handball tournament. The basketball team has shown up better than any other team of many previous years. In the members of the baseball team We surely have a winning team. But, fellows, we have, once 'more, just begun. lVe have laid the foundation for the future. Next year, no doubt, will find the Day Scholars' Athletic Association, now numbering about 200 members, greatly advanced.

Left guard Cn Thursday evening, December 13th, the Day Scholars' basketball team, accompanied by a large number of rooters, journeyed to Tonawanda, where they played a surprisingly good game with the Eldridge Cycle Club7s basketball team, one of the 'fastest organizations in this vicinity. Although this was their first game and although they' were outweighed to a man, the Day Scholars sue' ceeded in making 29 points to their opponents? 40. The first half of the game ended 19-15 in favor of Tonawanda.

015132 Smoker . An event' of unusual interest a.nd most gratifying results was the smoker given under the auspices of the Senior Day Scholars at the College Villa for the benefit of the D. S. Athletic Association. Though Jupiter did not just dote on Villa Park the evening of June 5th, 1907, still a considerable number of gentlemen gathered with a large contingent of Day Scholars for the delightfully social meet. The committee of arrangements had transformed the spacious assembly hall into a gem of elegant decorations, and conjured up a menu whose very sight was sufficient to challenge desperate onslaughts. The Day Scholars? Juvenile Orchestra made a decidedly appreciated debut, whilst-progressive pedro, merry songs and informal speechmaking gave general zest to the happy occasion, which gave vent to its good will and friendly feelings by staking the D. S. A. A. with a handsome and liberal purse. In short, the unprecedented undertaking is deserving of all commendation, and will go far to link the Day Scholars closer to their Alma Mater. Accordingly the-assembly dis- solved itself with a mutual au revoir next year. s p ianarhzrs' Qltbletir Qlssnniatiun Fall Term. gggafh gf QBffiLg1'5 ,Spring Term. O. S. BTURPTTTY, S.

In explanation o-f the rule regarding the wearing of the O, the following is quoted from the Lest W'e Forget of 1905-G: MA man, to earn his 'Of must play on the representative College ,team against outside teams in three full games, or 27 innings of baseball, or in three full or six half games of basket- ball, or in three full or six half games of hockey, during one scholastic year.
