Scoreboard

P: Although only Team Captain Charley Pratt won an individual event (60-yd. high hurdles), Manhattan College's trackmen ran off with enough third places to take the 34th annual intercollegiate A.A.A.A. championship. Deciding event: the two-mile relay (won by Syracuse U.), in which Manhattan's anchor man, Tom Lindgren, took time out between heats to rush his pregnant wife to a hospital,* came back to help earn a vital third. Final scores: Manhattan 27, Villanova 22 1/2, Penn State 18.

P: At Hialeah, Fla., Belair Stud's favorite son, Nashua, needed Eddie Arcaro's whip to remind him of his work before he romped home, winner by a length and a half in the $141,800 Flamingo Stakes.

P: In Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, Sandy Saddler, an animated skeleton who has changed prizefighting into assault with all available weapons--feet, forearms, elbows and head--pummeled an overmatched contender named Red Top Davis for 15 rounds, and hung on to what passes for the featherweight championship of the world.

P: At Ann Arbor, a University of Michigan free styler, Jack Wardrop, splashed 220 yds. in world record time (2:03.9), finished ahead of Ohio State's flipper-finned Hawaiian, Ford Konno, the previous record holder, and edged his team to a one-point (47-46) victory.
