...Cornell University is the Wilder collection of preserved brains. From their evidence, Dr. James W. Papez, curator, last week concluded scientifically that all physical qualities, such as mass, formation, wrinkles, surface area, prove the female organ equal to the male.

He is one of that rangy type of lineman which has to a great extent replaced the slow, massive guards and centers of former days and which in a still more open...
