Another noise drowned in the landslide's rumble: two-time Democratic Governor Albert Benjamin Chandler, 61, sometime U.S. Senator and unlamented baseball high commissioner (1945-51). Barred by law from succeeding himself as Governor, "Happy" Chandler tried in the May primary to win the nomination for a hand-picked successor. He failed against a Combs campaign expertly engineered by ex-Senator (1950-56) Earle C. Clements, 63, bitter factional foe of Chandler for a quarter-century (TIME, May 25).

With Fitzgerald and Benjamin out, Mark Mullin and Ralph Perry will carry the Crimson's faint hopes today. Mullin ran a good 25:41 for five miles in taking sixth against Yale and Princeton last week, but he must do even better to figure in the Heps.
