The murder Of which Durkin has

Of conversation there was an cx-

dead. II was Durkin's defense
that he shot Shanahan in the belief
that tho federal officer was at

Martin Durkin must 20 to prison

After determining first that Dur

Council of Churches in Two Articles)
WASHINGTON, ID. G., July TO-
The golden rule in international re-
lations is the ideal of the churches
as shown by many official actions
during the last few years.
Aroused by the tremendous losses
in wealth and human life and by the
enormous wrongs, in Justices, suffer
ing and practical defeat even of the
victors. and the world wide moral
slump which followed the war, the
'hurchcs are awaking to the urgent
need of doing everything possible to
prevent future wars.
The churches have adopted as
their goal in eventually warless
world to be achieved step by step.
TO carry out this plan practically
every communion is conducting u
campaign of education through spc-
cial commissions or committees.
Tens of thousands of congregations
are being asked to appoint commit
tees on world peace.
; In line with this work the admin
istrative committee Of the federal
/ council "f churches is sending to of
ficials of its constituent bodies and

cations for earnest consideration

study conference. 1t characters

spOnsibility of the churches in rcla-

Wesleyan's launchings with fierce tackles and Hardman, at left end, just got real mad and had to be called down by Captain O'Brien for inviting everybody in the Wesleyan stands out for scrap.
 It was a regular. stereotyped football game until the beginning of the second half, with Wesleyan re-entering the fray at the top of to 0 score. Then everybody got mad. First Tetley. Wesleyan's whirling dervish, got mad and said many words, the pith of which drifted to the stands and made the fair rooters color rapidly. Then Even got mad and began making wonderful tackles that brought murmurs of admiration from both sides. Then Hardman made a con- plete job of 1t and showed the others what getting mad really meant.
 A curious part of the game made itself evident from a glance at the events leading up to the final score. Despite the fact that all the gains and first downs were made on line plunges, all the touchdowns came as results of forward passes being tossed. The third of the scores was made by a line plunge after Cap- tain Steele had made a beautiful catch of Tetley's toss. The second was sent to Osborn who crossed the goal line standing up and the first was a beautiful catch of Tetley's throw to Osborn who managed to slip over the last white line for a six point tally.
 And the referee must not be ig- nored. Just who he was and where he came from nobody seemed to know but 1t was mentioned that his name was Harding. A worse brand of refereeing on any Connec- ticut field has not been evidenced in the history of the game and the official was subjected to a constant roar from both sides of the field. He and the Trinity freshmen pro- vlded the amusement while the two teams fought on the field.

WESLEYAN BURIES
 TRINITY IN GAME
Score Not Indicative Of Battle
 Wagd in Gridiron
(Speclal to the Herald.l

Hartford, Nov. 1 - Wesleyan 21; Trinity 0. The figures stood for all to see when the man who had been pointed out as the referee blew the final whistle Saturday afternoon at the Hartford field.
 It was another one of those games in which the score was no indication of the respective merits of the two teams. It is given every clash in which the two teams fought and fought and finished fighting. Trinity surely did the necessary fighting for the moral solace that is given a hard dying team. The players fought form the beginning of the second half until the Wesle- van students poured over the grid iron and indulged In the Hallo- we'en game of tearing up the goal posts" after the final whistle. They fought while Wesleyan's pet back, Tetley, ripped holes between right tackle and right end. They fought while Osborn piled headlong through left guard and center. They fought while Steele grabbed a for ward pass out of the ether and romped across the line for the third touchdown of the day. They fought when Coach Hill sent out the Wesleyan second team to hold the battered and weary Trinity squad from those enticing goal posts. The Blue and Gold may have been on the short end of the SCOT ing sheet but let 1t be said that they fought.
 Wesleyan surprised onlookers with a totally different brand of football than they employed against Amherst the week before. The extended order attack had been discarded In favor of a per fectly timed line offensive that sent Tetley and Osborn over the Blue and Gold line for many first downs. Harper at fullback played a good interference game but was content with that. Bittenbender, the vet eran quarterback, led his team against the Hartford line and was content with that. And the Wesle- van stands roared their pleasure at seeing Tetley and Osborn hurtle through the struggling Trinity team for three hard earned touchdowns.
 Burr for Trinity. deserves much credit for his defensive game. The diminutive halfback seemed to be everywhere the brunt of attack led and he was at the bottom of each heap with two stubby arms gripped around the legs of the particular Red and Black player who had carried the ball. Even the 172 pound guard with large "12" labelling him for the stands to sec and applaud, stopped many of

 We have heard George Mulligan quoted as saying that there would be no game between the teams un- less he was interviewed and we have been under the impression all along that Mulligan had been seen. If he hasn't been asked about @ game, then he naturally hasn't com- mitted himself definitely on the mat ter.
 Turning to roller-polo, the situa- ton stands today with respect to New Britain entering team in the league, the same as it has been, meaning that New Britain would have a team if a hall could be se- cured in which the game could be played. Ed. Daley is working on this matter and will probably know within few days if he can get a hall.
 A Philadelphia sports writer in a communication to the Bridgeport Waterbury Herald yesterday, lauded Barnikow and criticized the Hart ford Blues for showing preference to college men in the ranks.
 The writer in question classes Rarnikow as the best football player in Connecticut and we heartily agree with him. We have said all along that Barnikow, without a string of college names behind his own cogno- men, was better than any college man playing professional football.
 The Philadelphia scribe says that Barnikow was literally frozen out of the picture in Hartford. Time after time, the names of college stars would be placed in big black type on the program and Barney was placed with the rest of the team in the smaller lines. Yet, in every game, the Meriden iceman started every game and did great work.
 It Is significant that the manage ment of the New York Yankees team which features Red" Grange and Eddie Tryon, has made numer- ous inquiries about Barnikow, who he is and how be can play football. His work in that game brought him notice from all the newspaper men who attended and it was rightly said that he was on par with Tryon and away ahead of Grange in playing football with the New Britain team.
 New Britain appreciates Barni- kow and that is all the more reason why the fans here would like to see the team get going again. The fans here like him and back him to the limit. Truly, Rarrikow Is the most popular football player in the state of Connecticut.
