are running one-two in the
league at present and unless
the others, notably Colesville
and Sandy Spring, show i'm
provement from here on in,
that's the way it might finish.
Although the Departmental
League is not as strong as in
past years, NsA's feat Of going
unbeaten shouldn't be mini
mized.
NSA, like the 6970th Red
Devils team, comes all the way
from Fort Meade. Md. to play
on the Ellipse.
Manager Dick Verbanic of
NSA has put together a pretty
solid club. AS winner Of the first
half in the league, NSA au-
tomatically gains q berth in the
City Series in August.
NSA might not go too far in
the series. but it won't be any
Ipushover. Not with the pitch
ing it has been getting thus
far.
The eight wins were dis
ltributed among Bob Holick CD
Ron Kaufman (2). Mike
Davidson 90 and Charley
Parry ~. Davidson's two VIC
tories we're a one-hitter against
the Red Devils. and a two
hitter against the Navy Tars.

National Security Agency
went unbeaten in eight games
in the Departmental League to
take the first half champion
ship. Strick's Restaurant, with
an s-2 record, won first half
honors in the Gauzza League.
The Industrial League Is
playing games this week that
were postponed earlier in the
season, but viii not have a
split schedule as in past years.
Instead, q playoff between the
first four flnishers in the six
team league will be held at
the end Of the regular schedule,
early in August.
First half play in the Prince
Georges County League winds
up July 6. Greenock is out in
front and a victory in either
its game Sunday against Baden
or the following Sunday against
Silver Hill would give it no
worse than q tie for the title.
The season ends September
IA and then a best-of three
series is played between the
first and second-half winners.
on first half play, Greenock
and Baden most likely will be
in the championship playoffs
with only Bristol and Cedar

Science Course
Geared 10 Age
. BY JOHN A. GILES
star star Writer

A top-level group of teachers
and scientists has decided that
today's high school physics
courses are too "jazzed up" and
are cluttered with non-essen-
tials.
They have come up with a
new course which is geared to
the needs of the space age and
which uses inexpensive do-it-
yourself laboratory apparatus
plus movies.
Gone from the new textbook
are pictures Of automobiles
steam shovels and the like.
DR.. Ebert P. Little, execu-
tive director of the Physical
Science Study Committee, ex-
planned the new course today
and estimated that by 1860
100000 high school students
can be initiated into the new
concepts. He is here for the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology regional conference al
the Shoreham Hotel tomorrow
DR.. James r. Killian, jr.. or
leave as president of NIT tC
serve as President Eisenhower
special assistant for science ano
technology, will be the princi-
pal speaker at the meeting.
Praised BY Eisenhower
DR.. Little said that Mr.. Eli
senhower had looked over anc
praised the new textbook.
There is no question that
many educators have been dis
satisfied with the way high
school physics has been taught.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-28

/ DR.. Little said. Science has
been developing so rapidly dur.
ing the last few decades that.
rather than making a new APP
proach, new material had sim
ply been piled on top of old
material in courses and text
books.
1.-THE result was that many
students found physics dull and
dificult."
While the Russians launch
ing of Sputnik 1 gave impetus
to the effort, DR.. Little said 1t
was launched long before that
earth-shaking development.
The project was started by
DR.. Jerrold r. zacharias, NIT
physics professor and a men,
Der of Mr.. Eisenhower's Science
Advisory Committee. in 1856. He
felt that there was a need to
teach "20th century" physics,
DR.. Little said, and gathered a
group of leading scientists to
study the problem.
Cheap Apparatus
He said dozens of pieces OF
do-it-yourself laboratory ap-
paratus have been devised which
enable students to perform ex-
periments which teach physics
at little or no cost.
A new textbook is being pre-
pared geared to tie in with
visual aids. Work will start
next month on more than 60
m otion pictures presenting
physics which cannot ordinarily
be done in the classroom.
Still another phase of the
program is the preparation OF
inexpensive, paper-back book:
on special subjects, written by
top authors, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Laura Fermi, widow
of atomic-age pioneer Enrico
Fermi.

Joint Chiefs OF STAFF study
groups are looking into the
feasibility of modifying the
Navy-developed Talos and other
new slrrface-to-air rockets as
antiballistic missile weapons.
The aim is to give America
an early, interim missile-killing
capabilitv while the Army's
Nike -ZeuS anti-ICBM is being
perfected. The Nike-Zeu Is not
expected to be operational until
1862, at the earliest.
Rear Admiral John Z. Clark,
the Nays director OF guided
missiles. revealed the new jos
study during an interview in
his Pentagon Office today.
He said joint staff teams are
trying to determine Cd whether
any present weapon can be
adapted to a missile killer role
y
and 90 whether this could be
done significantly earlier than
the scheduled availability of
money and talent.
The Main Problem
Admiral Clark pointed out
that the major technical prob
lem would be electronic-build-
ing radar computers and other
complex machinery in the sys-
tenn designed to enable the de-
fender to place a missile in the
path of an enemy ICBM or
IRBM as 1t roared back

Admiral Clark said that in
his opinion the land-based
Talos offers considerable
promise as an anti-ballistic
missile weapon. This missile
was developed by the Navy for
the Army for use in protecting
strategic air command bases
and other vital targets.
The Navy expects to have the
ship-based Talos operational in
the Fleet by fall. The Talos il
