The match that could decide the series.
Tommy Aaron (US) v Roberto de Vicenzo (Argentina) at Carnoustie

The World lead 6-5 with two matches to play. A win for de Vicenzo, reigning individual World Cup champion and former British Open champion, would clinch the series. Victory for Aaron, member of the last Ryder Cup team, or a halved match will mean that the result depends on next week's final match.
De Vicenzo might have won the American Masters title in 1968 had it not been for Aaron. The American made an error on Roberto's card, and the Argentinian failed to check it: thus he was disqualified.
Prize-money: $4,000 to the winner $2,000 to the loser

Wheelbase covers the world of motoring

Why are so many people in this country buying foreign cars? Is it the cheapness or utility of continental models, or just the result of long waiting-lists for new cars from strikebound British factories? Gordon Wilkins examines some of the reasons for the foreign car invasion, which recently has captured up to 19 per cent of our home market.
From Monaco, Barrie Gill reports on last Sunday's spectacular Grand Prix - who won it, and why.

Starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara

An army lieutenant is held for the murder of a bartender, and the small-town lawyer responsible for his defence has to use all his guile to combat the formidable case built up by the prosecution.

Director Otto Preminger makes exciting entertainment of this authentic and minutely detailed account of a murder trial, shot entirely on location in a Michigan town.
Among a distinguished cast of Hollywood actors, including Ben Gazzara of Husbands fame and George C. Scott, there's Joseph N. Welch, a real Supreme Court judge who plays the trial judge.
