Monkish Learning. Still not sure that his theory was proved, Dr. Abbot learned that Jesuit monks at an observatory in Spain had photographed, every day from 1910 to 1937, certain calcium clouds on the sun's surface.

Creighton's 42-year-old Coach Eddie Hickey has chalked up a percentage of .669 during his ten-year term, but last week, in the Chicago Stadium, Hickey's sharpshooters got their first defeat of the season from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station Bluejackets (their supersquad includes twelve onetime college stars...
