1967 Indian general election
The incumbent Indian National Congress government retained power, albeit with a significantly reduced majority. Indira Gandhi was resworn in as the Prime Minister on 4 March.


1967 Indian general election, Background
By 1967, economic growth in India had slowed – the 1961–1966 Five-Year Plan gave a target of 5.6% annual growth, but the actual growth rate was 2.4%. Under Lal Bahadur Shastri, the government's popularity was boosted after India prevailed in the 1965 War with Pakistan, but the war, along with the previous 1962 War with China, put a strain on the economy. Internal divisions were emerging in the Indian National Congress while its two popular leaders Nehru and Shastri had both died. Indira Gandhi had succeeded Shastri as leader, but a rift had emerged between her and Deputy Prime Minister Morarji Desai, who had been her rival in the 1966 party leadership contest.

A huge wave of anti-incumbency factor was present in Madras, 1967, which led to the defeat of the popular leader K. Kamaraj and his party in both the state and national elections, won by DMK and its allies. After this election, the DMK supported the Congress party under Indira Gandhi.

1967 Indianapolis 500
The 51st International 500 Mile Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, over two days, Tuesday May 30 and Wednesday May 31, 1967. The race was dominated by Parnelli Jones in the radically new, four-wheel drive STP-Paxton Turbocar gas turbine entered by prolific car owner Andy Granatelli. With three laps to go, however, Jones coasted to a stop when a $6 transmission bearing failed. A. J. Foyt assumed the lead, and weaved his way through a pileup on the final lap, to win his third Indy 500 victory.


1967 Indianapolis 500
Foyt's victory was the first Indy 500 win for Goodyear tires since 1919. After leaving the sport in 1922, Goodyear returned to the sport 1964, and in 1967, snapped Firestone's record of 43 consecutive Indy 500 wins.


1967 Indianapolis 500
The race was scheduled for Tuesday May 30. The race started on time at 11:00 a.m. EST, but after only 18 laps, rain began to fall. The race was red-flagged, and the resumption was held at 10:00 a.m. the following day. Though temperatures on Wednesday were cool, skies were sunny, and the race was run to completion.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race schedule
The annual 500 Victory Banquet was scheduled for Wednesday May 31. After the race was postponed for rain, the banquet was still held as scheduled, which was just hours after the checkered flag fell.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Pole day – Saturday May 13
Going into time trials, Mario Andretti was the favorite for the pole position. On the final day of practice, he turned the fastest practice lap in Indy history at over 168 mph. Among the others that were expected to challenge for the front row were Roger McCluskey, A. J. Foyt, and Gordon Johncock. Parnelli Jones, driving the new Granatelli STP-Paxton Turbocar gas turbine was in the top ten of practice speeds, but never on top, and some in the garage area were accusing the team of sandbagging.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Pole day – Saturday May 13
The first car out to qualify was Ronnie Duman. At about 2:30 p.m., Joe Leonard took over the provisional pole position with a run of 166.098 mph, a new track record. About an hour and a half later, Dan Gurney took over the pole with another record run of 167.224 mph. Gurney's time on top was short-lived, however, as Mario Andretti was the next car to make an attempt. Andretti set new 1-lap and 4-lap track records to win the pole position for the second year in a row. His third lap (169.779 mph) stood as the single lap record, and his four-lap average wound up at 168.982 mph.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Pole day – Saturday May 13
At the end of the day, the field was filled to 25 cars. Later in the day, Gordon Johncock (166.559 mph) squeezed himself on to the front row, qualifying third. A. J. Foyt suffered mechanical trouble on his first attempt, and pulled off the course. Later on, he returned to the track to qualify in fourth starting position. Parnelli Jones in the Granatelli Turbine qualified 6th.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Pole day – Saturday May 13
As was noted by many other teams at the time, Jones qualified with a race day set-up, while the piston-powered entries practiced and qualified with "qualifying setups," including light fuel loads, lightened transmission components, higher-revving gear ratios, a percentage of "pop," or nitromethane in the fuel, and so on. The STP crew had Jones qualify with a straight race-day setup, including the use of standard fuel (aircraft-grade kerosene, in this case).


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Third day – Saturday May 20
The field filled to 33 cars after 23 attempts were made. Six cars were bumped including Jackie Stewart. Roger McCluskey, who was not able to qualify on pole day, was the fastest car of the afternoon (165.563 mph).


