Embree and Ajootian accounted for all of the thinclads' meet total of six points, good for a 14th place tie with Hawaii, Wisconsin and Lousiana State. Texas ElPaso won the team title for an unprecedented third straight year while Villanova, which took third in the IC4A meet last weekend, was runner...
...week for a long and bruising slugfest. Jimmy Carter, Henry Jackson and George Wallace were tirelessly crisscrossing Florida for this week's primary; Morris Udall was gamely trying to pull together the party's liberals before his next major outings on April 6 in New York and Wisconsin. Thus for the moment the candidates were still hoping to win the fight on points by picking up enough delegates in the party's caucuses and primaries to gain an overwhelming advantage at the convention in July...
Serious Problem. Both Jackson and Udall are in effect sitting out Illinois and face the serious problem of keeping their campaigns moving forward in the weeks before April 6, the date of the New York and Wisconsin primaries. Udall will spend the time replenishing his treasury, which was sorely depleted in Massachusetts, and beefing up his campaign organization, particularly in New York. Jackson also will devote much of his time to New York, where he has spent months building strength among moderate and conservative voters and putting together the same kind of organization that brought him victory...
...relatively lonely position in 1974. That was when he started out for the presidency, a feat not accomplished from the House since James Garfield did it in 1880.

Still, his early start, unflagging drive and shrewd campaigning attracted a good volunteer organization, the backing of Democratic intellectuals like Harvard Professor John Kenneth Galbraith, and many of the old McGovern-McCarthy liberal legions...
...financial crunch is hard on candidates as well as on cities. Bayh has closed shop, Harris is suspending activity for two months to raise money, Udall is spending the next month before Wisconsin soliciting funds, Wallace owes hundreds of thousands to his direct-mail firm, Carter is out there hustling short on cash. Jackson is no exception--he had $1.5 million cash on hand as of February 1--on February...
