Saurwein's records show that ever 3,500,000 gallons of running water are heated each year for University use, and this figure will rise in the future when the Yard and Houses are filled in summer as well as winter with students and service...
Continuing their fast rise to the upper brackets of the loop's standing, the Dormitory team took Lowell's measure with a show of snappy skating and accurate shooting that has featured out-of-house play throughout the current season. Benshimol, leader of the winning drive, pulled the old hat trick and pushed three shots into the Bellboy's net, while Holcomb and Morgan finished the job of subduing the aggresive Lowell squad...
M.P.s and Britons as a whole were satisfied that Sir Stafford had presented his case well, seemingly forgot that only last month Lord Beaverbrook had loomed as the powerhouse in British politics.
