Prof. W. J. Hussey, director of the
University observatory, stated yes-
terday that he did not agree with Nik-
ola Tesla, who declares that the
world can get all the 'power it will
ever need from rainfall, and that this
rainfall can be controlled by man.
Rainfall Controllable-Teslae
Tesla plans to harness the energy
of the sun through water power. He

by man. Thus the sun raises the
moisture from the earth's surface, and

NEW ALUMNI HALL
APPROACH PLANNED
Buildings -and Grounds Committee
Also to Raise Sunken Walks
Activities of the department of
buildings and grounds on the con-
struction of new sidewalks will be
limited this spring to the construc-
tion of an approach from the Alumni
Memorial hall to the Union building.
A short lead from the main walk to
the car line and a few steps to the
level of State street is the plan of the
department.
With the exception of this there will
be no additions to the present sys-
tem of sidewalks. The department,
however, will be busied with repairs
on low and sunken walks.
A short stretch of sidewalk south of
the Chemistry building and a few of
the walks in front of University hall
are those singled out by the depart-
ment as needing particular attention,

H. G. Dunphy, captain of the all
fresh football team last fall, proved
yesterday that he can wrestle as well
as chase the pigskin. In a 10 min-
ute exhibition match with. W.
Planck, who is coaching the team,
Dunphy not only kept Planck from
throwing him" but made the coach
work hard to keep from being down-
ed. Although the ex-freshman cap-
tain is comparatively new at the
wrestling game he has shown espe-
cially good form, and Planck is hop-
ing to build a strong team around
him.
In the light weight class R. P.
Fleckenstein downed R. W. Taylor
with a chancery and cross body hold
after 4 minutes and 15 seconds of stiff
opposition, including several flying
falls. The welter weights were rep-
resented by D. W. Dicken and J. T.
Morey. Dicken threw Morey in one
minute with a reverse body hold.
At 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon the
next and last preliminary match will
be staged. This will finish the first
set of eliminations as each man will
have competed once. Some time next
week the semi-finals will start, and
by the following Monday the team
itself should be selected.
