...profession has every reason to be content with its progress during the past sixty years; but it is looking forward to further development. It is expecting a separation of the professional work on the patient from the mechanical work, which can be done by a skilled mechanic on a pattern or mold. It will not long be necessary, indeed, it is not now necessary, that the professional dentist should make with his own hands bridges, plates, or other carriers of artificial teeth. The dentist of the future will make all the designs or patterns needed, just as the orthopaedic surgeon...
...increasing wind, Harvard showed marked improvement and clearly outplayed, its opponents. The first tally came as a result of a foul by one of the Andover men. Leland had a free kick from just outside the penalty line, and instead of trying a direct kick, he passed the ball forward to Fish, who scored easily. The second score came very shortly after the first, due to another foul by Andover, only this time within the penalty line, which entitled Harvard to a free penalty kick for a goal, which Leland kicked, making the final score...
Stability is of two kinds: transverse and fore and aft. The aeroplane in mid-air has two forces acting on it besides that of gravity, a tendency to turn over sideways and a tendency to pitch either backward or forward. To counteract the former, and thus gain transverse stability, the Wrights warp the ends of their planes in such a way as to apply a downward force on the elevated side. To minimize the danger of pitching forward and thus gain fore and aft stability, the horizontal rudder, rigged either in front or behind the machine, is the most effective...
...promising material for the University hockey team makes the outlook of winning the intercollegiate championship this season at least as promising as that of last year. Last season the whole defence remained intact from the team of 1907 and it was necessary to fill and four positions in the forward line. This year the opposite is true; all the forwards of the 1908 University team are back, while the three defence men have been lost by graduation. With a strong defence built up from last year's second and Freshman teams there is no reason why the University team should...
...football coaches and players to determine the means by which the danger of injuries may be minimized. Most critics assert that the serious injuries occur in mass plays; if this is true the obvious remedy is to introduce more open play by removing the restrictions which now make the forward pass such an uncertain and desperate expedient. The last game on Soldiers Field showed how seldom this play will be used as long as, it is hedged about by limitations which make it a mere last resource. Such a change would also satisfy those who want a more spectacular contest...
