...venture: the Discoverer Program, to send satellites into orbit and then try to recover the payload capsules after they had made several trips around the earth. The Discoverer Program's score up to last week: launchings, seven; satellites put into orbit, five; recovery attempts, four; recoveries, none...

Two Navy recovery ships patrolled the ocean below in case none of the Boxcars managed to hook the parachute.

But on the line of scrimmage, the Giants allowed only 96 yards by rushing, none by passing, on one series of downs spilled Cardinal backs for losses of nine, thirteen and six yards.
