Pete Fuller, son of former Massachusetts Governor Alvan T. Fuller is making a stiff fight for the B team pivot post, but at present ranks behind Gardiner. Charlie Tarbell from Belmont Hill is a good fullback, but has Saturday competition to buck in Paul Perkins, Gershon Ross, Tom Cowen, and Wayne Johnson. From Wakefield High comes their co-captain Paul Lazzaro.

...demand is far outstripping supply: engineers last week estimated that a ton of chlorine goes into making a tank, two tons in the making of a plane (in its plastics, paint & varnish, degreasing chemicals, rubber, some alloys). The new process, announced by Chemical Engineers Arthur Warren Hixson and Alvan Howard Tenney of Columbia University: sulfur, through burning and catalysis, is changed to sulfur trioxide gas which is then infiltrated through common salt. The resulting compound (sodium chlorosulfinate) is decomposed by heat to produce salt cake (sodium sulfate) and chlorine. Salt cake, of which the U.S. has imported...
