Knights Of Columbus Transform
College Stadium Into Vast

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, August 23.-Marquette
University's stadium was transformed
into q vast cathedral last night as the
forty-seventh annual Supreme Conven-
ton Of the knights Of Columbus came
to a close with q majestic Holy Name
rally. A mass Of slowly moving rain
clouds formed the canopy for the out
door altar, around which grouped more
than 800 priests in the gold and white
vestments of the church.
A harvest moon that pierced the
clouds formed the sanctuary lamp.
Twenty thousand pickering candles,
held by the Columbian delegates, con-
vention guests and Catholic laymen Of
the city, formed q scintillating altar
cloth of gold brocade.
Before the eucharist was exposed on
the altar there were addresses by Quinn
O'Brien, Chicago attorney: Rev. Fran
els Ledwig, Dallas, Tex. and Mgr.
Traudt for Archbishop Messmer Of Mil
Iaukee.
Then the men, their voices rising IN
unison, renewed their holy pledge, fol-
lowed by q few hymns, led by the Pere
Marquette Council Of Milwaukee, and
then, to the tinkling Of silver bells, the
sacramental benediction was impaired.
