NCAA Champion LaSa|Ie's S Coach
Ken LoefIer Gets Much Praise

the title game to LaSale, 1854, on
Saturday. They knew how to take
andvanage of every opportunity.
Blackburn's words were an echo
of the moan of Coach Dudley Moore
after his top-seeded Duquesne team
was routed by LaSalle in the semi
final-"They only had one advant-
age over us, height edge in the
third man, but they knew how to
exploit it perfectly"
To all this praise, Loeffler re-
Sponded with a modest tribute to
"the greatest college team lever
coached" He pointed out that his
players "skinniness' gave them
speed that paid off in rebounds and
loose balls.
Then he elaborated on his new
tangled idea of a basketball at
tack, which may revolutionize the
present coaching method. The sys-

ment to Judge William Bondy.
The grand jury, sitting since last
October, questioned about 80 wit
nesses, among them middleweight
champion Sugar Ray Robinson.
GOVERNMENT CHARGES
The government complaint speci-
fically charges the defendants with
conspiracy to exclude others from
the promotion of professional cham
pionship boxing contests and the
sale of radio, television and motion
picture rights in such contests.
They are also charged with OBJ
tanning exclusive contracts from
champions and leading contenders
in all major weight divisions, re-
quiring them to appear for the IBC
of New York and Illinois as con-
dition of taking part in title fights.
This suit has been brought by
the Department of Justice for the
purpose of removing the monopo-
listic control of professional cham
pionship boxing imposed by these
defendants.
THE public, as well as the con-
testants, promoters, radio and tele-

w. Va, last Sunday, and many
other places to q total lof at least
400, 900 hearers, Mr.. Randolph has
made many radio and television
Some Of those appearances were
part Of the public service his COM
pany has sponsored. Most OF them,
he explained. resulted from his
own determination to do all what
ever he could to help bring out
the biggest possible vote for to-
morrow's election.
Among Mr.. Randolph's main
observations were these two: That
too many people mistakenly be-
lieve their individual votes do not
count. And that many people who
have the most to lose by a weaken
ing of the Democratic process do
not bother to vote.
In his 627 speeches, he stressed
that "and forefathers who pro-
vided the vigor which has kept
our democracy strong were never
too busy to vote" He also emphas-
lied that a citizen who votes, even
he votes for an unsuccessful can
didate, contributes to the vitality
of the Democratic process. The
only person who really loses his
vote, he says. is the citizen who
does not vote.
That is why Mr.. Randolph be-
lieves is it even worse not to vote
at all than to vote oftener than
you should.
