...Arthur has never lost his enthusiasm for this cosmic soap bubble. But the speeds indicated by the amount of redshift, some of which now equal 25,000 miles per second, have made many astronomers doubt.

With two interchangeable teams of about equal ability playing the hardest sort of ball, the Rhode Island hoopsters, last year, ran the Crimson aggregation into the ground. Coach Wes Fesler has, however, been enabled by an abundance of material to build up a strong reserve and is planning on using two interchangeable teams himself this season...
