There is one good reason why ball-minded Harvard men will be cheering for the underdog this time, despite their stand in the last Civil War. It is not because the owner of Juicy Fruit and Spearmint was rich enough to buy a sore-armed Dizzy Dean; not because of Big Bill Lee, the speed-baller with the movie profile. Both of these have shown fight--Dean, whose fast ball has passed on and who now pitches with his heart; Lee, who took the mound on four out of five days during the pennant spurt. Rather it is because...
Last week there was an unwonted scurry and bustle on the top floors of King William's palace. The reason was not the war panic swirling over Europe, but the fact that William Lawrence Bragg, having hardly settled down at Teddington, had been appointed to a newer and loftier post: Cavendish Professor at Cambridge University.

This post, which Bragg takes over this week, is regarded- in England at least-as the world's top scientific...
...Chicago-put them to work together and then miraculously endow the new institution with the tradition and prestige of 68 years of brilliant achievement. Cambridge's Arthur Stanley Eddington, an astronomer and no Cavendish man himself, has described the laboratory as a "Mecca of physics for the Empire." Reason for Cavendish's supremacy may be simply stated. Cambridge and Oxford are the only two British universities with whopping endowments to provide the equipment necessary to attract distinguished researchers from outside.

...Western Air Express to fly each other's equipment-United Mainliners from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, W. A. E.'s ships to Chicago-as a convenience to passengers who otherwise had to be routed out of sleeper berths at unearthly hours to change planes. Reason: such a pooling would have let unfranchised United ships into American-T. W. A.-monopolized Los Angeles...
