After a great split save by Jones at the three minute mark, the varsity forced play in the Yale zone until the puck was tied up at 4:27 for a faceoff in the circle to Jones' right. Reilly swung as the referee dropped the puck. His shot caught the goalie flat-footed in the near corner, bouncing into the left-hand side to tie the game...
...jukebox musclemen never hesitated to take direct action. Brooklyn Jukebox Operator Sidney Saul sobbed as he recalled the night two years ago when a trio of ex-convicts fed nickels into one of his own machines to drown out his screams, and thoroughly thumped him until he agreed to split his profits. The bulk of the beating was administered by a workmanlike hoodlum named Ernest "Kippy" Filocomo. Said Saul: "He began punching me in the head and face.

...left. The Christian Democrats lack 26 votes of a majority in the Chamber of Deputies, and Fanfani was kept in office only by the support of Giuseppe Saragat's Social Democrats.

The Patriarch of Constantinople has only the power of persuasion among three others of equal rank, ruling the patriarchates of Alexandria...
...half a dozen companies weighed in with stock splits and higher dividends. Rocket enginemaker Thiokol Chemical Corp., drugmaker Chas. Pfizer and Colgate-Palmolive split three for one, Lily-Tulip Cup two for one. Eastman Kodak, whose stock has nearly doubled in value, to $152.50 a share in the last two years, voted a new share of stock for each one held, then tacked another 9? per share onto its dividend. With that kind of news last week, who could blame anyone for buying a share of U.S. industry...
