Scoreboard
P:No one at Britain's Henley Royal Regatta was surprised that the Yale and Cornell crews had crossed the Atlantic just to continue their bitter private rivalry. Each was out to prove its superiority once and for all. Last season Yale edged Cornell in the Olympic trials, went on to win a Gold Medal at Melbourne. This year the veteran Cornell shell had twice beaten the Olympic champs. Last week Cornell looked stronger than ever, sprinted the last 30 strokes to win by half a length. Shrugged Yale Coach Jim Rathschmidt: "I'm afraid we have to admit that Cornell is the faster crew."
P:After Yale had refused to guarantee him a steady diet of such dishes as sunflower seeds and carrot juice, Australia's Olympic Swimming Champ Murray Rose, 18, a resolute vegetarian, decided to sample higher education elsewhere, perhaps at the University of Southern California. "At U.S.C. they are willing to feed me whatever I want," explained Rose.
P:Grinning broadly, South Africa's red-faced Bobby Locke, 39, casually flicked in an 18-in. putt on the last hole at St. Andrews' Royal and Ancient Club to win his fourth British Open. Locke's score for 72 holes: 279, nine under par.