1967 Indianapolis 500, Time trials, Bump day – Sunday May 21
Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart successfully bumped their way into the field. Jim Hurtubise tried to qualify using a front-engined car, but he was too slow.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Start (Tuesday)
The race started on Tuesday May 30 under threatening skies. At the start, polesitter Mario Andretti briefly took the lead into turn one. However, Jones swept to the outside from 6th starting position, and passed four cars in turn one. Exiting turn two, he dove below Andretti and took the lead down the backstretch. Jones ran the first lap at a record 154 mph, and started pulling out to a sizable lead.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Start (Tuesday)
On lap 3, Lee Roy Yarbrough spun in turn four, briefly bringing out the yellow. His car was not damaged, and he continued. After only a few laps, Mario Andretti pulled into the pits with mechanical troubles. The crew went to work on the car. On lap 18, rain began to fall, and the yellow light came on with Jones leading. On the 19th lap, the red flag came out and the race was halted at approximately 11:16 am. The rain continued most of the afternoon, and at about 4:15 p.m., officials postponed the conclusion until the next day. Scoring reverted to the completion of the 18th lap, and all cars were eligible for the resumption except Lloyd Ruby, who had already wheeled his car back to the garage with broken valves.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Restart (Wednesday)
Wednesday May 31 dawned cool but sunny and the race was resumed at 10:00 a.m. local time. George Snider fell ill overnight with a cold, and Lloyd Ruby, who had dropped out the day earlier, took over his car in relief for Wednesday. Two unscored warm-up laps were run behind the pace car, and the field of now 32 cars took the green flag to restart single-file. Jones continued where he left off and led on what was now the 19th lap.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, First half
On lap 52, Lee Roy Yarbrough suffered his second spin in turn four in two days. This time he tangled with the leader Parnelli Jones. Jones went low to lap Yarbrough, but was pinched down on the apron and the two cars touched wheels. Both cars went spinning into the grass, but they were not damaged and both drivers drove away unscathed. Dan Gurney briefly took the lead after the incident, but gave it up after only two laps when he pitted.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, First half
The first half shaped up with Jones dominating in the Turbine, chased by Dan Gurney, A. J. Foyt, and Al Unser, Sr., among others. On the leader's 65th lap, Mario Andretti lost a wheel in the exit of turn one. He came a stop in turn two and was out of the race with only 59 laps completed.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, First half
On his first pit stop on lap 80, Parnelli Jones escaped possible disaster as he began to pull away before the fuel hose was disengaged. The hose jerked and caused a spill, but Jones pulled away without damage and without a fire breaking out. A. J. Foyt slipped by to take the lead. Four laps later Foyt handed the lead back to Jones when he himself pitted.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, First half
Several cars were involved in a quick succession of crashes around the midway point. Art Pollard spun in turn three, but continued. Moments later, Carl Williams spun in front of Bob Veith as they diced through traffic in turn three. Veith's car suffered major damage to the nose, but both drivers were able to continue. Under the same yellow light, Wally Dallenbach wrecked into the inside wall of the mainstretch. Moments later, Cale Yarborough spun out in the north chute.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, First half
Approaching the scene, Lloyd Ruby (in George Snider's car) spun out with Lee Roy Yarbrough, and both cars went sliding to the infield grass in turn four. Ruby's car hit the inside fence and was out. Lee Roy Yarbrough, after his third spin of the race, was also out. Cale Yarborough, however, got back in his car and continued. About three laps later, Johnny Rutherford wrecked on his own in turn two.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Second half
Parnelli Jones continued to dominate the race, but gave up the lead to A. J. Foyt for laps 131–149. Dan Gurney, a contender in the first half, dropped out on lap 160.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Second half
Arnie Knepper (engine), Jackie Stewart (engine), Cale Yarborough and Mel Kenyon (crash), all dropped out of the race. Jochen Rindt, who experienced a difficult month and a difficult race, dropped out with a broken valve. Rindt, apparently not impressed with the Speedway, said he was not interested in coming back, but he did return one additional time in 1968.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Second half
With about 7 laps left for the leaders, Gordon Johncock spun out, briefly bringing out the yellow. At this point, Parnelli Jones seemingly had the race wrapped up, holding nearly a full lap lead over second place A. J. Foyt. Third place Al Unser was more than two laps down. Shockingly, with only four laps to go, a $6 transmission bearing failed, and the Turbine quietly coasted to a stop near the entrance to pit lane. The STP Granatelli team was in disbelief as they ran to the car's aid.


1967 Indianapolis 500, Race summary, Second half
A. J. Foyt drove by into first place with only four laps to go, but the drama was not yet over. On the final lap, Foyt was driving through turn four when a four-car crash broke out at the north end of the main straightaway. Foyt had a premonition of trouble (he later suggested that he had subconsciously noticed the crowd looking down the straightaway instead of at him) and backed off, and with savvy driving, weaved his way through the wreckage. He avoided the spinning cars and debris and took the checkered flag for his third win at Indianapolis. Foyt's winning speed of 151.207 mph (243.344 km/h) was a new record. The red and checkered flags immediately halted the race. Al Unser finished in second place for the first of three times in his career.

1967 Indianapolis mayoral election
The Indianapolis mayoral election of 1967 took place on November 7, 1967. Richard Lugar defeated incumbent Democratic mayor John J. Barton, becoming the first Republican to be elected mayor of Indianapolis in nearly two-decades. Democrats had long dominated mayoral elections before 1967, having won ten of the thirteen mayoral elections since 1930. No Democrat would subsequently recapture the mayoralty until 1999, largely due to the city-county merger that created the Unigov in 1970 adding the votes of suburban Marion County, which shifted the composition the electorate towards the Republicans.


1967 Indianapolis mayoral election, Nominations, Democratic primary
Barton was unsuccessfully challenged by Marion County Democratic Party chairman James W. Beatty. Beatty's challenge to Barton was seen as an act of retribution for Barton seeking to unseat Beatty as chairman the previous year.


1967 Indianapolis mayoral election, Nominations, Republican primary
A former member of the Indianapolis School Board, earlier that year Lugar had unsuccessfully sought to become President of the  but lost by a vote of four to three. Lugar was also the former head of Community Action Against Poverty and an executive at Thomas I. Green & Co. After this, he was convinced by L. Keith Bulen, the chair of the Marion County Republican Committee, to run for mayor. Lugar was also supported by the Republican Action Committee, a group of young Republicans that had organized after the party's losses in the 1964 election cycle in order to challenge control of the party from the party establishment.


1967 Indianapolis mayoral election, Nominations, Republican primary
In the primary, Lugar defeated former mayor Alex M. Clark.


1967 Indianapolis mayoral election, General election
Lugar made roughly 400 speeches over the course of his candidacy, discussing a wide variety of issues rather than focusing narrowly on a handful of issues. Among effective criticisms he lodged against Barton was criticism of the practice of open-dump burning of refuse (including in wards that had historically been strongly Democratic). He also spoke on issues such as the construction of the highway inner loop, minority demands, and a lack of adequate recreation space.


1967 Indianapolis mayoral election, General election
Barton had been a fairly popular incumbent. By the end of the election cycle, it had been widely anticipated that he would be reelected by a narrow margin. Lugar's win was considered to be a political upset.

Coinciding municipal elections were also swept by the Republican Party. Republicans took the city council elections with a 6 to 3 majority of seats.

1967 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final
The 1967 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final was the final of the ninth edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. It was played on 30 August and 6 September 1967 between Dinamo Zagreb of Yugoslavia and Leeds United of England. Zagreb won the tie 2–0 on aggregate.


