1967 USSR Chess Championship, The Championship
Tal dominated from the creative point of view, but Polugaevsky hung on doggedly to share first place. His first-round experience was repeated in the last round when he had to play the strong grandmaster Ratmir Kholmov, whereas Tal had the easier task of meeting Valery Zhuravlyov. Both won, but Polugayevsky's task was clearly the harder. He only broke down Kholmov's resistance in an English Opening after 51 moves. In a sense Polugayevsky had declined a challenge since after the moves 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 in the penultimate round, Polugaevsky offered a draw to Tal, which was accepted. For the sake of decency, they played another dozen moves, but Tal, as Black, had better reasons to be satisfied with this grandmaster draw.

1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak
The 1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak was a major outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the United Kingdom. The only centre of the disease, in contrast to the three concentrated areas in the 2001 crisis, was on the Wales border with Shropshire. France and other European countries were also affected by the crisis.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Background
There were three official inquires into the foot-and-mouth epidemics and the Government’s response in the fifty years prior to the 1967 outbreak. These occurred in 1922, 1923-1924, and 1953. In the 1950s, there was a substantial outbreak across the United Kingdom. Of the thirteen years leading up to the 1967 outbreak, there were only two years that there was no reported outbreak. During this period, foot-and-mouth was prevalent across Europe.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Outbreak
In October 1967, a farmer from Bryn Farm in the county of Shropshire, concerned by the health of one of their sows, sought veterinary advice and the animal was found to have contracted foot-and-mouth disease. Bryn Farm was immediately put into quarantine and general animal movement was banned. The virus rapidly spread to the nearby Ellis Farm. Two cows from the latter had already been sent to market, leaving the farmers in a vulnerable position. In the following months, over 2,364 outbreaks were detected in the United Kingdom. Ninety-four percent of the cases occurred in North-West Midlands and North Wales.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Reports
The Minister for Agriculture, Frederick Peart, appointed a committee to investigate the outbreak. The Report of the Committee of Inquiry on Foot-and-Mouth Disease part 1 and part 2 were published on 7 March 1969 and 3 November 1969. This report became more commonly known as the Northumberland Report. It provided recommendations to keep the disease out of the country and plans for fighting the foot-and-mouth disease.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Reports
Origins of the 1967-8 Foot-and-Mouth Disease Epidemic was published by the Chief Veterinary Officer, John Reid, on 7 February 1968. This report described the lessons learned from the outbreak.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Aftermath
After the outbreak, the United Kingdom adopted a policy to control imports from countries where foot-and-mouth is endemic. After creating this policy, the only outbreak to occur until 2001 was in 1981 on the Isle of Wight.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Issues, Spread of disease
According to John Bennett, a young farmer at the time of the crisis at Manor Farm in Worcestershire, the disease was introduced into the county "when a local farmer fed skimmed milk, bought from Shropshire where the disease was raging out of control, to his pigs".


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Issues, Animal slaughter
Over the course of six months, 430,000 animals across 2300 farms were slaughtered. The average number of animals that were slaughtered in each confirmed case was around 200.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, Issues, Human transmission
The 1967 crisis saw the last reported case of human foot-and-mouth disease. The victim was a farm-worker who was believed to have contracted the virus by consuming contaminated milk. The disease was not life-threatening and they were able to recover within several weeks.


1967 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, In popular culture
The outbreak was referenced by the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It also featured in the drama series Heartbeat.


1967 United Nations Security Council election
The 1967 United Nations Security Council election was held on 6 November 1967 during the Twenty-second session of the United Nations General Assembly, held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The General Assembly elected Algeria, Hungary, Pakistan, Paraguay, and Senegal, as the five new non-permanent members of the UN Security Council for two-year mandates commencing on 1 January 1968. Algeria and Senegal saw their first election into the council.


1967 United Nations Security Council election, Rules
The Security Council has 15 seats, filled by five permanent members and ten non-permanent members. Each year, half of the non-permanent members are elected for two-year terms. A sitting member may not immediately run for re-election.


1967 United Nations Security Council election, Rules
In accordance with the rules whereby the ten non-permanent UNSC seats rotate among the various regional blocs into which UN member states traditionally divide themselves for voting and representation purposes, the five available seats are allocated as follows:


1967 United Nations Security Council election, Rules
To be elected, a candidate must receive a two-thirds majority of those present and voting. If the vote is inconclusive after the first round, three rounds of restricted voting shall take place, followed by three rounds of unrestricted voting, and so on, until a result has been obtained. In restricted voting, only official candidates may be voted on, while in unrestricted voting, any member of the given regional group, with the exception of current Council members, may be voted on.


1967 United Nations Security Council election, Result
The election was managed by the then-President of the United Nations General Assembly Corneliu Mănescu of Romania. At this date the UN had 122 member states (for a timeline of UN membership, see Enlargement of the United Nations). Delegates of the member states were to write the names of the five countries they wished to elect on the ballot papers. There were no nominations prior to the election. Voting was conducted by secret ballot, and on a single ballot. 118 ballot papers were used.


