After first ascertaining that the Norwegian fishermen were in port, in keeping with the Norwegian law which forbids fishing on Sundays, a fleet of some 60 Soviet boats followed a shoal of herring inside Norway's four-mile limit and let down their purse nets off Aalesund. A police cruiser sped out to chase the trespassers. When the Russian boat captains could not or would not understand, a shoal of small warships of the Norwegian navy steamed out. Two Russian boats tried to get away; a machine gun sputtered, and the boats hove to. Norwegians climbed aboard four small...
...Russians were not cowed. The rest of the Soviet fleet moved in and dipped nets into Norwegian waters. The warships sped out again, fired a few more shots across Russian bows, steamed resolutely back to port with another 10 ships, including the 7,000-ton Tambov, the Soviet fleet's mother ship.

The communiqué had the sound of a retreat from Norway's fidelity to NATO, and Communist newspapers in Europe so played it. Actually, Gerhardsen was merely repeating a pledge made to the Soviet Union in 1949, just before...
...game began inauspiciously as the Dartmouth line displayed precise passing that was too accurate for the home team to break. The Indians' two Norwegian aces, Bernt and Egil Stigum, pressed the defense continuously and Bernt scored at 5:15 of the first period on a pass from Captain Wally Pugh...
