Coach Porter
Awaits Debut
By MORRIS SIEGEE

MOST OF HIS LIFE Paul A. Porter has done things
in the grand manner, so it is not surprising to him
launch his football nothing than head coach
His biography indicates Porters background in foot
ball up to now has been restricted to prestige
and postgame parties which he repeatedly does even in
the off-season His energence as coach in his first
venture IN football was more less forced him and
even Porter has an nklng he may be overmatched
Professionally Porter is athletic director for high
falutn washington law firm which often INDUCES in
verbal scrimmages with the Supreme Court which as
high as anyone go in that league. Recently, how
ever one of the newer members of the Court flung
challenge at the amabe Kenuckian which he probably
should have declined
THE LAW CLERKS OF the august body suggested
that they contest group of footbalpayng lawyers Of
Porters acquaintance Justice Byron White, who has
not been the bench long enough to letter. would coach
the Supreme Court entry, Porter was told.
He also informed that Ray Brown, who gained
law degree while waiting to relieve Johnny Untas
quarterback for the Baltimore Colts would play for
the clerks. Brown now is law clerk for Justice Tom
Clark.
Confronted by Justice White, who did not pick up
the nickname "Whizzer" the Court coach Of the
opposition and Brown quarterback Porter asked for
72-hour delay decision to accept reject the
challenge.
HE STILL WAS WATERING until he sat in on the
Redskins Dallas game last Sunday. There he said he
learned how the game should not be played and he
anxiousy is awaiting the kickoff set for Sunday at
site as yet undetermined.
. Porter'S chief problem at the moment is rounding
up qualified football players Since the serum will be
conducted under the Kennedy Rules Of Touch Football,
Porter originally intended to seek the services Of the
Attorney General for obvious reasons
However, the clerks protested Porter complained
the grounds of conflict of interest Porter who hopes
to have future business with the Court did not press
the point In disqualifyng the Attorney General
player for the Volunteers for Porter the Court implied
that nobody connected with the administration eligible
for the Porters
The implications of their decision made Porter's
recruitment crisis burdensome In banning admin
istraion personnel the Court shut off the greatest
of touch football talent south of Harvard The Redskins
could use scouting system alert.
TODAY COACH PORTER was due to visit the George
town Dental Foreign Service and Med Schools for players
He has been given permission by the District of Columbia
Bar Association he says to offer law degrees
good for only day.
The failure of Porters biography to include his grid
iron accomplishments is injustice to him. He
Of the early in motion under Coaches Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman He was flanked out as
OPA administrator and FEC commissioner and
suited up head of the American mission to Greece all
varsity assignments In his earlier days Porter red
shrted and played in number Of Democratic ntramura
games such publicity chief in 1914
- Porter is underconfident Of his teams chances in
the game but he happy he got the Court to agree to
11-man team. Packing the Court was something even
President Roosevelt failed to bring off,
