...John H. Welsh Jr., for a study of the metabolism of acetylcholine, undertaking to extend and relate studies on acetylcholine (undertaking to extend and relate studies on acetylcholine), in the invertebrates to the so-called "higher animals...
...Only Jim Welsh of Michigan and possibly his teammate, Jack Patten, can be rated above the Crimson captain, who turned in a sizzling 2:13.8 to win the furlong in the Eastern Intercollegiates at Annapolis last Saturday. Welsh swam a 2:11.4 earlier in the season, but Powers was clocked in 2:11.2 in a practice session and with two more weeks of training might conceivably chop off a few more tenths of a second...
