>Evansville: an 85-82 overtime victory over Southern Illinois, to clinch its second straight N.C.A.A. small-college basketball championship, end the season with an unblemished 29-0 record; at Evansville, Ind.

> Gun Bow: the 1½-mile Donn Handicap, by three widening lengths; at Florida's Gulfstream Park. Conceding anywhere from 2 to 19 Ibs. to his five rivals, including Rex Ellsworth's Candy Spots and Ernest Woods's Lt. Stevens, Gun Bow ran just as a 7-10 favorite should—leading from wire to wire, romping to an easy victory worth $36,650.

>Russia: a 3-1 victory over previously unbeaten Czechoslovakia, thereby clinching the world amateur ice hockey championship; in Tampere, Finland. Content to protect a 2-0 first-period lead, the smooth-skating Russians kept one man back on defense for the rest of the game, coasted to their sixth victory without a loss. The outclassed U.S. team, which had lost five straight, finally managed a 4-0 victory over Good Host Finland.
