...Wall Streeters, who are figuring on similar drops for Kennecott's competitors. They estimate Anaconda earnings at slightly over $4 v. $12.85 m J956 and Phelps Dodge at around $4.40 v. $8.72. Principal reason for the drop: a price slide that Kennecott's President Charles R. Cox called a "debacle." Three weeks ago Kennecott set the pace for domestic producers by dropping its price from 27? to 25? per lb., lowest in five years and down 46% from the record 46.7?^ in March 1956. On the London Metal Exchange, where world prices are set and fluctuate with daily...
...worldwide boom, Chilean, African and U.S. producers boosted production and opened new mines. Copper supplies were still so short in 1956 (after a 43-day U.S. strike in 1955) that free market prices in London were bid up to 54.6?. "Now," says Kennecott's Cox, "automotive production is down and so are housing starts. Utilities have slowed their expansion programs. Those are our three biggest customers.

His ball handling seemed more magical than mercenary. He called signals so swiftly, his team peeled off as many as four plays a minute, had its first touchdown in only six plays. When Bobby & Co. stopped running, Minnesota...
Successful Failure. Robert LaFayette Cox has been on the run for the better part of his life. A couple of his slower-footed friends in the grade-school gang he ran with in Los Angeles wound up in reform school. When he was 14, he ran away from home, worked at odd jobs along the West Coast for a few months before he took a crack at education again in Washington's Walla Walla High School...
Hunch Player. Just as he hit his stride, Cox decided to quit. He got caught between the lines in a pitched battle between "downtown" alumni and Coach "Cowboy" Johnny Cherberg, and when his own eligibility proved to be at stake, he packed his gear and moved to Minnesota. National Collegiate Athletic Association rules kept Transfer Student Cox on the sidelines for a long, tough season. Then he busied himself by getting married once more. But his new wife has been forced to share him with his first love: football. Bobby still mixes his plays with fine disdain for classic strategy...