1967 Intercontinental Cup
The 1967 Intercontinental Cup was a football tie held over three legs in 1967 between the winners of the 1966–67 European Cup, Celtic, and Racing Club, winners of the 1967 Copa Libertadores.


1967 Intercontinental Cup
The first leg was played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, with Celtic winning 1–0 through a Billy McNeill header. The game however was marred by Racing Club's incessant cynical fouling and spitting. The return match at El Cilindro in the Buenos Aires Province was also acrimonious, with Celtic's Ronnie Simpson struck by an object thrown from the crowd just before the start of the match. He was badly dazed and had to be replaced by John Fallon. Celtic again took the lead, but Racing Club fought back to win 2–1 through goals from Norberto Raffo and Juan Carlos Cárdenas.


1967 Intercontinental Cup
The series of games went to a play-off match in Montevideo, Uruguay. The game was a shambles, exacerbated by Racing Club's continued cynical fouling, Celtic's loss of composure and discipline, and the incompetence of the Paraguayan referee who was clearly out of his depth. Riot police had to intervene on the pitch several times as six players were sent off; four from Celtic and two from Racing Club. Celtic's Bertie Auld however refused to leave the field on being "sent off" and still played for the whole game. Racing Club scored the only goal of the game in the second half through Cárdenas, winning the game 1–0 and the Intercontinental Cup series, becoming the first Argentinian holders of the trophy.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Intercontinental Cup rules
The rules of the tournament differed from other cup competitions. A match would take place in the home country of each club taking part. Two points were awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. Unlike other two-legged ties, aggregate scores were not taken into account; in other words a team could win their first match 5–0, then lose the next 4–3, but the clubs would tie on equal points. In event of teams finishing on the same number of points, a play-off would then take place in a neutral country on the same continent as where the second match took place.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
The match was reported as being expected to generate around £70,000 in ticket sales, and although the eventual sum was just under £60,000 it was still a record at the time for a football match in Scotland. Racing Club's players were on a £2,000 bonus each in event of winning the series of games (their basic annual salary was £5,000). On arrival in Scotland, the Racing Club squad kept a low profile and were praised for their quiet polite manner.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
Racing Club forward Humberto Maschio was technically under suspension, but as the Intercontinental Cup was not sanctioned by FIFA, the Argentinians elected to play him anyway. Celtic manager Jock Stein declined to protest this, stating that Celtic wished to play against the "best players that Racing could put on the field". Celtic winger Jimmy Johnstone was in a similar position for the return match in Argentina, but the SFA insisted he not play that game. Racing Club manager Juan José Pizzuti however publicly stated he saw no reason why Johnstone should not play. In the event, Stein ignored the SFA and played Johnstone in all three games.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
Jock Stein fielded largely the same side that won the European Cup in May 1967, with the only change being John Hughes replacing Stevie Chalmers in the forward line. Racing Club also fielded virtually the same side that won the Copa Libertadores, with Juan José Rodriguez taking the place of João Cardoso in the line-up against Celtic at Hampden Park.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
Celtic started the match on the attack. On eight minutes, Racing Club defender Alfio Basile fouled Johnstone as he ran in on goal. A free kick was awarded by the Spanish referee, although the foul appeared to have taken place within the penalty area. Johnstone continued to trouble the Racing Club defence, and was fouled on numerous occasions. From early in the match, it was clear the Argentinians had set out to play for a draw; playing with a massed defence and time wasting at every possible opportunity. Worse, the game was marred by their incessant cynical fouling and spitting. Celtic struggled to play at their normal rhythm and could only manage two notable goalscoring chances in the first half. At half-time Jimmy Johnstone returned to the dressing room with his hair soaked with the spit of his opponents.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
The second half started in similar fashion, with Celtic pressing forward against a deep lying Racing Club defence. Billy McNeill hit the post with a header from a Bertie Auld free kick in 55 minutes. On 69 minutes, goalkeeper Agustín Cejas pushed a John Hughes shot around the post. Hughes took the resulting corner kick, and McNeill steered a well directed header over Cejas into the far corner of the goal, despite Rubén Díaz's vain effort to keep the ball out with his hand.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
Celtic ran out 1–0 winners, but their players showed signs of having taken part in an excessively physical encounter. Billy McNeill had a black eye, Bertie Auld had been headbutted and Bobby Lennox sustained a vicious blow on his ear which ruled him out of playing for Scotland that weekend. After the match, Stein commented that "almost every [Celtic] player needs treatment for knocks."


1967 Intercontinental Cup, First leg
French sports newspaper L'Equipe described the atmosphere at the game as "incredible", but noted that the match was marred by too many fouls in a "furious battle". L'Equipe added that Celtic "dominated their rivals territorially" and won in "extremely difficult circumstances". Spanish sports newspaper Marca praised Racing Club's defence and their success in largely stifling Celtic's attacking play. The Gazetta Dello Sport were more critical of Celtic, stating the Scots win on the night "did not enchant anyone" and that Celtic were "lucky" to defeat Racing Club.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
In the lead up the second leg, Racing Club found themselves in a form slump. The club had lost four successive games (including the first leg in Scotland) and failed to score in any of them. Defender Miguel Mori then suffered an allergic reaction to a pain-killing injection and was ruled out for the second leg.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
The return match in Buenos Aires was the first time that Celtic had crossed the Equator, with the journey comprising a 20-hour flight from Scotland. Celtic captain Billy McNeill described Celtic's initial welcome in Argentina as being very warm and friendly. However, by the time of the game the crowd in the stadium were considerably more hostile, with McNeill later describing the reception at El Cilindro as "nothing short of horrific".


