...tackle positions Henry Adlis Seems a sure bet for the right side, but Ed Simmons is only a jump ahead of Bill Lane for the parallel job on the left. Lane has improved a great deal in the last few days and is now rated as at least second string. For guards, Franks Littlefield will be Captain Herman Gund- lach's understudy, with Bob Brookings a grasshopper's length ahead of Fran Schumann for the opposite side of the line. Gundy, incidentally, will be ready for contact work today or tomorrow...

New Dealers, frankly sailing on uncharted seas, should be happy to admit the parallel. They may not reach the Indies but they will be satisfied if they discover a new America...

Each row of three capacitators was connected in series, and the inside, middle and outside banks of 32 each were hooked up in parallel. Heavy copper straps converged like spider webs from the square to each of the two spheres in the centre. Ordinary 110-volt, 60-cycle current was stepped up by transformers to 75,000 volts, increased by rectifier tubes to 150,000. Half a minute is required to charge the capacitators...
