...When Yale's Sinclair Lewis was preparing to write Arrowsmith, novel of doctors and medical researchers (TIME, March 23, 1925), Dr. Paul de Kruif (Microbe Hunters, Hunger Fighters) traveled with him, gave him his scientific information. They decided to make bacteriophage Martin Arrowsmith's research goal. A climax of the story comes when the phage is tried out against an epidemic of bubonic plague. But Yale's Professor d'Herelle was not Arrowsmith's prototype. Born in Montreal (1873), he studied and worked abroad, joined Yale in 1928, speaks with a decided French accent...

...game to show how they outplayed Michigan. What they generally mean is that they outgained Michigan. While Michigan is outgained in nearly every game she plays, she is rarely out-played. Michigan wins (when she does win) because she manages to keep her opponents clear of her own goal, keeps kicking until she manages to get possession of the ball in scoring territory and then knows what to do with...
