Fortnight ago, against Chicago, Coach Crisler's boys had chalked up a score of 85-to-0 (even with second and third string substitutes). It was the largest score recorded by a Michigan team since the canvas-jacket days of the point-a-minute monsters. Small wonder Yost wanted his old boys to see this modern machine and had selected its meeting with Yale in which to show...
...threat. Considered only fair-to-middling at the start of the season, the Buckeyes sprang the surprise of the Big Ten when they conquered touted North western three weeks ago and followed it by beating Minnesota. In downtown Columbus' Broad & High quarterbacks stopped heckling Coach Francis Schmidt even after the Bucks were defeated 23-to-14 by Ivy Leaguer Cornell last week, began to count the days until November 25 when Ohio State is scheduled to meet Michigan - with an outside chance of winning the Big Ten title, if, in the meantime, it hurdles Indiana, Chicago, Illinois...
...first two games (to Oklahoma and Ohio State), an editorial in the student newssheet, Daily Northwestern, charged that the linemen were refusing to block for their ballyhooed star, Sophomore Bill De Correvont. Angered, the Wildcats promptly beat Wisconsin 13-to-7, and last week swamped Illinois 13-to-0, even though De Correvont failed to get going...
...wrathfully decreed by the Führer after the 1935 Peace Prize was awarded to tuberculous Pacifist Carl von Ossietsky, whom the Nazis had under heel in a concentration camp. Last week Professor Domagk discreetly referred to his Government the question of what to do about his award, murmured: "Even if I don't receive the money, the honor of being named is a most agreeable surprise." A less agreeable surprise to a half-dozen other scientists who had their hopes was the Nobel committee's announcement that, on account of World War II, the other 1939 prizes...
...this marvelously convenient process of regeneration in lower animals works, no one knows. One theory is that their bodies contain undifferentiated, "totipotent" cells capable of growing into any organ under some unexplained architectural guidance. Professor James Walter Wilson of Brown University hazarded the guess that higher animals, perhaps even man, may harbor these cells, but that they have become so feeble in the process of evolution that they yield to the quicker-acting, wound-healing mechanism which covers a wound site with scar tissue. If this mechanism could be halted, so as to give the totipotent cells a chance...
