...Pacific Coast-and came out swinging. In California, heartland of the Nixon-for-President movement, Rocky got a few bruises, changed hardly a vote. His luck was better in the friendlier climate of Washington and Oregon (Oregon's crucial primary will be held next May). But wherever he went. Rockefeller left the strong impression of a slugger who is going to wage an all-out campaign for the nomination he wants...

After the half, Kinney continued to play effectively, but the Bullpups began to pass and run through the Yardlings almost at will. They soon closed the gap to 24 to 22 and, minutes later, scored the clincher on a six-yard plunge by Dave Weinstein to remain undefeated...
