...key to domination, as always, was the halfback line. John Felstiner, Tony Oberschall, and Marshall Schwarz controlled the last half of the game, breaking Dartmouth forward line plays as they formed at mid-field, and supplying their forwards with precise passes deep into Indian territory. Reserve center halfback Bill "Horse" Rapp relieved Oberschall on and off, making great use of what his teammates call "the best head on the squad...

Then its orbit can be tracked with enough precision to observe the effect of variations in the earth's gravitation. The satellite's radio signals (even without the key of the code) will be useful in studying the electrified layers in the upper atmosphere. Non-Russian scientists may even learn a little about the density of the air at orbit altitude, by clocking how fast the satellite loses energy...
