Only surprise man in the lineup is Groudahl in left field. Last year as a Freshman he was regular shortstop but his hitting in the cage has impressed Mitchell so that he has been shifted to bolster the weak-sticking outer garden squad...
These military preparations, so newshawks in China assume, are for a new Japanese attack upon Suiyan which must be conquered before Japanese militarists can begin to draw their projected iron ring around Russia's Outer Mongolia. Tokyo's bland explanation of Mongokuo's piled-up tanks and planes was lately voiced by a member of Japan's Foreign Office: "The Mongols are striving to preserve themselves from Communists against whom they are preparing for a war of self-defense." Overlooked by the Tokyo spokesman was the fact that the nearest Chinese Communist army was 400 miles...

Fear that the glacier might dam the two-mile-wide Delta River, block the Richardson Highway and thus shut off Fairbanks from the outer world was not lively, although "the glacier is estimated to have moved three and one half miles since October...
...Washington last week Physicist Lloyd Viel Berkner of the Carnegie Institution told what is known or surmised, in the light of most recent researches, about ''The Electrical State of the Earth's Outer Atmosphere." When radio waves of different frequencies are directed up at the ionosphere, some are bounced back to the starting point where the elapsed time is recorded while others escape into space. From this data the heights and densities of the layers can be calculated. Of the three major layers, said Dr. Berkner, the lowest (E) averages 65 miles high, the next...
...which short-wave frequencies will be best at different seasons and various stages of the sunspot cycle. Few years ago when many short-wave police radio stations were set up, the ranges were generally limited to 30 or 40 miles, since the signals escaped through the thin ionosphere into outer space. Now, with greater ion density in the upper air, messages for New York City police radio cars sometimes even carry across the Atlantic Ocean...
