Mike McKeever-fast, rock-hard and big (6 ft. 1 in., 220 lbs.)-is the tougher of U.S.C.'s famed McKeever twins (TIME, Oct. 26). Last week, studying films of the U.S.C.-California game (U.S.C. 14, Cal 7), the president and chancellor of the University of California leveled serious charges against U.S.C.'s star lineman. While Cal's Halfback Steve Bates lay spilled on his back, out of bounds, after an 11-yd. run, McKeever had piled on him. The play was over, yet "McKeever not only continued his forward momentum but changed course towards Bates...
McKeever had been aggressive before. Last year the same elbows scythed into Cal Quarterback Joe Kapp, and that time U.S.C. drew a 15-yd. penalty that set up a Cal touchdown (Cal won 14-12 and went on to the Rose Bowl).

But Clark's prize finds were waiting at Mount Carmel High School, right in Southern Cal's own home town of Los Angeles. As high-school All-Americas, Mike and Marlin McKeever got offers from some 40 colleges, including Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Says Marlin: "We picked U.S.C. because of its high scholastic rating, and because the team was down and we were offered...
Chamberlain and Segre in 1955 created anti-protons in the powerful Bevatron atom smasher at the University of California's radiation laboratory in Livermore, Cal. These particles closely resemble protons, but carry negative charges...
