...their answer, were talking about getting masks of their own. Plante fashioned his first shutout of the season by blanking the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-0, had allowed only five goals in five games (v. 28 in twelve pre-mask games), was a major reason for the Canadiens' long lead in the N.H.L. Said Plante: "When I first put on the mask, the boys all told me I would scare the women. They wouldn't come to see the games any more. I'll tell you something: if I went on the way I was going, pretty...
Early Monday morning, long-distance calls begin to ring Endicott 8-8511 at the University of Delaware in Newark. Down in the coaches' office in the dank cellar of the century-old athletic building, a boyish-faced man answers. On the other end of the line may be one of the most renowned coaches in college football-perhaps Northwestern's Ara Parseghian, or Louisiana State's Paul Dietzel, or Iowa's Forest Evashevski. They want advice...
Graphite, the substance in lead pencils, is a form of carbon that has long been one of the most useful minerals in the scientific laboratory and in industry. It is soft enough to be a good dry lubricant; its high heat resistance makes it a good material for crucibles and as a moderator in nuclear reactors. In the new age of rocketry, scientists have eyed it for use in rocket nozzles or in nose cones, which must resist the heat of reentry. But ordinary graphite has two faults: it is permeable to gases and is structurally so weak that...
...cure these shortcomings. Its scientists started with the knowledge that when carbon-rich gases are put in a lab furnace and decomposed by high heat, they sometimes deposit carbon in the form of a peculiarly dense graphite. At first this stuff was only a laboratory curiosity, and for a long time no one made it in quantity or thoroughly tested its properties. But after considerable experimentation, Raytheon's furnaces yielded a hard, impermeable, layered material that looks like black porcelain. Called Pyrographite, it proved to be five times as strong as ordinary graphite, keeps its strength at temperatures...
Razors, Trolleys. Radio astronomers have long tried their hands at listening for artificial signals from space, but have only recently developed the equipment necessary for the job. Receivers, once confused by electric razors, passing trolleys and their own crackling vacuum tubes, can now be built to block out all conflicting interference. Antennas are being built ever larger: Green Bank already has a 140-footer under construction, has hopes for others 300 ft. and 1,000 ft. wide...
