ASTRONAUTS IN TRAINING Glamour may fairly ooze out of the name of that first man to zoom into space, tn;t if it is one of America's seven astronauts, a quick survey of their training might knock some of the glitter off. LIFE continues its exclusive report on the grueling prep aration this seven are undergoing prior to making the leap into the air. This week the story is of the return to earth after the flight The capsule in which the first U.S. space man will ride is expected to land in the ocean, so along with learning the techniques essential to suc ' cessf ul spaceflight, the astronauts have to prepare themselves for mid-ocean ejection in case of a leak. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT VIEWED Caryl Chessman's execution has stirred truverey not just over whether or not he as an individual should have been sentenced to death, but our entire concept of capital punishment. A leading authority in criminal law, Herbert Wechsler, law professor at Columbia University takes a sober look in LIFE'S May 9 issue at the five major argu ments made by both sides of the controversy. Wechsler's discussion of these five major points f - . is probably one of the most concise, yet penetrating analyses to arise the Chessman verdict. for long though. Bobby Reynolds, showing some of the old sparkle that made him an All-American selec tion in 1950, nabbed a screen pass from Sam Vacant! for 11 yards and broke over tackle for 23 more. .Later in the quarter Vacant! charged over on a keeper for the Alum score. The worst defeat suffered by the Alums since the ser ies originated came in last year's game. . After being held scoreless for a half, the Nebraska Varsity came back to score a 224 victory over the Alums. It took the Varsity 11 plays to go 42 yards - for their first score, with Car roll Zaruba, Pat Fischer, Don Frick, and Tom Kra mer carrying the ball. The drive started when Frank Simon fumbled the second half kickoff and Pat Fischer pounced on the ball on the Alnmni 42 yard line.
