...what Herter called "war by miscalculation" - the possibility, for example, that one side might try to launch a surprise attack in a mistaken belief that the other side was preparing one. To guard against the miscalculation danger, the U.S. is working toward "safe guards against surprise attack," including "aerial and mobile ground inspection." During a time of crisis, inspection teams might prevent a nuclear war by "helping to verify that neither side was preparing a surprise attack upon the other."

...Kinney's three TD passes in the game was an end zone aerial to his regular receiver, end Ron Bonebrake. The 6:1 end is the fourth in a series of talented football players who have come to the college from Casady School in Oklahoma, Okla. Like Bonebrake and Kinney, halfbacks, Charlie Taylor and Armstrong are definite candidates for regular varsity play next year...
