Olean, Nov. 2— Word has been re­

dained on June 12th, 1934, as Fr.
Silas, has volunteered as one of the
members o f the Franciscan mission
band soon to leave for China.
Football and baseball fans of the
section will remember “Mike” as one
of the most colorful ends and catch­
ers ever to perform on the local fields
for St. Bonaventure College. A .500
hitter in baseball and a consistent
punter in football, Fr. Silas won rec­
ognition as captain of the strong
baseball team of 1929 and as co-cap­
tain of the powerful 1928 football
team which swamped Niagara’s big
eleven of that year.
