While the attack and midfield starting positions are still in a state of flux, Munro will probably stick with the same lineup he has used previously, led by Captain Dexter Lewis. Opening at the defense will be Jim Herscot, Roger Martin, and Fred Sharf. Mark Rhine will be in the crease again...
...United Planets Cruiser C-57-D, soaring along on its quanto-gravitetic hyperdrive, is more than a year out from Earth Base on a special mission to the planetary system of Alpha Aquilae. As it approaches the Planet Altair-4, it changes flux, reverses polarity, sits down gently as great hairy bolts of blue electricity spray out to cushion the landing.
