SaIesianum Will Go Against Villa Nov'
Five in Contest Tonight

The Salcsianum basketball team will
resume basketball playing on rhc re-
modelled Brownson Hall floor AT Fourth
and jackson streets, this evening, when
the Villa Nova College freshmen quintet
come here 10 try their luck with the
locl combination The reconstruction of
the Brownson gymnasium has cost large
amount, but the result is something OF
which anyone could be justly proud, ii
being considered one OF the best in this
city.
The Gold and White speed boys arc
loath TO leave the st. Patrick S floor, on
which they have not lost 81 single game
this season, but by the wonderful showing
they put up yester ay At practice at
the Brownson gym there is no doubt that
they viii continue IN the fine form they
have displayed so far.
It is hope that an Improvement will
take place on the locals return to home
games after having lost their last two
successive games on foreign floors. And
vet they managed to break even in their
series of four games away IN two weeks
by winning the first two contests. In all
the West Eighth street boys have sue
ceeded IN winning the majority of their
games away, besides, as mentioned before
having come out victors IN every home
contest. Since this is the Salesianum
boys first home game within a fort
night a mountaineering crowd OF spec
tators Is anticipated TO greet them oD their

of being one OF the biggest fires ever

could get the hose on the ground and
the water turned on, the winds had
famed the flame, blowing it inside the
building and the space between the
ceiling and the roof caught fire and
burned with cruel fury making 1t
very difficult to get at the raging
flames with the hose, and the dense
smoke at the time blinded and suffo-
