...lived comeback in the second half, sparked by peppery Joe Bornstein and Freshman Phil Dundas, but once Burditt's fouldrawing antics began to take their toll, and three Wesleyan cagers were ousted via the personal foul route, it was no contest. The departing Feslermen, Littell, Bur Mann, and "Moose" Allison, were gents of stature, and their loss proved costly to Wesleyan under the backboard...
...George Allison Wilson, 58, Iowa, who moved up from the Governorship by beating Senator Clyde L. Herring (who had the personal blessing of lowan Henry Wallace). A rugged six-footer who likes to fish and to work in his garden, Wilson is an honest but unspectacular politico whose hat has been in one ring or another almost ever since he got out of law school...
When the first modern Allison was being manufactured for use in military planes, the minds of its makers and the Air Corps officers in charge of its development were on the turbosupercharger. This is in effect a rotary air pump, separate from the engine but driven by its exhaust gases, which furnishes sea-level pressures to the carburetion system far beyond the altitude range of the integral supercharger. An exclusively American development, it gave great altitude performance . . . in bombers and in the larger fighters. But in the smaller fighters which the Allison was to power, its incorporation in the design...
...however, a two-stage, two-speed supercharger has been developed and thoroughly tested. This is an elaboration which in effect gives the pilot a high gear for his supercharger when his airplane has climbed beyond the best limits of his low-speed blower. Allison motors with this supercharger now are being manufactured and flown, and will shortly be in quantity production. They will vastly improve the performance of Allison-powered aircraft. Today the Allison engine is already a vastly better engine than many of its critics have made it out; few, if any, other liquid-cooled power plants...
North American P-51 (Mustang)-single-engine, liquid-cooled. Newest of the Allison-powered U. S. pursuits, it has roughly the same limitations on altitude performance as other single-engine Allison craft. Improvement in the power plant and other technical changes promise a sensational improvement in altitude performance...
