...Hank Keohane has still not recovered from a torn shoulder, but his place will be handled by the only sophomore on the starting team, Bob Boyda. One of the best pass receivers on the squad, he did an excellent job on defense against Massachusetts. Dave Cappiello rounds out the exterior defensive line at right...

...From the moment that it was hurled from its Cape Canaveral pad by an Atlas-D, the capsule's recording system went to work. Ten microphones registered the take-off noise-120-130 decibels (plenty loud, but not unmanageable for well-protected ears).

He paints his aluminum houses with the same shiny baked enamel used on automobiles. (it lasts three or four times longer than ordinary house paints), this year will use a flat, baked Lucite finish especially developed...
