...helicopter is in its babyhood," said Igor Sikorsky last week. "It's not much beyond the airplane in the Kitty Hawk days." But even Sikorsky, who is the father of all U.S. helicopters, is amazed at how fast his baby is growing. Last week the Sikorsky Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corp. announced it will increase its factory floor space by one-third to 500,000 sq. ft.

Whenever possible, Menaboni draws his birds from life, to get the action right, sometimes dispatches them to do the plumage. The fact that he can keep them fresh in a refrigerator, he says, is a big advantage that Audubon would have appreciated. Another and greater advantage is his ability...
Forest Hausen, a sophomore guard, passes accurately, follows his shots well, and is a ball-hawk. He replaces Hickey, the same type of player. Junior John Stevenson is a center who is more agile but much smaller than Smith...
