...selection caused some growling among right-wing Republicans ("The conservative wing," groused Michigan's stone-age Representative Clare Hoffman, "has been liquidated and is about to be buried"), but even these yowls seemed almost perfunctory. Serious, intense Meade Alcorn, who neither drinks nor smokes, has little of retiring Len Hall's ebullience, but he brings to the job a record for action. Born in Suffield, Conn., he attended Dartmouth, there broke the world's record for the 60-yd. low hurdles. (His 6.9-sec. mark has since been lowered to 6.8.) He graduated Phi Beta Kappa, moved...

At Miami's Orange Bowl, a Northern eleven, led by Oklahoma's All-America Halfback Tommy McDonald and leaning heavily on the good passing arm of Purdue's Len Dawson, beat the pride of the South, 17-7. At San Francisco's Kezar Stadium, Stanford's All-America Passer John Brodie joined forces with U.S.C.'s Jon Arnett and U.C.L.A.'s Pete O'Garro to lead his Western teammates to a 7-6 upset...
...Called Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall to the White House to find out why the Republican Party failed to carry Congress (see below). Assignment for Len Hall: gather and analyze all available information, then report back with a program for strengthening the G.O.P. to suit the Eisenhower doctrines of "Modern Republicanism...
