spell was broken, for the
/ Cadets had forged a new link in the chain,
| and this one represents the first defeat at
the hands of a league team. The other de-
feat during the time was administered in
a match game with Yale.
That the team was weakened by the
absence of Burnett there is no Doubt, and
! his goal throwing might have changed the
! result of the game. McCabe, one of the
! best players the Infantry ever had was
called in to take Burnetts place, but ''he
was out Of practice, not having played this
season. and was of little service to his
comrades" as he observed after the game.
Lotus, formerly OF the Queer Wheel
men, has proven himself a good man at
left forward, and by his cIevsr goal from
I field his side was saved from wearing a
/ coat of whitewash. Taylor is doing well al
centre, a new position for him. while Bur
CESS, Kendall. and Shreve are playing as
/ well as ever. The latter had numerous
/ chances to goal in the last game, but when
he was not blocked his good eye deserted
him. The team seems TO miss the services
of Backs Schafhirt and McQUade.
The Infantry does not play again until
December 20 when it meets the Carols
for the first time.
Manager Ed Neumeyer was sportsman
enough to acknowledge that his team was
defeated fair and square, and did not at
tribute ii to the referee or anyone else
! He added that "a crack team must lose
some time, and this was the time" He
has completed arrangements with the crack
Yale team 10 play a match game here on
December 26. 1t will be the one great game
of the season with a visiting team for an
opponent.
COrcOrnn Cadet Athletes.
The basketball team of the Corcorar
Cadet Corps has just about gotten through
! celebrating its well-earned victory last
! Wednesday over the up-to-that- time un-
| beaten Light Infantry 1t was a great
game, and the defeated players almost tc
a man acknowledge that they were fairy
beaten.
O'Connor won the game for his side, ant
he is, of course, the lion of the hour
Hefner demonstrated his ability TO play {

and blocking has few equals. Moriarty

clever player unusually busy and on the
defence.
The team played a fast gingery game
and the players seemed in condition tc
! stand the rushing tactics of a whirlwind
game. What they need is practice il
throwing goals from field At least
dozen chances went for naugh. For the
clever passing tactics the team uses, Capt
McGlue deserves credit.
Captain Edwards called a meeting last
Monday of the candidates for the indoor
baseball team. Corporal Oscar Walters
was elected captain of the team and he

Captain Julien has good material for a
yclIeybaIl team and ii should be worked
up and the best way to create an interest
is to play exhibition games The Young
Mems Christian Association teams would
no doubt be glad to arrange such games.
Rowland Of the basketball team. has
| recovered the use Of his hand, and Is again
IN the game. Boulay, who has been doing
such excellent work on the Young Mems
Christian Association football team, will be
with his old team in the next game.
