...shake hands. The President threw out a ball and the game was on. Mrs. Coolidge kept a box score and yelled lustily; the President, not so lusty at first, perked up as the game went to an exciting finish. He was the first man to rise in the lucky seventh inning. When the score was tied in the ninth, the President autographed a ball brought him by the Washington mascot, a blooming little boy. When the home team lost, the President went off for a week-end on the Mayflower...
...University line on the offensive kept the regulars from gaining consistently on line bucks. The first touchdown was scored early in the first quarter when Stout scooped up a fumble and made a beautiful 39-yard run to the goal line. Slagle's toe accounted for the seventh point. The second tally came in the last quarter on a neatly executed forward pass from Williams to Caldwell. Williams' drop kick for the extra point was unsuccessful. The game was featured by the sterling work of Gibson, who played defensive back on the second choice...

If both these observations are correctly reported, the comet seems to be growing brighter...
Mars is the planet whose orbit lies just outside that of the earth. Its mass is about one-ninth that of the earth. Its atmosphere has probably less than one-seventh the density of that of the earth. Because of its smaller mass, its gravity is much less and objects on its surface weigh only about one-third as much as the same objects would on the surface of the earth. It has also distinct polar caps, which increase and decrease with seasonable variations. It has also no marked clouds in its atmosphere. It has no surface elevations probably...
