...heart, and affect the heat-regulating mechanisms in the brain as well. Besides damaging the heart and brain, excessive heat can also cause irreversible harm to the liver and kidneys. Unless bathers get out of the hot tub and replace the lost fluid, they will feel tired. Sometimes they faint. In extreme cases they will lapse into a coma...

With "Brownie" retiring the Bruin batters in 1-2-3 fashion for the better part of the game (he faced only fifteen batters in a five inning stretch), Harvard overcame an early two-run Brown edge to lead, 4-2, going into the final inning...