1967 United States Grand Prix
The 1967 United States Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on October 1, 1967, at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race Course in Watkins Glen, New York. It was race 10 of 11 in both the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The 108-lap race was won by Lotus driver Jim Clark after he started from second position. His teammate Graham Hill finished second and Brabham driver Denny Hulme came in third.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
Jim Clark nursed his limping car through the final two laps and came home six seconds ahead of Lotus teammate Graham Hill to win his third and final American Grand Prix. It was the Scot's third win of the season, and the twenty-third of his career. The following April, Clark was killed in a Formula Two race in Germany, but two more wins (in Mexico and South Africa) gave him the most wins in Grand Prix history with 25, one more than Argentina's Juan Manuel Fangio.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
Since they had appeared at the third race of the year in the Netherlands, Colin Chapman's Lotus 49s had been the fastest cars on the track, taking the pole in all seven races they entered. The reliability of the Lotus cars had been another issue entirely, however, and, when the series returned to North America for the final two races, the only remaining contenders for the Driver's Championship were Brabham teammates Sir Jack (the defending Champion) and Denny Hulme.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
Friday practice began under a dark, misty cloud and, as the weather slowly improved, the Lotus cars again posted the fastest times with Clark ahead of Hill. Saturday was much clearer, and nearly everyone improved their time from the previous day. Late in the session, Clark posted a 1:06.07, breaking the 125 mph average speed barrier, and seemingly securing the pole. Hill, however, was still set on winning the $1,000 prize for the pole, and, with Clark testing his car's handling on full tanks, he snatched the prize from his teammate with a time of 1:05.48. Dan Gurney, who had become the first American to win a Grand Prix in a car of his own design at Belgium, was third in the Eagle-Weslake, and Chris Amon was fourth in the only Ferrari present.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
A crowd of 80,000 was greeted with beautiful bright sun on race day. The previous evening, Walter Hayes, public affairs director of Ford of Dagenham, who had contributed £75,000 toward the development of the Cosworth-Ford V8, demonstrated his confidence in a good showing by the two Lotus-Ford drivers when he proposed that they should flip a coin to choose the winner, in case both cars were in contention at the end of the race! The drivers agreed when they decided that the arrangement could be reversed in Mexico, and Hill won the toss.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
At the start, the Lotus teammates jumped into the lead, and at the end of the first lap, Hill led Clark, Gurney, Brabham, Amon, Hulme and Bruce McLaren. On lap two, Gurney moved past Clark for second place, and soon after, Hulme moved ahead of Amon and then his team leader, Brabham. On lap 10, Clark replaced Gurney in second, while Amon began to move forward in the Ferrari. He first got around Brabham, then on lap 21 passed Hulme and Gurney to take third, as the American slowed with a broken suspension.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
To everyone's surprise, Amon closed the gap to the Lotus pair, but lost four seconds trying to lap Jo Bonnier's Cooper. He closed up again, gaining ground in the twisty sections, but losing as they exited the fast corners. The three leaders lapped Jo Siffert and John Surtees, but apparently Surtees objected to Amon's hand signals as he did, and the Honda squeezed back ahead of the Ferrari under braking, despite being three laps behind! On lap 61, Surtees developed a misfire, and Amon shot by to take off after the leaders again.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
Hill surrendered the lead to Clark when his clutch froze and he was briefly unable to change gear. As Clark pulled ahead, Amon caught Hill on lap 65. While the Englishman struggled to find a gear, the Ferrari went through for second place. Amon, however, suddenly saw his oil pressure drop on lap 76, and Hill regained second place. After eight laps, when Hill's Lotus again was unable to select a gear, Amon moved back into second until lap 96, when, after a scintillating drive, his engine finally ran out of oil entirely.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
With Hill too far behind to take up the claim on first he had 'won' the night before, Clark seemed home free. Then, halfway through lap 106, a support broke on the top of his right rear suspension, causing the wheel to sag inward. The Scot craned his neck around to assess the damage, and began nursing the car toward the finish, taking particular care on left-handers! Hill was 45 seconds back with two laps to run, 23 seconds as they entered the final lap. With both green and yellow Lotus cars ailing, they limped around the last lap. Finally, Clark crossed the line, six seconds ahead of Hill.


1967 United States Grand Prix, Summary
Hulme might have been able to do something about them at the end, but his Brabham's engine was sputtering for lack of fuel, and he coasted across in third.

1967 VFA Grand Final
The 1967 VFA Division 1 Grand Final was an Australian rules football match played between the Dandenong Redlegs and the Port Melbourne Borough. The match was held on Sunday 24 September 1967 at the Punt Road Oval in Jolimont, Melbourne, to decide the Division 1 Premiership for the 1967 Victorian Football Association season.


1967 VFA Grand Final
The match was described by historian John Devaney as "indisputably one of the most infamous matches in Australian football history". after Port Melbourne captain-coach Brian Buckley nearly led his team off the field in protest at the performance of umpire David Jackson. Dandenong went on to win the game 16.13 (109) to 12.12 (84), securing the first Division 1 premiership in Dandenong's history.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Background
The Dandenong Football Club had joined the VFA less than ten years earlier, and had been promoted from Division 2 to Division 1 after 1962. Port Melbourne had been in the VFA since the 1880s, and had been regular finalists since the end of World War II. Port Melbourne was the defending Division 1 premier, and had contested the previous three Grand Finals.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Background
Dandenong and Port Melbourne played each other twice during the 1967 home-and-away season. In Round 1, Port Melbourne defeated Dandenong by eight points, 14.14 (98) to 13.12 (90), with full-forward John Peck, on debut for Port Melbourne, scoring six goals; in the return match, in tough, muddy conditions, Dandenong defeated Port Melbourne by four points, 8.15 (63) to 9.5 (59), with Jim Miller kicking four goals for Dandenong.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Background
At the end of the home and away season, Dandenong finished on top of the ladder, with Port Melbourne second. Dandenong entered the second semi-final as narrow favourites to win, but Port Melbourne won the match by 26 points, 14.7 (91) to 9.11 (65). Dandenong faced Sandringham in the preliminary final, winning 15.10 (100) to 11.15 (81), to progress to the Division 1 Grand Final for the first time in club history.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Background
In the lead-up to the Preliminary Final, Dandenong captain-coach Alan Morrow had invited Allan Jeans, then the senior coach at the VFL's St Kilda Football Club, to lead a training session, which was focussed on maximising the team's physical strength; the session was described by players as one of the toughest the team had faced during the season. Following the success of this, Jeans was invited to sit on the Dandenong bench during the Grand Final, to allow Morrow to concentrate more fully on the play.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Background
The field umpire for the match was David Jackson. The match was played at the Punt Road Oval, a neutral venue. The attendance of the match is unclear, as it was reported to be 17,000 in The Age, and 25,000 in the Sun News-Pictorial. It was the first VFA Grand Final to be televised, as ATV-0 had secured broadcast rights for the Association at the start of that year.


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, First half
The beginning of the match was a tough, physical, and oftentimes violent encounter. Dandenong had the better of play through the first quarter, assisted in large part by captain-coach and ruckman Alan Morrow, who controlled the ruck contests, and provided a valuable forward option when resting; Dandenong followers David Sheehan and Alan McDonald provided much of the midfield drive from those ruck contests, and Dandenong centre Rod Evans kept the highly regarded young Port Melbourne rover Peter Bedford quiet. Dandenong led by ten points at quarter time, 4.5 (29) to 3.1 (19).


