...Look!" After the championships last week there was one theatrical exhibition that made even judoka shudder. As a finale to the tournament, Japan's little (5 ft. 6 in., 165 lbs.) Shozo Awazu, currently coaching in France, took on ten of the contestants one after another...
...open until the rocket is falling so fast that the first brush of air resistance burns them up. The highest-flying rocket so far (the two-stage "Bumper WAC Corporal," which rose 250 miles) came back to earth with its steel fins partially fused.
