...Elis are primed to reverse the dual meet defeat which Michigan handed them early in the year by outscoring the Wolverines in the Nationals this weekend, but the Western conference titlists rate a slight edge. They figure to pile up a long string of fourths and fifths and nose Yale out after a bitter two-day struggle. Michigan was dealt a cruel blow in the loss of Jim Welsh, distance star, but Coach Matt Mann's squad has almost unbelievable balance and strength in the sprints and backstroke...
...urge which drives slight, bespectacled Lecturer Knickerbocker, with his shock of wavy, flame-red hair (balding on top), is his belief that this is very much a U. S. war. He makes no secret of his Franco-British sympathies, believes the war may last six years or longer, end in a Soviet Europe. In his first lectures he called for outright U. S. intervention. Now he no longer flatly advocates intervention in his lecture; but in the question period that follows, he generally makes his conviction amply clear. So far he has told an estimated 70,000 people his belief...
Every surgeon dreads, and watches for, post-operative shock. So precise is the body's harmony that even a slight disarrangement of tissues, a two-degree drop in temperature, and the loss of a cupful of blood may be enough to bog down heart and brain and produce a coma, prelude to death. Shock may also follow severe burns, wounds, lacerations, even blows in the solar plexus. Usually shock does not occur until several hours after injury. Standard treatment: warmth, blood transfusion, oxygen, water injections. But these measures often fail...
Long-nosed, lustrous Professor Adler wrote it in 16 days last summer, a chapter a day. (Each night he went to a movie, taking in 16 movies.) It is not a slight book (371 pages), but it is the first of Adler's writings in which he has spoken expressly to the man in the street. For people who think they know how to read, he has a clarifying question: "What things would you do by yourself if your life depended on understanding something readable which at first perusal left you somewhat in the dark?" After pondering that...
...paper, the two squads look about even, with the Crimson perhaps having a slight edge. The Elis gained a 14 to 13 margin in the Pentagonals, but that was definitely an off day for Harvard. Furthermore, Yale had tough sledding against the Columbia swordsmen, while the Peroymen disposed of them quite easily...
