It is hoped that all tbe old teams will organize and get into the big senior league. The intermediate und school leagues will l.e soon organized and regular practice commenced. A high school class has been formed and the boys have caught the scbool spirit and by all indications are going to make the game a great success. Their chief ambition seems to be to out do the intermediates in gymnastics, athletics and basket ball.
