Scoreboard

P:When his uninspired crew of tennists' showed surprising signs of life and breezed past the Philippines, 5-0, U.S. Davis Cup Captain Bill Talbert showed surprising signs of assurance. "This is the way we intended it," said Talbert, shrugging off his team's sad showing in earlier Australian tournaments. "Seixas is 34, Flam 29, and Mulloy 44. Younger men might hold form for long periods, older men, no. So I did not want them to be at a fine peak before now." Then his old men barely squeaked by Belgium (3-2) and staggered into the challenge for the cup. Piqued by the disappearance of their peak, Talbert looked toward such untried youngsters as Barry MacKay, 22, and Ron Holmberg, 19, to make the Aussies work for Mr. Davis' punch bowl.

P:His underrated squad was figured to be no better than fourth in the Big Ten, but Ohio State Football Coach Wayne Wood-row ("Woody") Hayes picked up the pieces after a first-game loss to Texas Christian and put together a team that did not lose another game. Their 8-1 record not only won the Buckeyes the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl, it won Woody election by members of the American Football Coaches Association as Coach of the Year.

P:Although they tied Texas' Highland Park High School Scotties, 20-20, in a football game in the Cotton Bowl, the Abilene High School Eagles (TIME, Nov. 4) were double losers. Their 49-game winning streak was finally ended, and the special scoring rules used by the league cost them a shot at the Texas high school championship. Because the Scotties had penetrated their opponents' 20-yd. line five times to the Eagles' three, Highland Park was awarded a technical victory, although in the record book the game remains a tie.
