...Inverness, Scotland. A member of the same family to which the inventor of the steam engine, James Watt, belonged, Watson-Watt worked on what was then called "radio location," a process of bouncing radio waves off distant objects.

...Knicks' leading scorer was only able to make one meager field goal in the entire first half. DeBusschere and Bradley, who led the Knicks with 25 and 24 points respectively, helped close the scoring gap in the second half, but Reed proved no match for the indomitable Chamberlain, who plucked rebounds like so many oranges off a tree...
