...plays that piled up yardage. When he faded to pass, charging defensive linemen were suddenly choked off by the supposedly weak Oregon line. Given time to throw, he made a damaging discovery: the Buckeyes had a weak pass defense. In the second quarter, led by Crabtree's crafty signal-calling, Oregon tied the score...
...space at least two weather instruments. A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Verner E. Suomi, is fashioning metal spheres two inches in diameter that will be carried by a satellite to measure radiation from both the sun and the earth. The U.S. Army Signal Corps is preparing a special photoelectric cell to detect variations of light from the earth, thus measuring the "albedo" (reflectivity) of cloud formations that the satellite passes over...
Tired from a tough season that took them all the way through an extra-game play-off with the San Francisco Forty Niners, and lacking their first-string signal caller, Bobby Layne, out because of an earlier mauling from the Browns, the Lions had not figured on such an easy time.

And Tobin Rote, Layne's alternate, lofted perfect passes that had Detroit ahead...
...more than 5%. But Canadian oil economists projected a major increase in shipments, anticipated that in five or six years oil-rich Alberta, for example, would be pumping 400,000 bbl. of oil daily into the U.S. market. Any move to set limits on Canadian oil imports was a signal to Canada not to count too much on the U.S. to absorb her rising oil production. Moreover, the curb fell at a bad time for the new Tory government. As part of its campaign for greater economic independence from the U.S., it had been holding up approval for the export...
...have to be raised from 140 miles to 180 miles because of the decelerating drag of air particles at the lower altitude. Anticipated perigee for Vanguard: a safe 200 miles. Scientists at Washington's Carnegie Institution are still puzzling over a radio phenomenon of Sputnik I: a "ghost" signal that registered on their receivers when the artificial satellite was on the opposite side of the earth. One guess: under certain ionospheric conditions, the radio waves of Sputnik traveled back on great circle paths that somehow converged on the opposite side of the world. Suggests Carnegie's Harry...
