Holy Cross continued to dominate the long running events when Tom Noering won the 600 yd. race in 1:13.2. At this point it was mathematically conceivable that H.C. could win the meet, but Aworl eliminated that minute possibility by showing his heels to the whole field in the 40 yd. dash and high hurdles.

Inside will be an airtight capsule large enough to hold one man lying face down. A crewman bailing out will crawl into the capsule and detach the lifeboat from the spaceship. As soon as it is clear, nitrogen gas from a pressure vessel...
...little attention. By the time Palmer teed off for his final round, three strokes behind Wall, 5,000 jostling fans had enlisted in Arnie's Army, hoping for another of the blazing finishes that make Palmer the most exciting player in golf. They got it. On the 390-yd., par4 fourth hole. Arnie almost drove the green to set up an easy birdie. He birdied the seventh, the eighth and the ninth, sank a 20-ft. putt on the 10th for his fourth birdie...
