That there is vegetation on Mars is a fairly plausible assumption. The reddish hue of the planet used to be ascribed to foliage of that color. A more favored explanation nowadays is chemical absorption of oxygen in the soil-that is, oxidation or "rusting" of the Martian terrain. But the dark patches on the planet's surface grow heavier and more distinct in winter, change from blue-green in summer to chocolate brown in winter. These changes strongly suggest vegetation. The potent chemical compound called chlorophyll is present in all the green plants of Earth, but spectroscopic analysis...

...promising but comparatively untried charges in this, the high point of the indoor schedule, are primed to give the lads from Ithaca a run for their money. For in what promises to be the closest meet of the series, Dartmouth is a dark horse of a not very dangerous hue, and Yale is not the team it was last year...
