VARSITY IS BADLY
: BEATEN
PORTAGE BASKETBALL TEAM
WINS ~ A SCORE OF
56 TO 20.

| The Portage, Wisconsin, basketball
team, champions last year of the
United States, spared the varsity con
feating them by only Sc to 20. The
game was interesting as an exhibition
of what may be done with a basket
ball, but as a contest, it amounted to
but little. The university players
seemed to be suffering from stage
fright. They could not hold the ball
nor pass 1t when they had the chance,
and when the visitors graciously stood
aside to permit them to try for a
basket they were able to make only
one out of many.
The game on the whole might have
been better had the university had
more practice or had the team which
played the last end Of the second
half played throughout the game.
There were lot of other IFS" and
the biggest one was "if'' the Portage
team had been hog tied :.
The game started out with rush
Mccarthy for the varsity threw the
first basket before the centers had
finished jumping. Then the massacre
began. The Wisconsin team threw a
bewildering number Of baskets-gra-
ciously aided by Dobson of the uni
versity-and then began to rest. When
the half ended the score was 80 to s.
The second half was even worse for
a while. The visitors stepped aside
when Montana man got the ball
under the basket and permitted him
to try until he had scored. Then
Whistler and Mccarthy were put in
as forwards and the tension was
little relieved. The game. however.
ended with the score, 56 to 20.
Bishop. Whistler and Little were
the only Montana men who showed
at all.
The game was we'll worth the price
OF admission, however, for the oppor-
tunity of seeing the Portage team
play. The visitors passed the ball
up and down the hall, dribbled 1t
around. across and through, and threw
baskets at outrageous angles. They
certainly can play basketball. The
of the team said last night
that the varsity was the weakest team
In the state, but admitted that a lit
tie practice might help. He took the
horse play" as matter Of fact, but
shook his head over the varsity's
playing. How can Portage help scor-
ing" he said.
The Wisconsin team is on it's way
to the coast. whence 1t viii go south
to San Francisco. east again to st.
Louis. Memphis and other Mississippi
valley cities, south to New Orleans,
east to the coast and north to New
York state. The men are keeping in
fine condition thus far. The team
averages l73 pounds to the man, all

lition and fast, sure players. They are

Mai defects show that when We are
dreaming the brain is greater In vol

the same thing. This Increased cireu-

PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.
Mayor Is the Most Famous, and the
Tasi Comes Next.

Mayor Is the Most Famous. and the
Tasl Comes Nest.
The most famous Philippine volcano
and one Of the finest volcano cones In
the world is that Of Mayon. Its height
Is 500 feet. and the volcano is visible
at a great distance. Since lTG6 records
have been kept Of its eruptiOns. In
that year many plantations and vii
lagos were buried under a stream OF
lava which flowed down its eastern
slope. About 1900 lives were lost In
the eruption Of 1914. which buried the
country around a part OF the base Of
Mayor under the outpourings Of lava
and dust. A similar calamity in 1925
destroyed the lives of about 100 per
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were a number Of severe eruptions, In
Guiding one I'm 1867 which continued
about nine months. An eruption I'm
1897 killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property. Twenty-Five violent
eruptions of this volcano are on record.
Next to Mayor the Taal volcano Is
the most remarkable. 1t is on an is
land in the lake of Bombon. and the is
land, built up by its outpOurings. has
an area Of 900 square miles. The vol
cano is necessarily ejecting dust and
vapor from its crater. Taal as well as
Mayor has been the center of numer-
Gus destructive earthquakes, but no
very great eruption has occurred since
1864, when four villages around the
mountain were completely destroyed.

1t was In 1871 that Holland mar

WEIGHED THE ELEPHANT.
A Problem Which a Hindu Prince Was
Able to Solve

Able to Solve.
There is a story often told In India
Of Shajee, Hindu prince, who on q
certain occasion showed himself al
most as clever as Archimedes.
A high official had made a VOW that
he would distribute to the poor the
weight of bis own elephant In silver
money. But the great difficulty that
at first presented itself was the mode
of ascertaining what this weight real.
IT, was. All the learned and clever
men of the court seemed to have en-
deavored in vain to construct a ma
chine of sufficient power to weigh the
elephant.
At length Shajee came forward and
suggested a plan which was simple
and yet ingenious in the highest de-
gree. He caused the unwieldy animal
to be conducted along a stage special.
ly made for the purpose by the water
side into a fat bottomed boat. Then,
having marked on the boat the height
to which the water reached after the
elephant had weighed it down, the
latter was taken out and stones sub
stituted in sufficient quantity to hold
the boat to the same line The stones
were then taken to the scales, and
thus, to the amazement Of the court,
was ascertained the true weight of
the lephant.-Exchange

How the Empress Got Out of France

As soon as the hot headed citizens of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that

these Parisians rose In riotous mob
and made posthaste for the Tuileries.
They were armed and after royal
blood and plumber. The empress had
to fee for her life. Assisted by the
Austrian and Italian ministers, she
made hurried flight from the palace,
but found the mob ahead of her in
the garden; back again and then out
by a secret way into a side street,
where they entered carriage. A
street gamin recognized the empress
here, but the shouting of the mob was
so great that the boys cry Of warning
was not needed.
Once the carriage was stopped by
mob, but the party alighted and man
aged to escape. Finding themselves
near the residence Of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist. they took refuge
there, and the doctor took upon him.
