With skating ability as their main asset, the Hoddermen have much to learn about stick-handling. Lacking confidence and weak at passing, they are easily stopped. No one can be sure, however, how they will react to their first active service this evening...
Like their elders, whose passions and opinions they reflected, the young men of the U. S. were bewildered by war, undecided how they should react to it. In their campus newspapers they brooded on such problems as encirclement and invasion, debated how the U. S. might be kept neutral.

Belgian-born Dr. George Calingaert (pronounced Kale-in-gert) of Ethyl Gasoline Corp. turned up with a discovery which sounded abstruse to laymen but which his colleagues hailed as "fundamental" and "revolutionary." The discovery: that certain closely related organic compounds will react with one another (i.e., form new compounds) when nudged by simple catalysts (chemical activators) at ordinary temperatures. Up to now chemists have regarded such compounds as indifferent to one another, capable at best of being shotgunned into chemical matrimony by violent stimulants, high temperatures and great pressures. These strongarm methods, even when successful, are wasteful. In the Calingaert...

For the Freshman is placed in a difficult position in not knowing how each Housemaster will react if he changes his second choice to first in his later application.

...practical application of these findings," concluded the scientists, "nothing can be said at this time. If human tumors react in the same way to the combined X-ray and distilled water treatment . . . the range of successful application of X-rays in the treatment of cancer will be materially increased. For, at present, good results cannot be obtained in many cases because the tumor is so insensitive to X-rays that the large dose required to kill it will cause too much damage in adjoining normal tissue...
