Mulcahy, riding high in a fiveway tie for sixth after carding a neat 76 on his morning round, wilted under the sub-par pace of "Georgia" George Hamer, the eventual winner. Mulcahy, New England Intercollegiate titleholder, had a four round aggregate of 153-76-84-313 in the 72-hole contest...
Upon these basic rules (and others closely related), physicists built an imposing structure of knowledge. They predicted the motions of the earth, the moon, the planets. They derived a maze of useful mechanical sub-laws. They explained the behavior of gases, and discovered the nature of heat. Newton's laws did not account for everything, but the physicists felt that this was due to their own ignorance. Eventually, they were sure, all phenomena could be explained in Newton's terms...
...extensive program of basic atomic research. At the Knolls, outside Schenectady, the company will build a 300-acre research center to house its dangerous new activities. Meanwhile, armed with their 100,000,000-volt betatron and other high-voltage machines, its scientists are studying the "meson," a mysterious, sub-atomic particle which may hold the key to a revolutionary course of atomic power...
Most crying need for them is in medicine, not to cure disease (though the isotopes may do this too), but to probe basic biological processes. Radioactive carbon 14, for example, may be fed to human beings or laboratory animals. Though present only in sub-microscopic quantities, it will announce its presence to sensitive instruments. Physiologists can follow it through the body, even into individual cells...
Next day, the pair moved to Mamaroneck, N.Y., and dovetailed the second half of their match into the Goodall round-robin tourney. By the twelfth green, Burton was out. In the round-robin, he quickly became isth in a field of 15. But he got to see some sub-70 performances by U.S. golfers-with no teeing up on the fairways. The lowest: Jug McSpaden's seven-under...
