Scoreboard

P: Boston's Patriots' Day Marathon had its usual motley of cigar-smoking clowns, bicycle riders and beer-drinking college boys who dropped out of the race when they got to Wellesley. But after the show-offs were gone, pale, frail Franjo Mihalic, 36, a Yugoslav printer, outlegged all the other hoofers to win the 26-mile, 385-yd. grind in 2:25:54. Second: Boston's defending champion, John J. Kelley.

P: Pleading ill health, boxing's Mr. Big, James D. Norris, resigned his longtime job as president of the International Boxing Club. But he hung on to his job as president of the Madison Square Garden Corp., which owns every share of I.B.C. stock, thus remained the chief target of an antitrust judgment awaiting Supreme Court review and a grand-jury investigation of I.B.C. matchmaking. His successor at I.B.C.: Truman Gibson Jr., a Chicago Negro lawyer who represented ex-Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis.

P: From Oklahoma to New York, an eight-man team of Soviet wrestlers found only one American who could lick his weight in Russians. In the four-match tour, University of Iowa Alumnus Terry McCann, 23, U.S. 125 1/2 lb. champ, was the only U.S. wrestler to win any bouts. He won three, drew one.
