...Race Horses. As the most successful U.S. college recruiter of Canadian talent, Denver's natty Murray Armstrong makes no apologies for the tactic that has won 98 of 140 games, last year turned out a team that beat the Olympic squads of the U.S. (which won a gold medal at Squaw Valley), West Germany and Sweden. A Canadian himself, Coach Armstrong coolly cites the lesson he learned during his career as a National Hockey League player: "The key to success in any athletics is recruiting.

He has repudiated Ezra Benson. McGovern, a deceptively soft-talking former history professor (and World War II 6-24 pilot with D.F.C., the air medal and three oakleaf clusters), offers his own farm program, attacks Mundt for his position on rural electrification, and even reminds him of his vote against the fortification of Guam before Pearl Harbor. Methodist McGovern's early edge has washed away in the religion reaction against Kennedy. It will...
