Postponed Sports Across Nation In Kennedy Mourning
Weekend sports were largely delayed in memory of President Kennedy. Many college games were postponed while the NFL and AFL scheduled few contests. Some events, including seven NFL games, and Pimlico racing, went on or planned resumes later. Players on the Eagles were fined after a sideline altercation over continuing a game with the Redskins. Rex Baxter Jr. won a Cajun golf round as others paused for the national tragedy.
