Scoreboard

P: From the opening kickoff, Navy Halfback Joe Bellino (TIME, Oct. 24) dominated the big game against Army. The low-slung (5 ft. 9 in., 181 Ibs.) Navy star scuttled around tacklers on a 58-yd. run from his own 1-yd. line, later scored on a 4-yd. end sweep. Half-time score: Navy 17, Army 0. Then Army rallied for two touchdowns, and suddenly Bellino was in danger of becoming the Navy goat when he fumbled the ball. But when Army tried a long pass in the closing seconds, there was Bellino to intercept on the one, run back the ball for 44 yds. and preserve a 17-12 victory for Navy. After the game, Navy accepted an invitation to play Missouri in the Orange Bowl. P: Bouncing into the air like a giant Pogo stick, the Philadelphia Warriors' skyscraping (7 ft. 2 in., 260 Ibs.) Wilt Chamberlain grabbed 55 rebounds to break the N.B.A. record by four in the skill the pros value almost as highly as scoring itself. But while Chamberlain also scored 34 points, he could not avert his team's 132-129 loss to the champion Boston Celtics.

P: Baseball's rookie-of-the-year awards went to a pair of powerful youngsters who forgot about their averages and swung for the fences: in the National League, Los Angeles' Outfielder Frank Howard (6 ft. 7 in., 245 Ibs.), 24, batted .268 but hit 23 home runs and drove in 77 runs; in the American League, Baltimore's Shortstop Ron Hansen (6 ft. 3 in., 190 Ibs.), 22, batted .255 but hit 22 home runs and drove in 86 runs.
