...varsity hockey team coasted into the third period of Saturday night's contest at Providence with a seemingly secure 4-0 lead over Brown.

...excess of gravitation around the North Pole, for instance, indicates an extra 200-ft. bulge of rock over an area equivalent to the Atlantic Ocean. This extra mass would attract enough sea water to raise sea level about 50 ft. above the theoretical curve of an ideally plastic earth.

...plight of a distressed lady brings out -sometimes -the gallant in men, and rarely better than in Ghana. When the pet ostrich of chic Madame Claude de Guirin-gaud, wife of France's ambassador, disappeared, who should come hurrying to the rescue? None other than Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah himself. Hearing a missing-bird bulletin over the state radio station, Nkrumah forthwith phoned the chief of police in Accra to get his head out of the sand.
