many chores and hiked out to Mid- dlebury. The hiking club has just been organized and is explained by George Corcoran.
 The ping-pong team under the great coaching of Counselor Jo- seph Patrick Mulcunry expects to hit the road and play some of the leading teams in New England. May we expect the !cHv s.hJ May we present the St Mary's Gales as the pennant winners. The Gales are the worst team in the league and were cellar occupants all season.
 The Columbian Squires varsity team has in it's first year enjoyed a most successful year Playing 23 games to-date and win ming IS and losing 2.
 Well, boys, it's the last round up. Four more weeks and the eats will be in front of us. Plans will be made very shortly for the banquet and the boys are just ''rarin'" to go.
 That famous Bonaventure team keeps up its winning ways, but not because they are having big nights but Jim McGraw and his crew are all set for the grand prize.
 Hook Dubuque and his famous hook shot are well known all over the league and no doubt he will want more money for his services next year.
 Can anybody tell us Where Lonesome Lefty Conlon's big scores have gone to since Dancing Jackie Kelley came into the league?
 Francis Lane wishing the league would last little longer 50 that he can show the boys that he is a very much improved player.
 Francis Fitzmaurice and Jim Phelan, Jr, are known to the rest of the squires as "Ike and Mike"
 The absent list was little smaller last week when only three men failed to put in an appear ance.
 The Junior team just can't seem to be depended on. One night they are very good and on the next playing might be termed very rank.
 At present the Bonaventure crew look like the team likely to cor the prize but anything is liable to happen in a league like this.
 The feature game in volleyball this week are: Counselor Tom Healey's Pancake crew will meet Joe Robinson's Cracker Hill crew while in the other feature game of the evening Chief Counselor Pat Wallace's Irish will stack up against Jim (F'ire Chief) Kelley smoke eaters. Counselor Joseph Patrick Mulcunry stated the ether night that he is going to take his ping-pong team out of the moth balls and have them give an exhi- bition game at the gym.

 The St Mary's team assisted the crews pennant chances when they trimmed the fast stepping Fordham team in the house league. This victory for the Gael's was the surprise victory of the year and which just about puts the Fordahm team out of the run ming.
 The blizzard predicted for this last Thursday apparently failed to arrive, but it was very much in evidence at the Croft Gym where the Bonaventure team showed the St Thomas outfit.
 This weeks big five were: Gil martin with 9 points, Kelley points. Kyle points. J. Conlor with points, and slavin with points.
 The lowly St Thomas outfit were sunk still farther into the mire o1 next to last place by the up and fast stepping Notre Dame team But boy, oh boy! were those Notre Dame boys surprised in thinking that they were only a pushover fol them. When the game was over Joe Stevens told me that he thought the St Thomas outfit are the hardest team in the circuit tc beat. They keep on plugging fol those points from beginning til end of every game without any lei up. With a few breaks now and then this team will make it hard for any of the teams in the league or city barring none. The Notre Dame boys, all did some nice play ing.
 P. S.-Say fellows I wonder what "Diz" Fitzmaurice Is going to do with all the goats he las now? It wouldn't be bad idea fol him to sell them to the banaue' for good goat ban quet. :.

 In the weekly gabbing contes between "Diz" Fitzmaurice ant Phelan, the great "Fitz" came ou on top and is now back in hi usual form. As you all must know the great "Fitz' was defeated las week by little Charlie Boyles an' was Fitz mad?
