Trial Rabbits. The Harvard experiments are a development from similar work on rabbits by Biologist Gregory Pincus at Clark University (TIME, March 12, 1934). Dr. Pincus, after fertilizing rabbits' eggs with sperm in glass, planted the resulting cells in a female rabbit's uterus and she bore normal, healthy bunnies.* Other investigators have nursed a monkey's egg, fertilized in its mother's body, to the eight-cell stage in glass. Six years ago Philadelphia's Cancer Specialist Stanley Philip Reimann, by pricking a human ovum with a glass needle, succeeded in stimulating...
High altitude fliers and factory workers also have their uses as guinea pigs. After long study of fatigue in factory and flight, Drs. Hudson Hoagland and Gregory Pincus of the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology last week reported in Science that a hormone-like substance called pregnenolone greatly increases human stamina, not only in the air but at ground level. Unlike most artificial stimulants, pregnenolone apparently has no harmful after effects...
...Hoagland & Pincus thought that fatigue might be reduced by feeding men a steroid substance to counteract their losses. They found that pregnenolone, a synthetic steroid, seemed to do the trick. They have not determined just how it works, but when 50 milligrams of pregnenolone were given per day, efficiency and stamina generally improved...
...further contribution to the Crimson cause came from Walt Chubb, Max Pincus, and Al Skinner, who ended one-two-three in the 440 in the slow time of 53.4. Other Harvard firsts came from Tom Holyoke in the broad jump and Wade Johnson, who tied for first...
Middle distances races will find Max Pincus and Ward Slingerland the ace 440 men, with Henry Mason and Dick Bryan carrying the mail in the 880. With Phillips gone, Freshman Mark Tuttle should be very much in the mile run picture, while Jim Foley is the main Mikkolaman in the two-mile...
