Much puzzled by proceedings which occurred last week in Manhattan's Hotel Chatham, small Bruce ("Jump-Bid") Culbertson and small Joyce ("Fifi") Culbertson conferred together in their bedroom. Presently, dressed in blue satin bathrobes, they rushed into the drawing room of the Culbertson apartment, amused themselves and startled a large gathering of formally dressed adults by screeching a ridiculous question: "Where's Santa Claus...
...Green got the jump by making seven baskets before the game was five minutes old, and then coasting along to lead at the half, 19 to 2. Almost immediately it looked as though Harvard were going to be completely smothered by the Dartmouth passing attack, which functioned almost to perfection against the smaller Crimson men.

Darwin and Lamarck to the contrary, evolution is uniform, centrifugal, creational. It has proceeded steadily (Darwin said a minute "jump" in a favorable direction would survive in the species). It has developed outward from within the geneplasm (Lamarck thought the germ was affected from without by the activities of the body or the environment). Variation of species is the result of an original creative pattern which was within the germ from...
