Dick Boys, who starred on last year's Varsity, is back at center and in him, Harvard's mentor places his greatest hope. Boys is a reliable man on both the offense and defense, and is extremely accurate in his hoop shots. Dan Comfort, who has recently been shifted from forward, will assist Captain Joe Ferriter in guarding the Crimson basket. Gene Merry, a returning letterman, and Jim Grady, a sophomore, will lead the attack in the forward posts...
...sine qua non of good chemistry. Laboratory work is necessary; it must be required of students; and it must be long and hard if it is to be worth while. If you do not like a stiff field of concentration like chemistry, I suggest you roll you hoop in Fogg Art Museum rather than in Mallinckrodt. L. A. DeBlois...
...Luis Perez of San Pedro. Some U.S. newsreaders would have been more impressed if they had not just scanned Dr. Palmer Findley's The Story of Childbirth, published last fortnight.* Therein appears a picture of the medieval Italian, Dorothea, her monstrous abdomen supported by a neck-swung hoop, who gave birth to nine babies in her first pregnancy, eleven in her second.

Dance Director Busby Berkeley's most decorative notion was a "shadow waltz" with a chorus in triple-decked hoop skirts carrying phosphorescent violins. The stage presently darkens so that the violins appear to float about under their own power, finally waltz themselves into the outline of an immense bull fiddle. Good shot: Guy Kibbee's alarm when he looks in a mirror and detects a resemblance between...
...Migraine Feels. The brain feels as though a hammer were pounding on the skull, or as though a drill were grinding into the bone. Or an iron hoop seems to tighten around the head. Or the bones of the skull seem about to burst apart like the staves of an overfilled cask. Usually the sickening pain stays to one side of the head. ("Migraine" comes from Latin hemicrania, "half-head.") With many victims the pain shifts around, may even travel down to the neck, shoulders, arms. The skin, particularly the scalp, may be unusually sensitive. Touch, sound, sight...
