Coming from behind in the closing stages of a see-saw contest, the Crimson nine nosed out the Bowdoin Polar Bears 6 to 5 last Saturday at Soldiers Field to give Harvard as record of two wins and one less for the summer...
Bowdoin was the first to push a score across the home platter when two of the Polar Bears romped across in the top half of the second. Finnegan opened the inning by drawing a walk from Moravec. Charlie Senseney booted Towne's grounder to second and then threw wide to first, putting men on second and third. After Goldman popped up to Moravec, Vince fanned Pierce.

Captain Rickenbacker was not the first to eye the polar icecaps. Hiroshima's dust had hardly settled when English geophysicists suggested that polar icecaps might be blasted away entirely and, since the glaciers are tag-end relics of an all-but-ended ice age, the icecap would in all probability never reform. Some years ago an Australian geophysicist, Sir Edgeworth David, speculated on what would happen if the Antarctic icecap were dissolved. Sir Edgeworth concluded that the world's sea level would rise about 50 feet (others calculated as much as 100), inundating every seaport; climatic zones would...
