Bee Edges
7-6, for
Mark
By DICK STAY

AS might be expected, the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase High School
football team got its toughest
fight Of the season from rival
Montgomery Blair yesterday, but
the Barons prevailed by the
scantest Of margins, 7-6, to COM
plete its first unbeaten record
with victory No. 8.
A crowd Of $500 jammed the
Blair stadium to watch bees
strongest team in IS seasons of
football wind up its season.
The winning point was pro-
vided by Quarterback John Nc
Garry, who converted after B.
Co.'S only score with two minutes
remaining in the first half. From
then on. it was all Blair.
B-CC elected to kick of to
start the third quarter and Blair
punched SO yards in II plays,
Preston Ellis running
the last 6 yards, through right
tackle. Ellis tried the extra
point but a low pass from center
slowed the execution and Mickey
Mangharn blocked it.
Blair Drives Again
Blair roared back to drive 48
yards to the B-CC 10, but Stu
MapeS, reserve fullback, threw
Quarterback Tommy Brown for
a 4-yard loss and recovered
Browns tumble two plays later.
Intercepted passes by Jim Arta
and Jim Maloni nipped Blair's
next two possessions.
Although Brown was the goat
OF Blair's failing on its second
serious threat. he was the star of
the touchdown drive with 48
yards gained passing and run
ming. He recovered a tumble soon
afterward and he picked bees
normally tough defense to pieces.
Blair gained 1873 yards in the
game, all but 81 in the second
half. But it was almost as one
sided in bees favor before
B-CC Score Delayed
The Barons recovered a fum-
ole on the Blair 10 early in the
'irst quarter but fumbled it right
back on the IT. They drove to-
The Blair 7-yard line before Civ
ing up the ball at the start Of
he second period. Then MaloniI
returned a punt to the Blair 80
and the Barons went all the way.
Tullback Kenny Smith bucked
over on the second try from less
han yard away, and McGarryl
added what was to be the win
hing point.
1t was only the third time
3-CC won this annual game
;ince the football rivalry began
n l945. Blair has won seven
lines and there have been two
lies. 1t also gave B-CC its first
football championship in the

Critic Of Nixon
In MissOuriHit

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10 R.-
Leaders of the Republican Party
in Missouri are choosing up sides
again in an intra party feud.
Elroy w. Bromwich, newly
elected national committeeman,
started it rolling by backing
Harold Stassen's dump Nixon
campaign. He expressed doubt
President Eisenhower can carry
Missouri in November if Vice
President Nixon is on the ticket
His action drew a quick retort
from Perry Compton of Mont
gomery City, State G. o. P
chairman: That's absolutely
wrong"
Barak T. Mattingly, former
national committeeman, joined
the feud yesterday, saying he was
shocked and disappointed by
the efforts of Mr.. Bromwich to
help undermine a fine Republi-
can and an outstanding Amer
lean like Vice President Nixon. =
Mr.. Mattingly said:
u feel Bromwich has rendered
q serious disservice to the Re-
publican Party and to every can
didate on our ticket, not only in
Missouri. but in every other State
by his statement.
He has apparently thrown his
support to the other side of the

outset. This happened because. as
a delegate. he did not vote for
himself.
103 Ballots Is Record
Unlike the Democrats who set
a record of 103 ballots in 1924,
the Republicans had only one
really prolonged balloting. That
was in 1880 in Chicago when SO
ballots were needed to nomi-
nate James A. Garfield. Warren
q. Harding required 10 in 1920.
BENJAMIN Harrison eight in
1888. Hayes seven in 1876. and
Wendell Willkie six in 1910.
1t has been 80 years since the
Republicans used more than
one ballot to name a vice presi-
dental nominee. That was the
three for Charles G. Dawes in
1924. The only other vice presi-
Dental candidates picked after
more than one ballot were Will
liam L. Dayton, two. in 1856;
Hannibal Hamlin, two, in 1860,
and Schuyler Colfax. five, in
1868.
A State at the start of a roll
call could make motion-or
yield to another State to do So
that the presidential or vice
presidential nomination be by
reclamation. Such a motion was
made in behalf of Grant in 1872,
Mckinley in 1900 and Theodore
Roosevelt in 1904, but cries of
mo! MOI" caused completion of
the roll call.
Procedure Specified in Rules
The Republican National con-
vention rules of 1852. likely to
be adopted in substance for the
San Francisco convention, say
only:
When it appears at the end
of the roll cali that any candi-
date for the nomination for
President or Vice President has
received a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast in the con-
vention. the chairman of the
convention shall announce the
question to be:
shall the nomination Of the
candidate be made unanimous?'"
Convention Chairman Joseph
w. Martin may not even have to
go that far when the demon
Stration starts for Mr.. Eisen-
hover. He may have to go a bit
farther when it comes to nomi-
mating a vice presidential can
didate.

1t is scarcely a guarded secret
that after Representative Hal

of Dwight d. Eisenhower in NOM

Aug. %, the convention in San

there to make it official without

said. "the issue of segregation
