> No. 4-ranked Illinois: a 17-7 Rose Bowl victory over unranked Washington, on the running of Sophomore Fullback Jim Grabowski, who scored one touchdown, gained 125 yds. In the Orange Bowl, Nebraska raced to a 13-0 half-time lead, barely hung on to beat Auburn 13-7. And in the Sugar Bowl, Alabama’s Tim Davis booted field goals from 48 yds., 46 yds., 31 yds., and 22 yds. to edge Mississippi 12-7.
> Scotland’s Jimmy Clark, 27: the South African Grand Prix, by 67 sec. over Dan Gurney. World Champion Clark averaged 95.1 m.p.h. in his Lotus-Climax, led all the way for his seventh win in ten races—a new record.
> Florida A.& M.’s Bob Hayes, 21: the 100-yd. dash in 9.1 sec., tying his own world record, over a slow, rain-soaked track at the Orange Bowl track meet. A 10-m.p.h. wind made it all unofficial, but Hayes also splashed through the 220 in 20.1 sec.—just .1 sec. off Dave Sime’s world mark—even though he slowed down to avoid crashing into spectators at the finish line.
