Scoreboard

P: Although Manhattan College's defending champions won only two gold medals (broad jump and shotput), they finished in the money in ten out of 13 events at I.C-4-A track and field championships in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, and piled up 36 points--enough to hang on to their title. Second: Villanova, with five firsts and a total of 34 points.

P: Moving up from 14th place in a field of 15, Florida-bred Needles threaded neatly through openings on the second turn, swung wide to come around horses and win the $148,800 Flamingo Stakes at Florida's Hialeah race track by 2 3/4 lengths from the 24-10-1 long shot, Golf Ace. Given a five-pound weight advantage simply for running on a home-state track, the son of 1951 Kentucky Derby Winner Ponder was still impressive enough to become a front-runner in the winter book for this year's Kentucky Derby.

P: For the second time in three years no U.S. tennis player was good enough to get to the finals of the National Indoor Tennis championships. Playing the best tennis of his career, Sweden's young Ulf Schmidt upset his countryman Sven Davidson (1954's winner) in Manhattan, 6-1, 6-3, 8-10, 6-3.
