...Whereas the first white man to set foot on American soil was a native son of Iceland, Lief Ericson, an able and fearless sailor who, ... in the year 1000 discovered the American mainland which feat constitutes the beginning of authentic American history...
...coldest cold," i.e., the nearest approach to utter lack of heat, which man has yet achieved, was attained at the University of Leyden last week. Professor W. H. Keesom, physicist chief of the cryogenic (cold-producing) laboratory there, accomplished the difficult and hazardous feat by solidifying helium gas.

He was only .82° Centigrade above Absolute Zero, the cold end of the scale which scientists use to measure temperature independently of the properties of any substance...

Coach Barry indicated last night that he might start Hebert, who held the Quantico Marines to three scattered singles, or the portsided Sims. In case the latter is called upon for mound duty, B. H. Ticknor '31 will play the center garden, but if a right hander pitches...
