...Australia's Ron Clarke, 27: a wind-whipped, three-mile race at Melbourne's Olympic Park, in the world-record time of 13 min. 7.6 sec.-clipping 2.4 sec. off the old mark held by New Zealand's Murray Halberg, who trailed Clarke through the tape by 150 yds. Peter Snell failed in his attempt to break his own world record for the mile (3 min. 54.1 sec.), still clocked 3 min. 57.6 sec.-the eleventh time the muscular New Zealander has cracked 4 min...
...Rose Bowl!" With only 41 min. left, Parseghian decided to eat up the clock' But now the aroused Trojans held for downs, got the ball back on the Notre Dame 40, and went to desperate work A run failed, two passes fell incomplete. Finally, on fourth down, chased by Irish blitzers, Fertig threw to Sherman, who skipped into the end zone for the TD that made it Southern Cal 20 Notre Dame 17. The clock read 1 min...
...cheers started when Snell breezed through the first quarter in 56 sec. They became a roar when he turned the half-mile in 1 min. 54 sec., setting his own blazing pace, running easily in that long, loping stride of his. At that rate, he would have an incredible 3-min. 48-sec. mile-if Odlozil and Davies could drive him on. Then Snell started to pull away-5 yds., 10 yds., 15 yds.

...Tokyo Olympics he became the first man in 44 years to win gold medals for both the 800 meters and the metric mile (1,500 meters) - and then he announced that he intended to clip more than 4 sec. off his mile record by running the distance in 3 min. 50 sec. Last week, before 20,000 homefolks in Auckland, Snell gave it a gallant try. Ranged against him were Czechoslovakia's Josef Odlozil, silver-medal winner in the Olympic 1,500, and New Zealand's own John Davies, who won the bronze. With the possible exception...
Brokenhearted. Stanford was next: the Indians did not reach midfield in the whole first half, did not get a first down until 7 min. into the second, and fell 28-6. But one tearful Irish lineman was still dissatisfied: "I was really brokenhearted when they got that touchdown," he said. Fully recovered from an early-season injury, Navy's brilliant Quarterback Roger Staubach did his best to stop the Irish rampage ?with 19 completions in 36 pass attempts. But Notre Dame's Huarte completed ten of 17 passes, and the score was the measure of the teams: Notre Dame...
