...Washington. "The only perfect leap I ever saw. I'm sure he would have made it if the bar was at 16 ft. 4 in.-with a metal pole or any other kind." Rangy (6 ft. 1 in., 172 Ibs.) and well-knit, Uelses runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.7 sec., needs only an abbreviated, 104-ft. approach (standard: 130-140 ft.) to reach top speed. He gets so much lift that he needs only a cut-down, 14-ft. 11-in. pole to propel his body across a 16-ft.-high bar. Aloft he is unusually graceful...
...loose and I'm ready," said Villanova's Frank Budd, 22. "Tonight will be a good one." It was: dead last at the start, Budd won the 60-yd. dash easily in 6.1 sec.-just .1 sec. off the world record...
...Eastern Champion New York Giants, Packer Coach Vince Lombardi relied on a savagely blocking line, the accurate passing of Quarterback Bart Starr, and the multiple talents of Paul Hornung - the N.F.L.'s Player of the Year.

...close. We'd better break out and force the pace." Raty moved out with Story, but he soon found himself dropping behind the fleet-footed Oregon State runner. By the time the leaders had rounded the 17th green and headed for the finish line, Story had a 50-yd. lead. The rest of the field was strung out all across the golf course-with the last stragglers as much as six minutes behind. Story's winning time (19 min. 46.6 sec.) was the fifth fastest in the history of the race...
Then, sparked by Halfback Pierce Frauenheim and second-string Quarterback Bill Speranza, the Scarlet Knights began to do rather than die for dear old Rutgers. On the first play of the final period, Speranza flipped a 10-yd. touchdown pass. Three plays later, Frauenheim intercepted a pass on Columbia's 48-yd. line to set up a drive capped by Speranza's 1-yd. dive into the end zone. Still rolling, Rutgers drove 60 yds. for the tiebreaker. Two plays later, Frauenheim plucked off another Columbia pass and raced 30 yds. for the Scarlet Knights' fourth touchdown...
