Who Won
¶ The underdog (2-1) Oxford crew, its annual race with Cambridge; in London. Rowing the 4½-mile course in a blizzard, and often shipping water, the Oxford crew won in a sprint finish by five feet, its first victory over Cambridge since 1946.
¶ Columbia University fencers, the N.C.A.A. team title, over 35 colleges; at New Haven, Conn. Individual titleholders: Navy's Frank Zimolzak, saber; N.Y.U.'s Herman Wallner, epee; and C.C.N.Y.'s Harold Goldsmith, foil.
¶ Oklahoma wrestlers, the N.C.A.A. team title, over Iowa Teachers College, 22-21; at Fort Collins, Colo. The upset of the meet came when Princeton's Brad Glass, undefeated as a collegian and defending heavyweight champion, lost the igi-lb. class to Iowa's George Myers.
¶ Vic Seixas, the Miami invitation tennis tournament, over Dick Savitt, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2; in Miami. Seixas, the nation's No. 1 player and a Davis Cupper, had not met Savitt, No. 2, since Savitt, badly bothered with a leg infection, lost to him in last season's National semifinals.
¶Dick Button, two-time Olympic figure skating champion and five-time world titleholder, his seventh straight U.S. championship; at Colorado Springs. Women's winner: Tenley Albright.
¶Jimmy Clark, the P.G.A.'s Azalea Open golf tournament, with a record 16-under-par 272; at Wilmington, N.C. Clark, 30, an unknown pro from Laguna Beach, Calif, had won only $180 this season before hitting the $2,000 Azalea jackpot.
¶Lieut. Warren Druetzler, N.C.A.A. mile champion, the Bankers' Mile in 4:09.7; at Chicago.
¶ Gift of Gold, an eleven-year-old steeplechaser, his second consecutive Carolina Cup; at Camden, S.C.
