techniques involved in obscen-

And Mr.. Day notified Attor-
ney General Robert Kennedy
that the Post Office Depart
ment had launched a drive
against mail order obscenity
which would mean more cases
for the prosecutors.
Many of the cases brought
under the breakdown have dealt
with obsce letters going

The case which has prompted
the flood of protests is prob

officers who can coach big-time football.
Probably no coaching change in years
mas kicked up such fuss-in the news
papers, in the Pentagon, on the streets.
One school of thought holds Dietzel to be
an migrate for picking up and leaving LSU,
taking four assistants with him; another
insists that young man has a right to
seek more abundant life, which in
Dietzels case was a five-year contract
where I always wanted to coach"
NATIONALLY, THERE is no great grief
held for LSU, school which plays football
for big stakes and, therefore, must be pre-
pared to lose now and then. But it is
apparent that something is radically wrong
with the entire system of hiring coaches.
What kind of contract is it that can be
torn up like piece of scrap paper?
The pros are not lily white but it
might be argued that their standard of
ethics is infinitely higher than the colleges.
Just about year or so ago, it will be re-
membered, the New York Giants wanted
Vince Lombardi of Green Bay to become
their coach. Lombardi, who had been an
assistant at New York, wanted to return
So did his family. They are big-city types
and little Green Bay, so lonesome in the
off-seaSon, was not really for them.
But as far as is known the Giants didn't
dare offer Lombardi contract That would
have been tampering, and the pros, whether
in football or baseball, respect the word
"tamper." Besides it calls for a heavy fine
of the offending team
This is the big advantage the pro clubs
with successful coaches hold over the COL
leges. Who is going to fine a school for
stealing coach?

which suggests that LSU people are begin
ming to recover from their outrage over
the departure of their beloved and success
full coach. The assistant who was left be-
hind, Charlie McClendon has been given
the job, and now, suddenly, LSU folk seem
to be wondering how Dietzel can possibly
manage without McClendon.
In fact, the story says as much, to wit:
"McClendon long was believed to be the
man behind the scenes in LSU's football
success" Also: Charlie McClendon, the
man who built Louisiana States unyielding
defense"

WxM LOSE OR DRAW
The Pentogon Studies Army Football
By FRANCIS sTANN

TT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY ap-
parent that in the high places of the Penta-
gon the Army football setup still is under
scrutiny. Not necessarily sympathetic,
either. This is the way one of the top brass
was talking the other day:
"AS I understand it, a football coach
Is supposed to build character, isn't that
SOP" 1t was tentatively agreed that perhaps
certain people still believe in this fable
Then" he asked, "how can man who
breaks contract be expected to build
character at West Point? Or at Navy, or
any place where 1t involves dealing with
young men?"
The reference, Of course, was to West
Points hiring of Paul Dietzel, who had four
years left on contract to coach football
at Louisiana State. This is not as hot a
topic as it was week ago, but it's far from
cold. Some Of the generals at the Pentagon
still pretend that it never happened. In
the Bayou country West Point is a nasty
name.

There are some known pro coaches who
yearned for the Army job, qualified geniuSeS
temporarily jobless, or about to become that

any of them so much as the 37-year-

seasons at the Point as an assistant
