...scene of Brown's effort was the Western Governors' Conference at Idaho's handsome Sun Valley Lodge. Briefed by political scouts back from neighboring statehouses, Brown hustled into Sun Valley, went to work on the other arriving Democratic Governors: Washington's Albert Rosellini, Nevada's Grant Sawyer, New Mexico's John Burroughs and Colorado's Stephen L.

At the same time, in New Haven, Yale's much larger "Bowl" was comfortably filled for a game with Brown that held only slightly more interest. The difference: Yale invites Connecticut Boy Scouts, church youth groups, and miscellaneous youngsters' organizations to attend this early season event at a minimum rate, charging twenty-five cents apiece for the kids and slightly higher prices for their leaders...
