Either John, Scott or Jim McCandlish will probably start for the Crimson. Like the rest of the team, they've performed erratically this season. McCandlish strung together several good performances, appeared to be the "sleeper," on the Crimson mound staff, but against Penn on Saturday was wilder than a Borneo native. After being shelled in his two previous outings, Scott turned in a sparkling relief performance against the Quakers...

More rigs are converging on the area from as far off as Borneo, and shipyards from Belfast to Kiel are turning out drilling platforms to overcome a worldwide short age. All this activity is a result of the mammoth pocket of gas that was discovered in 1959 by Esso and Shell in the coastal Dutch province of Groningen near the German border. Seismic tests have since convinced oilmen that the North Sea may contain...
