Friday night Wausau won a fast and
exciting game of basket ball from
Wisconsin Rapids. by the score of 16

the first basket and then Allen fol-
! lowed with four more and two free
Z,
| both teams playing cautiously and
guarding closely. But in few min
utes Wausau opened up ana ran up
their twelve points. The Rapids on
| ly got the ball on their side of the
floor twice during the first half and
their long shots went wild. Wausau
started out strong in the second half,
Allen immediately making a basket.
Coach Lean decided to put in some
subs after this and save some of the
regulars for the game the following
night, so Murchie went in for Allen
and Rick for Slocum. Just then the
| Rapids team started in to score and
came nearly swapping the home boys
when they ran up twelve points with
out Wausau scoring one. Then the
coach decided to send the regulars
back in. The regular team then kept
| the Rapids from scoring further and
in the last minute of play Riebe
scored pretty shot from the mid
die of the floor for the last basket.

and better condition of their oppon-

| On Monday afternoon and evening
Prof. r. ID. Rugg of the University of
| Illinois, gave a lecture and demon
stration on liquid air. He did many
wonderful things and told about many
more. He boiled kettle of liquid
air on a cake of ice, froze grapes
and cranberies in a dish of liquid air
and at the same time welded two
nails together in the escaping oxy-
gen just above the dish, froze car
nations till they became brittle enough
to crumble up in his hand and then
thawed them out on a cake of ice,
and froze some whisky to a solid
chunk. He also made some ice cream
by freezing the cream with liquid air.
| Experiments to show the explosive
force of liquid air were given and
Professor also told some of his expe-
riences in performing others. In one
case, he said he blew a hole in the
stage platform. Professor Rugg also
told of the use of liquid air in indus
try and also in surgery. This lecture
was under the auspices of the Wau-
gonian club and the proceeds were
put into the Waugonian scholarship
fund.
