...words the feats of dredging, and then diving, to the bottom of the home of Yum Chac, the Rain God-a limestone sinkhole 160 feet across and 150 feet deep-where virgins and warriors, decked with jade and golden bells, accompanied by balls of copal (aromatic resin), rubber and cotton goods, pottery, engraved golden disks, weapons, tiaras, brooches, mirrors, were flung as sacrifices from the high brink (TIME, Nov. 16, SCIENCE...

Ullman probably will start, no matter whom the Red and Blue sends to the rubber, but should Captain Long, a right hander toil for Penn, Chase who bats from the port side of the plate may get in as a pinch hitter. Though Long is one of the best slabsmen in the college ranks, Kruez, stellar fullback on the U. of P. eleven, may be sent in to baffle the Crimson stickmen, as the Cambridge boys have shown in the past that portside twirling is distasteful to them...
