Ninth VICTORY IN BOOKS
Barry Needs 81 Points to Smash
Georgetown's Sing|e-Season Record
BY ROBERT SONIMERS
Star Staff Writer

The way Jim Barry is going,
he may break Georgetown's
single-season scoring record a
week from Saturday when the
Hoyas entertain Manhattan in
McDonough Gym.
The 1.-the 6-foot-6 sophomore
is only 81 points away from
Warren Buehler's record of 5l1
established In the 1884 sea-
son, and for the last three
games Barry has averaged 80
points.
He could set the stage for
the ord-breaking ceremony
with another high-point total
Sunday afternoon when
Georgetown plays host to Holy
Cross. The Hoyas, then take
the rest Of the week off before
meeting Manhattan.
Barry picked UP 20 last night
as the Hoyas won their ninth
game Of the season against 10
defeats by beating Loyola Of
New Orleans. 72-70, in Nc
Donoush Gym.
Takes Over Second Place
This gives Barry 449 for 10
games and jumps him to Sec
ond place In Georgetown's ALL
time list. He went into the
game ranked fifth. then passed
Brian (Puddy) Sheehan,' Bill
Bolger and Joe Missett with his
28-point barrage.
For Barry to get the required
81 points to catch Buehler, he'll
have to average lit for the
remaining seven games. It APP
pears he won't have to do much
more than show up to notch
that kind Of average. He's now
cruising along with 23.6 mark
and seems assured Of breaking
that record, too.
Sheehan's 1877 average for
the 1889 season Is the
school mark.
Since Barry already owns
the one-game record Of Al
points against Navy, he prob
ably can come out Of his first
season with three records.
AS pleasing as this prospect
is to Coach Tom O'Keefe Of the
Hoyas. he'd like to see the en-
tire team q little stronger on
defense. He made his desires
plain at halftime last night
after the Hoyas had blown a,
seven-point lead and dropped
behind, 1896.
II told them that we might {
have a defensive drill right
after the game If they didn't {
start playing better. I didn't
care II there were 500 people in
the stands. we were going to {
stay there and practice de- Z
fense." h
When the teams came back
on the floor, Georgetown reeled
off eight points within 3h
minutes and held Loyola,
coached by x-Washingtonian
Bill Gardiner, to a free throw
by Ed Kennedy. making the
score 44-40.
Hoyas Build Lead
From there Georgetown built
its lead to 58-49 before Loyola
came back and took the lead,
1864 with 4:40 left. Barry put
the Hoyas ahead, 68-66, with
q field goal and two free
throws, passed off to Joe Franz I
who made it 70-66 before Ken !
Ryan made 1t 1903 with a field

Robinson Gets
Healthy Raise
From Red!eqs
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
Frank Robinson, who was 81
popped at the end Of thu
1862 baseball season that h,
was considering quitting tn,
game, has been given exactly
the right tonic for his tireC
blood--a healthy pay boost.
The 27-year-old Cincinnati
outfielder officially ended al
talk Of retirement yesterday BY
signing a contract for q re.
ported 100000.
If the estimate of Robin.
sons salary is correct, he's the
highest paid player in Cincin-
natl history, and also one oi
the fastest to change his mind
about an early retirement.
Less than five months ago
Robinson wound up the season
with the National Leagues Sec
ond highest batting average
(.342) and the startling an
nouncement that he was quit
ting because Of the physical
beating I've been taking in
baseball"
Leaves Door Ajar
Robinson said he was tired
OF being hit by pitches, that
his back ached and that he
was sore from sliding into
bases. He said money was not
q factor, but later left the door
ajar with the statement that he
could be induced TO return for
q salary in the niehgborhood
Apparently the righthanded
power-hitter got a step half
way up, q $4,000 boost over
his 1862 salary Of $4,000. Last
season Robinson hit 80 homers
and drove in 1875 runs, excellent
talking figures.
Asked at the signing II he
meant 1t when he said he would
retire, Robinson replied:
"Yes, but with this kind of
3 contract I changed my mind /"
The contract puts Robinson
IN the top MI salary bracket,
which includes players such as
Willie Mays Of San Francisco.
Hank Aaron and Warren
SPAIN Of Milwaukee and Stan
Musial Of st. Louis.
Pinson Also Signs

tic conceptions; in any case,
1t Is In the domestic field
that his difficulties were the
greatest and progress the
slowest.
Early on, he showed that
his way would be to try to
conciliate and persuade the
Congress, and to compromise
with 1t where he had to,
rather than to try bulldozer
tactics. OF his bold actions,
his nuclear conformation
with the Soviet Union over
Cuba was the boldest, one Of
the boldest and most sue
cessful acts Of craftsmanship
the history books will ever
tell the future about.
But at bottom. Mr.. Ken
nedy was a cautious, prudent
man. He liked to have all
his ducks in a row before he
fired. However vibrant in his
political behavior, he was, in
his deepest emotional nature,
a conservative human being.
Rarely did the people become
aware Of his deep feelings
about anything. When he
spoke to the country by radio
or television his head usually
ruled his heart. Only in very
special circumstances, as on
the day of brutal events in
Mississippi, did passion rise
in his voice as he spoke. This
is why some professional OBJ
servers said that President
Kennedy had opened his
mind to us, but not his heart
-. that therefore, politically,
he had not captured the
heart Of the people.
II that was so, it is so no
longer; the heart Of the peo-
pie is with the young Presi-
dent in death; with all Of his
family.
The tears Of the country
are with them; its hopes are
with the new President.

