Scoreboard

P: For the first two-thirds of the three-mile I.R.A. regatta, Cornell's varsity crew had a hard time getting any real run on its boat. Then Stroke Phil Gravink pushed the beat to 32 and the Big Red shell began to skip across wind-chopped Lake Onondaga. Cornell crossed the finish line 12 lengths ahead of Penn. pulling away so fast that its third successive I.R.A. triumph looked deceptively easy.

P:When the Colorado State Athletic Commission decided to allow Lightweight Champion Joe Brown and Challenger Orlando Zulueta to use 6-oz. instead of 8-oz. gloves for their title tight in Denver, Zulueta's manager, Hymie ("The Mink") Wallman, screamed like a mink. Light gloves, insisted Hymie, were made to order for a slugger like Brown. They seemed to be. Brown waded into Zulueta's flicking jab for 13 rounds, then dropped him for a count of nine. The challenger went down again in the 15th, and Slugger Joe Brown held on to his title with a T.K.O.

P: Having already decided that he had no more good mile races left in his system for this season, Don Bowden, the only better-than-four-minute miler in the U.S., traveled to the National A.A.U. championships in Dayton and ran a slow third behind Australia's Merv Lincoln (4:06.1) and U.C.L.A. Senior Bob Seaman. In the 440-yd. run, remarkable Reggie Pearman, 33, ran the fastest quarter mile of his life (0:46.4) to win the title just ten years after he won his first A.A.U. championship by beating Mal Whitfield in the 880.

P:On the day after her 54th birthday, Glenna Collett Vare, six times women's amateur golf champion, played a 36-hole match with Rhode Island Champion Joan Bobel, 19, won two-and-one, and took back the state title she last held 36 years ago.

P: In the ninth inning of a game with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Johnny Temple, Cincinnati Redleg second baseman, let a hot grounder sizzle through his legs, looked up to see the Scoreboard flash "error." and began a slow burn. After the Redlegs lost in the 11th, 3-2. Temple spotted the official scorer, Sportswriter Earl Lawson, in the clubhouse. "What was I supposed to do with that ball?" snapped Temple. "Shove it in my ear?" Said Lawson: "Grow up, John." Temple started swinging. The brief fracas cost Lawson one black eye. Temple a temper-cooling $100 fine.
