Hurrah! ALI our enthusiastic roots
and basket ball fans that so encour. ved
the team last year, will be able to wit
ness for the first time this season fast
and spirited game with the speppery'
Ferrels'' Military Institute five. They
may have an idea how to shoot a gun,
but we will show them thing or two
on shooting goals. The opponents line
up to be as follows: Schiro, c. Walsh,
r. F. Rosengarten. l.. G.. Salvador, Il.
G. Byrn, L, F. Subs, Maclean, Court
ncy and Burdette.
Captain Hassinger will be unable to
participate on account of injuries re-
ceived IN practice game recently; his
place, however, at forward will be sup
piled by "Dutch" Wilbert. Foster Com
magere says he has team this year
that will make all the others sit up and
take notice. The college five will make
their first trip this session Tuesday night
to play the Y. M. c. A. in Mobile, after
which reception is expected. The Mo-
bile five is considered to be one of the
fastest teams and the most accurate
goal -tossers in the South. But what it
takes to get their measure our boys have
got.
Let US not forget to make mention OF
the defeat of the fifty -nine-inch team in
New Orleans by the fast Aloysius five,
but remember, gentle readers, do not
mean to bring out the fact of their de-
feat but the splendid spirit and grit
they had shown throughout the game,
and, considering the heavy odds, they
deserve great deal of praise. l think
we also owe due appreciation to Bro.
incessaut and untiring efforts
to round his team in shape.
Much t. the desire and longing of the
residents Of the Bay, and more so to the
captains and owners of sea crafts, the
Government has wisely foreseen and
erected seventy five foot weather tow
er on the beach directly in front of the
college. The lights are to be electric
instead of the antiquated oil-burners.
So think mot that when you see the
light that it. is an attack by a raiding
zepplin. Let all join me in praising
Bro. Regus for his faithful 'rvice, and
we sincerely hope that a ''s srning in
time will save nine"
But, oh! gentle readers. hole your
breath for what I now have to tell you.
Bro. Berchmans made an anhouncerient
to the effect that our Christmas holi-
days will start on the, morning of the
2tst to the 3rd of the New Year. He
received such vigorous applause that he
was obliged to muffle his ears, and af
ter some strenuous protestations sue
ceeded in obtaining silence. OF course.
do not be misled, kind subscribers, al
though there is no place like home,
we will not forget our kind friends in
the Bay. (All right, you may exhale
now.)
Our friend, Steve Farrell, has again
Joined his class after three months of
living the life of a retired banker, ow
iIg to the serious operation he had un-
dergone some few months back, and
am sure all are with me in wishing him
a speedy and complete recovery.
With many thanks to our editor and
chief, (Mr. MoreaD, for the interest he
has taken in our notes, and to the citi-
zens of the Bay for their loyal support
