...defense. The Packer "front four," led by All-Pro End Willie Davis, is one of the strongest in history-although the Raiders boast some fearsome pass rushers of their own, notably Tackle Tom Keating, a 247-pounder who runs 40 yds. in 5.3 sec. in his football gear. Therein lies a certain danger. Confident of this rush, Oakland's cocky cornerbacks have developed the habit of playing opposing pass receivers extremely tight to cut off the short pass, assuming that there won't be a long one. It is a tactic that could backfire against Oakland, considering...
Clark himself admits that "the cornering is not yet what I'd like it to be," and says that if the engine is tuned too high, "you get wheelspin even at 6,000 r.p.m. in top gear." Still, shrugs Jim, who has never had a serious shunt, "I don't see any special danger in the car-insofar as danger...
...with an initial $170,000 stake. But technology was B.B.C.'s real dowry. The firm built a pioneering standard-gauge electric locomotive in 1899, rolled a long way with the expansion of European railroads, and soon began turning out early designs in circuit breakers, turbines and other heavy gear. And while its labs now work on cryogenics, lasers and other new technologies, B.B.C. continues to improve the old ones. A recent B.B.C. breakthrough in rotor-blade design will permit its American Electric turbines to use low-pressure, nuclear-fired steam and turn at a slow 1,800 r.p.m. while...
...conventional prop planes. In demonstrating how it could do the job, Lockheed's Cheyenne rolled down the runway at 50 m.p.h., stopped, reversed direction, then did a series of intricate ground maneuvers before lifting itself 10 ft. aloft and hovering in that position. Extending and retracting its landing gear, the craft climbed to 30 ft. and, in helicopter fashion, backed up in the air. Test Pilot Don Segner then gave the plane's single turbine engine the throttle, and the 55-ft.-long craft raced above the applauding gallery at speeds approaching its maximum of 250 m.p.h...
...powerhouse was back in operation at Watson Rink Saturday night, grinding up Brown's hockey team and spewing forth a satisfying 7-3 victory. With the win, the Harvard skaters move to the top of the Ivy League and are in high gear to battle Cornell here tonight for the number one ranking in the east...
