Who Won
> California: the Western Intercollegiate Rowing championship on San Diego's Mission Bay, beating Washington by one-half length. Rowing against strong tides over a 2,000-meter course, the undefeated Golden Bear crew pulled away from Washington at 1,000 meters, held its margin with a strong 40 strokes per minute, became early favorites, along with Harvard, for the Olympic trials this July.
> Overtrick: the $50,000 International Pace at New York's Yonkers Raceway, in 3 min., 3 4/5 sec., only 2/5 sec. off the world pacing record for 1 1/2 miles. The victory squashed rumors that Overtrick had gone lame, added $25,000 to the big bay colt's lifetime earnings, which now amount to $344,902.
> Mickey Wright, 29: first-place money ($1,250) in the Muskogee (Okla.) Civitan Open golf tournament with a three-over-par 213, nine strokes better than second-place Marlene Hagge. The victory, fourth in six tournaments this year, brought her 1964 winnings to $7,400, almost twice as much as any other woman golf pro.
