Scoreboard

P: C. V. Whitney's Head Man, with Eddie Arcaro up, trailed Winding Way Farm's Golf Ace the entire mile and a furlong distance in the $61,000 Wood Memorial Stakes at Jamaica, finished 2 1/2 lengths back, but was awarded first place after films showed Golf Ace bore out and cut off Head Man in the stretch. After the race, Arcaro agreed to ride Head Man in the Kentucky Derby next week at Churchill Downs, where highly favored Needles and Career Boy are already working out. P: While World Champion Shotputter Parry O'Brien outtossed Newcomer Bill Nieder (60 ft. 2 1/8 in. v. 59 ft. 7 1/8 in.) in the feature event at the 31st annual Kansas Relays, a University of Texas team whirled to a new world record in the 440-yard relay. George Schneider, Jerry Prewit, Bobby Whilden and Frank Daugherty ran the quarter-mile in 40.1, a tenth of a second under the world mark set last May. P: Understroking Pennsylvania all the way, Princeton's varsity crew whipped the Quakers by a length and a quarter in the two-mile Childs Cup Regatta on New York's Harlem River. Added to its impressive victory over Navy and Navy's resuscitated 1952 world champions (TIME, April 23), the performance established Princeton as a leading contender for the U.S. Olympic rowing assignment.
