...positive electrons exist, why not negative protons? Scientists searched for them for years in cosmic rays, but found only a few doubtful cases. They hoped to create them in the laboratory, but no existing cyclotron had enough power. It took the Berkeley Bevatron to create an antiproton out of energy. Like the positron, it, too, appears only paired with an ordinary proton, and destroys itself as soon as it collides with a proton...
Grievous Harm. Last week razors were out again at the entrance to a nightclub off Berkeley Square. This time the cutting scrape involved one Tommy Falco, known to be a close friend of Billy Hill, who was just leaving the club, and−once again−Jack Spot, who, according to Tommy, jumped out at him from a darkened doorway and worked him over. At week's end, fingered by Falco, Jack Spot was in jail on charges of "causing grievous bodily harm," and Scotland Yard breathed slightly easier. "If we can just get Spot sent...
...A.A.U. track and field championships at Bakersfield, Calif., last chance for U.S. athletes to qualify for the final Olympic trials in Los Angeles this week, Abilene Christian's blond blur, Bobby Morrow, paced the sprinters with a world-record-tying 0:10.2 in a 100-meter heat. (At Berkeley doctors hoped that Duke's David Sime, recuperating from a pulled groin muscle, would be able to resume his duel with Morrow at Los Angeles and try for an Olympic berth.) Pitt's lithe Negro star Arnie Sowell easily stood off Olympic Champion Mai Whitfield...
...likely to heal in time to let him first qualify in the 200 meters at a pretrial meet this week in the National A.A.U. championships at Bakersfield, Calif. Fortunately, Sime qualified in the 100-meter dash (time: a fair 0:10.6) last week in the intercollegiate championships at Berkeley, Calif, before pulling up lame...
...good reason last week to hope for a peck of gold medals at Melbourne in track and field events-the heart of the Olympics. Warming up for the Olympic tryouts, the nation's collegiate stars broke one U.S. and nine meet records (winner of the meet: U.C.L.A.) at Berkeley, while the nation's fastest and/or strongest servicemen in short pants broke one world and two American records in the interservice championships at Los Angeles. In all, athletes in the two meets beat Olympic marks in four events, tied in another...
