Who Won

P: The Michigan State football team, rated No. 1 by U.S. coaches and sportswriters, its 19th straight victory, mostly with its second and third team (61 players saw action), over outclassed Syracuse, 48-7; Maryland's Terrapins, ranked No. 2 by the writers. No. 3 by the coaches, its 17th in a row, over unbeaten Navy, 38-7; California, rated up with Maryland, a breather with Santa Clara, 27-7; the U.S.'s No. 4 team, Georgia Tech, over Auburn. 33-0; resurgent Pitt over Army, despite a furious fourth-quarter rally, 22-14; Minnesota, a 20-point underdog, an upset over fading Illinois, 13-7, to tie Purdue for the Big Ten lead.

P: Challenger Jimmy Carter, a unanimous 15-round decision over Lightweight Champion Lauro Salas, to regain the title he lost to Salas last May; in Chicago. Salas, planning to keep his crown the same way he won it--by covering up in the early rounds and letting Carter tire--never got a chance to try such tactics. Carter blasted his way in, hurt Salas in Rounds 3 & 7, was the aggressor in all rounds except Nos. 11 & 12, when Salas rallied. Toward the end, far ahead on points, Carter coasted to victory.
