Who Won

> Kelso, Horse of the Year in 1960 and 1961, considered by many U.S. horsemen to be the best thoroughbred since Man o' War: the $108,900 Jockey Club Gold Cup at New York's Belmont Park, for an unprecedented third year in a row. Ridden by Jockey Ismael Valenzuela, who never had to use his whip, Mrs. Richard C. du Pont's five-year-old gelding breezed to an easy ten-length victory, covered the two miles in 3 min. 19-4/5 sec.--breaking Nashua's track record. Kelso's $70,785 winner's purse ran his lifetime earnings to $938,380--sixth highest total in U.S. racing history, and the all-time high for a gelding.

> Underdog Pittsburgh, roundly beaten by West Virginia (15-8) a week ago: a stirring 8-6 upset of unbeaten, high-ranked U.C.L.A. An improvised two-point conversion pass from Quarterback Jim Traficant to Fullback Rick Leeson provided the margin of victory. The week saw more than its share of upsets: Colgate stunned undefeated Princeton, 16-15, Auburn downed Georgia Tech, 17-14, Oklahoma beat Kansas, 13-7, and Northwestern spotted Ohio State a 14-0 lead, stormed back to win. 18-14.

> Walt Alston, 50, another one-year, $42,000 contract to manage the National League's not-quite-victorious Los Angeles Dodgers. While the World Series was delayed by rain, idle sportswriters amused themselves by speculating that the job would go to Leo ("The Lip") Durocher, who insisted that the Bums would not have kicked the pennant away to the Giants had he been boss. But General Manager Buzzy Bavasi decided to stick with mild, long-suffering Alston, and he in turn let on that Durocher could come back too, as a coach. Shrugged Bavasi: "If Alston can live with Leo that's fine with me."
