...when your caretaking people considered them "a hazard to maids." You see they came into my possession this fall in virtually their present condition and have been around the University eight or ten years. I can testify that they have seen almost daily service this year for "rocking and diving," and neither a fatality or other hazard-caused casualty has resulted. This you see, is my principal amazement: if my friends and I have survived so much use of the furniture, how can maids who rarely rock or dive be the ones for whom there now exists a hazard...
...York Yankee Second Baseman Jerry Coleman, 27, veteran of 57 combat missions as a dive-bomber pilot in World War II, switched from one champion's clothes to another's: Marine Corps green. Captain Coleman's final day in baseball featured a flawless fielding performance and a hot day at bat: four hits, climaxed by a rousing triple that brought the cheering Yankee Stadium crowd to its feet. ¶ Boston Red Sox Outfielder Ted Williams, 33, also called back as a Marine captain (he was a flying instructor in World War II), bowed out in what...
...stateside officers' club one evening last week, a fighter pilot home from Korea was describing the war in the air. Using the gestures that all flyers use on the ground, he nosed over into a steep dive and pulled out sharply. Then something went wrong with the pressure valve in his G-suit, he said.

Without the G-suit, he could not have stayed in the same air with a Russian...
...score Navy Fireballs, the nation's first combination jet and reciprocating engine fighters. His sales soared to $55.5 million, and his training school taught 11,000 Air Corps cadets how to fly. But at war's end, Ryan, like other planemakers, went into a dive. He slashed his work force from 8,500 to 850; to keep them busy, he started making a streamlined casket which he called the "Grecian Urn." It just about buried Ryan; in 1947 the company lost...
Pete Dillingham, the Crimson's lone entry, flubbed only one dive in both the one and three meter events in the A.A.U. national indoor swimming championships this weekend, but that was enough to eliminate him in the preliminaries both times. Skip Browning of Texas swept both events getting 619 points in the three meters and 534.55 in the one meter to assure him top place of the Olympic prospects. Bob Kiphuth's New Haven Swim Club, composed of Yale freshmen, varsity, and alumni swimmers, won the team championship for the second year in succession...
