They saw the vaunted Michigan backs-(Harmon, Kromer, Westfall and Evashevski)-trot onto the field and in less time than it takes to say Evashevski make sausage meat of a not-so-bad Yale team that had beaten Army and Columbia earlier in the season...

The Harvardmen noticed that in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a neighbor galaxy to the Milky Way, the bigger Cepheids were mostly concentrated toward the centre of the galaxy. This may mean that they were brought there by the operation of galactic gravity over a long time, or that when the stars originally were formed from the parent nebula, conditions favored the formation of big stars in the region of greatest density. In either case the Cepheid variables seem destined to shed further light on cosmic history...
