Football experts Friday would have predicted more than a touchdown difference between Penn and Lafayette, but on Saturday, Penn was pressed for a 6-0 lead. The big Red and blue eleven obviously didn't reach expected heights, but they're still a topnotch ball team.

The simplest directional hydrophone is a rotatable bar with a receiver at each end, each receiver connected with one of the listener...
