...Richard Nixon is to hid successfully for a second term in the White House, one of the key states he needs in November 1972 is Ohio; no Republican President has ever been elected without carrying it. Hardly a secret to the G.O.P.. that axiom of American politics weighs most painfully at present in the mind of a Democrat. Ohio's red-haired Governor, John J. Gilligan. He faces a tough dilemma. Before he can hope to mount an effective campaign against a Republican presidential drive in his own state, he must make a crucial decision about which...
...declare support for one of the Democratic candidates or to remain uncommitted by asserting his own candidacy as a favorite son. Either course promises to be a rough one for Gilligan. By opting for one candidate, he would be dispersing the bargaining power of the 153-man Ohio delegation, fifth largest at the convention.

This would result in a run on the campaign chests of hard-pressed Democrats of perhaps as much as $500,000 per candidate, and a bloody splintering of the state Democratic organization into brawling fiefdoms. It would also divert some of Muskie's energies from the similarly critical primaries of Oregon and California...
CENTER. Tom DeLeone, Ohio State, 6 ft. 2 in., 227 Ibs. Big college∧ centers are so hard to find that the pros often groom a college guard or tackl^tor the position. The best of a mediocre lot, De-Leone should make it in the N.F.L., provided that he packs on a few more pounds. Rated an "excellent long snapper," he never once misfired on a pass from center this season...