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, First half
Off the ball, brawls regularly broke out between the two sides. On many occasions, umpires, trainers and other officials were forced to enter the arena to break up the fights. Three players were reported in the first quarter: Dandenong's Alan Osborne was reported for kicking Bedford; Port Melbourne's Gary Ireland was reported for striking Jim McNamara; and Port Melbourne's Graeme Taggart was reported for using continuous abusive language towards umpire David Jackson. The fighting continued into the second quarter of the match.


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, First half, Walk-off
Midway through the second quarter, after a free kick was paid against a team-mate, Port Melbourne's John Peck approached and argued with Jackson. At this stage, Port Melbourne was on the wrong end of a lopsided free kick count – by half time, Dandenong had received 26 free kicks to Port Melbourne's nine – and Peck had been penalised more than most. In an incident which lasted three minutes, Peck continued to argue with Jackson, and Jackson reported Peck for using abusive language and disputing his decisions; as Jackson attempted to look at the back of Peck's guernsey to take his number, Peck repeatedly walked away to prevent Jackson from doing so.


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, First half, Walk-off
Port Melbourne captain-coach Brian Buckley, who was nearby to Jackson and Peck during this altercation, ordered his players to leave the field in protest at Jackson's performance. Half of the team had reached the boundary, as Jackson prepared to restart play anyway, before Port Melbourne secretary Norm Goss Sr. and treasurer John Paton ordered them to return to the field and continue playing.


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, First half, Walk-off
Dandenong led by nineteen points at the time of the incident, and Port Melbourne closed the deficit to only six points at half time, Dandenong leading 8.5 (53) to 7.5 (47).


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, Second half
Port Melbourne played the better football in the third quarter of the match; Bedford was able to overcome Evans' defensive effort and provide good drive out of the midfield for Port Melbourne, and backmen John Caulfield and Geoff Grover improved after leaving their men too loose in the first half. Midway through the quarter, Port Melbourne led by seven points, a 26-point turnaround since the walk-off. Dandenong then kicked late goals to take a four-point lead into three-quarter time, 11.9 (75) to 10.11 (71).


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, Second half
Dandenong dominated the final quarter of the match, kicking five quick goals to put the game beyond Port Melbourne's reach. Dandenong's half forward flankers, John Townsend and Brian Hill, were dominant, and Dandenong's physical strength through the game was reported to have left Port Melbourne too tired to remain competitive in the final quarter. The final margin was 25 points, Dandenong winning 16.13 (109) to 12.12 (84).


1967 VFA Grand Final, The Game, Overall
Both the Age reporter Michael de Kretser and the Sun News-Pictorial reporter Chris de Kretser agreed that, while the scores had been close for much of the match, Dandenong was clearly the better team overall. Michael de Kretser described it as "the toughest Grand Final for years". Dandenong had an important input from its two ruckmen, Morrow and Eddie Melai, who were strong in the midfield and contributed seven goals between them while resting in the forward line. There was no obvious choice as best player on the ground, with different sources considering Morrow or Hugh Mitchell to be Dandenong's best player, and Caulfield, Ireland or Jim Renouf to be best for Port Melbourne.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath
In the immediate aftermath of the match, Jackson's umpiring performance, particularly in relation to Peck, was the main point of discussion. Jackson was reported to have paid a total of fourteen free kicks against Peck in the match, as many as thirteen of which may have come in the first half.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, John Peck
Peck was a new recruit for Port Melbourne in 1967. At age 29, he was an established star player in the more popular and higher quality Victorian Football League. He had requested a transfer from his club, Hawthorn, to Port Melbourne, believing that he would be able to prolong his career for a further four or five years in the Association. Peck was one of the highest profile League players to switch to the Association since the 1940s, having played more than 200 games with Hawthorn, and having been the League leading goalkicker in 1963, 1964 and 1965.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, John Peck
Throughout the season, Peck had been consistently frustrated by the Association umpires, frequently conceding many more free kicks than he received; Goss stated that Grand Final emergency umpire Alan O'Neil was the only umpire who had "given Peck a fair go" during the season.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, John Peck
This opinion was also held by some outside of the Port Melbourne Football Club; future Hall of Fame football writer Alf Brown of the Herald had noted this during the year, and speculated that the Association umpires may have been showing bias against Peck because he was such a well-established League player – in Brown's exact words, "we'll show this League slicker he is not going to put anything over us."


