were at their peak and if they
continue with the same brand OF
play this week end in Norfolk
they stand good chance Of add
ing the State Championship to
their collection.
The game started as a rout with
the Presidents running up a 14-6
first-period lead that was enlarged
to 24-10 at the half. After that
the Vikings outscored G. w. in
both the third and fourth periods,
but that early lead was too much.
No one player was responsible
for C. WIS triumph, but parti-
cularly outstanding were Tony
Daukas, who led scorers with Is
points, and Capt. Jim Gahagan
who came along with 9. The
Presidents took advantage of their
height to throw up a tight de-
fense and to control the back
boards, especially In the first
half. The Vikings were missing
their outside SnOtS at which Lney
generally are so good and before
they could solve G. WIS zone they
were too far behind.
Gahagan tossed in three field
goals and a pair of fouls as the
biggest part of G. WIS f1rst-period
margin, while Daukas led the
second-period scoring. So tight
were the President defenses that
only Lou Glickfeld and Jack
Stringer were able to score Gem
tral field goals in the first half.
Central got right back in the
ball game in the second half with
some excellent play by Jimmie
Pantos setting up the scores.
Jimmy himself was held to much
less than his usual scoring, getting
only five points. Glickf1eld was
high for the Vikings with seven.

McGill Studies Blood
Bank Problem
BY HOWARD W. eLAKEsLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

MONTREAL - Your red blood
corpuscles are like a community of
people. They are made up of indi-
viduals, ranging from newly born
to old age. While not all survive
to ripe old age, they tend to a
fairly uniform life-span of four
months. The things that affect
their life span and their work are
under study at McGill University's
department of biochemistry. The
purpose is to improve blood bank
preservation. The work is in
charge of DR.. Orville F. Denstedt,
who was one of Canada's wartime
blood-storage experts.
In health nearly one per cent OF
your red cells die each day. They
are quickly discarded and replaced
with newcomers born at the as
founding rate of about 10 billion
each hour. In cold storage, in a
blood bank, the death rate of these
cells is about one per cent per day
But the bank doesn't get rid OF
them like your body. When bank
ed blood is given by TRANSMISSION
the defunct corpuscles are quickly
thrown out, all except the iron in
their red coloring matter. Your
body takes that iron, and either
stores it in the liver, or sends ii
Immediately to the bone marrow

puscles.
How long red corpuscle lives
depends on several conditions. One

chemical processes. Although il
takes a microscope to see single

ate chemical plant. The machiner!
of this little plant is engines
Some engines enable the corpus
Gle to use sugar and other foods
other engines help it to get oxy

oxide. The preservation of the cor
puscles in blood banks is to a larg
extent a matter of keeping thes
engine systems working.
