He explained his nomenclature: the quarterback is the "on back," the full the "off," the halfs the "rear" and "wing," depending on which leads the play. He thought he might win a few games. Last week's victory was the fifth straight...

...unity. The mathematical struggle is not to handle them in practical terms, nor to add further dimensions to space-time in order to account for them; it is to devise a mathematical treatment that will reveal their unity with the world of space, time, matter and energy. Schrödinger has found this in an "affine" geometry, which deals with pure concepts in their essence, not with measurement in the ordinary sense. He now claims to have "unified" gravitation with electromagnetic fields...
...Erwin Schrödinger, as his lecture title suggests, has also attempted to fit life into his equations, he has gone beyond the ambitions of any other mathematician. In that case, it is small wonder that he fascinates the imaginative Irish...
