After dark on the day of the Channel skirmish, the Germans sent another pack of speedsters against a British convoy in the North Sea. Again British destroyers blew two E-boats to flotsam, but this time the Germans fought back, spitting torpedoes. One torpedo punched the frail hull of the Vortigern, a 1,090-ton oldtimer, and she went down. The British patrol sloop Guillemot, a 580-tonner which can do little better than 20 knots, spotted an E-boat lying in ambush, crept up within 50 yards before the German crew woke up. The Guillemot sent...
Winthrop House dominates the all-House Hockey team that was chosen by Intramural director Adolph Samborski '25 last night. Wing Henry Tilgham and center Bill La Croix represent the champions Puritans on the hoofers sextet. The other wing post was awarded to Tom White of Dunster, while John Hull of Eliot and Lenny Cummings of the Dudley Ramblers were selected for the defense slots. Sam Mixer of Adams was picked to tend the goalie's nets on the mythical...

He warned his colleagues that passage of the bill would mean "religious suicide for Mississippi"; that "the downfall of every nation so far has been due to two things-first, desecration of the Holy Sabbath, and second, loss of the virtue of its womanhood."

He "raced" there in his automobile to discover...
...proud: the launching meant that their subcontracting problem had been licked. Led by a former incubator manufacturer, Clyde C. Hartzell (now head of WPB's Denver contract-distribution office), a pool of eight local steel-products manufacturers and 15 smaller machine shops landed a $56,000,000 hull subcontract two months ago. They did so well on their first job that this week they landed a second. Now the pool is working on fittings and hulls for 27 ships, expects it will tax every machine shop in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico to turn them...
Characteristically, on the Sunday evening his promotion was announced, the new Primate preached in a bombed-out church in a working-class district in Hull. The bundled-up congregation shivered in blasts that came straight off the North Sea through the glassless windows. It was also characteristic of Dr. Temple-who, besides being a ranking church statesman, is one of the world's most learned theologians-that he should have published last week a popular book on Christianity and the Church in Britain's best-selling Penguin series.
