...Pasadena's Rose Bowl, original of the dozen copies of the countrywide Bowl fashion, is still the No. 1 post-season game of the U. S.

The existence of neutrettos has not been proved. But in Chicago last week Physicist Francis R. Shonka of the University of Chicago reported high-altitude cosmic-ray experiments, in which he juggled various arrangements of Geiger-Muller cosmic-ray counters and selective lead shields, obtained evidence of something which he took to be electrically neutral particles of high penetrating power...
