Columbia, Dartmouth, Navy, and Pennsylvania should finish the season in that order, according to what they've shown so far, although Navy has a team of sophomores which hasn't competed yet this year. Dartmouth may find a much higher spot in League rankings if Julian Armstrong, a sophomore who has turned in 23.5 in the 50 and 52.4 in the 100, can escape the Dartmouth equivalent of probation.

No Corsican-and no Italian-could have failed to get the point that this was a modern version of the old Norse magic of surrounding a spot with fire (in this case, navy steel) to keep out evil (Italians...

Ever since last March Mayor Wilson has tried to get the explosives out of Fort Mifflin. So touchy a spot, he has argued, is as much a menace to Philadelphia as to the airport. But the Navy Department stubbornly insisted that there and nowhere else will it keep its Delaware Bay powder. Last week the Civil Aeronautics Authority announced it would withhold approval of the field until the direction of the dangerous runway was changed. WPA withdrew the 800 workers working at the field...
