...towel, acted as though he could not possibly understand why his Fighting Irish were two-touchdown favorites. "Cal has 24 lettermen back," he warned, "plus a lot of junior-college transfers and a fine group of sophomores." Very funny. Quarterback Zloch ran for two touch downs and passed 24 yds. to Halfback Nick Eddy for a third. Safety Man Nick Rassas intercepted three Cal passes. The first string spent most of the fourth quarter relaxing on the bench, as Notre Dame, sticking to the ground and only once bothering to punt, outgained California 411 yds to 85 yds...

In Santiago, the flood-swelled Mapocho River swept away thousands of slum dwellers' shacks, turned the city's broad avenues into raging streams. And the wind! In one schoolyard, a group of children stood paralyzed by fear...
...playing partner, Dave Marr, a journeyman golfer who had not won a tournament since 1962. A birdie for Nicklaus and a bogie for Marr would mean a playoff. Teeing off for the 470 yd. par-four, Marr hooked his drive into a fairway trap, while Nicklaus slammed one 300 yds deadcenter. But after all those years, Marr was not about to throw it away. With a beautiful recovery and approach, he salvaged his par, and Jack missed his birdie. That did it. The new P.G.A. champion, $25,-000 richer, was Dave Marr. Nicklaus settled for a $12,500 split...
