visory board was sounded at the year
end banquet of the students in the col
lege refectory last evening, when three
of the members of that board and Father
Emmett, faculty director of athletics
spoke to the students. The occasion was
ono that will be long remembered by
those present on account Of the enthus-
iasm displayed and, unless all signs fail,
it marked the beginning of an era for
greater endeavor in athletics at the local
school.
Mr.. Zappone. in his remarks, very elo-

themselves with the usual list of sports.
