Scoreboard

P: Unruffled despite being four down in he final round of the U.S. women's amateur golf championship at Indianapolis, Canada's tiny (5 ft. 1 in., 115 lbs.) Marene Stewart, 22, plugged away at her steady, par-nudging game. Ahead, husky JoAnne Gunderson, 17, national junior champion, came all unstrung with tournament jitters. Marlene--onetime British amateur women's champion (1953), four-time winner of the Canadian open (1951, '54, '55, '56) and current U.S. intercollegiate titleholder--passed her strawberry-blonde competitor on the 35th hole, won 2 and 1, became the first Canadian woman to take home the U.S. title.

P: The jet engine of his Bluebird speedboat whining at a frightening pitch, Donald Campbell streaked over Coniston Water, a banana-shaped sliver of England's Lake District, at 286 m.p.h., dropped to a modest clip on the return run, but averaged 225.63 m.p.h., to break his own world's record of 216.02 m.p.h. set last November at Lake Mead, Nev.

P: Remarkably fresh after an hour's hard cycling at Milan's Vigorelli Stadium, Italy's Ercole Baldini clocked just under 29 m.p.h. for a new world's record, announced that he would turn pro in January and was promptly ruled ineligible for the coming Olympics.
