Who Won

> DeWayne ("Tiny") Lund, cocky, 265-Ib. stock-car racer who had never won a major championship: the $100,000 Daytona 500, by carefully conserving his fuel supply and wheeling his 1963 Ford sedan around the banked asphalt track at an average speed of 151.566 m.p.h. Lund earned the ride in the Ford when he risked his life to pull its intended driver. Marvin Panch, from the flaming wreckage of a Ford-engined Maserati during a practice run. The badly burned Panch asked that Lund be allowed to take his place as a reward. Lund's share of the prize: $10,720, 10% of which he gave to the hospitalized Panch.

> Jonny Nilsson, 19. stubby-legged student engineer from Filipstad, Sweden: three new world records at the world speed skating championships in Karuizawa, Japan. Gliding happily through a blinding blizzard that coated him with snow and slowed down his rivals, the unheralded Nilsson sped 10,000 meters in 15 min. 33 sec., won the 5,000 meters in 7 min. 34.3 sec., and set yet another record by winning the all-events championship with the best score ever.

> Canada's acrobatic Donald McPherson. 18: the men's figure skating title at the world championships in Cortina, Italy. Trailing in fourth place, 38 points behind after the compulsory "school figures." McPherson grimly took to the ice in 5DEG cold, put on a dazzling display of free skating that drew scores as high as 5.9 (perfect: 6.0) from the judges.

> St. Louis' durable, blonde Carol Hanks. 19: the National Indoor singles, doubles and mixed doubles tennis titles--a clean sweep--at Longwood Covered Courts in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Carol teamed with Chauncey Steele III in the mixed doubles and with home-town Friend Mary Ann Eisel, 16, in the doubles, needed only 36 min. to dust off Mary Ann, 6-2, 6-2. in the singles final.
