In refutation, Professor Hussey States: "I doubt that it is possible for man to controll the rainfall. Rain-_ fall performs a great duty in furnish- ing energy to crops, and success in. subverting this factor to other than agricultural purposesrwould be fol- lowed by crop disaster., "I futher believe that the total amount of energy used in controlling rainfall would far exceed the power gained. On the other hand I imagine Telsa believes much of this rainfall occurs in mountainous countries. where it may be conserved as water- power.

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, UNIVERSITY . 0.

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. Patronize our Advertisers.-Adv.
