Following 1ns address Friday night
on "Soworage," Mr. Rosewater talked
to tho engineers Saturday morning
on paving. A large crowd of engineer
ing studonts listened to his Interesting
remarks and expressed themselves af
terward as being greatly gratified at
having a chance to hear him.
He followed the development of pav
ing from the old country roads of
Rome built thousands of years ago to
tho present day system of elaborate
paving of city streets and country
thoroughfares. Ho said In part: "The
old roads of Rome must have had to
withstand tremendous travel In their
time, for they are still Intact and
show that when built they wero made
over throe feet deep, as compared -with
our modem pavements of less than a
foot In thickness. Although still
standing, they can not be used on ac
count of their roughness, and as all
the roads of tho time wero built by
captlvos, they cannot compare with
modern scientific roads of today, In
spite of the fact that they used more
than eight times as much material in
their construction as we do now.
"Tho great problem an engineer
meets is how to make roads durable
and bring down tho cost of repairs to
a minimum, and to this end the most
important considerations are tho prop
or concrete base or foundation, and the
sub-drainage which tends to overcome
the action of tho olements on the pave
ment. "Too many people are prone to
Judge the qualities of a pavement by
tho outside coating or veneer, when
the real value of the pavement lies in
tho proper sub-structure, or founda
tion." Mr. Rosewater said tho only
thing about a pavement" that was per
manent was tho repair bills which
come in at a constant rate.
Ho. then, dwelt on the difficulties en-

Bakjor University basketball team
wont down to defeat boforo Nebraska
on last Saturday night by a score of
40 to 19. Tho team from Kansas
proved no match for tho 'varsity five.
I As this was Baker's first gamo on their
trip it givos them a bad start. Tho
playing of both teams was vory poor
on Saturday night. Tho 'varsity play
ers did not seem to be In their usual
form and repeatedly would fumble tho
ball at critical times.
The flrBt half seemed to bo played
mostly by tho referee as ho did excel
lent work with his whlstlo and called
twenty-flvo fouls. While somo of Mb
decisions wero a little of the "yellow"
older yet there was a great deal of
fouling by both teams. Tho result of
tho first half was 11 tu 11 In favor of
tho 'varBlty.
At tho boglnning of tho socond half
the 'varsity took a brace and showed
tho team from Kansas what basketball
really was as played by Nebraska.
Burruss made somo very pretty goals.
Tho work of Hagensick from
tho foul lino was very good as
ho netted sixteen pointB from fouls
besides throwing sevoral goals for tho
"varsity. But while tho entire team
played good ball their work was not
up to their average form of playing.
Tho work of tho men from Baker
University was good at times but their
work was not so effective as It might
havo been if they had played for tho
team instead of tho individual. Many
times they would take long shots for
the goal and fall when If they had
worked tho ball up closer to tho goal
It "Would have been more effective.
Lampo from Bakor did fine work for
his team from tho foul line.
Tho lineup was as follows:
