...varsity's attack, on the other hand, forced Bulldog goalie Ted Forstmann to come up with 45 saves, many of them on shots made at point-blank range. Forstmann withstood perfectly a rather hectic minute and a half when overlapping penalties in the second period left his team two men short, but undid all his good work a few moments later with a leg-slide that kicked in a Crimson shot which otherwise would probably have missed the cage...
...Crimson basketball team withstood an invasion by a vociferous rooting section, 11 cheerleaders with polkadotted panties, and four freshmen who played the final five minutes to defeat Brandeis 71-57 at the IAB last night...
...high is the morale of Polaris submariners that most of them have withstood not only the temptations of private industry (almost every Polarisman has been offered civilian work at higher-than-service pay) but also the strains on family life. After each 60-day patrol, crews will be flown home for 30 days of leave; then they will get 30 days of refresher training before they take up their underseas stations once more.

Though seemingly incredible, these figures for the Companion have withstood all attacks, and astronomers, particularly Dr. Luyten, have since found many white dwarfs even smaller and denser. The current theory is that they are stars that have burned nearly all their hydrogen, turning it by nuclear fusion into helium and heavier elements. With the hydrogen gone, the star contracts. As its mass concentrates into a smaller volume, its gravitational field increases in power, eventually growing strong enough to compress the material near the star's center into "degenerate" matter whose electrons and nuclei have been pushed close...
