...honor of St. Patrick's Day, the countdown crewmen ticked off the checklist. At the intersection of Navaho Road and Vanguard Road, 1.800 ft. away, Walsh took his position in a faded blue Air Force communications van. With him was President Eisenhower's Naval Aide E. P. (Pete) Aurand and a handful of Vanguard men. Paul Walsh had a phone line hooked to the Washington office of his immediate superior, Dr. John P. Hagen, director of Project Vanguard. The same line was connected to telephones manned in the White House by Press Secretary James Hagerty and Presidential Aide...
...knew better than Britain's blue-eyed Pete Collins himself how much help he had in the strategy of attrition. And most of it came from the course itself-the wicked 5.2-mile grind over the taxiways and runways of Sebring's seldom used airport. One circuit on the unbanked hairpin turns and short straightaways calls for 21 gear shifts; the driver who finishes the twelve-hour test pumps his clutch at least 4,300 times. Tires get cooked on the baking concrete. Brakes take the worst beating...
...Madison Square Garden's 1958 track season ended, Manhattan College's Joe Soprano, a 21-year-old senior who had never won a big race, strained home inches in front of St. John's Pete Close to win a fast (2:10.3) 1,000-yd. run. Bates's Rudy Smith supplied another surprise with a fine 1:10.6 for the 600, and Eastern Michigan's Hayes Jones skimmed the 60-yd. high hurdles in a meet record...

...other races seem to be thoroughly in Yale's favor. Alexander and Sherman of the Elis do 2:14 in the 220-yard freestyle as against Dick Seaton's and Tom Cochran's 2:17. The 50-yard freestyle, always close, includes three Yalies who swim faster than Pete Zemo's fastest time this season. Roger Anderson has done the 100-free in the phenomenal time of 48.9 seconds. The varsity's best 100 man, Koni Ulbrich, swims it in about 53 seconds. The best the varsity can get in the backstroke is third, since the Bulldogs' best man does...