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, John Peck
Immediately following the Grand Final, Peck told Port Melbourne officials that he felt he had been umpired out of the game, and that he intended to retire immediately, but Goss convinced him to stay on; he ultimately retired at the end of 1968.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, David Jackson
Jackson's umpiring performance was the subject of much discussion, both positive and negative. Those reporting on the game agreed that Jackson had made many errors in Dandenong's favour, with Chris de Kretser describing some of his decisions against Port Melbourne in the second quarter as "shocking", and The Sporting Globe reporter Jim Blake agreeing that Jackson had made several mistakes during the game. However, Blake also praised Jackson for his courage in upholding his decisions even when the walk-off threatened to draw the game into either chaos or farce; Dandenong captain-coach Alan Morrow agreed with Blake's praise for Jackson in the difficult situation.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, David Jackson
Port Melbourne voiced its displeasure at Jackson's performance, and somebody at the club reportedly went as far as telling the media that "the umpiring was so poor that it upset Port's players, and put VFA football back ten years." However, Port Melbourne did not attempt to lodge any sort of formal complaint against Jackson.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, David Jackson
In a separate incident early in the second quarter, and prior to the walk-off, Jackson was knocked unconscious in an accidental collision with Dandenong's Eddie Melai. The collision occurred when Melai, who was running downfield to follow the play, ran into Jackson, who had suddenly stopped and turned to follow a brawl which had just started. Smelling salts were used to wake Jackson up, and he was able to continue umpiring; it has never been suggested that his performance was impaired by after-effects from the collision.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Aftermath, Fred Allen
VFA umpires adviser, Fred Allen, controversially spoke out against the Port Melbourne Football Club for the walk-off, describing the conduct as "disgraceful, undisciplined and unsporting", and stating "when a side is influenced from outside the fence to leave the ground it is beyond my comprehension." Port Melbourne lodged a formal complaint against Allen for the comment, and secretary Norm Goss made it clear that the decision to lead the walk-off was entirely that of onfield captain-coach Brian Buckley, and that it was the club's off-field personnel who in fact prevented the walk-off from being completed. Goss also pointed out that the players believed the walk-off was justified, and were unhappy with him for averting it.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Match day reports
The VFA commission meeting to address the four match-day reports was held on 3 October, more than a week after the match. Anticipating a hostile response from Port Melbourne in the event of findings against its players, the commission requested two policemen to attend the hearing; Goss considered this to be insulting towards his club.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Match day reports
In the hearing, Peck pleaded "not guilty under severe provocation" to abusing Jackson and disputing his decisions; he had intended to plead "guilty under severe provocation" to disputing decisions, and not guilty to using abusive language, but was forced to enter a single plea for the entire charge. Jackson testified that Peck had disputed his decisions four times, used abusive language fourteen times, and impeded him from taking his number six times.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Match day reports
Buckley, who had been in vicinity of the incident for much of its duration, and Peck both testified that no abusive language had been used, and that Peck had been seeking clarification on the decision, rather than disputing it. The commission did not believe that Jackson had lied, and suspended Peck for six matches; in handing down the penalty, the commission stated that it recognised that it was severe, but considered it to be justified. When the suspension was handed down, Port Melbourne team advocate Charles Chrimes stood up and loudly denounced the commission, accusing it of being biased against his club, and shouting "Peck has been victimised out of VFA football", before slamming his chair against the table and storming out.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Match day reports
Port Melbourne's other two players facing charges were also suspended: Graeme Taggart was suspended for three matches for abusing Jackson, and Gary Ireland was suspended for two matches for striking. Dandenong's only reported player, Alan Osborne, was cleared of his kicking charge.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Legacy
This game has become one of the most well-known events and controversies in VFA/VFL history, and in 2008, the incident was recognised as one of the 150 Greatest Moments in Australian rules football history, compiled by the Australian Football League to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the sport.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Legacy
Many sources written decades after the match give a different interpretation of the game, and indicate that it was only after the incident between Jackson and Peck which sparked the walk-off that Peck began to concede free kicks – carrying an implication that Jackson deliberately umpired Peck out of the game as retribution. This version of events was given in a 1989 edition of the Recorder, and on the AFL's 150 Greatest Moments website. However, all newspaper reports from 1967 dispute this, and indicate that both Peck and Port Melbourne were already well behind on the free kick count when the walk-off occurred.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Legacy
Had Port Melbourne followed through with its walk-off, it would have been the second time a VFA team had forfeited its chance to contest the premiership in protest of umpiring; in 1904, minor premiers Richmond refused to play a challenge final against North Melbourne because of the appointment of umpire Allen to the match. In this case, both the Richmond players and committee were in favour of forfeiting the game, and the major premiership was awarded to North Melbourne.


1967 VFA Grand Final, Grand Final teams
The field umpire was David Jackson; and the emergency umpire was Alan O'Neil.


1967 VFA season
The 1967 Victorian Football Association season was the 86th season of the top division of the Australian rules football competition, and the seventh season of second division competition. The Division 1 premiership was won by the Dandenong Football Club, after it defeated Port Melbourne in a controversial Grand Final on 24 September by 25 points; it was Dandenong's first Division 1 premiership. The Division 2 premiership was won by Oakleigh, in its first season after relegation from Division 1.


1967 VFA season, Division 1
The Division 1 home-and-home season was played over 18 rounds; the top four then contested the finals under the Page–McIntyre system. The finals were held for the first time at the Punt Road Oval, in Richmond.


1967 VFA season, Division 1, Grand Final
Dandenong won the Grand Final, which is best remembered for the controversial events of its second quarter. After seeing a free kick go against a teammate, Port Melbourne full forward John Peck approached and argued with umpire David Jackson. Jackson reported Peck for using abusive language and for disputing his decisions, and Peck repeatedly turned away from Jackson to prevent him from seeing his guernsey number to report him.


1967 VFA season, Division 1, Grand Final
Port Melbourne was already unhappy with the lopsided free kick count against it; and, after seeing this incident, Port Melbourne captain-coach Brian Buckley assembled his team to walk off the ground and forfeit the match in protest at Jackson's performance; much of the team had already reached the sidelines before Port Melbourne club officials ordered them to return to the ground. The rest of the game was played without incident, and Dandenong went on to win by 25 points.


1967 VFA season, Division 2
The Division 2 home-and-home season was played over eighteen rounds; the top four then contested the finals under the Page–McIntyre system. All finals were played on Sundays at Coburg Oval, after having been played at Toorak Park from 1961 until 1966; crowds at Coburg were much lower than they had been at Toorak Park, and finals returned to Toorak Park in 1968.


1967 VFA season, Notable events, Transfer fees
In early April, shortly before the start of the season, the Association Board on Management agreed by a 25–14 majority to impose a minimum transfer fee of $3,000 for any of its players. The fee was an attempt to stem the flow of young Association players to the Victorian Football League, and also to increase the financial reward to Association clubs for developing League-standard players if they did leave.


1967 VFA season, Notable events, Transfer fees
There were several problems which made the Association's move impractical. Outside the Association and among many clubs who had voted against the motion, the $3,000 price tag was considered to be outrageously and unrealistically high, considering that most of the players involved were young players being rated solely on their potential. Additionally, while transfer fees were an established practice in British and American football, there was not yet a formal transfer fee system within Australian football. Finally, the Victorian Football League's player payment laws (the "Coulter Laws") specifically prohibited the "buying" of players from other clubs – and therefore any club which paid a transfer fee to the Association would be in breach of League rules.


1967 VFA season, Notable events, Transfer fees
Shortly after the fee was imposed, the dissenting Association clubs led a campaign to repeal it, fearing reprisal from the League. True to these fears, the League Board of Management voted in late April to end its 1949 reciprocity agreement with the Association, allowing Association players to transfer directly to the League without a clearance; players who did so were suspended from the Association for five years, but the suspension was not recognised in the League.


1967 VFA season, Notable events, Transfer fees
There were few such transfers over the following years, in part because players were reluctant to risk a five-year ban from the Association if they were never able to forge a successful League career. The highest profile move before the 1967 season was that of young Prahran centreman Kevin Sheedy, who went to Richmond without a clearance and without Prahran receiving any of the $5,000 transfer fee which was set for him.


