Aeronautics
By Associn ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Dr. W. H. Polls,
a member of the international aeronau-
tical congress, has sailed for his home
after stay of several months in this
country, during which he made a careful
study of American methods of weather
observation, with the personal assistance.
of Director Moore.
He said he had found the American sys-
tenn of weather observation far superior
to that of Germany, and he was returning
with some valuable information for adop-
tion by the German bureau.
DR.. Polls said that when he told Presi-
dent Roosevelt this, the president smil-
ingly replied: II am glad we have some-
thing in this country that a German con-
siders superior to that of his country. It
Is usually the other way. The Germans
are more scientific than we are, but we
are more practical"

test was a little rough at times much

of the first half Birdsall, center for the
sophs, and Williamson passed the sphere
to Hayes, who dropped 1t through the
ring in short order.
After drifting away from the goal for
moment it was again returned and
Hayes made another two points amid
the frenzied yelling of the 10 rooters
Shortly afterward Birdsall failed on a
free throw for Culvers foul, while Hayes
showed the sophs' score UP four points on
