In San Antonio, Texas, Republicans enthusiastically welcomed their favorite, and Barry responded with a hard-hitting blast at a Kennedy Administration foreign policy that "stands wall-eyed in Berlin and cross-eyed in Paris and blind in Cuba." The Administration policy, he cried, "responds like a high-strung puppy to any mention of colonialism but shies like a frightened colt from the real problems of development in underdeveloped lands.

Finally, fullback Bill Grana, now back in the game, took the ball on what was supposed to be an end run but ended up in a blind alley at right tackle.
