They call football fall game be-

 BETTER TODAY

Vatican City, Jan. 25.-CUP)- Pain in Pope Plus legs has decreased a Vatican official said today and the Pope had several hours of compar- atively comfortable sleep last night.
 Prof Aminta Milani visited the Pope as usual. Then the Pope re- ceived Cardinal Pacelli, his secretary of state, and Monsignor Celso Con- stantini, secretary of the congrega- ton for the propagation of the faith.
 Improvement in the Pope's condi- ton was apparent yesterday when he received several dignitaries in audience.
 It was said that the condition of his heart was satisfactory and that diminution of pain had permitted resumption of occasional leg mas sages and hot packs.
 The pain had nearly disappeafed for the moment at least, it was said authoritatively, when he was put in his wheel chair this morning to re- ceiye visitors in the salon adjoining his bedroom.
