Lunker trout lark on Meramec trout stream
Missouri Department of Conservation biologist Spencer Turner describes Meramec and Northfork trout as home to nine pound browns and rainbows. He cites early morning and late evening feeding, suggests muddler or light streamers, and notes a 15 inch size limit with a three fish creel on the streams starting January 1, 1978, to curb gigging.

Rolla researchers test if baseballs are livelier than 1976 models
At the University of Missouri Rolla two mechanical engineering researchers under Drs Bain and Engelhardt used an air cannon to launch 1976 and 1977 MLB baseballs at a wood wall to measure bounce velocity with radar.
