00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:27.420
Out of the electrical research laboratory comes a startling new tool for the atomic

2
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:33.940
scientist, mechanical hands. Operated remotely by ingenious hand and foot controls, they can perform

3
00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:39.620
any delicate operation in the deadly radioactive areas of the atomic laboratory. Almost anything

4
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:44.100
human hands can do, this miraculous device can perform with equal dexterity.

5
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.640
Scientist inventor John Payne peers through a binocular equipped periscope to operate a

6
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.340
metal shear. In practice, this might be radioactive metal. Interchangeable

7
00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:10.420
hands selected at will by the operator give the machine wide versatility.

8
00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:28.540
Here it operates an electric drill press. Countless possibilities lie ahead for this

9
00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:33.840
almost human device. Who knows, someday you may even get your haircut conversation free

10
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:48.500
from a barber locked in a soundproof booth. Meet 11-month-old Sherry Lynn Whitford of Los

11
00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:54.360
Angeles, a normal baby girl who still can't walk, but Sherry is far and away more precocious than

12
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:59.820
most other infants her age. Yes, you guessed it, she swims. With a boyfriend and cousin

13
00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:07.260
Crystal Scarborough, her instructor, Sherry goes for her daily dip. She revealed her aquatic talent

14
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:12.680
at the age of six weeks. First came lessons to teach her to use her arms for propulsion. This

15
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.480
took quite a while, but she soon caught on and was able to swim by herself at the age of seven

16
00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:23.480
months. Now she dog paddles across this 30-foot pool several times a day. Instructor Scarborough

17
00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:40.840
thinks Sherry a sure bet for the 1964 Olympics. Sherry shows off her latest accomplishments,

18
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.640
diving and swimming underwater with eyes wide open. This was tried only after she learned to

19
00:02:47.680 --> 00:03:00.940
to break the shock of hitting the water. And now the little mermaid has added dive to her vocabulary

20
00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:16.820
of mama and dada. Rutgers and City College of New York opened the lacrosse season at CCNY's

21
00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:22.120
Lewis and Stadium. There are two of 30 American colleges which play the tough national game of

22
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:28.680
Canada. Many players wear masks to protect against blows from the hickory lacrosse sticks. City

23
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.720
College coach Leon Chief Miller, a full-blooded Indian, shows how the webbed stick is handled.

24
00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:40.460
The ten-man squad start play on the 80-yard long field. The ball is cradled while carried in the

25
00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:45.600
webbing of the stick. Rough moments come as players swing at an opponent's stick in attempts to

26
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:51.220
lodge the ball. Blocking with the stick or body checking is allowed, but checking from the rear

27
00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:57.000
or indiscriminate use of the stick is illegal. Penalties, as in ice hockey, force the team to

28
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:02.940
play shorthanded for up to three minutes. Lacrosse was adopted by early Canadian settlers from an

29
00:04:02.940 --> 00:04:09.780
old Indian game, which was lacrosse without rules. The Indians played with up to 200 men on a team,

30
00:04:10.140 --> 00:04:15.480
using the strategy of crippling as many of the opposition as possible. The scoring began when

31
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:22.100
most able-bodied players were knocked out. Speed, stamina, and split-second timing are essential

32
00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:27.840
equipment for the game's four 15-minute playing periods. While the game occasionally reverts to

33
00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:36.060
Indian style, the referees keep the rough play under control. Final score Rutgers 11, City 3.
