Who Won
> Fred Lorenzen, 30: the accident-marred, $65,000 National 400 auto race, averaging 119 m.p.h. in his 1965 Ford; at Charlotte, N.C. A five-car pile-up on the first lap cost the life of Driver Harold Kite, and only 18 of the 44 starters were still around at the end. Lorenzen made his move on the 216th lap (out of 267), dueled bumper to bumper for the next 45 laps with A. J. Foyt, took the lead for keeps when Foyt clipped the wall at 125 m.p.h.--only nine miles from the finish.
> Michigan State: a 14-10 victory over Purdue, in a Rose-Bowl-or-bust battle between the last unbeaten teams still left in the once-mighty Big Ten. Purdue Quarterback Bob Griese passed for one touchdown and kicked a field goal, and the No. 2-ranked Spartans trailed 10-0 going into the final quarter. Then they marched 50 yds. for one TD, 60 yds. for another, won their sixth straight victory of the season. Notre Dame's only problem was containing Southern California's Mike Garrett, who had gained 170 yds. per game. Problem? Garrett got only 7 yds. in the first half, and Notre Dame won 28-7. Princeton annihilated Penn 51-0 to run its winning streak to 14 in a row, but other scores smacked more of soccer than football. Examples: Northwestern 9, Iowa 0; Washington State 8, Indiana 7; Southern Mississippi 3, Auburn 0; Clemson 3, Texas Christian 0.
