Scoreboard

P: In London, British Middleweight (160 Ibs.) Champion Randy Turpin* scored a dull but decisive 15-round decision over France's Charles Humez. To settle the succession to the world title, vacated when Sugar Ray Robinson retired, Turpin will next meet the winner of the coming fight between Carl ("Bobo") Olson and Paddy Young.

P: In Manhattan, World Lightweight (135 Ibs.) Champion Jimmy Carter, a 29-year-old plodder, knocked out George Araujo, a 22-year-old prancer, in the 13th round, for Carter's sixth victory in seven title fights.

P: At New London, Conn., in the U.S.'s oldest (101 years) intercollegiate contest, Harvard's smooth-stroking oarsmen whipped a heavier Yale crew by 2 1/2 lengths over the four-mile Thames River course.

P: At Chantilly, France's Roger Lagarde beat Britain's Harry Bentley, 2 and 1, for the French Amateur Golf Championship, ending a two-year U.S. monopoly. Veteran Bentley had won the title twice before young (19) Lagarde was born.

P: At Chiswick, England, wiry (128 Ibs.) Jim Peters, 34, ran the fastest time ever recorded for the marathon distance of 26 miles, 385 yards. Peters covered the course in 2:18:40.2, nearly eleven seconds faster than the best previous time set by Japan's Keizo Yamada at the Boston Marathon last April.

P: At Compton, Calif., Discus Thrower Fortune Gordien set a new American record of 186 ft. 2 1/4 in., just 8 3/4 in. shy of the world record he set in Finland in 1949.
