With the score tied at 2-2, the Terriers jumped to a quick lead by tallying twice within 1:33 of the second period. Bob Cleary retaliated two minutes later by swerving in front of the defense and shooting a 20-footer past goalie Vito...
...depression of 1835-36 drove the Whitmans out to Hempstead, Long Island, and Walt took a country teaching post. The hours were hard, the pay small ($35 to $40 for a three-month term). Grown to a husky six-footer, Whitman showed no interest in girls, but he did get so chummy with the son of the farmer with whom he boarded that he was chided for it. This was the first of many close male friendships that have led later critics of Whitman to regard him as at least a crypto-homosexual...
...famed young right wing of the league-leading Montreal Canadiens, seemed half asleep most of the time. But in the first period he fed an assist to the Canadiens' Bert Olmstead (one point for Geoffrion) and in the third period he scored a goal himself, a blazing 30-footer (another point). This brought his total points this year to 35 and his goals to 21-high for the league. Boom-Boom's 21st goal meant cash to him. His base pay is about $14,000, substantial for hockey; he got a $1,000 bonus for his 20th goal...

I've decided to put you in charge of the job." Chidlaw pioneered in developing America's first jet (the P-59, with a Bell air frame and General Electric engine). He was given a year...
...president, the council unanimously elected the Stated Clerk (chief executive officer) of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., Dr. Eugene Carson Blake. Hefty six-footer Blake, 48, played guard for Princeton in 1926 and 1927, ended on the All-East football list and graduated with honors in philosophy. After a missionary teaching year at Lahore, India, he studied at Edinburgh and went to Princeton Theological Seminary. He was assistant pastor in Manhattan, held parishes in Albany, N.Y., and Pasadena, Calif., and is considered by many to be the outstanding U.S. clergyman under 50, an expert in both theology and diplomacy...
