DAVIES LESTER M EMANS Director of Teacher Education and Placement WILLIS L ZORN Dean of Men FACULTY A major goal of all colleges is adequate academic training. But there is far more to a well-rounded college program than the mere learning of facts. Training for personal and social maturity and adjustment are essential. Assistance with financial and personal matters often means the difference between a student’s success or failure in college. The faculty of Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire is dedicated to giving scholarly academic training, intelligent assistance with problems, as well as cooperation and friendly personal understanding to its students. 54 LOIS ALMON Biological Science Diploma, Milwaukee Normal School: B.A., M.A., PhD., University of Wisconsin DAVID BARRY Biology B.A., Iowa State Teachers College; M.S., University of Iowa; Ph.D., University of Iowa ROBERT A.

V e SKYLINE rlWl ORIENTALE f a DEDICATION The Wiscontin State Blugolds dedicated their new gymnasium with a lopsided 91-49 win over the University of Chicago before a crowd estimated at 2.000 fan here December 6. Coach Zorn, hit team eanly outclassing the Maroons of hii alma mater, used 14 players In almost at many combinations and saw all but three break into (he scoring column. From the moment Eau Claire scored on two fast-break dashes in the first half minute of play, it was apparent that Chicago would be no match for the speedy and sharpshooting Blugolds. Coach Bill Zorn 1952 - ’53 Eau Claire picked up its second Wisconsin State College Conference victory in three nights as the Blugolds battered Whitewater State, 78-52, on January 17. At the start of the last quarter, Eau Claire's Hank Sletncr, Stan Du-Frane and Rog Hanson took charge and whipped the Blugolds ahead with a flurry of points that gave Eau Claire a 51-39 cushion. Coach Zorn began to clear the bench to prevent the game from becoming a complete rout, but the reserves caught the fever and boosted the score to its final margin. P-FRONT Am. Coach Jerry Per on.

Shooting more often and with setter accuracy than the Iowons, Eau Claire wertt ahead at 4-3. The quarter margins were 19-12, 40-29, and 68-50. with Upper Iowa never drawing closer than 11 points in the second half. Eau Claire's greater height helped control rebounds and gave the Blu-golds a big edge in shots from the floor. With a comfortable margin njost of the way, Zorn was able to substitute freely and sent 14 players into the game. DuFranc scored all but two of his points in the first three quarters, netting 11 in the third alone to spark Eau Claire in a 28 point surge. Eau Claire outscored Upper Iowa in each quarter, seven in the first, four in the second, seven in the third and two in the fourth. Corndi Torgcion. A tente moment. Blugold Bright Spoil.
