Scoreboard
P: Using head, elbows and glove laces with wicked efficiency, Featherweight Champion Joe ("Sandy") Saddler spent twelve rounds at San Francisco's Cow Palace cutting up Filipino Challenger Gabriel ("Flash") Elorde. Finally Flash bled so badly that the referee stopped the fight in the 13th, let Sandy keep his title on a TKO.
P: When the University of North Carolina met North Carolina State in an Atlantic Coast Conference basketball game at Chapel Hill, not a Rebel was on the starting teams. North Carolina's Tarheels, with sharpshooters from New Jersey, Brooklyn and The Bronx, held off the Wolfpack Yankees from Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, scored one of the season's biggest upsets, 73-69.
P: On the edge of the Gulf Stream, 2 1/2 miles off Hollywood Beach, Fla., Indianapolis Housewife Barbara Jacobs, 33, strapped on an Aqua-Lung, swam down to a new skindiving record for women: 270 ft.
P: At Washington, D.C., Dave Sime, Duke sophomore, ran 100 yds. in 9.5 sec. to break the American indoor mark. At the Women's National A.A.U. indoor championships, smooth-striding Tennessee A. & I. Sprinter Isabelle Daniels broke the world's 50-yd.-dash record with a 5.8-sec. qualifying heat.
