...itself, Stan Musial's slump might not have been so bad-but most of his teammates were following his example. And the pitching was poor too. The proud Cardinals, World's Series winners last year and favorites to repeat this year, tail-spinned into a nine-game losing streak-their worst in nine years. It was too soon to count them out, but soon enough to start worrying...

Before either pilot saw the other-or had time to do anything about it-the small plane drove at right angles into the big one's tail.

The DC-6, with its new anti-icing equipment (heated pipes along the leading edges of wings, tail and windshield), went right on through.

Their testes, too, behave as he expected they would, moving backward during the breeding season toward the tail membrane. Dr. Cowles postulates that the venous blood, returning from the air-cooled membranes, keeps their temperature down. Next step will be to prove it with accurate observations. Fellow zoologists cheer him on, but predict that he will have trouble when he tries to take the temperature of a bat's testes while it is flying...
