...first shot, scheduled for next month, will use a Thor IRBM as its first stage and is expected to put 1,300 lbs. in orbit. The instrument payload, said Johnson, will weigh "several hundred pounds." Later shots will use Atlas ICBMs as boosters and will put as much as five tons in orbit. Some of the satellites will carry live animals, including a "primate," and attempts will be made to bring them back alive...
...lanky, well-muscled Negro made a high, spread-eagle leap, grabbed the ball and cleared the University of Cincinnati backboard. Whirling in the air before he hit the floor, he sped downcourt, dribbled expertly past three New York University defenders, plowed in and sank a difficult lay-up shot. Moments later, with the ball in his hands once again, he started to turn for a hook shot.

...game, the opposition quickly regained the lead, this time on a shot by Mel Tomalty at 9:11. But just one minute later, sophomore Dave Crosby dug the puck out of a scramble in front of the cage and powered in past Armstrong.
