...With earth satellites already relegated to the category of "accomplished," Army and Air Force are racing to be first to try the next logical step into space: a shot at the moon. By later summer the Army will fire from Cape Canaveral a Jupiter-C or hopped-up Jupiter that Army Spaceman Wernher von Braun believes will hit the moon. Less optimistic Army missileers expect their missile will either graze the moon-and message back valuable readings on gases around it-or make a lunar orbit.

Bellingham's supermarketmen have been taking it longer than most because their city's lumber and fishing industries slipped early.

After a Brown attackman batted an errant rebound past MacKinnon at 7:27, Nick Lamont scooped up a screen shot by Charlie Devens and scored. Devens, who took the place of Karl Bjork on the first midfield, played a fine game for a man who started the season on the fourth midfield...
