...break led by center Steve Ripley--only to be stopped by Bland, who miraculously caught a shot by Ripley from only a few feet out. The face-off which followed gave the Bulldogs' all-sophomore third line the puck in front of the Crimson cage. Bill Hildebrand and Lea Pendleton piddled with the puck on the right hand side of the crease, and eventually caused the puck to dribble off Bland's stick over to the left side, where the awaiting, unwatched Gunther poked...
When the U.S.S. General Pendleton sails from San Francisco in 1944, Raditzer is aboard. So is Charlie Stark, and the two men could hardly be more different. Charlie's family is sound, conventional, well to do.

...When the wingtip tanks unaccountably began to lose fuel, and the engine coughed in the cold, Boling began running over his ditching check list. Then he decided to stay with the plane. He dropped to 1,500 ft.; when the engine purred again, he flew confidently on. Approaching the Pendleton airport he radioed a single request: permission to land without circling because...
