...playoff was almost anticlimactic. Now the 8 to 5 favorite of the bookies, Palmer birdied the very first hole; by the end of the first nine, he was already two strokes up. Rattled, Brewer drove into the rough on the par-five tenth, dubbed his second shot, knocked his third 20 ft. over the green, chipped 12 ft. short of the hole and missed the putt. He wound up with a 73, and Arnie's second straight 69 gave him a four-stroke victory. Gay tried hard to live up to his name as he accepted the second-place...
Number one man Brian McGuinn extended his won-lost record to 7-3 by smearing Brandeis, 7 up with 6 holes to 30, and crushing Holy Cross, 7 and 5, McGuinn was only two over par when he closed out his Crusnder opponent on the 13th hole...
John Hawkins, playing third, turned in a respectable score of 78 but had to hang on for dear life to come up with a split. His Penn opponent was even par on the last 12 holes after a bad start and edged out Hawkins, 3 and 1. His Lion opponent finished one over on the last 14, but this time Hawkins prevailed...

It was a measure of his state of mind that he soared to a 76 next day, three-putting five greens. Grimly telling himself to "concentrate! concentrate!", he pulled his game together for a third-round 72 that tied him for the lead with Tommy Jacobs...
...second shot just 40 in. from the hole. Incredibly, he bungled the birdie putt. On the 420-yd. 18th, his second shot left him 40 ft. from the pin; his long curling putt for a birdie slid an inch past the cup. The tap-in gave him an even-par 288, locked him in a three-way tie with Jacobs and Gay Brewer...
