...Walter Eckersall, Illinois' Red Grange, Minnesota's Bronko Nagurski and Herbert Joesting, Michigan's Willie Heston, Harry Kipke, Benny Friedman. But Tom Harmon can run like Grange, buck like Joesting-and pass and kick besides. Although he may not be a point-a-minute man he could almost qualify as a half-a-point-a-minute man. In the first three games of the season (in which he played a total of 124 minutes), he scored 52 points: seven touchdowns, seven points-after-touchdown and one field goal -the season's best record among...
Terrible Tommy. A hero role is nothing new to Thomas Dudley Harmon. Son of a Gary, Ind. real-estate man, he entered Michigan two years ago with the reputation of being the ablest allround high-school athlete in the U. S. At Gary's Horace Mann High, he twice was named All-State quarterback, was the country's leading interscholastic football scorer (150 points) in 1936, was captain of the basketball team, pitched three no-hit, no-run games one spring, was State champion at the 100-yd. dash (9.9 sec.) and still holds the Indiana record...
...this marvelously convenient process of regeneration in lower animals works, no one knows. One theory is that their bodies contain undifferentiated, "totipotent" cells capable of growing into any organ under some unexplained architectural guidance. Professor James Walter Wilson of Brown University hazarded the guess that higher animals, perhaps even man, may harbor these cells, but that they have become so feeble in the process of evolution that they yield to the quicker-acting, wound-healing mechanism which covers a wound site with scar tissue. If this mechanism could be halted, so as to give the totipotent cells a chance...
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...
...guess. Undoubtedly his brush points in that direction. At 31, he has won two Guggenheim fellowships and eight art prizes. Thanks to the latest, a $200 honorable mention at the Carnegie International (TIME, Oct. 30), he went by day coach to Manhattan last week, saw a one-man show of his open at the Associated American Artists' Galleries...
