Battle in Ocean

August 18th, the Feast Of the
Assumption, holy day Of obliga-

observed to-day with numerous
devotions in the Catholic church,

In preparation for this great
feast, church law declared We'd

and abstinence. This was once the
usual procedure taken the day
previous to a holy day Of obliga-
ton in the Catholic. church, but
now only the vigils of certain feast
days are observed.
Another age old custom that Is
connected with the Feast of the
Assumption but is entirely distinct
from any church law or doctrine
is bathing in the ocean on AS
sumption day. It is believed that
bathing in the waters of the ocean
on August Is carries special bene-
fits. Eager people thronged the
shores Of Connecticut to-day desir-
Gus Of fulfilling this ancient be-
lief that good fortune and good
health and the like will attend
those who go in bathing on AS
sumption day, the holy day OBJ

Leader Prefers To
Confer With Cross
Before Date Is Set
Proposed Plans Of Session Not Laid Down Yet-Aid
to Municipalities With Serious Relief Problems
Will Then Probably Be Discussed

Governor Cross and that he can
not expect to be until the proposed
plans for a special session are laid
down to him.
Governors Plan Defeated
Governor Cross almost two
weeks ago declared that he might
condescend to call a special ses-
sion Of the legislature to take up
the question of aid to municipali-
ties with serious relief problems.
During the last regular session the
governors plan for a special sales
tax was successfully defeated in
the house Of representatives when
Minority Leader Thoms mustered
enough strength to block suspen-
sion of the rules. The bill for the
tax did not reach the houseu ntil
the closing days of the session and
the only way that it could be acted
upon before adjournment was by
a suspension of the rules. Some re-
publicans and the socialists in the
house b a cked Representative
Thoms in blocking the suspension
so the bill died.
Representative Thoms was op-
posed to. taxing the people of the
state in general on their purchases
unless stock dividends and the like
of the more well-to-do were also
taxed. This latter taxation program
was not contained in Governor
Cross proposal to raise money for
the relief Of the cities and towns.
Demands of Representative Thoms
that the additional taxea beinclud-
ed in the governors special tax
program were turned down.

tive Thoms when interviewed. Il

IL I am invited to one" he added.
Until I know what 1t is proposed
to do. at the special session I can
not say whether or not am in ia
vor of calling the house and senate

SPORT SLANTS

Clarence Stewart, sports editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette, takes up the cudgel in behalf of Rocky Mountain conference football play CTS, and Bill CKayo) Lam, of Colo rado university, in particular. In his column, Sportitorial, Stewart writes:
 Most of the big All-America se- lectors overlook the Rocky Mountain conference in making their selec- tions. They overlook other leagues, too, whose complaint is just as le- gitimate as that of the Rocky Noun tain conference.
 Dutch Clark, one of the greatest players ever produced in the Rocky Mountain conference, gained all- America recognition by The Associ- ated Press because Colorado sports writers hammered and hammered at the New York A. F. office until 1t capitulated. No other selection hon. ored Dutch, as college player-yet now that he has proved his worth in pro football, there isn't critic any where, even in the effete east, who will deny that Dutch is just as fine a football player as ever graced the campus at Yale, Harvard, Penn or Princeton. But because he attended school in the hinterland, Dutchs general recognition was delayed un- til after graduation.
 That's one reason why picking all-America teams is unfair. Too many deserving men are looked.
 Just now there is a concerted boom for Kayo Lam, Colorado's snap py little quarterback We'll cast a vote for Kayo when the ballots are taken, simply because it is one of the few ways that the attention of the nation can be focused on the Rocky Mountain conference Kayo is a swell guy and a fine football player.

Still smarting from their terrific beating by the DeMolay, Krause's big Concreters will be gunning to get back on the win wagon tonight when they take on the visiting Eagles from Douglas.

 The leading DeMolay boys will play the Bremen in the opener at 7:30 o'clock.

 He Does Everything
 Bill (Kayo) Lam is real football player-make no mistake about that The Colorado quarterback more than makes up for his lack of weight Che scales only 150 pounds soaking vet by his speed and shiftiness. He has plenty of football brains, too.
 Lam did not play football in high school because he was too small. He got his first taste of the game as a freshman at Colorado. Last season he carried the ball 110 times and gained total of 906 yards for an average of 8.2 yards per try. This year he has been the slipperiest ball carrier to show in the Rocky Noun tain conference.
 He is one of the stars Of the Colo rado track team, competing in the sprints, the quarter-mile and the broad Jump. He has held Rocky Mountain conference boxing and wrestling titles, but last winter de- cided to forego wrestling in favor of dramatics.
 How he ever manages to take part in so many sports and activities is pretty much of mystery because Lam is working his way through col lege. He directs an orchestra and that, of course, means many hours spent rehearsing. He is well fitted to fill in almost any spot in the band should the occasion arise, since he plays six instruments. And for bit Of variety he croons through a mil crophone to delight the co-eds.
