...general as the line widens laterally in all formations, bucking becomes less dangerous, until we have the extreme case of the well known spreads where the running strength is negligible. As the attacking formation congests, the threat of passing becomes less dangerous. This constant struggle for the balance of power between offense and defense is one of the fascinating phases of football to its friends
...That Harvard produces a larger, more conspicuous and more constant minority of dissenters should be accepted as a contribution to the country and to the university itself." Such is the thesis of an article, "Harvard Heretics and Rebels," in the latest Harvard Advocate. The article was written by Roger N.

With reservations, he has been a lifelong Single Taxer.* He is close to the New Deal, is a constant adviser to Publisher Julius David Stern, in whose Philadelphia Record he is a stockholder and director.

...other had to carry their own frames of reference. The two would not agree as to the separation of events in either space or time. But the interval-the separation of events in four-dimensional space-time-would be the same for all observers if their relative speeds were constant...
Relativist Leigh Page, 51, of Yale, has worked out new frames of reference for two observers whose relative speeds are accelerating. Taking only the velocity of light as a constant, he has even devised mathematical formulas to serve as rigid measuring rods and regular clocks. These new frames, which Dr. Page believes will be useful for describing atomic motions, require the abandonment of a non-varying space-time interval. Whether his innovations will be worth abandoning that foundation stone is a question for the world jury of Relativity logicians...
