From Pioneer III, Van Allen discovered that there are not one but two radiation belts, with a low-intensity slot between them. Studying the tapes, he concluded that the outer belt is made of weaker particles, presumably protons and electrons that come from the sun. At its outer edges, it curves downward in "horns" that hit the atmosphere near the magnetic poles. These horns were what produced the northern lights...
Fresh from a smashing triumph over Army's powerful Cadets, the varsity track team will face Princeton, one of the East's weaker squads, this afternoon at 1:30 in the Stadium. Even if it suffers a slight ledown after last week's all-out performance, the Crimson should have little trouble with the Tigers, and its point total should approach the 100 mark...

Their captain and number one singles man, Tony Richardson, who beat Larry Sears last year, is back and gave Yale's Don Dell a tough first set in Amherst's 9-0 loss to the Elis last week.

...precisely the right time. Twenty years ago Warren North could not afford a pair of new work shoes; he did his chores in an overshoe and a boot. Today, by taking full advantage of all the scientific advances, plus an amount of hard work that would have broken a weaker man, North is comfortably a millionaire. But he remembers every struggling step of the way up. Born in 1913 on the farm he now owns, near Brookston (pop. 1,100), in northwest Indiana, North started in field work at the age of seven, the year after his mother died...