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
Amidst a volatile atmosphere in the stadium, trouble flared even before kick-off. As Celtic goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson lined up in goal, he was struck on the head by an object thrown from the terracing. Simpson was badly dazed and had to be replaced in goal by substitute John Fallon. Simpson believed he had been struck by a bottle, but others said it was a stone fired from a catapult.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
When the game finally began, Racing Club abandoned their defensive play of the first leg and pressed forward for an early goal. João Cardoso forced a save from John Fallon. Celtic attacked too, and Johnstone headed the ball into the goal only for it to be ruled offside. Celtic took the lead in 22 minutes after Johnstone was brought down in the penalty box by goalkeeper Cejas.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
Tommy Gemmell took the penalty kick and scored, despite the efforts of a dozen Argentinian press photographers who had encroached onto the pitch and were gesticulating at him in an effort to distract him. Racing Club rallied however, and equalised on 34 minutes with a finely taken goal; Norberto Raffo looping a header past Fallon from a Maschio cross.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
Racing Club took the lead early in the second half; Juan Carlos Cárdenas latching onto a pass from Juan Rulli and shooting past Fallon. After that, Racing Club took control of the match; slowing the pace and ably defending against Celtic's fading attacks.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
Despite the chaos at the start with Simpson's injury, the match itself was played in a better spirit than the first leg, largely due to the firm officiating of Uruguayan referee Esteban Marino. This was noted by Portuguese sports newspaper A Bola who felt that the Uruguayan official was more familiar with dealing with the Argentinians' antics.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
After the game, the Scottish dressing room was invaded by Argentinian fans and a battle between Argentinian and Uruguayan (who had travelled to Buenos Aires to support Celtic) fans broke out outside the stadium.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Second leg
Increasingly angered by events on and off the pitch, Celtic manager Jock Stein told reporters "We [Celtic] don't want to go to Montevideo or anywhere else in South America for a third game. But we know we have to."


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
As both teams were level on two points each after two legs, a play-off was required to take place at a neutral venue. The third match was held in Montevideo, and is since known as "The Battle of Montevideo".


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
In the build-up to the third match, Jock Stein told reporters that Celtic wanted to win, "not so much for ourselves but to prevent Racing from becoming champions". With regard to Racing Club's violent conduct in the previous two matches, Stein commented that Celtic's players would not look for trouble in the play-off game, but would "give as much as they are forced to take."


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
Celtic, however, were satisfied with the safety precautions that were in place at the Estadio Centenario; the pitch was surrounded by a moat topped with a steel barrier and barbed wire, and the stands were much further back from the field than at Racing Club's ground, thus minimising the likelihood of any repetition of a player being struck by an object thrown by fans.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
Celtic announced that Bertie Auld and John Hughes would return to the side in place of Willie O'Neill and Stevie Chalmers who had played the match in Buenos Aires. John Fallon kept his place in goal in place of Ronnie Simpson. Racing Club declined to comment prior to the match about their line-up or formation.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
The game started with a series of fouls by both sides. Eventually Paraguayan referee Rodolfo Perez Osorio stopped the match after 23 minutes and warned both captains via an interpreter that players would be sent off should the foul play not stop. However, his pleas were not heeded.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
The match erupted 14 minutes later when Jimmy Johnstone was hacked down by Juan Rulli. As Johnstone writhed in pain on the ground, a melee ensued between various opposing players. John Clark approached both Rulli and Alfio Basile with his fists up, striking a pose reminiscent of a bare-knuckle boxer. Uruguayan riot police took to the pitch to quell the ongoing disturbance. Eventually after five minutes, Racing Club's Basile and Celtic's Bobby Lennox were sent off. Initially observers believed Lennox had been sent off in a case of mistaken identity as he had not appeared to have committed any offence.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
However it later became known that the referee had earlier threatened to send off Racing Club's number 6 (Basile) and Celtic's number 8 (Lennox) for the next serious offence committed by their respective sides, even if the player's themselves were not guilty of the offence. Jock Stein attempted to get Lennox to stay on the field, but the Celtic player eventually was ushered off the pitch by a police officer wielding a sword.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
Racing Club began to take advantage as Celtic's composure and discipline disintegrated. On 48 minutes, Johnstone on being held back by Rulli, lashed out at the Argentinian in frustration and was duly sent off. Six minutes later, Racing Club took the lead when Cárdenas scored from 25 yards out with a superb left-footed shot into goalkeeper Fallon's top left corner. Celtic were reduced further in numbers after 74 minutes when John Hughes was sent off for kicking Cejas as he lay on the ground. Shortly afterwards Rulli was sent off for punching Celtic's John Clark.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
Two minutes from time, another melee erupted between the sides, resulting once again in the intervention of the Uruguayan riot police. Bertie Auld was sent off, but refused to leave the field and eventually played the full match. He was however reported by the referee afterwards. Whilst Auld refused to leave the field, amidst the total chaos on the field Tommy Gemmell kicked one of the Racing Club players in his genitals, which went unnoticed by the referee.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
The game finished 1–0 to Racing Club, clinching the trophy for the South American champions and making them the first Argentinian holders of the Intercontinental Cup. In total, 30 fouls were given against Celtic and 21 against Racing Club. Most fouls however went unnoticed or were not called by the referee.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
As the Racing Club players wanted to do a lap of honour around the stadium at full time, Uruguayan fans who had been supporting Celtic showered them with anything they could throw. The Racing Club players had to wait in the centre of the field, until the police had cleared the way to their dressing room.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
Jock Stein commented after the match, "I would not bring a team to South America again for all the money in the world."


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Play-off
In an otherwise acrimonious and bad spirited series of matches, there was at least one act of sportsmanship. After full-time in Montevideo, as Racing Club defender Roberto Perfumo made his way to the tunnel he was approached by Celtic captain Billy McNeill. Initially apprehensive, Perfumo then realised McNeill wished to shake hands. The players then exchanged jerseys, after which Perfumo hugged McNeill and said to him (in Spanish), "This is how football should be played." McNeill smiled and replied in perfect Spanish, "Buena suerte, buena suerte." (in English, "Good luck, good luck".) Perfumo later expressed his appreciation of McNeill's sportsmanship and described their encounter as his "most treasured moment of this world championship."


