Hampden-Sydney scored first
and last, and cashed in on the key
plays Saturday afternoon to turn
back the Yellow Jackets of Ran
dolph-Macon 1877. Playing before
1000 fans in R c h m o n d city
stadium, the Tigers scored or
two touchdown passes by Fred
Mitchell to win the 66th game
played between these two small
college rivals.
All of the scoring was confined
to the first half. and H-SC played
a defensive game in the second
half against terrific odds. A
JACKET score plus a two point ex-
ira point would have spelled cur
tains for the slim 1876 lead held
so dearly by the Tigers.
With the Jackets rolling up 286
wards on the ground to l13 for
H-SC, the tension mounted as
the clock licked away the Sec
onds. Everyone on the field and
in the stands knew that one mis-
cue would be all that was needed
for the tide to turn completely.
The Tigers started the scoring
the second time they gained pos
session of the ball. Taking advan-
tage Of a break, H-SC started the
irive 81 yards away from pay
lirt. Aided by l5-yard penalty.
Mitchell tossed a short pass to
Lewis Everette, who took the
pitch on the five yard line and
sprinted across the goal. The ex-
ira point kick was good and the
Tigers led 70.
With the second quarter just
seconds old, the Jackets started
their to u c h d o " n drive. They
marched SO yards in six plays.
Tommy Alamo contributed As
yards on one play as he sliced
off tackle and scooted down the
sidelines. A 28-yard pass from
Trott to Pearce added to the
drive. that was climaxed by
Trott's sneak across from the
one.
Going for the tie, the Jackets
tried a kick, but Dickie Cralle
crashed through to block it. How
ever, the Tigers were off-sides
and the Jackets got another try.
This time they went for the two
points, but Alfano was cut down

SoIinger Says Duke
Speech Not Cleared

large sums Of their own
money on entertainment.
White House Press Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger was asked
today whether Mr.. Duke had
attempted to clear yesterdays
speech with Mr.. Salinger
since, as a newsman put it,
the speech was contrary to
what the President is trying
to do"
Mr.. Salinger replied he
hadn't discussed the speech
with Mr.. Duke and he said
he didn't think anyone else
at the White House had done
so.
Mr.. Salinger also said. he
had no comment on Mr..
Dukes statement that too
much is being spent for en-
tertainment at American EN-
bassies.
Before his Inauguration
Mr.. Kennedy took consider
able pains to smooth the way
for congressional sympathy
for efforts to increase repre-
sentation allowances in order
that more career men or men
without independent wealth
might be tapped for major
diplomatic assignments.
Representative John E.
Rooney, Democrat of New
York, in particular had made
what he called booze money"
a target of his pruning shears
as chairman of a House sub
committee handling State
Department appropriations.
Mr.. Kennedy invited Mr..
Rooney to his home at Palm
Beach, Fla, and got an
understanding that the legis-
lator would go along with
providing enough money to
assure that career diplomats
will be able to fill major posts
and entertain as needed.
Evening star., 1961-03-02
By the Associated Press

The State Departments S
protocol chief, Angler Biddle
Duke, got no clearance from
the White House press sec
retary for a speech question
ing the spending of what he
called staggering sums for en-
tertainment by United States
Embassies.
Mr.. Duke told a Women's
National Press Club luncheon
yesterday he often has Won
dered whether the spending
of large amounts of money
for entertainment is essential
to the success of diplomatic
missions in Paris, London
and Rome.
President Kennedy wants
Congress to provide more
money for entertainment, or
representation allowances. as
the State Department Ian
guage calls it.
Mr.. Kennedy's idea is that
more entertainment funds are
needed in special cases to
permit appointment of quail
fled Ambassadors who lack
financial resources for the
social requirements expected
Of them.
Ambassadors with great
personal wealth often spend
