The first football game of the season
was played last Thursday between the
college eleven and an aggregation from
North Side High school. The game was
practically featureless, owing to the
fact that both teams devoted most of
the time to trying out candidates and
working new tricks. The Sacred Heart
squad was greatly disabled on account
of the absence of several of its strong
regular players. Captain Upton sus-
tanned a sprained foot, which will pre-
vent his practicing for a couple of
weeks.

time this term on Saturday last. Sept.
%. Rev. William Lonergan, S. j., who

men to take interest both in elocution
and debating. He pointed out the ne
cessity of entering into the debates
with energy and the advantages which
a debating society afford to a young
man at college. The senior elocution
class comprises the four college classes
and bi-monthly meetings viii prevail
throughout the year.
