...three offensive stars of B.U. are quarterback Greg Geiger, who has been disappointing in his passing so far this year, halfback Roger Strandberg, who ran for 99 yards against Northeastern, and end Hailey...
...backfield, halfbacks Tom Floyd and Roger Strandberg do most of the work. Floyd has picked up 273 yards in just 46 carries for an average of almost 6 yards per try, while Strandberg has roughed out 247 in 54 carries for a 4.6 average...
Deep-Frozen Amplifier. Some theoretical physicists have no visible connection with practicality, but others who are just as erudite hope that "hardware" will eventually grow out of their bold thinking. Professor Malcolm W. Strandberg of M.I.T. bases his reasoning on the weird idea of temperatures below absolute zero. Such temperatures do not exist in the ordinary, tangible sense, but they help Dr. Strandberg think about phenomena strongly affected by temperature...
...these is the amplification of radio messages. If an ordinary amplifier is set for too great a gain, all it does is magnify the random noise caused by the thermal motions of atoms and electrons. At the extremely low temperature of liquid helium, thermal motions almost stop, so Dr. Strandberg figured that an amplifier that would work at such temperature might be efficient beyond dreams...
Theoretical studies told him that a speck of the proper kind of crystal, held in a magnetic field at a temperature close to absolute zero, should work as an almost noiseless amplifier. Naming the unborn device the Versitron, Dr. Strandberg predicted extraordinary powers for it. In electronic communication, the power of the transmitter might be cut to one-thousandth. The telescopes of radio astronomy might become so sensitive that astronomers would have to spend years digesting the records of a short observing period. No Versitron has been built, but Bell Telephone Laboratories, guided mainly by Dr. Strandberg's theories...
