...loss, Harvard's sixth straight, brings its "Heartbreaker Count" to a total of seven losses by 13 pts. or less...
...macabre knack for guessing just how many people will be killed on the nation's highways over holiday periods. But in the past six weeks it has got two welcome surprises. For the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, the N.S.C. had predicted 625 to 725 traffic deaths; the final count was 542, down from 679 the year before. Then, over the four-day Christmas weekend, the council counted 520 deaths, v. 595 in the three-day 1972 period. It was the lowest four-day Christmas figure since...
...oxygen. To overcome this hunger, Ekblom first removed a total of 1,200 cc. (slightly more than a quart) of blood from each of four students in three separate bleedings four days apart, then kept the blood in cold storage. The bleedings temporarily reduced the subjects' red-cell count, decreasing their oxygen-carrying capacity and thus their endurance by about 30%. But their bodies soon replaced the lost blood. Then, 32 days after the initial bleeding, Ekblom took the red cells, which had been separated from the blood, and reinfused them into his subjects...
...result of the reinfusion was a marked increase in each student's redcell count-and a 25% increase in his endurance. Prior to the bleedings, Ekblom had each one run on a treadmill to determine his normal endurance; the average time from the start of the exercise to exhaustion was 5.73 min. On the day after the infusions, it rose to 7.17 min. Because the body quickly passes off excess red cells, the pickup was not permanent; within 14 days of the infusions, all students' performances returned to prebleeding levels. So far, no adverse side effects have been...