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
Racing Club's victory was acclaimed throughout Argentina, even by supporters of rival clubs. Racing Club's defender Basile described the win as an "immense joy that for me as a player was the greatest I ever experienced", noting that even fans of arch city-rivals Independiente celebrated. The Racing Club players all received a new car as well as their promised £2,000 bonus.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
Celtic returned to Scotland, with chairman Robert Kelly referring to the game as "an ugly, brutal match containing no football." He also expressed disappointment that Celtic "descended to that level [of Racing Club] to defend themselves." A few days later the Celtic board of directors fined every player £250 for their behaviour in Montevideo. Reports of the Racing Club players' bonuses only added to the ignominy.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
Press coverage of the Montevideo match was scathing. Reuters described the match as a "a bar-room brawl with soccer skills abandoned for swinging fists, flying boots and blatant body checking". L'Équipe described the match as a "sad, lamentable spectacle". They noted that "the Argentinians started the hostilities" but pointed out that Celtic "made use of every opportunity to return the blows".


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
Subsequent Intercontinental ties would frequently descend again into violence. The following year's clash between Manchester United and another Argentinian side, Estudiantes, was again marred by constant cynical play on the part of the South Americans. Worse violence would follow in the 1969 tie between Estudiantes and AC Milan, where Milan's Pierino Prati was knocked unconscious and Nestor Combin was battered by several Argentinian players - breaking his nose and cheekbone - before being dragged semi-conscious off a stretcher and arrested by Argentine police on trumped-up charges. The increasing violence of South American teams led to the reluctance of several European clubs to take part in the Intercontinental Cup throughout the 1970s.


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
The tie also inspired a popular Celtic song, "The World Club Championship song", which describes the match as "the dirtiest game I've ever seen".


1967 Intercontinental Cup, Aftermath
In 2017, FIFA formally recognised all winners of the Intercontinental Cup, including Racing Club, as "world champions".


1967 International Cross Country Championships
The 1967 International Cross Country Championships was held in Barry, Wales, on 18 March 1967. For the first time, an official women's competition was held. A report on the event was given in the Glasgow Herald.

1967 Intertoto Cup
The 1967 Intertoto Cup was the first in which no knock-out rounds were contested, and therefore the first in which no winner was declared. The tournament was expanded, with 48 clubs and twelve groups compared to 40 clubs and ten groups the season before. Denmark participated for the first time.


1967 Intertoto Cup, Abandonment of knock-out rounds
The Group Stage was always played during the summer break, with the knock-out rounds played as clubs could fit them in during the new season. However, this began to cause increasing problems. Firstly, clubs often had difficulty agreeing dates, and the tournament struggled to finish on time - for example, the 1964–65 final wasn't played until early June, over a year after the group games had started; and in 1963–64 and 1965–66 it was concluded in late May.


1967 Intertoto Cup, Abandonment of knock-out rounds
The second reason was the insistence of UEFA that any clubs taking part in the European Cup or UEFA Cup Winners' Cup could not continue games in other European competitions after the end of the summer break. This meant that clubs who had progressed from the Intertoto Group Stage, but were also competing in one of the UEFA competitions, had to be given byes through the Intertoto knock-out rounds (until they were eliminated from the UEFA competition), or withdrawn entirely. This made the knock-out rounds complicated, difficult to schedule, and weakened their significance.


1967 Intertoto Cup, Abandonment of knock-out rounds
The third reason was the lack of value attributed to the knock-out rounds. While reaching the final was seen as an achievement worthy of praise, the main purpose of the tournament, for most clubs who entered, was to provide football during the otherwise empty summer break. The financial benefits of participating in the pools competitions was also important. Having to arrange and play home-and-away knock-out matches during the new season was seen as difficult, expensive, and relatively pointless if the club in question was eliminated before reaching the Final or Semi-finals.


1967 Intertoto Cup, Abandonment of knock-out rounds
As a result, the knock-out rounds were abandoned, and for the next three decades there were no winners of the cup. The Group Stage continued much as before, with prize money still awarded according to a club's final group placing.


1967 Intertoto Cup, Group stage
The teams were divided into twelve groups of four clubs each - four in 'A' section, and eight in 'B' section. Belgium, France, and the Netherlands had clubs in 'A'; while Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, East Germany, Poland, Sweden and West Germany had clubs in 'B'. Clubs from Switzerland were placed in both sections.

1967 Irish Greyhound Derby
The 1967 Irish Greyhound Derby took place during July and August with the final being held at Harold's Cross Stadium in Dublin on 4 August 1967.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby
The winner Russian Gun won £2,000 and was trained by Tom Lynch, owned by Hugh Marley and bred by Frank Muldoon.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby, Competition Report
Legendary Irish trainer Tom Lynch was ill in hospital when he received a telephone call from a Portadown building contractor called Hugh Marley. Marley had seen his black dog Russian Gun eliminated from the 1967 English Greyhound Derby at the qualifying round stage but persuaded Lynch to train him for a tilt at the Irish Derby. Marley had paid breeder Frank Muldoon £3,000 for greyhound.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby, Competition Report
During the first round Yanka Boy recorded 29.31, Public Reply (the McAlinden Cup winner) won in 29.32; other winners were Ricard Flash 29.37, Proud Lincoln 29.44,  Whiteleas Gift (Produce Stake winner) 29.61 and Sutton Valley 29.64.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby, Competition Report
In round two Whiteleas Gift impressed after setting a very fast time of 29.20 and both Mount Mick and Hack It Buffalo went very well recording 29.24 and 29.37 respectively. Yanka Boy won again and Dry Flash beat Russian Gun, the latter still yet to win a heat.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby, Competition Report
Before the semi-finals Yanka Boy and Whiteleas Gift were the new competition favourites but the round proved pivotal as the major names crashed out, the first semi saw Hurricane Bertie defeat Dry Flash with Yanka Boy managing just third place. Baled Hay beat Ricard Flash in the second heat before Proud Lincoln won the third from Russian Gun with Whiteleas Gift failing to make the final.


