...escape into outer space, Lewis pointed out, requires an initial speed of 6.95 miles a second (25,020 m.p.h.). This requirement cannot be dodged by running the rocket motor slowly over a long period; that would only waste energy by forcing the ship to carry heavy fuel to a greater height...
...Tsien's rocket liner would be 78.9 ft. long and 8.86 ft. in diameter, with a loaded weight of 96,500 Ibs. It would have small wings and a ramjet as well as a rocket motor. Its maximum speed, 9,140 m.p.h., would carry the ship 1,200 miles on an elliptical course outside the atmosphere. As it curved down toward the earth, it would meet the air again and turn into a non-powered glider. Coasting through the air for another 1,800 miles, it would land at 150 m.p.h.-not much more than the landing speed...
Hugh Nawn, one of the juniors on the starting combination is small for a squash player, not having the long arms which make difficult returns easier. Coach Barnaby, however, has described his game as "quick, clever and artful," and believes that his speed makes up for his size. Nawn will play in the number two position...
Nice under-the-backboard work by Ed Smith and John Rockwell was the strong point of the Tufts game, but the varsity often lacked the speed necessary to play Shepard-brand fast-break ball. Its shooting from the outside was also weak. Shepard has accordingly pushed fast Jim Gabler up to the guard spot in the starting lineup. Under Shepard's system there will be three guards and two centers...

Gabler will be teamed with sophomores Gerry Murphy and Bill Hickey on the back line. Hickey set up many plays against Tufts; and played more than 30 minutes...
