When the final whistle blew, Harmon had scored 21 of Michigan's 27 points (he kicked three points-after-touchdown), had gained 203 of Michigan's total of 353 yards from scrimmage. At the end of the first half, Yale had made only one first down; just before the end of the third quarter, they crossed midfield for the first time; and, although they managed to sneak in an airway touchdown in the last few minutes of the game, their 27-to-7 drubbing was practically a knockout. All afternoon the husky Yales had gained only 35 yards...
Super-Galaxies & Cepheids. Astronomer Harlow Shapley of Harvard, who loves to systematize the universe, was the first man to find that stellar galaxies like the Milky Way, each containing billions of stars, were sometimes huddled in groups which he calls "super-galaxies." Last week he reported the discovery, made by astronomers at Harvard's observatory in South Africa, of two new, far-off super-galaxies, each of which is about 1,000,000 light-years in diameter (one light-year equals approximately six trillion miles). Another discovery, nearer home, concerned the Cepheid variables-a class of stars, mostly yellow...

He has made his Humanists work at their rather insubstantial faith by devoting themselves to self-improvement (through art, music, etc.) and to human improvement, through cooperation with "progressive" organizations. Hence Dr. Potter chose, from among 20-odd causes recommended to Humanists, the six rosebuds represented at last week's meeting...
...tall, lean, sad-eyed man sat at his desk last week in his summer palace at Castel Gandolfo near Rome. Before him was the text of a 13,000-word document which he had written and re-written three times in longhand. Pope Pius XII made some final corrections, sent the document off to the Vatican printers. It was his first encyclical, long delayed by the seismic events of World War II. Non-Catholics as well as Catholics waited to hear it as the keynote of the Holy Father's reign. Two days later the encyclical, entitled, from...
