Experiments with animals, partially confirmed by experiments with men, showed that the time of gradual decompression with helium-oxygen mixtures can be reduced even to one-sixth of that required with ordinary air without evil effects. If so, the use of helium-air will greatly increase the margin of safety for workers in compressed atmospheres...
...class, was a member of the team two years ago, but was ineligible until recently. The team so far has shown up well, having piled up high scores against M. I. T., Springfield, and Norwich. The only setback came from the Columbia mat men, who won by the narrow margin of a single decision. This will be the biggest meet of the season with the exception of the New England intercollegiate matches, which will be held at the University on March...
...logic comes when President Angell reports that the average grades of Yale men's sons are two-tenths of one percent higher than the grades of sons of non-Yale men-Dartmouth, Princeton, or even Harvard, perhaps? It looks very much as if Yale were not confident of this margin of superiority.

...Burns '28 after winning the forty-yard dash by an ample margin, finished close behind A. H. O'Neil '28 in a fast 300. The 600-yard, run went to W. L. Taylor '28 who, without being pushed, established a new record for the track of 1m. 18 3-5s. In the 1000-yard race R. G.

Renouf '28 starred for the Crimson in the field events by winning the shot-put and the high...
...surprising degree of opposition developed; and a poll of the Senate indicated that, if Mr. Warren's nomination came up, it might be rejected by a small margin. That being the case, his friends reversed their tactics and strove to keep his nomination from being reported by the committee in order to avoid defeat on the floor. If their policy is successful, Mr. Warren's nomination will not come up until the new Senate assembles on March 4. But even then, with a larger Republican majority, it is not certain that it will be approved...
