Who Won

>Italy's Walter Bonatti, 34: the first successful direttissima--straight up--ascent of the 14,701-ft. Matterhorn's north wall; in Switzerland. Two days after 60 m.p.h. winds forced Bonatti and two friends to abandon a similar assault, he was back on the mountain, alone, inching up the ice-covered rock that leans slightly from the perpendicular (TIME, Feb. 26). It was four days before he finally staggered onto the summit, briefly embraced a wrought-iron cross, then started the descent to Zermatt and a hero's welcome.

>Russia's Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, 26: the broad jump at the Golden Gate Invitational track meet, beating the U.S.'s Ralph Boston in the rubber match of their winter duel; at San Francisco. In two previous meets, each had won once, and the total margin between them was 1/4 in. This time Ter-Ovanesyan leaped 26 ft. 4 in., beat Boston by 8 1/4 in.

>Villanova: a 71-57 victory over No. 4-ranked Providence, winner of 19 straight and, before the game, basketball's only unbeaten major team; at Philadelphia. No. 1-ranked Michigan whipped Minnesota 91-78, and No. 2-ranked U.C.L.A. romped past Stanford 83-67. West Virginia (season's record: 12-14) pulled the upset of the week with a 74-72 victory over Davidson, which had won 23 in a row since losing its second game of the season.
