Sport: Who Won

¶ Michigan State's football team, its 17th game in a row, over lowly, unrated Oregon State, 17-14; in Portland, Ore. Leading at halftime, 14-0, Michigan State was not only stopped cold in the second half but stood tied at 14-all with the ball on Oregon State's 8-yd. line and time left for one play. After a field-goal try sailed wide, the game looked finished. But Oregon State had been offside; on the second chance, with the clock run out, the reprieved Spartans made their three points good. Other notable winners: Notre Dame, in an upset over the high-ranked University of Texas, 14-3; Wisconsin, in a triumph that broke Illinois' victory string at eleven straight games, 20-6; California, rated best in the West and No. 2 in the nation (after Michigan State), over Minnesota, 49-13; No. 3-ranked Maryland, its 15th victory in a row, over Clemson, 28-0.

¶ Russia's Amazonian Shot-Putter Galina Zybina, the shot event in a Soviet meet, with a heave of 50 ft. 7.11 in., bettering her own world mark (set in this year's Olympics) by nearly 5 in.; in Moscow.

¶ Good Time Stable's pony-sized pacer Good Time, the one-mile Almahurst pace, in heats of 1 min. 58 sec. and 1 min. 58 1/5sec., a world record for a two-heat race, boosting his lifetime winnings to a record (for harness racing) $305,842.56; both in Lexington, Ky.
