dent was able to accomplish any
thing substantial in the pre-eIec-
ton period when both repeatedly
talked about the need for leader
ship.
The answer, Of course, is that
neither Nixon nor Kennedy pub
iciy face up to the fact that Con-
gress Is controlled by a bitter, hard
little group Of special interest
pleaders who have come to be
known as The Coalition" of
Southern Democrats and conserva-
tive Republicans.
In private both men az well as
Mr.. Eisenhower may admit that
they do not know how to cope with
THE Coalition. In public they
merely substitute campaign ora
tory az an explanation for lack
Of action.
Who are the big powers in The
Coalition? Until he went on the
national ticket, Lyndon B. John
son certainly was a member; now
his status is confused, with signs
that he may have lost his grip,
judging from the results of the
congressional session.
But the others remain firmly in
control and continue to work as a
team. Among them are: Richard
Russell ID. Cal, Robert Kerr I'd.
oklaJ, Harry F. Byrd Cd. Va,
Styles Bridges Or. Nib, Everett
DirkSen Or. M, and half dozen
more. When 1t comes to protecting
privileges for off-shore oil inter-
ests, or insurance companies, or
the banks these men know how to
get results.
When 1t comes to new wage
laws, broadening social security, or
similar social welfare legislation
they know how to prevent results.
Until Kennedy or Nixon break
up this combine, they are going to
have trouble in the campaign and
in the next four years, too, who
ever wins The White House. So
far there are no signs that either
man has a plan of action for hand
ling The Coalition.

about countertng 1t VIII be an IN
teresting study in campaign tao
tics.
The first tip-off on how Mr..
Eisenhower win participate in the
campaign came after the Senate
had rejected moves by Sen. John
r. Kennedy and his supporters to
broaden minimum wage legislation,
health insurance and similar social
welfare laws.
Boiled down to its essentials
this was the Presidents argument.
How could Kennedy be expected
to have any influence over his
fellow-Democrats next year, II he
could not keep them in line now,
when he is running for the presi-
dency?
The Democrats privately admit
that it was a telling point and also
that they did not come up with
much Of an answer. There was an
answer, right at hand, that ap-
parently was overlooked by Ken
nedy's board Of strategy. They
could have asked:
How much influence did Nixon
have over his fellow-Republicans?
Very little, it would seem. They,
too, voted against the social well
fare legislation. While Nixon echo
ed Sen. Jack Javits on health in
surance and civil rights, it was a
hollow echo. Few other Republicans
went along. Actually Nixon came
up with no program Of his own
during the bob-tail session of Con-
gress; he merely seconded the
Presidents "22 points"
So while Kennedy failed to reach
the goals he had set, at least there
were goals.
THE INTENTIONALLY -
While Nixon and Kennedy argue
back and forth over who scored
what point during the post-con-
vention session Of Congress neither
need be surprised that the many
observers view the whole affair
with a jaundiced eye.
Certainly the ordinary voter does
not care one bit about these finer
points Of "one-ups-manship." What
he probably does want to know is

Hens Entrenched
In MAC Basement
With O-4 Record

LaSalle's b "a S k ball team,
runner-up in last years cham

division, is out in front in the
title competition this season.
The nigh-flying Explorers S

pion st. Joseph's, in second
place, and Temple, third. Della
ware, experiencing one of its
worst campaigns on record, is
firmly entrenched in the confer
ence basement with four de-
feats in as many decisions. The
Hens have six games remaining
on the conference schedule.
LaSalle boasts the top often
siye average of the university
division, a very respectable
average of 1877 points game.
Defensively, st. Joseph's stands
in the fore, after permitting $50
points to be scored against
them.
Gettysburg players have dem
onstrated the keenest eyes from
the floor, scoring on 49.7 per
cent of their field goal attempts
against league opponents. Tops
in the free throw department is
Lafayette, with percentage of
73.1. st. Joseph's rebounding
average of $50 is tops in that
category.
In individual statistics, La
fayette's Charley Ross is set
ting the pace with an average
of ESQ points per game in his
two appearances against univer-
sity division foes.
Ross teammate, Morris Boy
er, has proved the most accur-
ate among league scorers with
more than 10 field goals scor-
ed. Boyer, with l3 field goals
to his credit, has connected on
81.3 per cent of his shots from
the floor.
In free throws, Gettysburg's
Bob Parker and Temples Bruce
Drysdale have recorded perfect
performances from the free
throw line. Bucknells Joe Stein
er is tops in rebounding, with
an average of TT per game.

Eagles Clash AT Dover Tomorrow;

A hot and cold Smyrna High
quintet comes face to face with
another major obstacle Friday

squads will be going all out to
score an impressive victory.
The Eagles will enter the fray
in hopes of continuing their
sports dominence over the SEN

Days upset 60 football triumph.
The Dover five, on the other
hand, will be out to make
amends for this humiliation.
Jeff Reed, diminutive guard, is
the sparkplug of the Senator
attack which boasts a % rec
ord on the campaign. Jim Som
erville, Don Hess, and Rodney
Thompson add balance to the
Offense.
Smyrna has been strengthen
ed this week with the return
of three standout performers.
Bob Boyer, Barry Pritchard, and
Harold Moffett should aid Coach

The trio, sidelined until this
week by doctors orders, will

and strengthen the thin reserve
ranks of the Eagles bench.
On paper tomorrow nights
