...Only the lightest of clothing was in order at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon when the Varsity squad turned out in trunks and athletic shirts. The players took a couple of turns around the field to limber up and then were given a short drill on a defense against passes. Following this the teams lined up and went through a signal drill. A scrimmage had been on the schedule but the heat forced the squad to strip...
...noteworthy that neutrons have been recognized as coming from elements which are the lightest of their groups in the Periodic System. Beryllium is the lightest of the earth alkali group (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium). Boron is lightest of the earth metals (boron, aluminum, scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, actinium). Fluorine is lightest of the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and, newly recognized, alabamine...
...trip, for barring the way into Eastern Turkestan stretched the vast Karakoram Range of the Himalayas. North of Srinagar loomed massive mountains with scarcely a trail across them. Leader Haardt left five of his cars in Srinagar, started up the steep slopes of the Himalayas with the lightest two. Steadily they climbed, up 35° inclines, along narrow ledges, over slippery boulders. The snow was waist-deep, the cold bitter. On one trail a ledge gave way, the leading car hung suspended bridge-like over a deep gorge. Cables extricated it. Over Tragbal Pass, 11.560 feet high, the two cars...
...neon atoms through the chamber with an electric force, strong enough to blow the "bag" to pieces, ionize the atoms. Two huge electromagnets created a powerful magnetic field, which, like gravity pulling the fruit to earth, defleeted the course of the ionized atoms. Dr. Bainbridge snapped a picture. The lightest isotopes, like lemons, had traveled farthest, the medium isotopes not so far, the heavy "grapefruit" isotopes, a still shorter distance. By measuring the distances between them on the plate Dr. Bainbridge could calculate the relative weights of Ne20, Ne21, and Ne22. He thinks he can do the same for many...
...rumor that the boat had gone stale. Cornell, with baldheaded, 30-year-old Pete McManus in the waist of the shell and seven other heavy, experienced men bending to the barks of big-voiced little Coxswain Burke, had a splendid chance. Syracuse, with six veterans and the lightest crew in the race, was in the outside lane, least protected from the wind. Washington, having beaten California, seemed to be the best of the three Western crews. Wisconsin rows only in the Poughkeepsie race and this year's crew was said to be the best that had ever come from Madison...
