...college try. His enthusiasm is infectious, spreads to phlegmatic veterans as well as impressionable rookies. One second-stringer said last week: "Bucky tries so hard to win it seems a crime not to pitch in with a few yelps yourself." The same player, who makes his share of mistakes, added: "He never second-guesses a physical error, just never mentions them.

Last week, Federal Judge Phillip Forman, at Trenton, N.J., was considering the Government's demand for a drastic penalty.
