Scoreboard: Who Won Dec. 6, 1963

— Roger Staubach, 21: the Heisman Trophy, awarded annually to the best college football player in the U.S. Everybody’s All-America, Navy Quarterback Staubach made a runaway of the voting by sportswriters and broadcasters (polling 517 first-place votes to 65 for Runner-up Billy Lothridge of Georgia Tech), became the fourth junior ever to win the trophy and the first since Ohio State’s Vic Janowicz in 1950.

> Jack Nicklaus, 23: a tie for fifth place in the Cajun Classic at Lafayette, La., worth $1,050—enough to push his official 1963 winnings to $100,040 and make him the second golfer ever to win more than $100,000 in a single year. The first: Arnold Palmer, 34, who tops the money winners’ list with $128,230.

> Texas: a nail-biting 15-13 victory over undermanned, underdog (by 13 points) Texas A. & M. that ensured the No. 1-ranked Longhorns an undefeated season (and probably the national championship)—but did little for their prestige. Illinois shackled Michigan State 13-0 to win its first Big Ten title in ten years, and No. 4-ranked Mississippi backed into the Southeastern Conference championship by eking out a 10-10 tie with unranked Mississippi State. In another intrastate battle, Auburn capitalized on Alabama mistakes for a 10-8 victory—the first time the Tigers had even scored on Alabama since 1958.

The Ivy League issue never did get settled: Yale upset Harvard 20-6, Dartmouth turned a last-quarter Princeton fumble into a 22-21 victory—and Dartmouth and Princeton wound up tied for the conference championship. With only a scattering of games still remaining on the college schedule, most post-season bowl opponents were already chosen.

The lineup: Rose Bowl, Illinois (7-1-1) v. Washington (6-4-0); Sugar Bowl, Mississippi (7-0-2) v. Alabama (7-2-0); Orange Bowl, Nebraska (9-1-0) v. Auburn (9-1-0); Bluebonnet Bowl, Louisiana State (7-3-0) v. Baylor (6-3-0); Cotton Bowl, Texas (10-0-0) v. Navy (8-1-0) or Pitt (7-1-0).