1967 Irish Greyhound Derby, Competition Report
When the traps rose for the final Russian Gun (normally a slow starter) bolted from the traps and that was that, the crowd knew there would be no catching him and he duly wrapped up an easy victory in 29.44. Dry Flash ran well for second place with the strong finishing Hurricane Bertie taking third place. It was to be the last Derby ever held at Harold's Cross.


1967 Irish local elections
The 1967 Irish local elections were held in all the counties, cities and towns of Ireland on 28 June 1967. The result was a large gain in seats for Fine Gael, while Fianna Fáil and Labour remained largely unchanged on net seat totals. Others, including independents and Sinn Féin, lost many seats.


1967 Irish local elections
The context of the elections was an Ireland in the process of rapid modernisation. Social changes since the 1960 local elections include the launch of the first national television network, Telefís Éireann, in 1961. The National Farmers Association campaigned against the Fianna Fáil government, which was reducing tariffs in preparation for European Economic Community membership. Several NFA representatives won seats, particularly in Tipperary and Offaly. Labour's breakthrough in Dublin, coupled with a decline in rural areas, marked another step in its transformation from a rural party to an urban one.


1967 Isle of Man TT
The 1967 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was a motorcycle road racing event held on the 37-mile Snaefell Mountain course on the Isle of Man. Five races, in different engine capacity classes of 50, 125, 250, 350 and the 500 cc Senior TT, made up the second round of the FIM World Grand Prix motorcycling championship season (now known as MotoGP). Mike Hailwood, on the four-cylinder Honda RC181, duelled with Giacomo Agostini's  MV Agusta 500 Three.


1967 Isle of Man TT
The Italian broke Hailwood's lap record on the first lap at a speed of 108.38 mph (174.42 km/h). Hailwood responded with a second lap at 108.77 mph (175.05 km/h) but Agostini still led by 8.6 seconds. At the halfway pit stop of the six-lap race, Hailwood had cut Agostini's lead to a couple of seconds, but he then lost time adjusting his twist grip back into place. Agostini's lead was back up to 11.6 seconds. It was a battle as Hailwood, riding near to his limit, pursued the Italian rider. By the fifth lap, Hailwood had made up the difference and the riders appeared close to a dead heat, with the closest of finishes appearing likely.


1967 Isle of Man TT
Then disaster struck Agostini on the mountain section when his chain broke at the Windy Corner. He was able to coast back to the pits, but he was disqualified for missing Governor's Dip before coasting down to the pits. In the heat of the moment Agostini threw his helmet to the ground. Hailwood went on to win at a record 105.62 mph (169.98 km/h). His lap record stood for eight years, and was only beaten in 1975 by Mick Grant on an improved circuit riding a larger-engined Kawasaki KR750 cc. Hailwood's original Honda RC181 500 cc four-cylinder bike is owned by the Hailwood Trust and occasionally demonstrated at public events by his son David.

1967 Italian Athletics Championships
The 1967 Italian Athletics Championships was the 57th edition of the Italian Athletics Championships and were held in Bologna (track & field events).


1967 Italian Grand Prix
The 1967 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on 10 September 1967. It was race 9 of 11 in both the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The race was won by British driver John Surtees driving a Honda. It was the sixth and final career victory for Surtees, as well as the first ever race for the Honda RA300 which he drove to victory. This was the first Formula One race where start lights were used.


1967 Italian Grand Prix
This race is considered one of Jim Clark's greatest performances in Formula One. He led the race until lap 12 when he picked up a puncture and lost an entire lap. He then spent the next 48 laps recovering through the field, taking the lead on lap 60, and pulled away. But on the final lap, a lack of fuel in Clark's Lotus 49 allowed Jack Brabham and Surtees to pass the Scotsman and finish first and second, with Surtees ahead by less than a car length at the line. This was the second victory for the Honda F1 team, and the last for the factory team until Jenson Button won the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. Some fans and journalists still consider this race to be, in terms of race action and excitement, the greatest Grand Prix of all time.


1967 Jamaican general election
General elections were held in Jamaica on 21 February 1967. The result was a victory for the Jamaica Labour Party, which won 33 of the 53 seats. Voter turnout was 82.2%.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election
Elections for the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir were held in February 1967. Ghulam Mohammed Sadiq was appointed Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Background
In 1965, the working committee of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference announced that it would dissolve itself and merge with the Indian National Congress. A rival faction led by Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad refused to go along and contested the elections under the National Conference banner.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Background
Prior to that, in 1963, the Jammu Praja Parishad also merged into the national party Bharatiya Jana Sangh. These mergers are seen by analysts as a major "centralizing strategy" and a victory for the Hindu nationalist agenda of the Praja Parishad and its allies.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Background
There were reports that Bakshi was planning to forge an electoral alliance with the Jana Sangh, despite their differences on the Article 370, but the alliance did not materialize. The Jana Sangh, whose main base was in the Jammu Division, planned to contest in the Kashmir Valley taking advantage of the rivalry between the Congress and the National Conference.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, The election
Of the 75 seats, 42 seats were allocated to the Kashmir Valley, 31 to Jammu, and 2 to Ladakh.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, The election
The National Conference contested 73 seats overall. The Jana Sangh contested all 31 seats of Jammu and several seats in the Valley. The Plebiscite Front officially boycotted the election, but several members contested as independent candidates, including the General Secretary Ali Mohammad Naik, who contested from Tral, and Ghulam Mohammed Bhat, contesting from Habbakadal in Srinagar. The Awami Action Committee also boycotted the election. Other parties that contested included the rump group of the National Conference under the leadership of Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, the rump group of the Democratic National Conference under the leadership of Ram Piara Saraf, and the national parties Communist Party of India, Praja Socialist Party and the Hindu Mahasabha.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, The election
The nomination papers of 118 candidates were rejected on technical grounds, 55 of them because the candidates had failed to take the obligatory oath of allegiance to the Constitution. As a result, 22 seats in the Valley were unopposed, resulting in a win for the Congress candidates.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, The election
Simultaneously, elections were also held for the Lok Sabha (the Lower House of the Indian Parliament) in the 6 Lok Sabha constituencies of the State.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Results
The Indian National Congress won 61 seats in the state assembly, emerging as the winning party. Bakshi's National Conference won 8 seats and the Jana Sangh 3 seats. Three other seats were won by independent candidates, one of them by Ali Mohammed Naik of the Plebiscite Front.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Results
In the elections for the Lok Sabha, 5 of the 6 seats were won by the Congress, of which 2 were unopposed. The remaining seat was won by Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad of the National Conference, contesting from Srinagar. Scholar Sumantra Bose remarks that Bakshi might never have won a free election "at any point during his ten years in office", but he did so now holding the banner of Kashmiri regionalist resistance to New Delhi.


