Scoreboard
P: At South Bend, Ind., Len Dawson, a 19-year-old Purdue sophomore, fired four touchdown passes for a total of 156 yards, as the Boilermakers beat highly favored Notre Dame, 27-14. The upset, which ended Notre Dame's unbeaten streak of 13 games, was a repeat performance; in 1950 Purdue won 28-14, after the Irish had survived 39 straight. Other notable results: Army bounced back from last week's whipping by South Carolina, overran the Michigan Wolverines, 26-7; U.C.L.A.'s single-wing overpowered Maryland's split-T, 12-7.
P: In Sofia. Bulgaria, after breezing through the early rounds of an East European tournament, a team of undefeated Polish pugilists took on a squad of crack Soviet boxers in the finals, turned out to be unexpectedly aggressive satellites, and clobbered the Russians, eight bouts out of ten.
P: At Port Washington. N.Y., members of the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club found the kind of dusty going they are used to at home, sailed their International one-design yachts through heavy weather that dismasted an American boat, and beat out the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club for the Skoal Trophy.
