1.-THE calibre of st. Benedict's
team reached an all-time low
this year, and affected athletics
! seriously. L was surprised ana
sorry, but the students Of the
years to come may be of a high
er athletic standard than the
present ones. There was very
little support from the student
body, causing the boys moral to
drop. For the information of some
we withdrew from the Confer
