...last week France's Michel Jazy found himself confronted with two new challengers who could hardly be more dissimilar. In Wanganui, New Zealand, East Germany's Jurgen May beat Kenya's Kipchoge Keino by a bare .3 sec. in the second fastest mile ever run: 3 min. 53.8 sec., just .2 sec. off the still unrecognized record that Jazy set last June...
...strength for a final kick to the tape. He did precisely the same thing in a rematch last week at Auckland: dogging Keino's footsteps for most of the race, he turned it on in the last 20 yds. to win by 3 ft. in 3 min. 54.1 sec.-tying the listed world record held by New Zealand's own Peter Snell. Twice was too much for Keino. "I am going back to Kenya and learn how to sprint the last lap," he said. "Just wait-I am going to get that record." Snell, who was a spectator...
...State Teachers facing the Chicago Bears. The A.F.L.'s players were mostly second-rate collegians, or castoffs from Canada and the N.F.L. - and the sandlot football they played bore scant resemblance to the tightly disciplined N.F.L. brand.

punt return- and the Bears clawed the Packers 31-10. Minnesota was leading Chicago 37-31 with only 2 min. 18 sec left when Gale gathered in a kickoff on his own 4-yd. line, set sail up the sideline, and simply outran everybody to the goal line. Against the New York Giants last week, Sayers demonstrated the perfect way to run one of pro foot ball's prettiest plays: the halfback option. In the first quarter he started around end, stopped dead in his tracks, and flipped a pass to End Dick Gordon...
...Hawkins, 21, Arizona State, 6 ft. 1 in., 176 lbs. Playing strictly on defense, Rassas was Notre Dame's top ground gainer-running back six interceptions for 197 yds., returning 19 punts for 435 yds. A two-way player who averaged 50 min. of action per game, Hawkins runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.7 sec. Naturally, that impresses the pros. So does his "ability to improvise when standard defensive patterns fail...
