After its first week of daily scrimmage work, the University quintet, is much more certain than it was some time ago. Coach Wachie, announced last night that he would start H. R. Jones '26, star and captain of his Freshman team, with W. T. Smith '26, Gordon's running mate last year, at the two forward positions. J. D. Leckley '27 has been moved up to the first team and will start at center tonight. Captain Samborski will lead his team from one of the guard positions with W. A. Morrison '25 at the other...
...going through ten-minute halves every day, and this week passing and handling the ball has lost its place as the chief feature of the practice. Much attention is being given to dummy signal formations, and to intensive practice in the Harvard five-man defense. Rudofsky is the only star defense man lost to the squad, and with Captain Samborski, Morrison, J. D. Malick '27, Donald Bourne '25, F. E. Baldwin '26, and W. V.

Dr. Jeans hypothecated that our planetary system was produced by the collision or close approach of another star to the sun. Knowing the distance of the stars from each other, their speed of travel, and having an estimate of the length of life belonging-to stars and to our sun in particular, Dr. Jeans calculated...
...course, Dr. Jeans did not confine his consideration of relativity to the hypothetical existence or nonexistence of other planetary systems. His other conclusions include: 1) that the universe is slowly expanding; 2) that stars, in giving off heat and light, diminish in mass (weight), that the sun, for example, loses about four million tons of weight a second; 3). that, as a star becomes smaller, its speed increases...
