O’Connell of Montana, can qualify for any all-star football team that might be picked among the leg- islators. Mr. Boren was an end and Mr. O'- Connell a halfback. And football is not all they have in common. Each is 27, and both are bridegrooms, married since Christmas. Mr. Boren figures he has more preminent baseball players among his constituents than any other member of Congress. They include Carl Hubbell, the Waner brothers, Cy Blanton and Dizzy and Daffy Dean. He knows most i them per- scnally. He was a college boxer and tennis player. Mr. O'Connell played championship football teams of Mount Carroll College, Montana.
