Not a financial success particu-

Powers, successor to Spider Haines
of Denver as Sultan of Squat, is
reported to be offered profitable
vaudeville contracts.
The money is made by telescope

during the closing days of Powers

Didn't Work In Denver
On the basis of Chicago and Den
YER experiences, the two most i'm
portant factors seem to be the
height of the pole and the number
of possible patrons who have never
looked through pair of magnify
ing glasses before.
In Denver the stupendous sit of
spider Haines. only slightly shorter
than that of Powers, was a complete
financial flop.
Although he was sitting at an al
titude considerably over one mile,
his cradle was only the flagpole of
six-story building where people
could see him very plainly. There
was no incentive to purchase glasses.

Powerful field glasses are within
reach, and unusual indeed is the
fire that can get even a half way
start before Cook pounces upon it.
Telegraph keys connecting with the
Gamewell room in the city hall take
only a second to operate when
Cook catches sight of a fire, and
back to him, a moment later from
the Gamewell room, comes the sharp
pounding of a gong which Is to
say: "We've got you. We're on our
way"
"Fire!" Thrill Never Dies
Many is the exciting moment
that has come into Cooks expert
ence in that tower room and like
numbers of firemen who have been
in service for a long time Che has
served altogether for forty-one
years. says the thrill that comes
with the sight or sound of fire
never dies.
you've heard how old fire
horses always respond to the sound
of gong" he said. "It's the same
way with us firemen. Once in your
blood, the thrill of fire fighting
never gets out!"
In spite of numberless exciting
experiences with fires, Cook claims
that the first few moments after
the recent tornado struck Indian
apolis had them all beaten for
thrills, for~he was in actual danger
of his life.
The watch tower, situated at the
high point of 295 feet (the monu-
ment is only 2841a feet) is about
the best wind catcher in the city
and has a perceptible vibration of
probably several inches. Often
when strong wind is blowing,
water in a bottle on Cooks desk
moves from side to, side of the
vessel.
Descends without Warning
On the night of the tornado, five
of the imense plate glass windows
of the tower room were crashed in
'That tornado seemed to descend
without warming" relates Cook
"TheSe windows are double and the
glass is the very heaviest of plate
glass, yet in a moment they were as
egg shells.
"Great sheets of jagged glass sud-
denly seemed to be flying in every
direction. 1t was as much as my life
was worth to try to descend the steel
ladder.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. Inter
est in Rocky Mountain football
centers this season on the pos.
sibility that one of the eight east
ern slope colleges will be able
to bring back the championship
now held by the University Of
Utah.
Last year Coach Ike Armstrong
and his huskies from Salt Lake
City finished with a clean slate
and took the championship across
the continental divide. With the
loss of only two regulars from
last years squad, the "Utes" bid
fair to repeat the performance
this year.
Jack Howells, half-back and star
of the conference, the most con-
sistent ball-carrier of last season,
with an average of 1913 years per
game, will be back in uniform
Cox, who was lost to the team
last season, but was mainstay
of the 1925 squad, will be back
in uniform this year to replace
Whiting, all-conference guard.
With the addition of several good
prospects from last years fresh
man squad, Coach Armstrong has
nothing to worry him this season.
Besides winning the conference
title by annexing five conference
games, the Utahans last year, Of
the conclusion OF their regular
schedule, journeyed to Honolulu
where they succeeded in defeat
ing the strong University Of Ha-
wall team-a feat that two previ-
Gus conference champions were
unable to accomplish.
The powerful Utah Agricultural
College eleven of Logan, has de-
veloped during the past few sea-
sons into constant threat for
championship honors. With but
few losses last year and the adj
dition OF several OF last season
freshmen, the team will be in
the running agaif this season.
The third Utah team, that Of
Brigham Young University at
Provo, presents a more formidable
appearance this season than in
many past years. Although not
having figured in the champion
ship race during the last two
seasons the Mormons have upset
championship hopes Of several y
the leading contenders.
Montana State finished last year

failed to share the championship
honors with Utah because OF tine
failure to play the required five
conference games. This oversight
has been corrected this year and
the Montanans with their team
of last year virtually intact, must
be given consideration in this
years figuring.
The University of Wyoming at
Laramie, has never seriously fig
ured as championship contend
er.
The Colorado Agricultural col
lege, 1925 champions, the Uni
versity of Colorado and the Uni
versity of Denver elevens all are
expected to push the 1926 cham
pions in their dash for their sec
ond championship The Aggies and
the University of Colorado fought
it out for the title in 1925, but
during 1924, 1925 and 1926 the
University of Denver Pioneers
were failures.
With the accretion of three or
four good men from last years
freshman squad the Denver out
look this year under the capacity
Of AL Panek, stellar ground-gainer
of last season, is the best it has
been for several years. Both the
University of Colorado and the

mented materially by the eligibil-
ity of stellar performers from
last years freshmen teams. At
Boulder, Coach Myron Withan Of
the university eleven Is forecast
ing a team that will take the

tons both are facing more

in many years past. Coach VIII

RADIO college team, starting his
second year, has many OF last