1967 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, Government formation
On 17 March, a 14-member ministry headed by G. M. Sadiq was sworn in. The Cabinet ministers included Girdhari Lal Dogra, D. P. Dhar, Mohammed Ayub Khan, Peer Giasuddin and Kanwar Ranjit Singh. Abdul Gani Lone was among the Ministers of State, and Mufti Mohammed Sayeed was among the Deputy Ministers.


1967 Japan Series
The 1967 Japan Series was the 18th edition of Nippon Professional Baseball's postseason championship series. It matched the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants against the Pacific League champion Hankyu Braves. The Giants defeated the Braves in six games to win their third consecutive championship.


1967 Japan Soccer League, NHK Cup
In between the League and the Emperor's Cup (which was played in January 1968 in order to allow for a change of format for the next season), a special match pitting the JSL champions Toyo Industries against All Japan University Soccer Tournament winners Kansai University was played in New Year, 1968. It was a predecessor to the later Japanese Super Cup, which began to be played in 1977, by which time the university teams had ceased to be viable contenders to the Emperor's Cup.


1967 Japanese general election
General elections were held in Japan on 29 January 1967. The result was a victory for the Liberal Democratic Party, which won 277 of the 486 seats. Voter turnout was 73.99%.


1967 Jordanian general election
General elections were held in Jordan on 27 April 1967. As political parties were banned at the time, all candidates ran as independents. Voter turnout was 70.0%.


1967 KFK competitions (Ukraine)
The 1967 KFK competitions in Ukraine were part of the 1967 Soviet KFK competitions that were conducted in the Soviet Union. It was 4th season of the KFK in Ukraine since its introduction in 1964.

1967 Kansas City Athletics season
The 1967 Kansas City Athletics season involved the team's finishing tenth in the American League with a record of 62 wins and 99 losses, 29½ games behind the American League Champion Boston Red Sox. This was the franchise's 13th and final season in Kansas City. After the season, the team relocated from Kansas City to Oakland. This precipitated a series of events culminating in the enfranchisement of the Kansas City Royals in the 1969 Major League Baseball expansion.

The 1967 Koynanagar earthquake occurred near Koynanagar town in Maharashtra, India on 11 December local time. The magnitude 6.6 shock hit with a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). It occurred near the site of Koyna dam, raising questions about induced seismicity, and claimed at least 177 lives and injured over 2,200.


1967 Koynanagar earthquake, Damage
More than 80% of the houses were damaged in Koyana Nagar Township, but it did not cause any major damage to the dam except some cracks which were quickly repaired. There have been several earthquakes of smaller magnitude there since 1967. The earthquake caused a 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) fissure in the ground which spread over a length of 25 kilometers (16 mi). Some geologists believe that the earthquake was due to reservoir-triggered seismic activity, but senior project officials have repeatedly denied this conclusion.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran
The 1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran erupted in March 1967, as part of the long-running Kurdish separatist struggle. Abrahamian describes the revolt as a Marxist insurgency with the aim of establishing autonomy for Kurds in Iran, modeled as a federal republic. The revolt, consolidating several tribal uprisings which had begun in 1966, was inspired by the First Iraqi–Kurdish War in neighboring Iraq and enjoyed the support of the recovering Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran, previously crushed during the 1946 Iran crisis. The 1967 revolt, coordinated into a semi-organized campaign in the Mahabad-Urumiya region by the revived KDPI party, was entirely subdued by the central Iranian government.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Background
By 1941, when Reza Shah was deposed by the occupying British, his government had had some success in "pacifying" Kurdish tribes. In 1943, an important Kurdish party was established in Iran – the Committee of Kurdish Youth (Komala-i-Zhian-i-Kurd) – and in 1945 the movement transformed into the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI).


