...stretched the Crimson heart to its limit. The defense, magnificent throughout the year, held the Tiger squad to only one tally. Again and again, as it appeared the Tiger tide might sweep past the tiny nine points the offense had amassed, the defense came up with a play to plug up the dam. A goal-line stand, a key interception by Tommy Wynne, and a come from behind chase down tackle by Mike Georges were the highlights.

Detachable Head. To reduce the danger, the health-products division of Borg-Warner Corp. is using a heavy-duty plug with a detachable head that may be open for inspection. Borg-Warner has also introduced a low-voltage hand control for the patient's tip-up bed; even if there should be a leakage of current, the resulting shock would be only 16 volts, not enough to be harmful even to a very sick...
