Who Won
> Tony Lema, 30: the World Series of Golf, shooting a two-under-par 138 at the Firestone Country Club in Akron. "Champagne Tony," the British Open winner, fired a last-round 68, coasted to a five-stroke victory and the biggest paycheck in golf: $50,000. It was all "unofficial" as far as the Professional Golfers' Association was concerned, but the victory boosted Lema's 1964 win nings to $122,555 -- ranking him ahead of the two top "official" moneywinners, Arnold Palmer ($110,743) and Jack Nicklaus ($101,917).
>Boston College: a stunning 21-14 victory over Syracuse, the East's No. 1-ranked team in preseason college-football polls, in Newton, Mass. With the score tied 14-14 and seconds left, Quarterback Larry Marzetti uncorked a 53-yd. pass to End Bill Cronin for the winning touchdown. Penn State's fired-up Nittany Lions held Navy's All-Every-thing Roger Staubach to five pass completions and --14 yds. rushing, but the Middie defense intercepted two Penn State passes, and Navy won 21-8. Other scores: Oklahoma 13, Maryland 3; Southern California 21, Colorado 0; Northwestern 7, Oregon State 3.
