...General Manager P. Joseph Cronin of the Red-Eds quipped as he returned from the police station last night. "In this 96th annual clash, I predict Crime will win, 23 to 2.

Aside from the scientific nature of these stories--which incidentally contain little pseudo-scientific jargon--there is another ingredient which seems to be exclusive to ASF.

...years since a U.S. gymnastic team won an Olympic championship. Even that victory at the world's fair in St. Louis in 1904 may have been hollow: some experts still say that the Americans won because there was no real European competition, and furthermore predict that the U.S. will never turn out a topflight team. Why can't the U.S. produce champion gymnasts? One man who thinks he knows is German-born Coach Bernard Unser of the famed Bronx branch of the American Turners (until 1948, the Turnverein').
