Scoreboard: Who Won Nov. 26, 1965
> Michigan State: a 12-3 victory over Notre Dame, which was the nation's highest-scoring team (33 points per game); at South Bend, Ind. The No. 1-ranked, Rose Bowl-bound Spartans put the finishing touches on a perfect (ten victories, no losses) season by rolling up 286 yds., holding the No. 4-ranked Irish to 24 yds. passing, minus 12 yds. on the ground. Michigan State's probable New Year's day opponent: U.C.L.A., which beat crosstown rival U.S.C. 20-16. In a battle of Ivy League unbeatens, Dartmouth's Mickey Beard scored two TDs and passed for a third as the underdog (by 61 points) Indians snapped Princeton's winning streak at 17 games, 28-14. Obviously, it doesn't pay to make Arkansas mad. Texas Tech was leading the No. 2-ranked Razorbacks 17-14 at halftime; the final score was Arkansas 42, Texas Tech 24. Harvard beat Yale 130. Other scores: Washington 27, Washington State 9; Tennessee 19, Kentucky 3; Purdue 26, Indiana 21; Ohio State 9, Michigan 7.
> Craig Breedlove, 28: another world land speed record (his second in three weeks), becoming the first man ever to drive a car at 600 m.p.h. when he averaged 600.6 m.p.h. for two runs through the measured mile in his jet-powered streamliner Spirit of America; at Bonneville, Utah.
> Bret Hanover: the $151,252 Messenger Stakes; at New York's Roosevelt Raceway. Backed down by the bettors to odds of 1-5, the three-year-old-bay colt took the lead at the start and stayed there, beating Tuxedo Hanover by half a length to sew up the Triple Crown for pacers (he had already won the Cane Futurity and Little Brown Jug) and record his 45th victory in 48 races.
