Scoreboard

P: Top football honors of the season went to the unbeaten, untied Terrapins of the University of Maryland; final polls of both the Associated Press (sportswriters) and the United Press (coaches) ranked them No. 1 in the U.S., just ahead of Notre Dame. Coach Jim Tatum's Terrapins took a brief time-out to enjoy the sensation of being national champions, then began pointing for their Orange Bowl game with the University of Oklahoma.

P: Individual football honors went to Notre Dame Halfback Johnny Lattner, who won both the Maxwell Memorial Award (second straight year) and the Heisman Trophy as the nation's No. 1 player. At week's end, playing the last game of his collegiate career, Lattner scored two touchdowns as Notre Dame beat Southern Methodist, 40-14.

P: In solemn summary, the American Football Coaches Association counted the year's cost in lives: five in high-school football, two in college football (at Boston U. and Nebraska's Midland College), two in athletic clubs and one in a sand-lot game.

P: In Buffalo, FBI-man Fred Wilt, improving with age (32), won his third National A.A.U. 10,000-meter senior cross-country championship. Running over a slushy, snow-softened course, Wilt ran the distance in 31:17.6.

P: In Perth, Belgium's Davis Cup tennis team defeated India's, five matches to none, won the right to meet the U.S. in the final of the challenge round.

P: In Melbourne, after the U.S. Davis Cup team had been knocked out in the quarter-final round. Australia's teen-aged (19) Lewis Hoad beat Teammate Teen-Ager Ken Rosewall. 9-7, 8-6, 3-6, 6-3, for the Victorian tennis title. Aussie bookmakers promptly made the U.S. a 3-1 underdog in this month's Davis Cup matches.
