Paced by six Dartmouth runners, with handicaps ranging from five to 600 yards, Cunningham ran his race almost exactly as he planned: the quarter mile in 58.5 sec., the half mile in 2:02.5, the three-quarter mile in 3:04.2 and-pumping his piston-like legs as fast as he could-the mile...
Last week barrel-chested Glenn Cunningham, now 28, and the father of a nine-months old daughter, went to Hanover, N.

Recently at a convention of scientists in Indianapolis, Dr. Jauncey described experiments which convinced him that the rest-masses of beta rays (fast electrons) shooting out of Radium E were variable (TIME, Jan. 17). He passed his electrons through a velocity selector, then estimated their masses by their behavior in electrical and magnetic fields. Since then Dr. Jauncey has bombarded the Physical Review with numerous communications backing up his announcement, has reproduced a film...
...Bell System looks to development and research to reduce the cost of furnishing telephone service. If, however, expenses, including wages and taxes, continue to rise, telephone rates must follow, unless the increase in expenses is so gradual and within such limits that improvements in the art can be made fast enough and productive enough to create offsetting economies...

The extra contained a fairly thorough summary of the meet, including descriptions of outstanding performances and winners, and victory statements by Coach Hal Ulen and Captain Charlie Hutter...
