 The three teams that have com menced work. Sacred Heart and Den yer University here and the School of Mines at Golden, have settled pretty well into routine of early-sea- son hardening up.

 Murphy will have the advantage this year of being able to draw material from the school of law and dentistry of the university, which are located downtown in Denver. Heretofore, few, if any men have been chosen who were not attending classes on the campus.
 At the School of Mines Ralph Glaze has charge of the eleven's des- tinies Glaze's crews are not to meet their first opponents for nearly a month, and. as he has most of last years eleven for a nucleus, ha is expected to develop a strong con tender before he is called upon to pit his strategy against that of the admittedle formidable disputants for conference honors.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
 AT ST. PATR1cK,s CHURCH

Citing the brother of Solomon, wisest of men, who, desirous of asking great favor of the king. went to his mother, petitioning her to make the request, since her royal son could refuse her nothing, Rev. Daniel F. Sullivan preached at St
 Patrick's church Sunday at the 10.3O Mass It was the feast of the assump- ton of the Virgin Mary, mother of the Saviour, and the preacher recalled the fifth century tradition that the Blessed Virgin had died at Jerusalem ln the presence of all the disciples except Thomas. Later when the absent Thomas had returned and the tomb was opened
 the body was not there. While modern Catholics do not know the exact truth of this tradition, they do logically honor the immaculate. Mother of the .Redeemer
 believing that as hers was no ordinary
 life, it is natural to suppose that hel Divine Son must have received her into
 heaven in an. extraordinary manner to give basis for this tradition of five cen
 turies following the cruciffxion.
 Having honored her in. the Annuncia-
 ton, the visitation of Elizabeth, the na. tivity, the presentation, her sorrows 2 Calvary, the Catholic church commemo rates also this belief in her assumption If the wise Solomon could deny no. re quest of his mother, surely the Author .o
 Wisdom will heed the intercession of Hi Blessed Mother when her mediation 1T matters spiritual or temporal is besough by those who affectionatelyi entitle her in the litany of her attributes, Help O Christians, comforter of the afflicted refuge of sinners. During the day lights glowed in tn, l arch which outlines the painting of Th' l Assumption, over the Blessed Virgin al | tar, which is marble memorial to Rev i Daniel Mullin. the. pastor who began thu erection of the church edifice, and whc | had served with distinction as a Civil wa 1 chaplain. e

TWO SUNDAY CALLS FOR FIREMEN

Electric wires were responsible for two small fires in this city Sunday. At 9.45 o'clock Sunday evening the fire depart ment was called out by an alarm from box If, corner Thames square, for a small blaze in the grocery store at No. 152 West Main street conducted by Myer Bucovetsky.
 The firemen found upon arrival that the blaze was caused by defective wiring leading from the top of a~wall back of a counter down to an electric lamp on the counter. The wires were yanked down by the fremen. Beyond the fact that the store was fulh of smoke, there was no damage.
 The wiring was evidently done by an amateur, for it was nailed in various places on a narrow strip of wood fasten- ed to the wall. The proprietor of the store was admonisned to employ an elec- trician for such work hereafter. The re- call was sounded shortly after the alarm

 The other fire occurred about S.23 o'clock Sunday morning, when the de- partmenr received a still alarm for a small blazeN at No. 5S Shetucket street, occupied by Walter Moran as a storage battery plant. The fire was about the motor used in connection with the busi- ness and probably resulted from the re- action of the electricity when the com mercial current which went off during the thunder storm earlier in the morning, came on again. About the only damage was to the insulation on wires leading to the motor, which burned off for some dis tance.
 The fire was. discovered by people in the immediate neighborhood and as they couldn't reach the Central station by telephone, owing to the fact that the phone they tried to use was one of those put out of commission by the electric storm, they sent an automobile to the station to summon the fremen.
