...backs on the third eleven in the second line-up did some brilliant work, which made the practice the most interesting so far this year. Dayton made some long runs, chiefly through Moulton's ability to push Loop aside easily, as well as through the effective blocking of Cozzens and Cabot...
...Leclanche cell, such as is used in connection with house bells, Professor Trowbridge showed how the carbon pole would be the annode and the zinc pole the cathode. It would take 50 or 60 of such cells arranged in series of tandem to produce one incandescent light. If the loop of wire is broken in the middle the lamp will go out. Then if more cells are added until the number is 10, 000 a pale luminous glow will come from the lamp. One terminal of the lamp is called the annode and from this stream these invisible rays...
...captured New Madrid, the only considerable town. To pass the river and overpower the batteries which defended the one road to the island, he needed gun-boats and transports. By a wonderful feat of engineering, a canal, six miles long, but shallow, was cut across a submerged peninsular, from loop to loop of the river and the frail transports thus passed around the batteries. A gun-boat, the Carondelet, boldly ran the gauntlet of the fort at night, running so close under the banks that, before the guns could be sufficiently depressed, she was out of range...
Setting the top in motion with his hands he took a string and by throwing the top in the air, and catching it on its peg in a loop of the string be kept it continually spinning. Once the top went so high as to strike the rafters supporting the roof but it was caught nevertheless. He then walked around the hall keeping the top spinning all the time and throwing it over his head, under his legs and behind his back. The spectators were greatly pleased with the exhibition and Kishimoto received much applause...
...objection to the rule limiting the use of the wedge is the difficulty of laying down a definition which shall cover the "wedge" and "wedge plays" without leaving a loop-hole for evading the rule. The rule we should provide would combine with the present five yards and three downs rule and stipulate that in perhaps two downs or fairs, if the ball be not advanced ten yards, it must traverse a space of twenty yards across the field either in the hands of a player or not. The above rule would probably insure the more frequent interchange...
