...Club is Jim Wolfenson, who is the wicket-keeper. The Club sorely misses Barry Eastment of Australia, the vice-captain of last year's team. This year's captain, John Frith, termed him "more than competent," both as an opening batsman and as a bowler. Lowe is filling the gap as batsman quite well, however, and Youll has stepped in as bowler...
...society." He had gone up to Oxford at the age of eighteen, at the close of World War II, a period when the University was largely dominated by returning veterans, many of them years older than he. "One had to in a sense work harder, because of the generation gap... And that I think was invaluable. One couldn't just get off a few flip epigrams and hope to make a reputation for oneself--one had to do some hard thinking...

The key man in the infield is Mike Drummey, of North Andover, a peppy little player now settled at second base. His partner in the double-play combination-and it's a good one--is Dave Morse. A former Vermont Academy athlete from Hingham, Morse will start at shortstop today...
Simple geography (see map) explained it. During the early '60s, when Russia may hold a temporary lead in numbers of intercontinental missiles, NATO's IRBMs based in England and Italy, later perhaps in Turkey, will cover enough targets in Russia to bridge the gap between less effective SAC bombers and rising numbers of U.S.-based ICBMs. Perhaps even more important, possession of missiles by NATO nations (for the time being the U.S. controls the atomic warheads) gives them a sense of participation in their own defense in the missile...
...Westinghouse researchers developed a new chemical compound that performed thermoelectrically at temperatures between 850° F. and 1,500° F., achieved an estimated 10% efficiency. Compared to the 40% efficiency of the biggest electric generators now in operation, this is not sensational. But future development may close the gap, make possible efficient direct generation of electricity from a coal fire, nuclear reactor or other heat source...
