...Baldwin, the two forwards, have been heralded as the best Freshman pair in several years, and they lived up to many of the nice things said about them. The former featured with ten goals from the floor, but Baldwin outshone him in all around play. He was in the thick of the play throughout, and showed a remarkable faculty for getting the ball from a scrimmage. His passing was responsible for many of Slocum's goals, but his own shooting was rather erratic...
Improved Copper. Copper bars, seven-eighths of an inch thick, and six inches long, so soft that they can be bent double like a stick of molasses candy, but so strong that they can hardly be straightened with the strength of one's hands, were exhibited. Each is a single crystal of copper, produced by an improved process.-Dr. Wheeler P. Davey, General Electric...
...Blood Thickness. On the principle that a stone falls more rapidly than a feather (through a medium) because of its greater density, a quick means of testing the thickness of blood was devised by timing its rate of descent through water. In this way, it was found that the blood may be diluted 10% in five minutes (by secretions of salt water from glands) if a person passes from a cold to a warm room. The additional liquid is provided by nature so that the blood may not become too thick through the loss of water by perspiration...
...past two weeks, Germans throughout the length and breadth of Germany have taken an absorbing interest in their newspapers. Supercilious Frauen would adjust their thick pince-nez, glance at the headlines, shudder, read something else, return to the headlines, shudder again, put down the paper, go away, come back, look at the headline once more and again shudder, then plunge into the story...
...bars, lunchrooms, paddocks, wherever sportsmen gather, you see them-frayed bravos with cauliflower cars, rakish noses, thick necks, entreating eyes. They catch your glance, they wink, edge over. It is no drink that they want, no sandwich, no news about a pretty thing in the second race. They want to impart something. For these are the fallen kings of boxing,' they who have knocked out champions and never gotten credit for it, who have been champions and are forgotten. Will one of these sidling, loquacious ones ever be a huge brown Argentine with a mane like a privet hedge...
