...just one vote-to be determined by a simple majority of the delegation. There are now 29 Democratic-controlled delegations in the House, with 18 controlled by Republicans, and three evenly split (a tied vote in a delegation neutralizes it). Yet 30 delegations are so closely divided that the shift of a single seat in November could change their makeup to Democratic, Republican or neutral. With the votes of 26 of the 50 House delegations needed to choose a President, the G.O.P. could increase its present control from 18 delegations to the required majority by simply electing one new Congressman...
...controversial decision of Tiger manager Mayo Smith to shift Mickey Stanley from center field to short-stop could decide the series. Smith will be sacrificing defensive strength to allow Al Kaline to move into the lineup. Kaline, one of the most respected outfielders of all-time, saw only limited action this season.

...second shift that should pay belated dividends has Fritz Reed, one of two junior lettermen, moving from end to tackle. Reed's adjustment to tackle, which should have been easy since he is 6'2", 225 lbs., and was rated as a better blocker than pass receiver, is set back due to a nerve injury which is affecting his left arm and will keep him out of action for an unknown period. The odds are that his recovery will be in time for Holy Cross, the openning game...
