Guilty Birds. Primary clues: Japanese B breaks out regularly every June in Japan and Korea, subsides in September. Peak numbers of cases go with hot, wet weather. In southern Japan, up to 95% of all tested subjects over 20 have antibodies which give them immunity: they have had an undetected, mild case, as so often happens with polio. But in cold, northern Hokkaido, fewer than 10% have antibodies. Where the people have antibodies, so have horses, cattle, goats, sheep and chickens. So Japanese farmers who have brought chickens into their homes (and Koreans who have asked the cattle in) during...

It is certainly not so strong as the Homer Smith team which edged the Crimson on an equally wet Saturday in 1953, 6-0; it couldn't touch the Dick Kazmaier eleven which slaughtered a helpless varsity...
