Catholicity Growth
 Explained d By Priest
Rev. Joseph Griffin Outlines Expansion Here as FOrty'
 Hours DevOtiOns Open at St. Margarefs

lamation, sermons were delivered in the Catholic churches throughout the diocec3 yesterday.
 Rev. Joseph Grimm at St. Mar garet's in his sermon said that with the opening or the forty hours yesterday at that church 1t was doubly fitting that special prayers be offered up at a time when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed.

He told of the growth of the Cath olic population locally and state wide. when less than one hundred years ago there was no church in the city, let alone in the state un- til today when the Catholic pop ulation and numbers of Catholics have increased to such large num- bers. Scarcely one hundred years ago, a Catholic in particular To- cality of the state, when in need of the last sacraments, had to have the services of 8 priest from New YorK, since there was TO Ieoloent priest in the state.
 Forty Hours
 Forty hours devotions opened, followed by procession of children of the parish school. Exercises will conclude tomorrow morning at the close of the 7:30 mass.

Human Relations

A better combination of social and individual enterprise for improving the masses and, at the same time, improving individual human rela- tions was urged by Rev. Dr. Ralph w. Sockman, rector of Christ Meth odist Episcopal church, New York, at the union tercentenary service at the First Congregational church last night.
 Protestant churches of the city joined in the service. which was ar- ranged by the Waterbury Council of Churches and the Waterbury Ministers association. A choir, made up of portions of the Protestant churches Of the city, under the di- rection of G. Loring Burwell, fur nished the musical program.
 John A. Coe, president of the Wa terbury Council of Churches, read to the congregation of approximate ly 800, petition of first settlers in Waterbury, asking the General As- sembly for permission to found a church in this city. It was May IA, 1890, after Waterbury was charter ed as town, that the petition was presented, MT. Coe said.
 20th Century
 Dr. Sockman spoke on the sub feet, Twentieth Century Pioneers. He compared the Puritans of New England with the modern pioneers of Christianity, telling of the hard ships and courage of the early pioneers. Similarly, he said, modern Christians must be pioneers of re- ligion. They must stand ready to help the ignorant, instructing them and giving them courage. He said that neither the individualstic nor the socialistic course should be fol- lowed, but instead. the middle course.

Would Permit Roofing.

NNE alumnus of a local school is
- responsible for the suggestion
that there Is no reason why col
1eges should attempt to control the
applause Of crowds at boxing meets
and that the sensible thing to do is
to let them yell just as much as they
wish. This suggestion might work
out all right in case where each side
was ably supported in the stands, but
hardly would be fair when a couple
of thousand students from one school
might be sitting in the stands and
not one from the opposing school.
That lopsidedness in the cheering
would not be courteous to the boxer
wearing the colors of the school not
represented by big cheering con-
tingent. However, this argument
would not hold good in meet such
as the c. U.-Maryland because both
sides would have plenty of husky en-
couragement. But even beyond this
reason is the fact that college and
university crowds at a boxing match
are expected to show somewhat
decorous attitude and not allow fight
ing instincts, or instincts for the kill,
to get the better of them and result
In outbursts that demand knockouts,
such as sometimes are heard at pro-
fessional fights.
Boxing is one of the most scientific
sports known, is one of the best forms
Of exercise, physically, mentally and
psychologically, but, like other things,
1t can be debased. This is what the
college people are trying to prevent.

Teams Evenly Matched.


IF THE basket ball game and boxing
meet turn out as seems probable
there is likely to be plenty OF
cause for partisan enthusiasm. SO
evenly matched do the teams appear
that hardly a hairs breadth sepa-
rates them, and such conditions breed
tense feelings.
Georgetown and Maryland both
have had erratic seasons in basket
ball. If one or the other happened
to be at top form and the other at
low form, one probably would win
rather easily. With both keyed up,
though, to do their best in the first
basket ball game played between them
in nearly two decades, it would seem
that both ought to rise to the occasion
and play well enough to satisfy even
the most exacting Of their own fol-
lowers.
Catholic University has been prep
ping its boxing team with this meet
as its big objective and is certain to
be at its top. Maryland has lost two
two of its stars. but its victory over
the Army is indication that it should
not be looked upon as anything less
than an even bet. With McAboy and
Nedomatsky in the lineup. Maryland
would be heavy favorite to win, but
with them out it is not anything more
than q toss-up, with two Of the best
teams in the East striving for high
honorE.
Maryland is planning to handle a
record crowd Monday night, despite
the fact that 5000 were present last
week on the occasion of all-univeTsity
night, a part of the program of
which was the Army Maryland box
ing meet. Only about 400 tickets of
the regular seating capacity of the
big building at College Park remain
unsold, but 1000 extra tickets have
been printed for chair seats that will
be placed around the ring Immediately
after the basket ball game. These
tickets, though, except for a limited
number for which standing room may
be available, will not be good for ad-
mission until after the basket ball
game Is finished.