1967 VFA season, Notable events, Transfer fees
On 5 May, the Association Board of Management agreed by an overwhelming majority to reduce the minimum transfer fee to $500 per player (with a maximum of $5,000), after an earlier motion to rescind the minimum transfer fee entirely failed to gain the two-thirds majority it required. Despite the change, its reciprocity agreement with the League was not reinstated. The transfer fee rule remained in place until April 1969.


1967 VFL Grand Final
The 1967 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Richmond Football Club and Geelong Football Club at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 23 September 1967. It was the 71st annual grand final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1967 VFL season. The match, attended by 109,396 spectators, was won by Richmond by a margin of nine points, marking the club's sixth VFL premiership and their first since 1943.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Background
After having last qualified for a VFL finals series in 1947, the Tigers made wholesale changes to the club in the 1960s in a bid to return to the top of the competition. In 1962, Graeme Richmond became club secretary and began instilling his trademark ruthless approach to the administration. In 1964, lawyer Ray Dunn became club president and was instrumental in moving the club's home games from Punt Road Oval to the MCG. That same year, Len Smith, brother of Melbourne premiership coach Norm, was appointed senior coach.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Background
Regarded as a pioneer of the modern game, Smith struggled with ill health during his tenure, but his trailblazing ideas and methods were embraced by his successor Tom Hafey, who took the reins in 1966. In what would be a closely contested season, the Tigers were sitting on top of the ladder at the end of Round 14, but losses to Collingwood and Geelong saw them fall out of the Top Four and end the season in fifth place. In the lead-up to 1967, the Richmond committee replaced Neville Crowe with Fred Swift as club captain.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Background
Harnessing the disappointment of the previous season's close finish, and with the final pieces of the puzzle in place with the arrival of future captain Royce Hart, Graeme Bond and Kevin Sheedy, the Tigers won 15 games to take out their first minor premiership since 1944. Second-placed Carlton went into the Second Semi-final as the favourites due to Richmond's lack of finals experience; none of the Richmond players had ever played in a senior VFL final. But urged on by coach Hafey and secretary Richmond, the Tigers went into attack time and time again in the second half, eventually emerging winners by 40 points and qualifying directly for the Grand Final.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Background
Mirroring the town's fortunes for the decade, Geelong had qualified for the last five VFL finals series, claiming the flag in 1963 under the coaching of Bob Davis, the captaincy of Fred Wooller and the brilliance of legendary ruckman Graham "Polly" Farmer. Davis was replaced by former teammate Peter Pianto as senior coach in 1966 and guided Geelong to third place, but poor kicking for goal in the last quarter of the First Semi-final against Essendon saw them lose by ten points. The Cats again finished third on the ladder in 1967 and faced fourth-placed Collingwood in the First Semi-final.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Background
The game had been a tight tussle for three quarters, but in the final quarter, the Cats unleashed a six-goal burst to turn a one-point lead into a comfortable 30-point victory. However, they had lost second ruck Sam Newman early in the game with what was later discovered to be severe internal bleeding from a ruptured kidney, making him unavailable for the remainder of the finals. In the Preliminary final against Carlton two weeks later, Geelong turned a 27-point half-time deficit into a 29-point win with a stunning second half that included eight goals to one in the third quarter.

1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary
It was Richmond's first Grand Final since it lost the 1944 VFL Grand Final, while Geelong had most recently appeared in the 1963 VFL Grand Final. Richmond had finished atop the home-and-away ladder with a 15–3 record, and Geelong had finished third with 13–5.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, First Quarter
The game began at a fast and furious pace. Geelong attacked from the first bounce, but it took six minutes before Gordon Hynes registered the first score - a behind. Shortly after, John Sharrock kicked the first goal of the match after taking a courageous mark. Geelong continued to attack and Doug Wade missed after marking close to goal. Richmond’s first goal came after John Ronaldson, replacing the suspended Neville Crowe, was awarded a free kick in the forward pocket.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, First Quarter
Ronaldson's kick went off the side of his boot, but Royce Hart anticipated well to take an easy chest mark and goal. The Cats replied quickly through Bill Goggin, who roved the ball off a pack at top pace and drop-kicked a superb goal. Richmond fought back with goals to Alan “Bull” Richardson and Bill Brown, both from free kicks. Tempers started to flare as defender Graham Burgin repelled two Geelong attacks, the second time with a fine mark. Bill Barrot had started well and was driving Richmond into attack with long, penetrating kicks. Score at quarter time: Richmond 4.3 (27) to Geelong 3.3 (21)


1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Third Quarter
The score at half time was Richmond 9.10 (64) to Geelong 7.6 (48). Geelong came out firing in the third quarter and quickly erased the half-time deficit. Goggin goaled shortly after play restarted, and then Gareth Andrews then followed with a long goal, which seemed to swing back at the last moment. The Cats hit the front when Wade kicked truly from the boundary after receiving a free kick. Geelong was playing excellent football as Farmer palmed the ball to Goggin, who in turn passed to the dangerous Sharrock. Two rushed behinds gave Richmond the lead as the siren sounded for three-quarter time. Three quarter time score: Richmond 12.15 (87) to Geelong 13.7 (85).


1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth Quarter
The stage was set for what would be an epic last quarter. From the centre bounce, Barrot won the ball and kicked long into attack. Guinane collected the ball in the right forward pocket but his kick went across the face of goal and out of bounds. From the throw-in, Ronaldson managed to tap the ball down to Bartlett, who ran onto the ball and snapped a goal to extend Richmond's lead to eight points. Both sides traded behinds before the Cats got their first goal of the term at the 10-minute mark through Ryan, who marked a superb drop-kick pass from Walker 30 yards out from goal directly in front, and kicked truly to bring the margin back to two points.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Match summary, Fourth Quarter
The lead changed several times in the quarter. At the 18 minute mark with Geelong holding a 6-point lead, John Ronaldson marked about 60 yards out on the flank and slotted an unlikely goal leveling the scores. Geelong scored a point followed by Richmond a few minutes later and at the 23 minute mark the scores were level again. Ronaldson, kicking from 55 yards on the opposite flank scored a goal at the 25 minute mark followed by Kevin Bartlett goaling at the 28 minute mark sealing the game. The closing minutes played at a furious pace by both teams despite the tiredness of the players including a defensive captains' mark by Fred Swift (playing in his last VFL game) on the Geelong goal-line,


