> Former Yankee Manager Yogi Berra: a $70,000, two-year contract as coach with the National League’s New York Mets. Pocketing $25,000 in severance pay from his former employers, Berra became the third big Yankee name (with ex-Manager Casey Stengel, ex-General Manager George Weiss) to join the Mets—a clear indication that the Yankees are quickly becoming the Mets’ favorite farm team.

>The Baltimore Orioles’ Brooks Robinson, 27: the American League’s Most Valuable Player Award for 1964, breaking a four-year Yankee monopoly. Third Baseman Robinson hit 28 home runs, led the league in RBIs (118), and produced the hits that kept Hank Bauer’s Birds within reach of the pennant until the last of the season. — Notre Dame: a crushing 28-0 victory over Iowa to remain unbeaten, untied and unchallenged as the nation’s No. 1 college team. Michigan defeated Ohio State 10-0, winning its first Big Ten Championship in 14 years and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Backing into bowls, fourth-ranked Nebraska, though upset 17-7 by Oklahoma, will go to the Cotton Bowl, and ninth-ranked Syracuse, despite a 28-27 defeat by West Virginia, received a Sugar Bowl invitation.