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Background
Both parties challenged the central Iranian government after World War II.The separatist conflict escalated in 1945, fuelled by Soviet Union support to the Kurds, and eventually leading to the Iran crisis of 1946, which included an attempt of KDPI to establish the independent Republic of Mahabad in Iranian Kurdistan. The attempt failed, with the military victory of the Iranian forces and the Republic was abolished, with its leaders executed. Some 1,000 died during the crisis. In the aftermath of Mahabad’s collapse, the KDP‐I "effectively ceased to exist", with an exception of a handful of exiles in Iraq.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Background
The party’s urban supporters essentially disappeared into obscurity and, for the next 15 years, there was virtually no Kurdish political activity. The absence of a local Kurdish armed force in Iran, and of a large urban population ready to be mobilized against the central government, left Iranian Kurds waiting for an external shock to provide an opportunity, much as the Second World War had.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Revival of KDPI and Kurdish battle of 1967
The shock for the Iranian Kurdish national movement came with the eruption of the First Iraqi–Kurdish War in neighboring Iraq in 1961. When the 1958–1961 rapprochement in Iraq collapsed, the KDP‐Iran supported Iraqi Kurds; in the process, the leadership and subsequent social orientation of both Iran's and Iraq's Kurdish Democratic Parties turned conservative. Facing a newly consolidated Iraqi government by 1965, Mulla Mustafa turned against his former military allies and KDP‐I supporters and came to an agreement with the Shah, that called for him to "restrain" KDP‐I activities against the Iranian government.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Revival of KDPI and Kurdish battle of 1967
Mullah Mustafa went further, "subordinating the struggle in Iran to that in Iraq" and "warning that KDP‐Iran militants would not be tolerated in Iraqi Kurdistan". The result of this was that the conservative leadership of the KDP‐Iran was ousted and new, mostly former Iranian Tudeh (Communist) Party leaders took over the party's leadership. They formed a Revolutionary Committee and declared their support for sporadic peasant uprisings against the National Police around Mahabad and Urumiya.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Revival of KDPI and Kurdish battle of 1967
Lacking a significant social base, this new leadership was quickly crushed: even though the KDPI's forces managed to inflict serious losses on the Iranian army, they failed due to lack of logistical support. Within months, eight of the eleven members of the Revolutionary Committee had been murdered by Iranian soldiers, and the movement lasted less than eighteen months. Over 40 KDPI party members were killed and their bodies handed over by Mullah Mustafa's men to the Iranian authorities.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Aftermath
The surviving KDPI elements re-consolidated following the defeat, with bitterness against the betrayal of Mullah Mustafa. From March 1970, a new "Provisional Central Committee" began to prepare a new part program, approved at the third KDPI party conference in Baghdad in June 1971. During the third conference a new party secretary-general was elected – Abd al-Rahman Qasimlu. Under his guidance, the Third Congress in 1973 adopted the slogan "Democracy for Iran, autonomy for Kurdistan", committing for the armed struggle. Over the next years, KDPI found itself in-line with other opponents of the government, cooperating with some of the Marxist as well as Islamic parties.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Aftermath
The game changed with the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which failed to provide the Kurdish demands for autonomy, but on the contrary faced those with an even harsher bitterness than the previous monarch regime. The conflict between the new Iranian government and the KDPI and its allies gradually escalated, until reaching a point of no-return in March 1979. The outbreaking rebellion was led by the KDPI and its allies in Iranian Kurdistan, becoming the most violent uprising against the new Iranian government, following the Islamic Revolution of February 1979. The Kurdish rebellion was defeated in December 1982, with 10,000 killed and 200,000 displaced.


1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran, Aftermath
Though defeated, the KDPI turned to open fighting once again between 1989 and 1996, as an insurrection by the KDPI took place in Iranian Kurdistan, due to the assassination of its exiled leader Ghassemlou in July 1989 by Iranian negotiators. The KDPI insurrection ended in 1996, when the KDPI announced a unilateral cease fire, having been subdued by targeted assassinations of its leaders and a crackdown on its supporters in Iran. Since the Iranian elections on 1997, a more moderate government eased the crackdown on KDPI as well. KDPI has retained a low level political activity in exile through the late 1990s and early 2000s, signing a cooperation agreement with Komala in 2012.

1967 Liberal Party leadership election
The 1967 Liberal Party leadership election was called following the resignation of Jo Grimond, in the wake of disappointing results in the 1966 general election.


1967 Liberal Party leadership election, Background
There were three candidates (Jeremy Thorpe, Emlyn Hooson and Eric Lubbock), who were elected by a ballot of the Liberal Parliamentary Party using Alternative Vote. Jeremy Thorpe secured the most votes in the first round, but did not win overall, as the rules said that he needed to win more than half of votes cast. Both Hooson and Lubbock's second preferences voted for one another, cancelling one another out, so faced with a deadlock, both other candidates withdrew from the contest to endorse Thorpe who was consequentially elected unopposed.


1967 Liberal Party leadership election, Background
Although the vote was by a secret ballot, Liberal MP Peter Bessell later published a memoir in which he asserted that Jo Grimond, John Pardoe, David Steel, James Davidson and himself all voted for Thorpe; Alasdair Mackenzie and Russell Johnston voted for Hooson; and Michael Winstanley and Richard Wainwright voted for Lubbock. All three candidates voted for themselves. Bessell also confesses to having caused some confusion by pledging his vote to both Thorpe and Hooson, although he ultimately cast his vote for Thorpe after realising that he had greater momentum.

It was the Dodgers' worst record since the war-affected 1944 season, and their worst peacetime record since 1937. The Dodgers would not return to the postseason until 1974.


1967 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Season Recap
The Dodgers were coming off back to back National League titles, but were mildly surprised by ace pitcher Sandy Koufax's retirement after the 1966 season. Still, while not expected to be a contender in 1967, there was a solid nucleus that would have been expected to win in the neighborhood of 85 games. However, a couple of questionable trades (Tommy Davis for Ron Hunt, and Maury Wills for Bob Bailey and Gene Michael) further weakened an offense that was already considered below average.


1967 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Season Recap
In April, leading hitter and team home run leader Lou Johnson was injured sliding into home against the Braves and missed two months of the season. New shortstop Gene Michael batted .202, a full 100 points less than the man he replaced, as Maury Wills batted .302 for the Pirates. Ron Fairly, Willie Davis, and Bob Bailey all slumped off from their 1966 production; but one of the few bright spots was rookie Al Ferrara's .277 average and 16 home runs in just over half the season. Ultimately, the Dodgers scored fewer runs than any National League team except the last place Mets.

Rookie Bill Singer was 12–8 with a 2.64 ERA, Don Drysdale was 13–16 with a 2.74 ERA, and Claude Osteen was 17–17 with a 3.22 ERA. Don Sutton suffered from a "sophomore jinx", as he went 11–15 with a 3.95 ERA, nearly a full run higher than his 2.99 ERA in 1966. The bull pen was led by Ron Perranoski, Jim Brewer, and Phil Regan, who combined for 23 saves and all had an ERA under 3.
