...bullet were shot past the sun and at the same distance away from it as the light-rays, the force of gravitation of the sun would deflect it only eight-tenths of a second.

Although this reduction in the number of players would largely do away with the system of team play that has been fostered by Alfred Winsor '02, it would add much to the chances for individual brilliancy.

But when men have realized that time has upset many fighting...
