Scoreboard

P: A day of rain at Franconia, N.H. iced the steep trails of Cannon Mountain and sprinkled the slopes with upended skiers who tried just a little too hard for the national downhill championship. Tied for that dangerous honor, after navigating the tricky 1.6-mile course in 1:55.3, were two Dartmouth men: Undergraduate Chiharu ("Chick") Igaya and Olympic Veteran Bill Beck. Meanwhile, at North Conway, N.H., Olympic Champion Andrea Mead Lawrence took the women's downhill title after finishing second in the Olympic giant slalom tryout behind Betsy Snite, a 16-year-old Hanover high school junior.

P: Running with the same liquid grace that shakes off tacklers on the football field, University of Illinois Halfback Abe Woodson skimmed the 50-yd. high hurdles in 6.1 seconds to tie the world indoor record at the Milwaukee Journal track games.

P: Hard pressed for the first time this season, Yale's swimming team turned in a fast 3:23.6 (record-breaking for the Harvard pool) in the 400-yd. free-style relay to beat the Crimson, 44-40, win its 127th straight dual meet and its ninth straight Eastern Intercollegiate League championship.

P: Under glittering chandeliers in the grand ballroom of The Bronx's Concourse plaza Hotel, Cornell University fencers parlayed second place in foil, saber and epee competition to win the three-weapon title in the 58th annual Intercollegiate fencing Association championship.
