With a game scheduled tomorrow against the St. John's Prop outfit, who downed the Crimson in a game earlier in the season, and another with the strong Holy Cross team on Saturday, the Freshman squad will be hard pressed to continue their high average of games won this year. The pitching situation will be acute, as it is doubtful whether Tommy Bilodeau could stand up under the strain of two successive games. Dick Walsh may pitch, however...
...inert particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Neutrons were produced incognito by them and other researchers. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory first proclaimed neutrons for what they were (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliot work on radiation was a stout prop for Dr. Chadwick, and his proclamation was confirmed by the French couple who experimentally showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically dead particles could (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932). Hailed in every physical journal in the U. S. and Europe, their work foreshadowed discoveries to which their title would be clear...

What Cuba fears is that the U.S. beet sugar producers and the cane sugar...
...nightfall the new Government, consisting as yet only of Dr. de Cespedes, wanted some prop more stable than Cuban soldiers, many of whom were frankly on the loose. Ambassador Welles, constantly in telephonic touch with President Roosevelt, abruptly announced that three U. S. destroyers were steaming full speed for Cuba. With relief Provisional President de Cespedes cried, "The order of President Roosevelt sending three American naval ships to Cuba for the protection of American lives and property was issued with my full knowledge and approval. It carries no implication of intervention...
