> Oxford: a 3¾-length victory over Cambridge in the 112th Annual Dark Blue-Light Blue crew race, on London's windswept Thames River. Forced to find a substitute boat after their No. 1 shell collided with a buoy and sank during practice, the Cambridge rowers battled the favored Dark Blues bow-to-bow for 3 mi. of the 4-mi., 374-yd. race. Then, at the last bend, Oxford Coxswain James Rogers steered straight across the Cambridge bow, forcing the Light Blues to check as Oxford pulled away.

> France: the Werner Cup, symbolic of the American International Team Ski Championship, at Sun Valley, Idaho. Led by pert, 20-year-old Marielle Goitschel, who won both the slalom and giant slalom and finished third in the women's downhill, the French ended with 206 points to Austria's 198. The U.S. team wound up fifth.
