McCurdy is undecided about plans for the IC4A meet a week from Monday--he may send a team composed of both varsity and freshman runners, in view of the freshmen squad's fine performance yesterday. Placing second to a Penn sub-varsity squad composed primarily of upperclassmen, six men--Jim Hughes, Jim Keefe, Bob Rapp, Bill Muller. George Farrelly and Bob Reason--finished with times under 15:50, the first time a Yardling team has ever done that well...
...movie has no plot at all but several sub-plots, none of which ever develop into anything. There is a love interest between Motorhead Sherwood, an actor who appears to suffer from some brain malfunction, and a vacuum cleaner that isn't really a vacuum cleaner but is actually some guy dressed up like a vacuum cleaner who never talks but merely inhales.

Einstein's prediction has since been backed by indirect experimental evidence. The existence of short-lived sub-atomic particles, for example, seems to be extended when they are speeded up in atom smashers. But there has never been a satisfactory test of the prediction with a clock actually traveling through space. To conduct that test, Hafele, a physicist at Washington University in St. Louis, persuaded the U.S. Naval Observatory to lend him four extremely accurate atomic clocks, each valued at $17,000 and weighing 60 lbs. In addition, the Navy agreed to foot the bill...
