...times. Last year the Harvard fans did not see much of this back as he suffered a spinal injury the first play of the game. John O'Leary was out last year with injuries. He has earned the nod from Coach "Tuss" McLaughry because he is a fast shifty runner who has tremendous drive and hard to tackle. Richard Harlow has already signified his respect for John McLaughry, the great defensive, quarter-back of the '38 eleven. But his sterling qualities extend beyond the ability to protect Bear territory, McLaughry specializes in line bucking. Captain Atwell is the spark-plug...
...Bruin ends, John Prodgers, 168 pounds, and Joseph Finkelstein, 187 pounds, are reputed to be fast, able blockers, but Harlow's Bob Green and Don Daughters should have no trouble is keeping the defensive balance far on Harvard's side, as far as the flanks are concerned...
...sound (at sea level, 780 m.p.h.; at 20,000 ft., 500 m.p.h.). When propeller tips reach the speed of sound, they find themselves in a sort of dead heat with the sound waves they are generating. These waves, unable to get away from a source traveling just as fast, jam up around the propeller tips in clusters sometimes referred to as "compressible burbles," creating as much of a drag as if the propeller had suddenly been transformed into a twirling dumbbell. Since sound waves travel more slowly in thin air than at normal atmospheric pressure, propellers in the substratosphere have...
...With aviation seemingly crowding the barriers of physical possibility, few aeronautical visionaries are prepared to admit the feasibility of a 900 m.p.h. airplane, 120 m.p.h. faster than the speed of sound, twice as fast as man has ever flown, nearly thrice as fast as man has traveled on land (see p. 47). But Russian-born Inventor Ivan Eremeef, Philadelphia protégé of Orchestra-man Leopold Stokowski, was last week tinkering with a model for just such a craft. Inventor Eremeef's wingless, finned, torpedo-like conception, carrying two small cannon and four hours' fuel supply, would...

Since May 1936, when C. U. published its first bulletin, it has grown fast, now claims 60,000 members, of whom 47,000 pay the full membership fee of $3 a year. (There is limited membership for $1.)
