JEWS IN
SPORTS
by MORR1s WIENER

America berth and Joe came to
this mythical team as a center
from the Syracuse varsity. That
was back in 1919 and since that
time many other Jewish mOleskin
warriors have thumbed rides on
the football bandwagOn riding to
gridirOn fame.
Make the test yourself. See how
many Jewish football players you
can mention and then check to
see how many of your selections
are backfield men. The chances are
ten to one that for every lineman
you will have mentioned you will
have chosen ten backfield stars.
You'll remember Barney Mintz,
Marshall Goldberg, Sid Luckman,
Benny Friedman, Dave Smukler,
and Marchmont Schwartz.
But will you have remembered
such brilliant men of the forward
wall as Fred SingtOn and Leroy
MOnSky = both tackles and cap
tains of the Alabama pOwerhOuse
and both all-American perform
>erS ? Will you have recalled to
mind Aaron Rosenberg of South
ern California and Herb Fleisch-
aker of Stanford, King Kong
Klein and Babe Scheuer of N.Y.U.,
haplanOff of Ohio State and Patti
of Carnegie Tech, DubOfsky of
Georgetown and Barber of Dart
mouth? Our guess is no.
The activities of Jewish back
field men from Coney Island to
the Golden Gate have thrust the
work of the front wall men far
out of the spotlight but it's our
guess that the 1910 season will
bring them into the picture in
bold relief. A quick survey of the
national picture in the opening
weeks of the current campaign re-
veals a handful of backfield men
who may develop into magnificent
performers. The same survey re-
veals half-dozen Jewish captains
on nationally known juggernauts
who hail from the front lines. To
make the set-up even more COM
plete, the tackle post, that posi-
ton of strength on anybody's ball
club, is filled by scores Of Jewish
lads. Harry Newman-tackle and
captain of the 1910 edition of the
Alabama Crimson Tide incident
ally, cousin of Leroy Monsky) is
sparkling his club along the VIC
tory lane. Plat of Penn State,
Hank Bauman. of Northwestern
ION the same team with the great
De Correvant), Herb Eschenfeld-
er of Syracuse, Eric Schlesinger
of Virginia (the club that took
Yale into camp and Chip Weiner
of Mississippi ar all tackles. They
range in height from five-feet-
nine to six-feet-three and their
average weight tops ia. This
is a far cry from the days when
coaches turned down Jewish
youngsters for height and weight
even though they capitalized in
other sports on the mental agility
and perspicacity of the same lads.
In the past three decades new
type of Jewish yOungster has ap-
peared. In 1910, the Bureau of Vi
tai Statistics listed the average
height of the Jewish male adult as
five-feet-six and the weight at $50.
Today the height for the Jewish
population stands nearer five-feet-
sight and the weight nearer lSO'
1t is just such statistics which
lead to behemOth tackles, gargan-

New Atomic Gun Puts
Every EIectron Bullet
Into lis Target
II ProjectiIes Miss
The First Time, They
Come Back for More
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Writer,

ITHACA, N. Y, May 27.-An
atomic gun which never fails to put
every bullet into the target has been
perfected at Cornell University.
The gun fires electrons as bullets
and, believe it or not, if these bull
lets miss the first time, they turn
around and come back. This pro-
cedure they keep up, back and
forth. until every last one of them
has found its mark.
They travel at speeds of about
$4,000 miles second. When, on
missing, they return to the gun,
they do not enter the muzzle but
just approach it, and then rush off
the same as if fired again. The gun
gives them their directions and fur
nishes the initial energy to enable
them to keep up their see-saw.
Targets are Gas Atoms.
" Their targets are the atoms in gas,
which are so hard to hit by elec-
irons that ordinarily only one elec-
tron out of every thousand would
4. make a hit. The others would be
: wasted.
The new atomic gun is a great
step forward in a kind of scientific
= investigation which is filled with po-
tentially important results. It was
developed by Prof. Lloyd P. Smith
of the department of physics and
his research assistant, A. Theodore
Finkelstein. The gas atoms at
which the eleetron bullets are fired
become positively charged ions
whenever they are hit. 1t has be-
come extremely important to find
method by which large numbers
of these positive ions can be pro-
duced. The Cornell development
represents the most efficient source
of these important atomic projec-
tiles yet produced.
Their practical uses are two. They
are used to disintegrate the nuclei
of atoms and to help in separating
the heavy from the light atoms
