Stage Comeback Some fancy shooting by PeGan, Irish forward, enabled Huntington to nose out a 26-24 victory over Anderson in the final afternoon game. Anderson held a 16-8 lead at the half but Pegan began connecting from all parts of the floor to register five field goals during the last two quarters to lead his team to victory. Without PeGan's uncanny marksmanship. Huntington would have been badly defeated. With the score at 26-24, Huntington, an 1 Jess than 30 scends to | play, Oleksy, Anderson forward, intercepted a Huntington pass, dribbled half the length of the floor, only to miss a ' bunnie" that would have thrown the game into overtime. Oleksy was the outstanding star ' of the game with six field goals and two free throws for a total of 14 . points. PeC.an led Huntington with six field goals, five of them in the last halt.

Prof. J B S Hal- ! dane made the prediction following tests in which Mark E Ridge, Massachusetts aviator, proved that a man can live under atmospheric pressure equal to that encountered in the stratosphere, without artificial aid. On this side of the Atlantic, “Ted” Hanna of Cleveland and Ernest Loebell, German engineer, have developed a motor which they believe capable of lifting a craft to the stratosphere. It is a rocket motor, which they • plan to install in a rocket ship and shoot 16 miles into the stratosphere. No passengers will make the trip, , . but scientific instruments will be sent up, which will be returned to earth via parachute.
