BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

American back of SMU, out of the
game with injuries, all the experts
predicted that Notre Dame would
have an easy time, but how they
were fooled. AS a matter of fact,
SMU definitely outplayed Natre
Dame in the second half, scoring
three touchdowns while Notre Dame
was picking up two, and at one
point in the second half the two
teams were tied 20 all.
While no one can take any credit
away from the great Notre Dame
team, and they certainly proved
themselves champions, even though
they were hard pressed to win, but
by the same token too much praise
cannot be given to SINUS inspired

team won by ten points, the game
was much, much closer than the

The other games in the profession

expected.

handle the elephant.
But the elephant didn't take
we'll to strangers and Mr.. Stephan
stayed on. Finally he was per-
suaded to take the Job Of zoo
superintendent. Later, as the zoo
expanded, his title became gen.
eral manager.
When he retired in 1887. to be
succeeded by his son, Joseph A.
Stephan, he was given the title
of general manager-emeritus. A
bronze plaque bearing the likeness
of the grand old man of the zoo"
was erected on a huge rock at the

Air Pressure Spray
Gives Hypodermics
Without Needle Pain

The hypospray. which uses air
pressure to do the work of the
hypodermic needle painlessiy, has
been used with good results by
Army Medical Center doctors to
immunize group of soldiers
against typhoid fever.
DR.. H. C.. Batson. chief of the
center's biologic products depart
ment, reported at the American
Public Health Association meeting
in New York yesterday on use of
the new instrument in a study on
inductees during the last year at
Camp Pickett, Va.
His findings, 1t was reported,
showed that pain with the hypo-
spray was essentially nil" that
there was little of the reaction
often seen In typhoid vaccine i'm
munization and that good immu-
nizing results were obtained.
Army officials stressed that the
studies were made only with ty-
phoid serum. and not with any
other immunizing agents. under a
study requested by the Office of
the Surgeon General.
The hypospray utilizes extreme
ly high air pressure to force solu-
tions through the skin. leaving no
trace of its entrance. The in
strument, about the size of a
small flashlight, was first demon
strated here two years ago at the
District Medical Society's scien-
tific assembly by DR.. Edward B.
