Scoreboard

P: Fresh from winning a gold medal at the Eighth Winter Olympics in California's Squaw Valley, blonde Carol Heiss, 20, stopped off in Vancouver long enough on her way home to New York City to win her fifth straight women's world figure skating championship with a stunning display of acrobatics and poise.

P: For months the athletic directors of the Midwest's Big Ten, the nation's toughest conference across the board, have feuded with faculties determined to tone down the heavy emphasis on sports. Last week faculty representatives voted to cancel the 14-year pact with the Rose Bowl (where Big Ten teams won twelve times). In an apparent fit of petulance, the athletic directors then recommended abolishing all post-season competition in all sports, including the prestigious N.C.A.A. championships in basketball, swimming and track. The faculty representatives promptly supported the proposal. If finally ratified by the individual universities, the ban would confine Big Ten teams to winning the championship of none but their own conference, strike a mighty blow for de-emphasis in the current nationwide struggle to define the proper role of sport on campus.

P:Rarely have All-America selectors agreed so unanimously on the nation's finest college basketball players. The four solid choices: Cincinnati's record-scoring Oscar Robertson (6 ft. 5 in., 198 lbs.), West Virginia's driving, versatile Jerry West (6 ft. 3 in., 175 lbs.), Ohio State's precocious sophomore Jerry Lucas (6 ft. 7 1/2 in., 228 lbs.), and California's defensive star Darrall Imhoff (6 ft. 10 in., 210 lbs.). Top alternates for the fifth position: St. John's brilliant but erratic Tony Jackson; St. Bonaventure's high-scoring Tom Stith.