People, Through Indifference, Are Felt
To Have Permitted q Roge of Hate
DORIS FLEESON

The American nation has
said goodbye bravely and
sweetly to John Fitzgerald
Kennedy. the President who
never got his chance to
achieve greatness.
To murder has been added
the denial to youth to live its
life, to show what it could do.
This Is the ultimate brutality
Of war which men have tend
ed to excuse as an instru-
ment Of policy throughout
the ages.
1t has been visited upon a
bright and peaceful spirit for
no reason. The facts Of life
in the world today are grim,
but the country is well de-
Tended, its people are at
work, no secret police knock
at the door at midnight in
the name Of security. There
has been no fearful crisis up
setting the social and eco
nomic order beyond a normal
mans ability to adapt to
change.
The crowds which lined UP
for three miles on a bitter
night to pass quietly before
John Kennedy's bier in the
Capitol rotunda seemed to
feel that they owed him
something they knew not
otherwise how to repay. They
included all manner Of men
and women, youth and age,
the well dressed and the
humble.
The question was put to
them repeatedly: why are
you here?" The invariable
answer-alm ost invariably
stated in the same simple
terms: Il came to pay my
respects"
1t is impossible not to be-
lieve that such people can
run a democracy. make good
choices and do what needs to
be done. Yet they had failed

lack Of judgment permitting
q rage Of hate to flourish.
Even when not of it. too
many have lived side by side
with it without protesting.
Somehow it has been un-
fashionable to join b battle
with the haters, their publ
cations and their contrib
utors. Even when they passed
well beyond the bounds Of
protest movements, pasting
on the treason labels at their
whim, disrupting schools and
destroying public order, they
have been dismissed as "just
politics"
Now they have had their
blood sacrifice in one Of their
hate capitals. Their voices
are subdued. but it Is too
much to expect they will
remain so. What the citizen
will now do to protect the
republic is still in hazard.
The sad irony which will
always live with those who
knew him is that the Presi-
dent who now sleeps a martyr
to American violence sensed
1t in the public temper and
turned the other cheek. True,
he got mad once In a while
and he enjoyed an outburst
Of partisan loyalty to him
and to his cause.
But he had no taste for
extremes, and he was only
beginning to lose faith In the
power Of reason. Always con-
fident Of his reelection, his
spirits visibly hghtened as 1t
began to appear that he real

for the measures he cham
pions. He has q keen under
standing Of public-opinion
trends. Like every Vice PreSi-
dent who has been given the
task Of filling out q presiden-
tial term, he will seek to
m aintain the administra-
tons basic policies.
As for world policy, Presi-
dent johnson will be under a
strain in getting familiar
quickly with all the nuances
of our delicate relations with
other governments. but he
can apply the same percep-
tive qualities to foreign af-
fairs as he does to domestic
policies.
Above all, the influence Of
John r. Kennedy will remain
to spur the new President on
to achieve the unfinished
task-an understanding be-
tween rival powers which
could give assurance of an
era Of peace.
It viii be recalled that the
words Of the 86th Psalm pro-
claim that "AlI nations
whom Thou has made shall
come and worship before
thee, o Lord, and shall glori-
fly Thy Name" The poet Eli
zabeth Barrett Browning
wrote, "And life Is perfected
by death" Longfellow's fam
Gus verse comes to mind. He
wrote:
There Is no deathl What
seems 50 Is transition:
This life Of mortal breath
Els but a suburb Of the life
elysian,
Whose portal we call death"
AS Cardinal Cushing said
yesterday at the final mass
for the late President Kenne-
dy. Life Is not taken away,
but Is transformed"
The whole world listened
yesterday. Maybe it will con-
ttnue to listen to words that
challenge man to fulfill his
mission and bring peace to q
distraught world.

dent and seriously wounded
the Governor.
One can only wonder in
what furnace this hate-filled
brain had been fired. One
asks, too. how many more
there are secretly planning
violence and death. We see
daily that there are in this
country men and women who
no longer feel any love for it.
They have withdrawn in
hate to hateful causes.
The extreme right and left
have revealed their minds to
us in their literature, public
utterances and an anony-
nous flood of mail and filth
and lies about the now-dead
President and our Govern
ment. We have had ex-
tremists in high places openly
call on their people to defy
their own Government. And
in some instances great
wealth, made in America, is
reported behind some of the
more extreme organizations
and propaganda
They have preached that
freedom is dying seemingly
because they could not domi-
nate the Government with
their greedy dreams Of power.
Those persons who at
luncheons and cocktail par
ties have INDUCED in vulgar
jokes and expressions Of hate
against the President, his
wife, and their Government,
as was done against Frank
lin and Eleanor Roosevelt,
must also feel g small share
Of guilt. So at this hour, be-
fore we begin to mourn, we
would do well to understand
that hate can kill a Presi-
dent, and, If unchecked in
behalf of morality, decency
and human dignity, it can
also kill a Nation or so weak
en- it that it will die.
