Who Won
P: Princeton's football team, its fifth straight "Big Three" title and its 21st victory in a row, over Yale, 27-0; at Princeton. Triple-threat Halfback Dick Kazmaier (TIME, Nov. 19) accounted for every Princeton touchdown, passing for three, running for the fourth. Completing ten of 16 passes, he brought his total yardage for the year to 1,707, a new Ivy League record. Other notable results: Illinois and Ohio State, a 0-0 tie, temporarily derailing the Illinois Rose Bowl train; Michigan State, the nation's No. I team, over Indiana's hopped-up Hoosiers, 30-26; both Sugar Bowl teams--Tennessee over Mississippi, 46-21, and Maryland over North Carolina State, 53-0.
P: Willie Mays, 20, the New York Giants' fleet-footed centerfielder, the Baseball Writers' poll as the National League's rookie of the year. American League winner: New York Yankee Infielder Gil Mc-Dougald, 23, in a close vote (13-11) over Chicago's Infielder-Outfielder Orestes ("Minnie") Minoso.
P: C. V. Whitney's Counterpoint, the Daily Racing Form poll as Horse-of-the-Year. The long-legged three-year-old, who has spent a good part of his life sidelined with a succession of injuries, won seven of his 15 starts in 1951 to bring his winnings for the year to $250,525.
P: C. T. Chenery's Brian G, the $15,000 Pimlico Special; at Baltimore.
P: Army's Dick Shea, the IC-4A crosscountry title for the third year in a row; in Manhattan. Team winner: Penn State, by one point over Army.
