Compare rugby. For speed it is far ahead of American football. The play can sway from one end of the field to the other without interruption with breathtaking speed. It does not depend on intercepted forward passes or recovered fumbles or referees' whistles. Its agility depends upon a combination of foot, hand and head work and the changes are so rapid as to furnish intense excitement at all times. As for the quality of guts. I know you will agree that the rugby fullback, all by himself in front of his goal, who must fall on the ball...
...haired Ginger Rogers (Virginia McMath ), 23, has been dancing nimbly and singing huskily since she won a Charleston contest in Texas at 16. In vaudeville she called herself "The Original John Held Jr. Girl" although she had never met or posed for that artist. Playing on Broadway in Top Speed and Girl Crazy, she got a cinema contract because Hollywood liked the way she kept repeating "Cigaret me, big boy!" in Young Man of Manhattan. She plays expert ping-pong, likes to speak pig-Latin, dislikes exhibiting her feet. We're Not Dressing (Paramount). This picture may suggest tremendous...
...kilowatt-hours in a year, should some day be harnessed by man. Anatomy of a lightning flash: a "leader" stroke shoots from a negatively charged cloud-bottom to positively charged Earth; the main stroke traces the leader's path in the opposite direction. New photographs with a special speed camera show the leader stroke varying in length from 1.6 to 4.7 miles, in speed from 810 to 19,000 miles per second.-Dr. B. F. J. Schonland, University of Capetown...
Using methods patterned after the famous experiments of Foucault and Michelson, N. Henry Black '96, assistant professor of Physics, has been determining the speed of light by means of apparatus constructed under his direction in the Physics department. Professor Black pointed out that, in spite of its enormous size, the speed of light is known with greater accuracy than almost any other physical constant and that it is important in the study of many other types of radiation besides optics...
...lens, and onto a plane mirror which reflects it back to the rotating mirror and thence to the half-silvered glass. The opacity of this glass diverts part of the light beam into a microscope where the image of the slit may be watched closely. Because of its great speed, the rotating mirror moves an appreciable distance during the time that the light is travelling down and back the length of the corridor. It therefore causes a deflection of the image of the light slit, which may be measured accurately by means of the measured accurately by means...
