New League to Start.
At the close of the last volleyball
match, which was won by the preach
Iers, after playing of tie with the
lawyers, there was such a demand for
"a new league that another is planned
to begin the first Of next week, with
practically the same teams, with the
exception that the high school team
will be replaced by a doctors team,
and the employed officers team by a
senior class team. This will no doubt
be the fastest voNeyball league by far
ever held in this city, and after the
weather opens up the games will be
played on the tennis court.
The manner of deciding the games
will not be by points this term, but by
actual minutes OF play.
