sALESIANUM BASKETBALL.
Boys In Good shape and Are Being
Well Directed.

The Salesianum cagers were on the
wooden sways yesterday for basket
bali practice. The players seemed
limbered up and in good form. One
of the most interesting features of
the practice was the splitting up of
the boys into two teams, which will
be known as A and Il. Team A SEEM
ed 10 surpass team Il in strength, de-
feating Il by score of : TO ..
Mr.. Malioy, who has been coaching
the Eighth street floor-runners. left
for the West last week, bat will be
back during the ensuing week to take
the boys under his wing. One of the
stiffest schedules OF any team faces
the boys. and they realize this. How
ever, n good selection from the candi-
dates. and the grit which characteriz-
es the players. is expected to win n
rich harvest of games for the school
during the season.
Following the example of their older
brother-students in forming a team
mt to play on the floor. the De Sales
basketball team has already showed
up in fine form. The youthful play
ers have played two games this sea-
son, winning both. Last year they
won laurels for themselves by de-
feating some of the best Junior teams
Of the city.
Under the ingenious direction o.
their crack manager. Reardon. the
boys will doubtless be piloted TO many
victories this season. Some of their
games will be staged at st. Joseph
gymnasium, Tenth and French streets,
and they will also practice there.
Thus the Salesianum School will be
represented this season by both senior
and junior teams. and the season
promises to be most interesting and
successful.
