Glossiest train now running is Italy's Settebello, which barrels along at 98 m.p.h. between Rome and Milan, has cut the rail trip by two hours to 6 hr. 20 min. It carries only 160 passengers, and they can enjoy piped music, patronize the train's barber, manicurist, telephone, newsstand and shower. Despite a 45% surcharge, the Settebello is often sold...
Illinois (score 45-0), he played less than 17 min., still completed seven of eleven passes for 108 yds. and one touchdown. Next week it was Minnesota, and Myers threw four more touchdown passes in the 34-22 victory. His protection is often erratic, but he rarely gets rattled under fire. Ohio State tried to red-dog him, and when that failed to daunt Myers, Coach Woody Hayes ordered his defense to fan back and double-team Northwestern's receivers. Myers still completed 18 of 30 passes, and the Wildcats, behind 14-0 in the first quarter, roared back...
...Kevin Berry, 17-year-old Aussie swimming star: the 110-yd. and 220-yd. butterfly at the Melbourne trials for the British Empire Games, both in world record time. All told, Berry got credit for three new world records: his 2-min. 9.7-sec. clocking in the 220-yd. butterfly also bettered the mark for 200 meters. Another record breaker: 25-year-old Dawn Fraser, dean of Aussie women swimmers, who became the first woman to swim the 110-yd. freestyle in less than 1 min. Her time -59.9 sec.-also smashed the world record for 100 meters...
...Year in 1960 and 1961. Almost unnoticed by betters, who let him go off at 20-1, Beau Purple fought off Kelso's challenge to win by two lengths. Carry Back finished a badly beaten fifth. Beau Purple's time for the 1½-mi. race-2 min. 28 3/5 sec.-broke the track record, and his winner's purse of $74,620 ran his 1962 earnings...
...York's Belmont Park, for an unprecedented third year in a row. Ridden by Jockey Ismael Valenzuela, who never had to use his whip, Mrs. Richard C. du Pont's five-year-old gelding breezed to an easy ten-length victory, covered the two miles in 3 min. 19-4/5 sec.-breaking Nashua's track record. Kelso's $70,785 winner's purse ran his lifetime earnings to $938,380-sixth highest total in U.S. racing history, and the all-time high for a gelding...