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
The 1967 VFL Grand Final has been hailed as a classic in the annals of great Grand finals. In his article for the Canberra Times, published the day after the match, Rohan Rivett praised the skill standard of both teams while dismissing the doomsayers who decried the "modern" style of football:


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
When the siren sounded, scarcely a soul moved for the exits. The second biggest crowd in grand final history, 109,396 people stood and applauded all 36 players, because in this game victor and vanquished gave their all in the most spectacular exhibition of the code even the oldest connoisseurs can recall. Soul-searching about the game in recent years has not been confined to the old and bold who deplore the insistence of play-on tactics and speed at all costs which has robbed the spectator of the placekicking, the expert stabpassing, and other finer arts familiar to the prewar generation. More vitally, the mounting injury rate, despite modern panaceas in the dressing room, has suggested that Victorian league finals might come to be won by the biggest and toughest rather than the most talented. Yesterday indicated to all that this may be an illusion.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
It's the biggest thrill of my life. It really makes it worth while playing football after today's win. It was close, and at times I thought we might not win. But every player pulled his weight and I have never felt so happy. I'll never forget the thrill of running around ground holding the premiership cup. It's a thing you dream about - but today it came true.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
Our mistakes - free kicks, a couple of fumbles and miskicks - cost us the game. We looked like winning for most of the game, but we did not kick straight enough. Richmond was fortunate to get a goal in the final minutes. Richmond's win was good for football. Premierships are made to go around.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
Although there was no official Man of the Match award (the Norm Smith Medal would not be awarded until 1979), a panel which viewed the game retrospectively for the AFL Record's Grand Final edition in 2001, consisting of Sam Newman (who back in 1967 watched the game on television from his hospital bed while recovering from emergency surgery), former AFL CEO Wayne Jackson and respected football journalist Mike Sheahan, voted Bill Goggin as the best player on the day, with 20 kicks, ten handpasses and three goals. Kevin Bartlett and Royce Hart also received votes for their performances.


1967 VFL Grand Final, Post-match reactions and epilogue
Richmond, under the coaching of Tom Hafey, won three additional premierships: in 1969, in 1973, and in 1974.

Janssen also won the points classification and Mariano Diaz won the mountains classification.


1967 WANFL season
The 1967 WANFL season was the 83rd season of the various incarnations of the Western Australian National Football League. Its most salient feature was the decline of East Fremantle, the league's most successful club, to its worst season since its inaugural 1898 season. Old Easts – having during the first two-thirds of the century never won fewer than ten matches in a season – won only seven and finished second-last after looking set for a still-worse record during the first fifteen rounds.


1967 WANFL season
Their appointed captain-coach Bert Thornley resigned after twelve matches due to the club's bad form and his desire to play for Carlton in 1968. The blue and whites suffered severely from a bad run of injuries and form lapses amongst senior players like Sorrell, Spriggs, Rogers and Casserly, plus a serious weakness in attack due to the loss of Bob Johnson. Despite regaining Austin Robertson and acquiring Johnson, Subiaco continued their disastrous form of late 1966 for their worst season since 1953, as the loss of Slater and injuries to Brian Sarre left them decrepit in the ruck and defence.


1967 WANFL season
Future Hall of Fame coach John Todd had his first major success, lifting 1965 and 1966 wooden spooners South Fremantle to their third finals berth and first victory since 1956. Early in the season the red and whites were the nearest rivals to East Perth, who won fifteen of their first sixteen matches before fading. Perth had been a 2/1 flag favourite before the season started but lost six of their first eleven matches before coming back to always have the edge on East Perth during August and September. Claremont, after a frustrating 1966, recovered from a disastrous start before being denied a finals berth in the last few minutes.


1967 WANFL season
A lowlight was a career-ending knee injury to champion West Perth centre half-back Brian France on 8 July against East Fremantle. At the time France had polled eighteen votes in the Sandover Medal and was still within one vote of tying despite playing only thirteen full games.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 1
Subiaco’s star forwards Robertson – who played unsuccessfully at centre half-forward – and Johnson do not live up to their reputations and the Maroons’ sluggishness around the ground means South Fremantle are always winning.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 2
Keith Slater, Tony Nesbit and Bill Walker team wonderfully to down the flag favourites in a thrilling match where at the start Perth – especially Graham Jenzen with 1.7 (13) – fritter away chances to get a decisive break.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 4
Brilliant play by Jackson – who had been shaded by Whinnen for three quarters – takes the game from West Perth via four goals in the final five minutes to inflict a third straight defeat upon the Cardinals.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 5
28-year-old veteran Gerovich – in the reserves since August 1966 – produces a spectacular display at half-forward and with Peter Dougan equally brilliant on the other flank South Fremantle demolish a surprisingly weak Demon defence, taking an astonishing 110 marks to 44.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 8
With captain-coach Atwell dominant in his new role of ruckman, plus Cable and Jenzen gathering a combined 45 kicks and seven goals, Perth inflict what is still their biggest win over Old Easts. East Fremantle’s forward line had so little influence Demon full-back Mal Windsor had just three kicks and one mark.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 13
A seven-goal Royal third quarter with the breeze compensates for three indifferent stanzas to leave Perth again in the four only by percentage. Chadwick’s brilliant work on the wing in his comeback from injury was decisive.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Interstate match
A top-heavy South Australian team is overwhelmed by Western Australia’s speed around the packs and skill in moving the ball at great pace.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 16
East Perth produce a brilliant display of attacking football to confirm their flag favouritism and drop West Perth to fourth. East Perth’s pace, especially that of Jackson, was quite amazing.


1967 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 20
Bob Shields, unsuccessful in attack, does a superb job in the absence of suspended captain-coach Atwell to give the Demons a crucial win that takes them to second position by 19.9 percent – and having only to defeat bottom team Subiaco to stay there.


1967 WANFL season, Finals, First semi-final
South Fremantle’s strong ruck allows it to have little trouble with West Perth, as Fred Senior and Ivan Glucina beat the more experienced Boyanich and Brian Sampson in the red and whites’ first final for five seasons.


