Tomorrow, another strong Big Red team will face the varsity, with the same problems which plagued its predecessor. Again Coach Lefty James must overcome the handicap of a forward wall bolstered by only one letterman. And again Cornell seems to have gotten off to a slow start...
...humans grow older, the innermost layer (intima) of the arteries, ordinarily a thin, smooth membrane, tends to roughen and thicken in a process that may be compared to what happens when deposits of lime accumulate inside a water pipe. This change in the arterial wall is known generally as atherosclerosis...

As the volume and surge of the blood decrease, a clot may form, often quite suddenly, around one of the rough projections that has grown on the arterial wall. The clot is a thrombus, the process of its formation is thrombosis, and if it happens in one of the coronary arteries, it is coronary thrombosis (while there are medical distinctions in their precise use, the terms "coronary occlusion" and "cardiac infarction" are generally synonymous with "coronary thrombosis...
...Ford gets caught in the snare; Rafael Campos (The Blackboard Jungle) is a good Angel. And the picture has another attraction: filmed in black and white for a screen of much less than the common contemporary width, it can be comfortably watched by people who do not have wall eyes...
