Godoy is a quiet man and is like
Louis in that he does not have a

serious. Even when his wife ran IL

COFFEE HIS OLD SELF
Coffee was back and the Maroon
machine in stride. From the wnis-
tie the victors stepped briskly
away to lead, l4-2, before Morris
Browns SIAC leaders became
aroused.
Daniel Earl Smith started the
rout with two brilliant shots near
the circle and Haines picked up
the tempo, never to lose it again.
MORRIS BROWN COME BACK
Cobb was simply stunning with
the prettiest offensive work of his
career-long, looping arches that
swisIled through in heartbreaking
fashion for the losers.
Gdorehouse's early speed was be
ginning to tell on them in the
final portion of the Aalf and
HaineS, breathing heavily, was
given a spell Of rest. From here
Morris Brown started.
Coach Billy Nicks looked around
and decided to give Gerald Brown
a chance and the big fellow re-
sponded nobly. Until he arrived
Lawson was the only Wolverine

gave life to the losers with 8 solid
points to aid in scoring 81 points

halftime.
DITTO IN SECOND HALF
The second canto was a repeti-
lion of the first. Morehouse sped
away like wildfire to salt away IA
points while Morris Brown could
add but 3. At this stage the Purple

Maroon on top, 40 to 26.

tect the structure from wave action
The dam is 100 feet long, 20 feet
wide on top, 10 feet high above stream
bed, and the foundations extend 40
feet below the river. The right abut-
ment is solid rock and the left abut-
ment extends into tight ground, but
the foundation presented many diff
sand and gravel much deeper than
expected. These pockets had to be ex-
cavated and pumps were running con-
stantly to keep the excavation dry
enough to work in. After the excava-
ton was completed the foundations
were filled with rolled earth equal to
that placed in the dam itself. The
soundness Of this method of construc-
ton is shown by the fact that there
are no leaks or signs of seepage in
the dam.
The outlet tunnel is about 600 feet
long and 7 feet in diameter. 1t can
discharge 900 cubic feet second. This
is equal to flow of 10000 miners
inches. A tower was built from the out
let tunnel to the top of the dam and
ends in small house holding lifting
devices for operating the gates which
control the flow of water. Both the
tunnel and the control tower are built
of reinforced concrete.
Large Drainage Area
The drainage area above the dam
contains $50 square miles. 1t extends
into the Madison national forest and
reaches an altitude of over 5000 feet
above sea level. A great part of this
watershed is open country and is COW
cred with heavy snow during the win
ter. When the snow melts in the spring
the runoff is of comparatively short
duration. Engineers designing the
structure figured that there might be
a freshet of 10000 cubic feet a second
and so designed a spillway to handle
this amount of water The spillway was
cut in solid rock just beyond the west
end of the dam and is lined with
heavy reinforced concrete.
The reservoir covers approximately
1000 acres Of land that was originally
divided between 600 acres of excellent
meadow and about 400 acres of grazing
land. 1t is about five miles long and
