Scoreboard

P: At Hanover, N.H., by the slimmest of margins, the Dartmouth College ski team won its 20th victory in the 44-year-old history of its Winter Carnival. Dartmouth's skiers scored 560.9 points over Runner-Up New Hampshire (558.5), St. Lawrence (557.8) and Middlebury (557.3).

P: In Bad Gastein in the Austrian women's ski championships (and warming up for this month's world ski championships) the U.S.'s Jannette Burr of Seattle showed her heels to Europe's best, won both the slalom and the downhill competition, though, as a non-Austrian, she was ineligible for the titles.

P: Meeting in London, the International Amateur Athletic Federation approved 38 new track and field world records. Among the most important: three for Czech Marathoner Emil Zatopek, at six miles (28:08.4), 10,000 meters (29:01.6) and 30,000 meters (1:35:23.8); two for the U.S.'s Mai Whitfield, at the half mile (1:48.6) and 1,000 meters (2:20.8).

P: In Manhattan, the International Boxing Club, which controls fight arenas from coast to coast and is sometimes known as "Octopus Inc.," turned out to be a sport, not a business, just like baseball. U.S. District Court Judge Gregory F. Noonan, using the Supreme Court's recent baseball ruling as a precedent, threw out a federal monopoly case pressed under the antitrust act.

P: The New York Giants traded the man who won them a pennant in 1951. Outfielder Bobby Thomson, 30, whose ninth-inning play-off homer beat Brooklyn, went to the Milwaukee Braves for Pitcher Johnny Antonelli in a six-player deal.
