The making of
0 0 "
... a precedent
IT HAS been traditional since the advent of the Daily's Gridde
Pickings contest to invite some nationally known figure to
enumerate his choices for each week's games. In the past such
notable figures as Johnny Cash, Senator Henry (Scoop) Jack-
son, Elroy (Crazylegs) Hirsch, and a reserve fullback for Ohio
+ State have served as selectors for the contest.
In keeping with this great tradition of guest selectors, it was
decided to try to contact our beloved President, Richard Mil-
hous Nixon. If I were unable to contact the President, I would
then attempt to reach Herbert Klein, Nixon's Director of
Communicatiors. This was not as farfetched an idea as it
might appear; since earlier this summer we had written to the
former Vice-President twice and received answers from Mr
Klein each time.
THE FIRST LETTER invited Nixon, who had previously ex-
pressed interest in becoming a sportswriter, to join the Daily
Sports staff as a trainee.
Klein refused this offer by noting that the President's
"current contract with the American people has some time to
go." The sports staff took full cognizance of this problem and
offered the onetime unsuccessful Republican candidate for
governor of California the same position beginning in January
1973. At the same time an offer was broached to allow Mr.
Nixon to participate in the staff's football pool,
KLEIN'S RESPONSE this time ignored the job offer, and
sidestepped the opportunity to pick the games. It was decided,
however, not to' take this response as final, and Tuesday
morning, list of games in hand (They appear elsewhere on these
pages), I called the formerWall Street lawyer, or at least I
tried to.
After I asked the operator to place a person-to-person phone
call to Herbert Klein. The operator then asked me to hold
and I proceeded to do just that for about ten minutes, undoubt-
edly enough time to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
put a tap on the call. Eventually I was connected with the White
House switchboard, which quickly connected me with one of Mr.
Klein's secretaries, who put me on hold for another five minutes,
and then asked me to'explain the reason for my call.
Now this was a slight problem - have you ever tried to tell
some secretary that you would like to have the President make
some football predictions? Well believe me, it's not easy.
In any case, the secretary connected me with one of Klein's
assistants. After I explained the purpose of my call, he killed
our last hopes of securing Nixon as a guest selector, saying,
"The President would be too busy to do something like that."
I then tried to secute Mr. Klein as a selector, since he had
zealous in answering our letters to the President. Klein's
assistant said this might be possible, and indicated that Klein
would call me back if it were possible.
THREE HOURS LATER, after failing to'receive the return
call, I tried to call Klein again, but I met with failure once
again.
The President's reluctance to reveal his football predictions
is not extremely difficult to understand. Last season you may
recall Mr..Nixon became the center of the controversy when he
predicted Texas would topple Arkansas, and then named Texas
the national champion. The actions aroused the ire of Arkansas
and Penn State partisans, and prompted irate letters from poli-
ticians in Arkansas and Pennsylvania. Those troubles resulted
4 from his interest in one game; imagine his problems if he had
to announce his prognostications*on twenty games a week.
Nixon would have to worry about alienating the supporters of
at least twenty teams unless he elected to predict a number
of ties - a move which might just confirm the opinion that
the President is by nature indecisive.
But the President need not worry, the Daily Sports staff
* will always keep a position open for him.

NEW YORK - Cleon Jones
ripped a run-scoring triple in the
14th inning, giving the New York
Mets a 3-2 triumph over the Phila-
delphia Phillies yesterday, re-
maining in a tie for first place in
the torrid National League East
with the New York Mets.
Jones drove his hit off the"
right-center field wall, scoring
Tommie Agee who had opened the
inning with a single. Reliever Joe
Hoerner, 9-4, then got Wayne Gar-
rett on a fly ball before Jones de-
livered.
Ron Herbel, 9-5, with one in-
ning of scoreless relief, picked
up his second victory as a Met
since being obtained from Sanj
Diego.
Danny Frisella had hurled five
scoreless innings for the Mets-
ninth through 13th--allowing one
hit while Dick Selma held New
York to one hit and no runs in
four innings, leaving after the
12th, giving up one hit and strik-
ing out six.

PITTSBURGH - Luke Walker

The world is full of losers. West Quad is a loser. Hubert Humph-
rey is a loser. Woody Hayes is a loser.
Orval Faubus, six-time governor of the state of Arkansas and
one-time mayor of Dogpatch, U.S.A., was, alas, defeated this week
in his bid to return to the governor's mansion from which he gained
great glory.
All is not lost, however. If his pickings, listed below, turn out
to be better than your pickings (And who knows? Maybe Alabama
will beat USC), he will win himself a steaming hot Cottage Inn
Pizza, delivered direct to his door by the United States Post
Office.
Don't be a loser! Beat Orval Faubus to the pizza! Make him
and walked one in snapping the
Pirates out of a three-game los-
ing string.
Stargell drilled a bases-empty
homer over the right center field
wall of f Nelson Briles, 5-6, in
the second inning.
The Pirates added an insurance
run in the fourth on Al Oliver's
leadoff double, Stargell's ground
out and a sacrifice fly by Bob
Robertson.
Walker limited the Cardinals
to singles by Dal Maxvill in the
third inning and Jim B e a u-
champ in the fifth.
Cubs romp
CHICAGO - Ernie Banks"
three-run homer, after two sacri-
fice bunt tries in the fourth,
broke a 2-2 tie and led the Chi-
cago Cubs to a 9-3 victory over
the Montreal Expos to keep the
Cubs in the thick of the torrid
National League East race yester-
day.
. The 39-year-old Banks also
singled across a fourth run in the
seventh and received a standing
ovation when he left for a pinch-
runner in that inning.
Chicago's Milt Pappas, who re-
quested the start after only two
days' rest, got his 12th 'victory
against seven defeats, leaving for
a pinchhitter in the sixth with the
Cubs ahead 7-3.
Pappas yielded four hits, i n-i
eluding Rusty Staub's solo homer
in the sixth, and gave up a -pair
of unearned runs in the fourth.'
Glenn Doughty, Wolverine
tailback who missed this year's
Rose Bowl game due to a knee
injury, will be ready to play in
this week's intrasquad scrim-
mage
The Detroit Pershing pro-
duct, who re-injuied that same
knee earlier this month, will
be at top strength for the sea-
son opener.
