DeMatha will carry a win

tomorrow night at Carroll,
which is just one of several
factors encouraging DeMatha
partisans to expect an improve

Mari LEADING

TUCSON, AriZ.. Feb. 20 (AP)
Dave Mari plans to take
more time with his puts to-
day as he leads a tightly
packed field into the third
round of the $4,000 Tucson
Open by a stroke with a 7-under-
par, 1873. Hurrying on the
green's cost him two strokes
yesterday.
Mari was about the only pro
to blame himself for his trou-
bles. Most heaped abuse on
the 40 mile = per hour wind
gusts that obscured fairways
with sand and did unexpected
things with golf balls.
Tom Nieporte, Bronxville,
N. Y, and Don January, who
recently quit his job as pro
with a Denver club, were tied
a stroke behind Mari.
Paul Harvey, Worcester,
Mass, the first-round leader,
and Don Fairfield. Jackson

today.
Gene Littler, Singing Hills,
Calf, the defending champion,
is one Of a group of seven with

Missing the cutoff point Of
l44 by one stroke was Lloyd
Kelley, assistant pro at Manor
near Washington, D. C. He
shot "a yesterday for las. Also
out was Melvin Rowe of Burn
ing Tree who three-putted six
green's for 78-l51.
Already en- route to San

stop, were Jimmy Clark, assist

With five losses and two ties

mined to get on the winning
side for a change.
New York holds a 80 series
edge and in most of the games
penalties for both teams have
been high. In one game in
particular here, some sort of
a record was set when 20 pen
altleS were called, five for fight

One factor, perhaps, in Wash

age the view in Wall Street that
the long dispute ought to be
settled.

widely credited with engineer
ing the settlement, said he
didn't see Mr.. Kennedy around

tiating."
Senator Kennedy said he
knew his father had urged a
settlement, but added he was
not familiar with the details of
the elder Kennedy's activities.
Others Also Credited
Mr.. Mcdonald said he didn't
want to underrate what he
called the great Job Mr.. Nixon
and Mr.. Mitchell did in getting
the industry and the union to-
gether. But he added that
others, including the elder
Kennedy. also played a part.
Mr.. Mcdonald issued q
formal statement late yester-
day saying he made no political
commitments in the course of
settling the strike. He said he
had not committed himself to
support Mr.. Nixon or anyone
else.

up their own minds and will
continue to do so in the COM
