WASHINGTON CUPID - BY
unanimous decision, the SUI

under the Taft : Hartley Law
state courts have the power to
enforce state laws limiting or
banning so-called "agency

contracts.
The decision came as a
setback to union attorneys who
had contended that the National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
had jurisdiction to set aside such
state restrictions. An agency
shop clause requires that work.
ers covered by the agreement
must pay monthly service fees
in lieu Of dues if they do not
join the union.
The Supreme Court decided
last June that the agency shop
now included in about 6 Of
every 100 contracts-iS valid
under federal law.
n
But today's 8 to 0 vote upheld
a Florida Supreme Court find
ing that state tribunals could
void a contract with an agency
shop provision if it violated
state law. This went counter to
the union claim that the NLRB
had exclusive jurisdiction in
this area.

Now there are two teams that are pretty
much alike-Navy and Baylor"
HAA&
THESE TWO WIDELY Y-SEPARATED
teams are alike in that Navy has Staubach
and Baylor has probably the second most
publicized college quarterback Of '63, Don
Trul. I'VE contained Trull, controlled the
ball, and won by TO-" Ramsey reminded.
Texas was the only school to place
two men on the FBWA-Look Magazine
An-America and both of them, Scott Apple
ton and Tommy Ford, were roaming about
the room while Ramsey was speaking.
Army didn't have lineman like Apple
ton" Jones said, nor running back like
Ford. And Navy doesn't, either"
But there's Roger staubach," he was
prodded.
We've got the best quarterback In the
country" Ramsey retorted. Duke Carlisle
is the best in the Nation and he didn't even
make All-Conference. Trull of Baylor got
it because he's like Staubach throws
lot Carlisle doesn't throw-Army's kid,
Stichweh is little like him-but Duke
sure will control the ball."
EVERYBODY STILL Is TALKING
about Army-Navy, and they're apt to be
doing it for quite a while. Naturally, the
Second-gueSSerS are out in force. With
time running out, why didn't Stichweh
throw out of bounds on second down to
stop the clock and get organized? Why did
the clock run when Army was huddling
after noise" time-out? Why didn't
Stichweh, leading ground gamer of the
day, call his own signal?
A distinguished visitor to our town
today, Oklahoma's Bud wilkinson, was in
clined to feel the official should have
allowed Army last play. 81 know that
in our conference Big Eight and in the
Southwest, too, referee will stop the clock
if quarterback can't make himself heard.
He'll allow a huddle and then start the
clock again when the team gets back into
formation. It's shame it had to end the
way it did"
1t took 1888 for Army to run three
plays from Navy's 7-yard line, so somebody
on the West Point end goofed. But be
charitable to Stichweh. Nineteen years
old, playing quarterback his first season
and still the unexpected star of the game,
Rollie was the lonesomest guy in the world

had covered the 21-15 thriller in Phila-

"And so they put it to a player vote

Cotton Bowl bid :"
'They put it to vote?" Jones Ramsey
asked wryly. He wore bemused expression.

man inquired, isn't it likely that Navy will
make for better game? From what I've
seen on Tv and all the movie clips up here,
Texas is very conservative, like Army"
Jones Ramsey nodded. Our team Is
much better than Army's," he said, "but
there is a similarity. As you know, we
don't throw the ball much. We're ball
control team, so is Army"
ON THE EVE of the Army Navy game,
Coach Darrell Royal Of the Longhorns was
talking of his team and his own coaching
methods.
81 am becoming known as the Barry
Goldwater of Southwest football" Royal
admitted, ''but I'm not really as conserva-
tive as some people make out. I don't
mind throwing on third down If we're
across the 50-yard line"
Army kept the ball for the last 101a
minutes against Navy and that sort of ball
control, Royal says, is what his Longhorns
practice. I'VE try to do it," he said, land
against Navy we better had. No team is
going to contain Roger Staubach if he's
