...throw in the Stadium would have earned him points in the javelin, did only 179 feet. The Crimson's other points came from a fifth place in the half-mile by Cobb; and second place in the low hurdles by Record. The Crimson's 15 3-7 points, a fraction over eight less than the number scored last year when Harvard finished third, gave a fifth place.DAVID COBB '31, who added one point to the Harvard total by placing in half-mile Saturday...
...almost insultingly slow beat for a two-mile race. Princeton kept up a fatiguing high beat for the first mile and had begun to tire when Jimmy Burke, the Cornell coxswain, began to raise his stroke. At the mile and one-half, (here was a fraction of a second when it seemed that Cornell might lose. Wilson faltered, but Burke splashed water on his face. At the finish Cornell was two lengths ahead of Yale, five ahead of Princeton. Harvard v. Navy v. Penn. Last fortnight a Harvard crew coached by Syracuse graduate Charles Whiteside beat Princeton...
Bios, a substance essential for the growth of yeast, was cracked into its parts at the University of Oregon last week. An electrical current drifting through a tank of many compartments did the splitting and neatly deposited each fraction in a separate cubicle. Since bios actuates the growth of yeast as hormones actuate the growth of animals and since bios seems closely akin to vitamins ("food hormones"), it may be that one or more of the bios fractions are common to both vitamins and hormones. That possibility has tremendous significance for biochemistry. It also has great import for Professor Roger...
Three-Decimal Time Sirs: Would you please explain the details of how Gar Wood's time was given by you to six significant figures in TIME, March 30? How was any portion of the course measured to a fraction of a millimetre over a distance of a mile and how was the position of the boat determined at two measured points to within a small fraction of a second? Also-were your figures as accurate as precise...
...first season is the fact that every record except one which the Crimson swimmers set at the beginning of the season was broken by them before the year was over. Also testifying to the advancement made is the fact that three of the Harvard records now are within a fraction of the pool marks, all of which were set in the Intercollegiates last year. The times for the 50 and 100 yard swims of 24 1-5 and 54 1-5 seconds respectively, both held by Captain-elect B.S. Wood '33, are both only 1-5 of a second slower...