1967 WANFL season, Finals, Second semi-final
In a torrid low-scoring affair in dry but mild and windy weather, Perth hold on when East Perth wingman Gary Gillespie refuses a shot to win from 70 yards (64 m) on the boundary.


1967 WANFL season, Finals, Preliminary final
East Perth kick 14.14 (98) after half-time – including 9.4 (58) to 2.6 (18) into the wind in the final stanza – for their most convincing performance since the end of July. A switch of key forwards Tierney and Mal Brown, plus seven goals from Jackson, completely revitalises the Royals’ attack.


1967 WANFL season, Finals, Grand Final
In the unfamiliar full-forward role after six weeks off the field due to suspension, Mal Atwell score 6.1 (37), whilst his keeping Jenzen and Cable together on the ball prove decisive in 80 °F (26.7 °C) heat.


1967 WANFL season, Notes
In Round 14 of the 1942 under-age competition, Claremont were also scoreless in the second and third quarters against East Perth.


1967 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament
The 1967 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 8th conference playoff in league history. The tournament was played between March 7 and March 11, 1967. All games were played at home team campus sites. By being declared as co-champions, both Michigan State and North Dakota were invited to participate in the 1967 NCAA University Division Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.

All eight teams in the WCHA were eligible for the tournament. In the first round the schools were matched up based upon regional location, having the schools closest to one another play a single game with the winners advancing to the second round. The two Colorado schools (Colorado College and Denver) met in one match, leaving North Dakota to play their closest geographic rival Minnesota. With the Gophers occupied Minnesota-Duluth's next closest opponent was Michigan Tech, leaving Michigan and Michigan State as the pair in the final First Round game.


1967 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament, Format
Because each of these teams had met under the same circumstances the previous year the home venue that wasn't used the first time was utilized for this tournament, resulting in two higher-seeded teams playing on the road. After the first round the two easternmost remaining teams met in the home venues of Michigan Tech (Dee Stadium) while the two westernmost schools met at Denver's home building (DU Arena). In the second round the first and fourth seeds and the second and third seeds were matched with the winners being declared as co-conference tournament champions.

Ten players for the United States and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event. Great Britain & Ireland had a playing captain, while the United States had a non-playing captain.


1967 Walthamstow West by-election
The Walthamstow West by-election of 21 September 1967 was held after the death of Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Ted Redhead on 15 April of that year. The seat was gained by the Conservative Party by just 62 votes.


1967 Walthamstow West by-election, Results
The election was held on the same day as the Cambridge by-election, where the Conservatives also gained a seat held by Labour, however at Cambridge the swing between the two parties was 8.6% compared with the 18.4% swing to the Conservatives at Walthamstow West. The Walthamstow West result was also significant as Labour had held the seat since 1929, and it had formerly been the seat of Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee. An editorial in The Glasgow Herald the day after the result said that while the Cambridge result was "always expected" the Conservative victory in Walthamstow  "almost defies belief" given that the Labour Party had held the seat during its crushing national defeat in 1931.

1967 Wayne State Tartars football team
The team began the season with seven consecutive victories. In the sixth victory against Eastern Michigan, a capacity crowd was drawn to Tartar Field, leading Detroit Free Press columnist Joe Falls to write: "They were standing on rooftops, fence tops, car tops and tree tops – anything that would hold them. They jammed into those rickety old porches along Hobart Street and they climbed telephone poles and held on for dear life. . . . This was backyard football at its best – maybe the finest moment in the history of Wayne State University."


1967 Wayne State Tartars football team

1967 West Berlin state election
Brandt's successor in Berlin was Heinrich Albertz, who assumed the role of mayor on December 14, 1966, he was selected as the top candidate for the SPD in this election.


1967 West Berlin state election
Albertz had to manage a difficult legacy, Brandt was overwhelmingly popular in Berlin upon his leaving to become Vice-Chancellor and had become somewhat of an icon among the populace, according to surveys, about 90% of Berlin were happy. Albertz managed nevertheless to make our own contributions in the relatively short time between Brandt resignation and the election, Albertz had worked closely with Brandt since 1963 as his second-in-command within the SPD which benefited him as he had been able to familiarize himself with some of his responsibilities.


1967 West Berlin state election
Despite losing five percentage points the SPD still recorded an impressive 56.9% of the vote and another absolute majority. The opposition  CDU, who for the third time in a row had selected Franz Amrehn as their top candidate, recorded a vote increase of 4.1 percentage points to win 32.9% of votes.

1967 West Derbyshire by-election
The West Derbyshire by-election for the British House of Commons took place on 23 November 1967. It was caused by the resignation of Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Aidan Crawley to become Chairman of London Weekend Television where he remained until 1973. The seat was retained for the Conservatives by James Scott-Hopkins with a majority of 10,623 over the Liberal candidate Aza Pinney (5,696 votes). Labour's Robin Corbett came third with 5,284 and an Independent, Robert Goodall (who had contested the seat twice before in 1944 and 1945), was fourth with 1,496 votes - losing his deposit.


1967 West Derbyshire by-election
The election was a low-key affair because there had been an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the area and restrictions had been placed on vehicle movement, with the effect of keeping the usual loud-speaker vans and cars offering lifts to the polls off the roads. Also, many farmers and their families and workers were expected to stay in their farms on polling day and it was not possible for the parties to bring in much help from outside the constituency. Turnout was actually 64.6% as compared to 83.4% at the previous general election (1966).


1967 West Derbyshire by-election
The result was a blow to the Labour government with the Tories doubling the size of their majority and achieving a swing of 13% against Labour. The Liberals also took heart from the result as they were able to leapfrog Labour into second place improving their share of the poll from 13.2% at the previous general election to 19.8%. Their candidate, Aza Pinney, claimed that fog on election night had prevented some of the support they were expecting to come out to vote. Mr Pinney, a Dorsetshire farmer, was later selected as Liberal candidate for West Devon and was appointed organiser of the Liberals' campaign for the European referendum. The main points of his campaign were industrial democracy, membership of the Common Market and reducing overseas defence costs.

1967 Western Samoan general election, Campaign

1967 Wilkes 400
The 1967 Wilkes 400 was a NASCAR Grand National Series event that was held on October 1, 1967, at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro.


