United has still to invest the remaining $5,500,000 of its market fund, but prefers to wait a little longer-until Danzig pops or recovery clicks.

Like most visitors subjected to the same experience, it seemed to him that he was stationary, that the whole central well of the observatory (solidly anchored through concrete pillars to bedrock) was turning in the opposite direction...
...main thing that I must do this spring is to get the boys oriented into their positions. A lot of them will find themselves in entirely new places next fall." He plans to switch Torby Macdonald from wing to halfback. He definitely will not play Bill Coleman, of this year's second string, at guard, but will place him at center.
