...Bill Jackson may hit 50 feet this spring. Garland, who looks like somebody from Greek mythology and throws the shot put a lot farther, tossed 49 feet 6 inches in the 1942 Freshman Yale meet. The college record is 50 feet 6 3/4 inches, held by H. P. Mendel '40. Felton Garland and Jackson will all double in the discus. Elsewhere in the field events, more holdovers from the indoor season will spearhead the Crimson scoring thrust. Pete Harwood, Bill Lawrence, Owen Torrey and Tom Johnson have all proved their qualifications for the pole-vault, with Harwood up around...

Domestic breeders, in whose litters they occasionally turn up, had been experimenting with them since 1931. But progress was small because furriers considered them worth less freaks and ranchers were ignorant of Mendel's laws of heredity. Larry Moore, who understood Mendel, persuaded other ranchers that the laws could be used to breed silverblus and dollars. Last week one bundle of Moore's furs brought the auc tion's top prices, $265 a skin, netting him over...
