Scoreboard

P:Dead last going into the first turn at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course, Mrs. Halina Braunstein's three-year-old colt Royal Orbit, a 7-to-1 shot, swung wide at the head of the stretch, put on a great burst of speed, romped home a comfortable four lengths ahead to win the 83rd running of the Preakness Stakes and $136,200 for his joyful owner.

P:Harvard's varsity heavyweight crew lost its lead to Syracuse some 200 strokes from the finish line, then came on with a late burst to win by a scant 4 ft. in the 2,000-meter-sprint regatta of the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges on Lake Carnegie at Princeton, N.J. A length behind the leaders, Yale finished third--its first rowing defeat since 1957.

P:After a year of barnstorming with the Harlem Globetrotters, towering (7 ft. 2 in.) Wilt ("the Stilt") Chamberlain,22, two-time All-America at the University of Kansas (1957, 1958), signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Warriors of the National Basketball Association. His salary--more than $30,000--makes Chamberlain the highest-paid player in N.B.A. history.

P:At the tournament named for him and played on his home course at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., aging (46) Sam Snead, one of golf's most brilliant (and most erratic) pros, tore the Greenbrier course apart, had eleven one-putt greens, posted a fabulous 59. Eleven under par, it was the lowest score ever recorded in a major golf tournament. Though he has blown big leads in his time, this one was too much for his competitors, and Snead coasted to an eleven-stroke victory.
