...idea of the men who may break into the first string inner circuit may be gleaned from the men now being used in the second infield. R. R. Durkee '29 is on the initial sack, with W. L.

Even filtering them through a water screen was unsuccessful, but Dr. Davis hit upon the idea of cooling the air in the chamber with an electric fan. This work so well that a 24-hour exposure can now be tolerated...
