(As read at the midWinter meeting of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.)
ATLANTIC CITY, Nj, Dec. t27
Q.N.SO.-What appears to be
periodic change in distance be-
tween England and America of So
feet in lunar day may become
a scientific fact.
From a study of intercompari-
son of time signals sent out from
the Washington and Greenwich
observatories, the authors (writ-
ten with A. L. Loomis, Tuxedo
Park, N. " call attention to
progressive changes in the diff
ference of time determined from
the stars at the different OBJ
servatorieS, often amounting to
one-tenth Of a second.
Such changes in longitude per-
sist even after all known correc-
tions have been applied and the
time of transmission Of the radio
signals has been eliminated.
This leads the authors to the
hypothesis that there may be
natural stretching or shifting in
the earth'S crust within its
elastic limits, which would yield
or recover periodically under the
stress of the moons gravitational
pull.
If the hypothesis becomes sub
Stantiated through further re.
search, many questions Of impor-
tance are raised, not only con-
corning the position of stars
observed at different phases Of
the moon, but questions concern
ing the geophysical structure Of
the earth itself.

perfection of forward pass at
tack that will overcome the weight
to outplay the visitors on the line. If
Moran has fashioned an aerial offense
as potent as the one he taught Centre

SUB BACK IS HERO
Of WESTERNS WIN
Corcoran Centra's Nemesis

a Title Threat.

THAT Western along with Eastern
must be rated serious obstable
to Tech in McKinley's quest
for fifth straight public high
school foot ball championship was ap-
parent today, following the 1870 defeat
the Georgetowners handed Central yes
terday in the opening game Of the set.
Playing without Jackie Lynham, fleet,
shifty back, who is injured, Western
outplayed Central to down the latter by
the same score . last Fall, and devo-
tees Of the Red and White today were
visioning championship. Western
last gained the grid heights in 1924
when it tied Tech for the title at three
wins and no losses. The Georgetown
ers fought Mckinley to a TT tie that
season.
IT had been given out that Western
i was lamentably shy of capable re-
serve material this year, but there
can be no doubt that it has at least
one second-stringer, at least he was a
second-stringer until yesterday. who is
plenty good. He is Jimmy Corcoran,
who. substituting for Lynham at half
back, was the spearhead of his teams
attack. This boy, who is playing foot
ball for the first time this year, and
who yesterday played his first full game,
will make Lynham or any of the other
Western backs hustle to keep him out
of the lineup, if his pay yesterday is
a criterion. Turk Teehan, Red Rey-
nolds and Huck Hilleary, backs, and
Don BuScher, tackle, were others who
had notable parts in Westerns win.
Hank Gibbons, who alternated at
center and in the backfield for Central,
was the only player OF that team to
show consistently. He outkicked Hill
leary. played strong. defensive game
and got off few good passes. Frank
Kocsis, plunging back, could not ad-
vance the ball appreciably.
T ATE in the first period Western got
II its attack functioning and when
the quarter ended had the ball at
about midfeld. Continuing its attack
in the second quarter. the Red and
White soon scored, Turk Teehan crash
stubborn Central goal line defense.
Western achieved the enemy four yard
line on pass from Hilleary to Teehan
that netted 26 yards and consistent
gains by Corcoran. Reynolds place
kicked the point.
In the third quarter Central made its
only threat, when long pass from Glib
bins to Dunlap put the ball on the
Western 17-yard line. Kocsis then
stormed his way to the 10-yard stripe,
but here Central incurred a penalty
for delaying play and the drive found
cred
Westerns final touchdown came in
the fourth quarter. Teehan snagged a
pass from Gibb.ns on Central's 35-yard
line and dashed all the way to the
latter's 4-yard stripe before being halt
ed. Corcoran then plunged across.
