Once in a while you may see the Crimson use this pro-type pattern, with a half-back stationed inside a split, or wide, end. This is ordinarily a passing formation, as the wingback and the wide end can both break downfield and overload the secondary defenses. To make it work, though, you need a good line and a good blocking fullback to protect the passer. Grana is up to the fullback blocking; the question is whether or not the line is ready for such assignments. Yovicsin said the Crimson will probably run as well as pass off this formation...
...Master of the College's largest House said yesterday that expansion by one more House would not overload the College, and he placed the upper membership limit for the new House somewhat highe, than the figure of 400 students discussed tentatively at the Faculty meeting earlier this week...
...Weightlessness had long ceased, and the mounting overload pinned me to my seat. It kept increasing and was greater than during takeoff. The ship started to spin, and I informed the ground of this. But the spinning, which worried me, soon stopped, and the rest of the descent went normally. All the equipment had worked splendidly, and the ship was headed precisely for the selected landing area. At 10:55 the Vostok, having circled the globe, landed safely in a fallow plowed field of the collective farm, Lenin's Way, southwest of the city of Engels not far from...
...Newhall's most telling moves was to overload the Chronicle-which has only 41 cityside reporters-with 40 columnists, writing about everything from jazz (Ralph Gleason) to how to shuck out of a brassiére (Count Marco). News often gave way to such oddball features as a lavishly illustrated Page One Halloween story on five nightgowned girls terrified by a "haunted" apartment. In a further effort to woo subscribers, the Chronicle offered a two-month subscription for the price of one, and gave away a scale-model San Francisco cable car to any new four-month subscriber with...
...Piper Comanche. Just before taking off from Morocco, Pilot Conrad stuffed his navigational charts in a brown envelope, a clutch of unpaid bills in another. He handed what he believed to be the bills to a well-wishing U.S. consular official, then flew off crosswind, with a one-ton overload of fuel, into the blue yonder, westbound for Trinidad as his first landfall. Casually opening his remaining envelope, he made a discomfiting discovery: he had mistakenly left his charts behind, had a choice of burning up his excess fuel and returning to Africa or of navigating with his unpaid bills...
