Scoreboard

P: After warming up with an easy 1,500-meter freestyle victory at the A.A.U. national indoor swimming championships in New Haven, Australian Olympian Murray Rose, 18, felt so relaxed that he forgot to count the laps when he kicked off next night in the 22O-yd. grind. With only 20 yds. left to go, Murray, now a Southern California freshman, suddenly realized the race was almost over. He thrashed up to full speed, just managed to come up from third to touch out his countryman and collegemate, Jon Henricks. in a meet-record 2:02.5.

P: Stumpy Jockey Steve Brooks, 36, who has been going around in winning track circles for almost 20 years, rode to greater glory at Florida's Gulfstream Park. Slashing away with his skillful whip, Steve got a two-year-old bay filly named Tempest Tossed to stay in front of her field for three furlongs, and became the seventh jockey in U.S. racing history to ride 3,000 winners.

P: Using the traditional English stroke with its long layback, a favored Cambridge crew led Oxford and its American-style oarsmen all the way along the 4-mile-374-yd. course on the rain-and-wind-roiled Thames and won by 3 1/2 lengths.

P: Golf pros put up with a lot to compete for more than $200,000 in prize money at Business Engineer George S. May's four Tam O'Shanter tournaments in Chicago each summer. They pin numbers on their backs, refrain from throwing clubs when they flub shots, even mind their language. But when the Professional Golfer's Association refused to let May pocket all the entry fees to help pay the expenses of running his extravaganza, the well-heeled promoter took offense. He called off the world's richest tournaments.

P: The University of Denver postponed an athletic crisis by remembering that transfer students must wait a year before playing on varsity teams. Until someone read the rule book, the university golf team, which often practices at private clubs, faced a season of play restricted to public courses. A likely looking 19-year-old sophomore who had transferred from Doane College, Crete, Neb. seemed certain to make the team--and just as sure not to be welcome at Denver's private clubs. The promising golfer is named Nate Goldstein. He is a Negro.
