P itcher and Right Field This is the representative team of the boarders. In former years it was linovvn as the Reserve team, but as the Day Scholars had ar representative nine this season, and the ' Varsity is no longer a hoarcler institution, the name 'iReserves was a misnomer and it'was therefore changed to Boarder Teamf' A Of last year' s nine, Brand, Blaum, Koch, Kempel and Lannig proved them4 selves fast enough for the 'Varsity and played on it, although in outside games the Boarders were allowed the use of Kempel, Lannig and also Schneider. Cthers of the '05-'06 line-uptwho are again with the Boarders are Averman and A. Bennis, who, at the meeting of the candidates, were elected manager and captain, respectively. I J 46

How- ever -tlgere was very little apparent interest shown by all concerned, and up -L0 , . , . Q , , , . the latter part of February only seven games had been played and the majority of these, through lack of practice, were lost. 1 ' About this time Andries, Brand and Kreuzberger resigned from the team 1 . - 1 her Work. hfartin Avermann was elected to fill the because of c ass 21110 0 tv-walls 015599 and after 3, few tryouts of new men, Marsh and Flahavan were 'g.V ' I 1 . selected for the vacant positions of forward and guard, respectively. Here it ws seen that if anything Was to be shown for the season's work, the work must be done at once. And it Was, for in the remaining month of the season Manager Avermann arranged a schedule of nine games, the team prac- ticed regularly and faithfully, with the result that of th-e six games Which were played of the nine the Reserves were victorious in five and lost the sixth only after a hard struggle and after about five minutes of extra time had been played. V - I I A . During contests all Worked together well and little individual playing was done, although in caging the ball 'cSliver Marsh was little short of a Wonder, and Koch, Bennis and Avermann were very consistent. The manner in which the latter' played the center position was easily up to the standard, While Mueller and Flahavan made a pair of guards who could always be relied upon. The record, which follows, is a good one, as seven of the nine regular games played. resulted in Canisius victories: 1906. Nov. 18, Canisius Boarclers Pearls, Hall CPractice Ganiel ..... . .... .
