Scoreboard

P: For half the game at the State University's big field house in Iowa City, Iowa's Hawkeyes matched the University of Illinois Whiz Kids, second-ranking team in the U.S., in the battle for the Big Ten basketball championship. Then Iowa Center Bill Logan (6 ft. 7 in.) hooked in a couple of feather-soft shots that started somewhere around his knees and gave his teammates a lead they never lost. After that the confident Hawkeyes ran away with the game. Final score: Iowa 96, Illinois 72.

P: Finishing fast in the stretch, Rex Ellsworth's brown colt, Terrang, half-brother to 1955 Kentucky Derby Winner Swaps, caught Llangollen Farm's Social Climber, won the $158,800 Santa Anita Derby by more than a length, and probably earned a chance to carry Ellsworth's colors in this year's Kentucky Derby.

P: Long Island Investor Alastair Bradley Martin recovered just in time from a virus infection, showed his familiar form --severe cut shots, accurate backhand, unbeatable railroad and sidewall services --at Manhattan's Racquet and Tennis Club to overpower Robert Grant III and win the amateur court tennis championship of the U.S. for the eighth time. Only man to hold the title longer: Financier Jay Gould, champion from 1906 to 1926.
