Scoreboard

P: A couple of Olympic champions, Ron Delany and Tom Courtney, ran away with everything but the starter's gun at the 68th annual Boston Athletic Association games. Loping along just back of the pacesetters in the 600-yd. run, Fordham Alumnus Courtney shifted into high on the backstretch of the next-to-last lap, shot into the lead and finished 20 yds. in front of Villanova's Joe Gaffney, who now runs for the Army. It all seemed so easy that even Tom was surprised to hear his time: a world-record-equaling 1:09.5. In the mile, Ron Delany, the Irish Olympian out of Villanova, loafed along in fourth and fifth place, leaving the crowd to wonder whether a long bout with virus and the banquet circuit had sapped his stamina. On the next-to-last lap he kicked into his sprint and supplied the answer. Looking over his shoulder at U.C.L.A.'s Bobby Seaman, 6 yds. back, Delany won in 4:07.5.

P: After 7-ft. Wilt Chamberlain and his University of Kansas playmates took a stunning 39-37 beating from Iowa State, Kansas Basketball Coach Dick Harp went into seclusion with a set of chessmen to work out the right moves for the return match. When the Iowa Cyclones came back to Kansas, Chessman Chamberlain slipped out from his post position under the basket, pulled three Iowa defensemen to the foul line with him, gave his teammates room to drive in for scores. While "Wilt the Stilt" settled for only four field goals, Kansas won 75-64, all but took possession of the Big Seven title and probably earned back its No. 1 intercollegiate ranking as well.

P: Horseplayers all over the U.S. groaned to learn that Postmaster General Summerfield has forbidden the use of the U.S. mails to Mexico's Caliente Future Book. Otherwise restricted to on-course pari-mutuel betting or illegal off-course bookmakers, Caliente's bettors could formerly mail a bet to the Mexican book months in advance of such big stakes as the Garden State or the Kentucky Derby, pick their horse from a long list of possible entries at odds as high as 1,000 to 1, get back 10% of their bet if their horse simply started. If an added starter, not on the Caliente list, beat a bettor out of the money, Caliente paid off anyway.
