...David E. Callison, 46, a Portland, Ore., cop for 22 years, has spent hours nose-to-nose with campus protesters and watched many a truncheon thudding against student skulls. So one day last spring Callison was both alarmed and relieved to learn that his 22-year-old daughter Liz, a senior at the University of Oregon, had just survived her first sit-in demonstration unscathed and spent a night in jail for trespass. "All we wanted was a chance to talk to the president of the university," she said. "We waited peacefully for 36 hours. When the police came...
...trouble is that Liz yearns to bring "the system" to a screeching halt at once. After her arrest, she told Callison: "We have to close down the university and start all over." Callison good-naturedly threw up his hands: "Wow, Liz, are you dumb! Just like that, huh? Close the university. Wow." She told her father that he and his fellow cops ought to be out cracking the heads of industrial polluters, not the young. He replied that "a policeman has to enforce the law that the majority approves." At one point, he said wearily, "If you only knew...
...sense they are, and in the case of the Callisons, the father has just as much to teach as the child. A rare cop, Callison attended the University of Portland for three years before dropping out in order to support his family by pounding a beat.

Calvin Lee Koonce has no such problem. He clearly recalls throwing his last spitball to Johnny Callison of the Philadelphia Phillies, who grounded into a force play. Koonce's memory may be due to the fact that he is only 26, still pitches for the New York Mets-and threw his last spitter just the other...
...Straight. Two weeks ago, Gibson shut out the Phillies on one hit-a single by Callison. Last week he gave up ten hits to the meddlesome New York Mets, but he struck out nine and won the game 4-3 for his sixth straight against no defeats. With the 1965 season a month old, the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals have won 13 games (out of 27), and Righthander Gibson has personally accounted for 46% of those victories. Last week he led both leagues in strikeouts (with 54) and shutouts (with three), and his earned-run average was a stingy...
