...less secure astride a horse-would be more safe while grasping the pommels of a sidesaddle. These muscles, as everyone should know, are the pectineus (comblike) and the adductores magnus, longus and brevis (the great, long and short pullers-in) and connect the femur (the thigh bone, the longest in the body) to the front lower ridges of the sacrum. They adduct the thighs powerfully and are especially used in horse exercise, the saddle being grasped between the knees by their contraction. (The gracilis, the most superficial muscle of the inner aspect of the thigh, is relatively weak.) Nerves concerned...
Some time ago Congress authorized the Patent Office to turn over models of old inventions to the Smithsonian Institution and give away or destroy all models not wanted by the museum. More than 2,000 requests for old models have been made. The longest request was from Thomas A. Edison-five closely typed pages listing all his early inventions. Henry Ford made a blanket request for all mechanical engineering devices not wanted by the Government...

His longest gain from scrimmage was an end run of 13 yards, which resulted in the only touchdown, and on only one other occasion did he make as much as ten yards. In the covering of punts, great improvement was also displayed. Frequently the Tiger forwards broke through the line to throw the Maroon backs for losses, Colgate losing 48 yards in this manner, while...
