BRITISH OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP (ABC, 10:30 to noon). The final round of the 96th British Open, live via satellite from the Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake, with everyone gunning for Defending Champion-and U.S. Open Kingpin-Jack Nicklaus...
Harvard University has not fielded a national championship team in football since 1919. It has never won even an Ivy League title in basketball, and its tiddlywinks team is 0-for-one against Oxford. So the record of the Crimson crew is somewhat irregular. No college crew has beaten Harvard's varsity in more than four years, and nobody at all has beaten this year's crew...
Reasonable & Real. A onetime No. 2 oar at Penn who shifted to single sculls after college, won the national championship and a Pan American Games gold medal in 1959, Parker says: "What I look for is somebody with reasonable size and a very real interest in athletics."

As a fighter he was a joke, but fixed bouts and blaring publicity led to a payday championship match with the slipping Jack Sharkey. Incredibly, Camera won-on a lucky sixth-round knockout. He lasted only a year, until Max Baer took away his title with eleven knockdowns in eleven rounds. Camera returned to Italy penniless, his purses siphoned away by his handlers, finally settling into a clownish career...
