P:At Perth, Australia, Miler John Landy fell far short in his bid for the four-minute mile. His winning time (4:04.2), posted on a grass track, was well behind his best effort (4:02.1), set last month over a hard-packed, windy course.

P:At the Philadelphia Inquirer Games, Navy Lieut. (j.g.) Ken Wiesner, Olympic runner-up, went up & over the high-jump bar for a world indoor record of 6 ft. 9 1/2 in.-- 1/4 inch above the old (1937) record set by a fellow Marquette graduate Ed Burke.

P:In New Orleans, the Louisiana State Athletic Commission got around to throwing out a 60-year-old rule that prohibited Negro and white boxers from appearing on the same program. The commission was quick to point out, however, that "mixed' bouts are still unlawful.

P:At St. Andrews, Scotland, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club settled an ancient question: Is a caddy a professional? Yes said the R. & A., if he is 21 and carrying clubs is his main source of income.

P:In California, the Fish & Game Department counted up the cost of ammunition, transportation and equipment, figured that it cost local hunters at least $2.50 a lb. for a venison steak. Included in the price tag, however, were some intangible assets: "A healthy, open-air venture, congenial friends who talk the same language, and the chance to change the everyday routine of living--even if it only means getting away from the wife for a day."

P:At West Point and South Bend, Ind., a joint statement announced resumption of a football rivalry that has long claimed the vociferous attention of the nation's largest body of subway alumni. After a ten-year lapse, Army will meet Notre Dame again, this time in a home & home series: at Notre Dame Stadium (capacity: 56,000) in 1957; at Army's Michie Stadium (capacity: 27,000) in 1958.

P:In Los Angeles, Actor Cameron Mitchell, having a miserable day on the golf course, disconsolately whacked the ball with his putter from the 15th tee. The ball hit at mid-fairway, took a couple of bounces, skittered on to the green, and trickled into the cup for a hole in one and the longest putt on record: 576 feet.
