...inch guns, two decks and six 21-inch torpedo tubes. Before she was scrapped because of old age in 1946, World War II's Nautilus went on 14 successful patrols, was the first U.S. sub to sink a Japanese aircraft carrier (the 10,000-ton Soryu, at Midway), and landed raiders before the invasions of Tarawa, Makin and Attu...

After two plays had failed to advance the ball, the coach sent in Karl Pfaffman; Pfaffman kicked a field goal and Harvard...
