Abstract: This section offers news briefs on sports. Australians who were eager to watch the 1956 Melbourne Olympics were disappointed to see world-record miler John Landy fail to reach his goal due to inflamed tendons in both legs. Pandemonium broke out in Iowa after its football team upset Ohio State and won a Rose Bowl cup after missing it in 34 years and a chance to play in the Big Ten Conference championship games. Lee Shaeffer, owner of the oldest floating football pool in North America, was charged with running a betting house in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
