somehow, between the retina

bassador and Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr., and Rep
resentative Laurence Curtis.
President Kennedy has stat
ed that he is keeping hands
off in his brothers race
against Mr.. Mccormack. But
he said at a press confer
ence that he has confidence
in his brothers ability. This
comes so close to an in
dorsement that it scarcely
can avoid having q consid-
cradle effect in the primary
campaign. For the issue be-
tween young Kennedy and
young McCormack-the first
is 80 years old and the sec
ond is Sis one of expert
ence and ability. Mr.. Ken
nedy served as an assistant
district attorney in Boston
for the better part Of a year,
and helped run his brothers
campaign for Senator and
for President. Mr.. McCor-
mack not only has served on
the Boston City Council but
has been attorney general Of
the State, an office to which
he was elected twice.
Family Interest Keen
Any effort to make a claim
that the Kennedy family
is not intensely interested
and aligned in support of the
candidacy of Ted Kennedy
has a hollow sound. Attor-
ney General Robert Kennedy
has announced that because
Of the character of the Of
flee he holds he has been re-
stricted from campaigning
for his brother. But the Ken
nedys are in Massachusetts,,
the summer White House is
there. Mrs. Kennedy, mother
Of the President and Of Rob-
ert and Ted, has stated she
will do all she can to aid m
the election of her son to the
Senate, and her aid can be
effective. She is the daugh-
ter of the late John F.
(Honey) Fitzgerald, one-time
Mayor Of Boston and q po-
litical power, as well as the
wife of Joseph P. Kennedy,
the Presidents father, a for
mer Ambassador to Great
Britain and rated one of the
wealthiest and most influen-
tial businessmen in the
country. And yet Mr.. McC0r-
mack fights on. He not only
fights but says he will win.
In New York, the Demo-
Gratis continue to founder
around, looking for a strong
ticket to put in the field
against Gov. Rockefeller and
Senator Javits. Like the
struggle in Massachusetts,,
the New York affair will not
be settled until the third
week in September. And I'M
less the Democrats can get
themselves together after
bitter intraparty fights In
both States the Republicans
should be able to chalk up
victories, especially in New
York. In Massachusetts, the
Democrats will make desper-
ate efforts to get together,
no matter whether Ted Ken
nedy or Ed Mccormack is
the senatorial nominee. and
they may succeed.

Thirty-fiVe years in Alaska, he served twenty-five in the national park service as Ranger, Chief Rang CT and Superintendent of Mt. Me Kinley National Park.

Hardin Geftinu
No Backing in
Blast at use
Navy Coach Calls
Procedures Illegal ,
Other Pilots Do Not
BY ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer

If Wayne Hardin, Nays
football coach, was looking for
support from other coaches
when he claimed that Southern
California, the Middies' op-
ponent Saturday. was guilty of
rules violations yesterday, he
was sadly mistaken.
Jerry Burns of Iowa, Jack
Curtice of Stanford and Mary
Levy of California all came to
the support of John McKay's
TrojanS today, claiming they
saw no illegal procedures when
their teams lost to undefeated
Southern California, ranked
No. 2 in the Nation.
Hardin claimed yesterday
that the Trojans have been
guilty of such sins as illegal
shifts, illegal motion and de-
liberately drawing the other
team OH SIDE.
Blasts Trojan Moves
1--WE never seen a team with
more illegal procedures and
tactics than this one" Hardin
said after watching movies of
all seven Southern California
victories.
"They shift a lot, their backs
run up and down the field and
one guy in the middle of the
line jerks his head all the time
drawing you off sides"
Hardin says that it is not
the idea of the shift and man
in motion that is illegal, it's
the way the Trojans go about
it. In his view the sudden
movement effected by Southern
Cal Stimulates the start of a
play.
But If Hardin saw all this
in the movies, he has better
vision than some of the other
coaches.
Sees Nothing Wrong
Burns, whose Iowa squad
dropped q TO decision to the
Trojans, said he saw nothing
illegal about their shifts and
movements before the ball was
snapped. He said they jumped
around a lot, which was dis
concerning, but he is sure they
didn't go outside the rules.
Curtice, the latest victim of
the Rose Bowl bound Trojans
said Mckay is doing a lot OF
new things.
Southern CALIFORNIA; shift
for a punt or extra point will
draw any team off side if it's
not careful, but it's legal"
Levy answered another claim
by Hardin that the Trojans
don't come to a full one-second
stop after a shift.
Followed Rule Book
"A shift becomes illegal If a
player is not set for a second
before the ball is snapped"
Levy said. LAS far as I could
tell, Southern California oper-
ated according to the rule
book"
Mckay was shocked when he
heard the Hardin charges. He
claimed he had officials on the
field during Scrimmage this fall
to catch possible rules infrac-
tons.
1T is amazing to me-" Mckay
commented, that not one of
our prior seven opponents ques-
toned our style of offense. You
can look at our schedule and
see We played in the Southwest,
Southeast and Midwest, and
with their officials. There never
has been a question of DELHI
crate illegal procedures by the
Trojans.
I have enough problems Just
trying to coach and not trying
to officiate, too"

rang Cassius was in his glory, grinning
and prancing. But I did go after him."
Gary said. II hurt him a couple of times
I'm sure, and the referee and both Judges
gave me the first round.
This is how smart the kid was: He
knew that I've always paced myself.
always held something back This time I
didn't. Unless it was on a knockout I'd
never won first round in my life
Il won the second one, too according
to the referee and one of the judges. But
In the third I'd had it. He knocked me
down. I got up and only had 10 seconds
to last but the ref stopped it.
. Il don't get sore very often but at a
post-fight party that night I berated the
officials for stopping it, Later I saw the
films and changed my mind. Cassius threw
10 or Is punches after got up and every
single one Of them landed The referee
knew what he was doing"
JAWISH is FULL OF PRAISE for CLAW
but he also respects ancient Archie Moore,
who fights CasSiuS live tonight in Los
Angeles and on Golde Ahearn's diversified
screen at Washington Coliseum via closed
circuit televiSion.
"CaSSiuS is faster than Moore and he's
better boxer, too," Gary said. But the
old guy is so smart and experienced"
How would Moore have to VIM" he
was asked. by knockout?"
"Oh, certainly. If it goes the limit
you'd have to like Clay, being so much
younger. And, Of course, Cassius is a big
boy now. Moore won't have any copyright
on all the good moves Clay could make
'em even when he boxed me. When I
thought I hurt him in the first round he
was almost Enthusiastically clever for a kid"
What about Clay versus Sonny Lis
ton?"
well, If Cassius beats Moore guess
he'll get the shot" Gary conceded.
Can he beat Liston?"
Frankly, don't think there's a man
alive who can beat Liston," lavish con-
Guided. But If anybody would have
chance 1t would be Clay"
