Scoreboard

P: "Team morale is shot," said Iowa Coach Forest Evashevski after TIME and others had the temerity to suggest that settling for a 21-21 tie with Michigan might have been cricket but wasn't football. "I don't know whether we can get the kids up off the floor." But this time Evy refused to quit. He posted the offending articles on the locker-room bulletin board. His kids got the message and scored the most points Iowa had ever made against Minnesota. They beat the Gophers, 44-20.

P:It would probably be a good thing for the team to lose, said University of Oklahoma President George Cross. "Overemphasis on the winning part of the game will ultimately destroy it." But Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson and his Sooners did not seem to be listening. They whipped Missouri, 39-14, to lengthen football's longest current winning streak (47 games) and earned a trip to the Orange Bowl.

P: Playing as if he meant to win the game all alone, Texas A. & M.'s John Crow blasted his way through a rugged S.M.U. line all afternoon, broke up its last-ditch offense and hove into the clear as one of the best backs in the country. Final score: Texas A. & M. 19, S.M.U. 6.

P:After trying unsuccessfully for months to break the world's water speed record in the U.S., Donald Campbell took his big, jet-powered bug back to Britain, dunked it in Lancashire's Lake Coniston and screamed to a new mark: 239.07 m.p.h., more than 13 m.p.h. better than his old one.
