Boulder Disappointed.

Boulder, as the home of so many
championship teams is naturally look
ed upon first to turf cut a strong team.
This is the only one of the big college
teams that has tried out so far and the
results of the game with the Manuel
Training school team of Denver was
very disappointing. The team lacks
the team work and the individual stars
of former years and the coach will
have to do remarkable work to bring
them around in line before the big
games come on. The Oldest pupils in
the school who have r~ecollections of
the good teams that we're turned out
were very much disappointed with the
showing that the boys made, and were
not slow in expressing it. This had
the effect Of causing a general upheav-
al in the team, and better material is
on the field now and the team will be
greatly strengthened.

McMurray is rapidly learning the ca,

to be some disappointment over the

Murray has plenty of snap himself and

Weak College Teams.
The college teams of the state dur.

forging rapidly to the front. and the
men who believe in college football
saw the time not far distant when the
elevens of the athletic clubs would be
forced out of the business on account
of the superiority of the elevens bred
in the colleges. This season the out
look is different and it looks very
much nov as if the athletic organiza-
tons were going to be the king pins
and that the colleges were going to
lose a great deal of the prestige they
have been at work gaining during the
last four ears.

their faces turned toward home and
their hearts filled With the promise Of
the victories Of peace. 1t was proba
lily the last Of the great parades upon
which the members OF the Grand Army
will march on earth. Sun and wind
combined to produce day eminently
suitable for the occasion.
Old soldiers from every State In the
Union were In the march with their
comrades OF former years, and through
out the length of the parade 1000
posts Of the Grand Army had repre-
septation, The parade, which started
at the intersection of Randolph street
and Michigan avenue, was about five
hours in passing a given point, The
line OF march was short, and from the
