After sweeping within 4,000 km (2,500 miles) of Titan, the spacecraft will plunge through the plane of Saturn's rings, soar past the moon Tethys, and on Nov. 12 come to within 124,000 km (77,174 miles) of the planet's cloud tops.

Buckley, by contrast, directed the Crimson efficiently, feeding repeatedly to Callinan who tore through the line for big gains, and hitting halfback Tom Beatrice--who turned in his second stellar game in a row--four times for 82 yds., including a 38-yarder that set up the winning touchdown which the quarterback sneaked over from...
