...strongly whenever it gets within range. The effect on its orbit will be greatest whenever Lunik III comes close to the moon, but this will not happen often. Eventually, Lunik may be attracted down to the moon's surface, or perhaps the moon will deflect it into a course that will hit the earth's atmosphere and bring its historic career to a fiery...
...Harvard captain Ted Metropoulos but merely fell incomplete. Thus reprieved, Benham went to the air again, heaving a pass from his own 31 to the Harvard 33. Since everyone in New York's Baker Field was expecting a pass, Crimson safety man Matt Botsford was in position to deflect the ball. Deflect it he did--right into the hands of Spraker on the 25--and the Lion halfback covered the last 25 yards without a hand laid...
...primary field is nuclear weapons effects. But two years ago, he had a sudden notion that certain characteristics of the behavior of radio waves might be the key to a simple and reliable long-range detection system. Since both the ionosphere and the surface of the earth will deflect radio signals, a transmitter can angle its beam upward and the broad waves will carom back and forth between ground and sky as they proceed to circle the earth. Each deflection sends back an echo to the home transmitter, and this "back-scattering" was the phenomenon that attracted Thaler...
...first period. The ball almost constantly remained near the Crimson goal--and twice it was a combination of blind luck and Stone's agility which prevented them from scoring. Once, a Tech attackman lined a hard shot to the left of the goal which Stone managed to deflect, and a few minutes later no one could kick in a ball which rolled around the Crimson cage for nearly a minute...

With only defenseman Bruce Smith standing in the goal Fischer fired chest high from about 18 feet, but Smith was able to deflect the disk over the cage to prevent further damage
