ST BONAVENTURES OPPOSE ITHACA IN
 DEBUT SATURDAY
Gus Lonergan, Ex-Wilby Co-Captain Playin g Regular Guard With the Saints
(special to the Democrat)


 St Bonaventure, N. Y., Jan 1J.- Tn a stiff scrimmage session here this afternoon the St Bonaventure college varsity court team showed itself to be in fair way to inaugu- rate the seasons play against Ith- aca college here Saturday night. The Ithacans have a team that is to be feared in small college circles but if to-day's showing is any cri- terion the visitors will meet tough in their first engagement in the Butler gymnasium.
 Lonergan at Guard.
 The first team with Cannon at center, Lonergan and Welch at guards, Levy and Youngblood at forwards first ran the Frosh quin- tet under with a deluge of bas- kets. Using new plays that have been the center of attention since the holidays the regulars complete ly smothered the yearling.
 Later against the first string re- serves the performance was re- peated. Cannon and Welch fea- tured this sortie with several double-deckers each.
 No Worry Here.
 The play of Gus Lonergan, who is playing his first season of var sity ball, was especially pleasing to the Bona mentors. The husky guard who came up from the freshman team of last year to take one of the regular berths left open by graduation showed up in such fashion to-day that there is little worry as to his position despite in- experience.
