What effects do cold or hot
drinks have upon the stomach, and
on the process of digestion?
In the older ph~ysiologies it used
to be said that the stomach quickly
reduced both hot and cold drinks
to it's own temperature. This did
not seem very reasonable-there
being no real thermodynamic
mechanism in the stomach to
change the temperature of its con-
tents any faster than if they were
outside the body and the re-
searches of Drs. Hepburn, Eber-
hardt and their associates put the
matter on a much more under
standing basis.
The temperature Of the digestive
tract rises the further down one
goes. The stomach is one degree
warmer than the mouth, the large
intestine two degrees warmer than
the stomach.
Ice water or ice cream causes
a marked lowering of stomach
temperature. The recovery time is
over half an hour. Ice water with
a meal delays the emptying time
of the stomach from is to 80 min
utes. When a cold beverage leaks
out of the stomach into the mites.
tine, it lowers the intestinal tenn
perature and movements. This
may explain some digestive dis
turbances in individuals who have
a rapid emptying rate of the stom-
ach and who partake copiously OF
cold beverages.
Hot coffee raises the stomach
temperature.
But hot water bags or electric
pads on the outside of the abdo-
men, even if left on an hour, do
rot raise the temperature of the
inside of the stomach or intestines
at all.

As Pearce Points
To Weaknesses
Vikings, Fovorites Last
Two Years, Now Strong
Only Numerically
By GEORGE HUBER.

Coach Hardy Pearce of the Gen.
trail High School football team at
last has achieved the consideration
he's desired for several years. He's
the underdog.
Last year and the year before,
Centrars teams were preseason
favorites to take the interhigh grid
iron crown. They turned the trick
in 1888 and missed by the skin of
their teeth last year, a single play
probably making all the difference
between the championship and an
also-ran spot.
Both times the Vikings were made
testationS. They didn't stand a
chance. he would say; they probably
wouldn't win more than half their
games. 1t was the old psychology
at work. Too much confidence
gained from reading too many
flowery notices in the paper can do
sad things to even the best ball
team. Let the boys know they are
the underdogs and they will be in
there fighting all the harder.
+, This Time It's True.
This year Central really is the
underdog. 1t must take the western
division crown even before it can
get into the city playoffs and on
paper 1t would seem that Western
has the edge over the Vikings. AS

der way this week Centrals squad
of rs outnumbered decisively the

Ahern at Western had more ex-
perienced letter men, seven to be
exact. Pearce has only four and one
Of them is a doubtful starter.
Benny Steiner, smart quarterback
and sparkplug of the Central outfit
for two years, is missing. The only
returning letter men are Harry Mar
tin, halfback; Jack Samperton and
Sam Di Blasi, ends and Steve
Adams, tackle. Adams hasn't re-
ported for practice and even If he
does come out he may not play be-
cause of an injured knee.

the rs candidates for his outfit only
one Is certain of making the team.
He Is Harry Martin who also is an
outstanding basket ball and base
ball player and probably the best
all-round athlete in the public high
schools today. He can play any
thing on anybody's team. Otherwise
the jobs are wide open.
Hardy Needs Everything.
Hail." said Pearce on learning
that coach Ahern at Western was
looking for a passer, so he needs a
passer. Listen. I need a passer, a
kicker, a runner, blocker and a
whole new line. I need a whole new
ball team"
He seemed sunk in gloom for a
moment, then frightened as he
added parting remark. Say" he
called almost with glee, remember
I'm the underdog this year!"
