Who Won
P:The University of Maryland's football team, an unexpectedly close one, over Auburn, 13-7; in Birmingham, Ala. This showing, on top of the previous week's last-minute 13-10 win over Missouri, sent experts back to their charts to see just why they had rated Maryland the best in the nation.
P:The Detroit Tigers' Lefthander Hal Newhouser, his 200th major-league victory (against 147 defeats), over the Browns, 3-2; in Detroit.
P:Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's undefeated, two-year-old Native Dancer, the $107,545 Belmont Futurity, in the world-record-equaling time of1 min. 14 2/5 sec. for 6 1/2 furlongs; on the Widener Course straightaway at Belmont. Odds-on choice at 1 to 3, the dark grey colt (by Polynesian, out of Geisha) brushed his opposition aside in the stretch to win his eighth straight race.
P:Long Island's Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, the Skoal Trophy Race for International Class sloops, from Oslo's Royal Norwegian Yacht Club; on Long Island Sound. Begun in 1951, the race alternates between Norway and Long Island; last year, sailing on their home waters, the Norwegians won.
