While few students would consider Dr. Means or Dr. Hathaway as star sprinters for the track team, they are breaking records every morning in the German Measles ward at Stillman. The cause for the daily workouts of these medical athletes is not quite clear, but the rules are rigid...
Unfortunately, Dr. Means gives rotten performances. If any of his patients feel ill, he stops to make a personal examination and even prescribes a remedy. Thus he inevitably loses to Dr. Hathaway, who can interpret symptoms by intuition as his legs strain for the tape. The latter also knows that the best way to answer difficult questions is to disappear immediately into the main building where he can have his rubdown, free from inquisitive measle victims. It really is a tragedy that he is ineligible for Eddie Farrell's team...
Stalemated on the gargle front, Dr. Means and Dr. Hathaway have resorted to tactics in an unexpected quarter. It seems that science, logic, and philosophy have apparently not been able to determine the number of days in a week. Dr. Means thinks that from one Wednesday to another is a week but Dr. Hathaway counts to seven on his fingers and finds it is Tuesday...
...forgot to say that the Cambridge Health Department, dangerously close to ERA and CWA funds, backs up Dr. Means with the rash statement that a week contains 163 hours.

Dr. Hathaway is being persecuted and when anyone is looking he must release his patients a day later than he did last week. If you have an impressive bearing, however, they say you can get out on his old time. This discrimination is raising havoc but that is tomorrow's story...
...second installment of the Means-Hathaway War will appear in this column tomorrow morning...
