...unjust to link Mr. Bingham's proposal to eliminate the minor sports with the expense involved in an extra week of pre-season training. Unlike the practice at Princeton, a player's expenses are not paid from an A.A. fund but out of the individual's pocket. The additional incidental cost of the proposed extension, since the coaches are paid by the year, would not equal the charges for later medical care of injuries caused by poor physical conditioning...

But the cold was worse than the jouncing. Finally a big black buck named Henry pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, held a match to it, dropped it on the floor, holding out his pale palms to warm them over the flames...

Weighing less than a pound, powered by a 90-volt battery which weighs some 3 lb., the set operates on a microwave (about one metre) at 300,000 kilocycles...

...transcontinental freight train. Son of a poverty-plagued Presbyterian minister, he odd-jobbed his way through Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash., washing his own clothes, living at times in a tent. Burning for a big university degree, he arrived at Columbia Law School with 6? in his pocket. Before he graduated high in his Class of 1925 he had written a legal text book for a correspondence course. In his last year he taught three courses on the side...
