> U.C.L.A.: a 79-64 victory over Dayton's outclassed Flyers, in the finals of the N.C.A.A. basketball championships at Louisville. With 7-ft. 1⅜-in. Lew Alcindor pouring in 20 points and picking off 14 rebounds, the heavily favored Bruins closed out their season with a perfect 30-0 record. In New York's National Invitation Tournament, the other big post-season playoff, Southern Illinois made it a clean sweep for favorites by beating Marquette in the finals 71-56.

> Stanford's Greg Buckingham, 21: the 200-yd. freestyle at the N.C.A.A. indoor swimming championships, beating Yale's Don Schollander—winner of four gold medals at the 1964 Olympics—and breaking Schollander's U.S. record with a clocking of 1 min. 41.3 sec. at East Lansing, Mich. Buckingham set another U.S. mark (4 min. 37 sec.) in the 500-yd. freestyle, and his Stanford teammate Dick Roth also won two events: the 200-yd. and 400-yd. individual medleys.

> Oxford: the 113th Oxford-Cambridge boat race, by an easy 3¼ lengths on London's Thames River. With California's Jonathan Jensen rowing No. 4 and Connecticut's John Bockstoce in the bow, the Dark Blue eight swept into the lead at the start, maintained a steady beat of 34 strokes per min., and stayed in front for the full 4 miles, 374 yds.