1967 Wilkes 400
The transition to purpose-built racecars began in the early 1960s and occurred gradually over that decade. Changes made to the sport by the late 1960s brought an end to the "strictly stock" vehicles of the 1950s.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Through the 1960s and 1970s the NASCAR Grand National Series began focusing on bigger, faster, and longer tracks. Like other short tracks in NASCAR at the time, crowd capacity and purses were small compared to the larger tracks. Over time, Enoch Staley and Jack Combs attempted to keep the facility modern and on pace with the growth of the sport. The West Grandstand was rebuilt with chair-type seats rather than the old bare concrete slabs. New larger restroom facilities were built, and the South Grandstand was expanded.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
A garage facility was also built within the track, which at the time was rare for short-track venues. But the main focus was on keeping ticket prices affordable. Food and beverage prices were kept low, and event parking and camping were always free. As long as profits covered maintenance costs, Staley was satisfied with the income of the track.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
In the Gwyn Staley 160 of 1960, Junior Johnson beat 21 other drivers for the pole position with a lap speed of 83.860 mph. Glen Wood overtook Johnson to lead the first lap, but Johnson had the race under control and led the next 145 laps. Lee Petty moved up from the eighth starting position to challenge Johnson late in the race. With 14 laps remaining, Johnson and Petty made contact. Johnson's car was sent spinning into the guardrail. Petty lead the final 14 laps to win his third straight race at North Wilkesboro.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
The crowd of 9,200 pelted Petty with bottles, rocks, and debris after his win; he had done their local hero wrong. When Petty took the microphone in Victory Lane to explain his side of the story, the crowd began jeering. Rex White finished second, and Wood placed third. Ned Jarrett finished fourth under the alias John Lentz.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
The length of the fall race in 1960 was increased from its usual 160 laps / 100 miles to 320 laps / 200 miles, this it became known as the Wilkes 320. Speeds increased immensely from the previous record, 1.83 seconds quicker than any previous qualifying lap (86.806 to 93.399 mph). Rex White posted the fastest qualifying lap and dethroned Lee Petty from his three-race winning streak at North Wilkesboro. Junior Johnson finished about half a lap behind White in second place.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
In the 1961 running of the Gwyn Staley 400, Junior Johnson recorded another pole, this time by 0.57 seconds better than the previous track record, with his qualifying time of 23.52 (95.660 mph). Johnson led all of the 62 laps he ran before transmission problems forced him out of the race. Fred Lorenzen led the next 61 laps until engine problems took him out of the running. And Curtis Turner led 56 laps before experiencing problems as well. 1960 Grand National Champion Rex White, who started on the outside pole, led the remaining 221 laps and won the race.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Tommy Irwin started the race in sixth position and finished the Gwyn Staley 400 two laps behind White. Richard Petty followed in third place. Fireball Roberts, in a Pontiac owned by Smokey Yunick, finished fourth (ten laps down), and Johnny Allen, who crashed out of the race on his 387th lap, still finished in fifth place. Only 12 of the 25 cars that entered the race were running at the finish of the first 400-lap edition of the Gwyn Staley race.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
In the 1963 Wilkes 400, Fred Lorenzen captured his third straight pole at the track by breaking his own record with a lap time of 23.30 seconds / 96.566 mph. Richard Petty entered the race in an attempt to become the first driver to win four consecutive races at North Wilkesboro. But he experienced engine problems and lasted only 45 laps into the race. Lorenzen led 58 laps, but came up short of victory, six seconds behind winner Marvin Panch.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Panch did not start the 1963 season until halfway through because he had nearly lost his life in a crash while testing a Maserati at Daytona that February. Panch, in a Wood Brothers car, started third and led 131 laps in the race. Holman-Moody took the next three spots in the final rundown, with Lorenzen second, Nelson Stacy third, and Fireball Roberts fourth. Stacy started fourth and led 56 laps, while Roberts started from the outside pole and led the most laps with 155.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
The track was repaved just prior to the Gwyn Staley 400 in 1964, and the resulting lack of traction wreaked havoc. Fireball Roberts, Buck Baker, Buddy Arrington, and G.C. Spencer all crashed through the wooden guardrail in the first and second turns in Saturday's practice and qualifying. Roberts was unable to start the race because his Ford had been so heavily damaged. Fred Lorenzen won the pole and led 368 laps on the way to the win.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Junior Johnson was the pole sitter for the 1965 Gwyn Staley 400, with a qualifying time and speed of 22.27 seconds / 101.033 mph, breaking his own record by 0.06 seconds. Marvin Panch was leading the race when a blown tire caused him to crash with 11 laps remaining. Johnson assumed the lead from there and won his third of 13 wins in 1965. Johnson lead during most of the race, 356 laps in total. Bobby Johns in a Holman-Moody Ford finished in the runner-up position, seven seconds behind Johnson. Finishing third, one lap down, was Ned Jarrett. Jarrett had led 20 laps early in the race. Dick Hutcherson, in his Holman-Moody Ford, finished seven laps off the pace in fourth place, and Panch finished fifth. Panch led on three occasions during the race for a total of 24 laps.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
In the Wilkes 400 of 1965, Fred Lorenzen won the pole and led the first 190 laps before engine problems forced him out of the race on Lap 219. Junior Johnson took the lead from the fading Lorenzen to pick up his 50th and final Grand National Series victory by two laps over Cale Yarborough. Only 16 of the 35 cars that entered the race were running at the finish.


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Jim Paschal started the 1966 Gwyn Staley 400 from the pole position with a record lap time and speed of 21.91 sec / 102.693 mph. Paschal led 308 laps and won by six laps over G.C. Spencer, the largest margin of victory at North Wilkesboro in a Grand National Series race. David Pearson started on the outside pole, and despite losing an engine with 18 laps to go he finished third. Wendell Scott finished fourth (22 laps down), and Clarence Henly Gray finished fifth (25 laps down). Only 14 of the 37 cars entered in the race were running at the finish. Richard Petty was the only driver besides Paschal to lead any laps in the race. He led 92 laps before falling back to finish 11th (53 laps down).


1967 Wilkes 400, Background
Darel Dieringer completely dominated the 1967 Gwyn Staley 400, driving for Junior Johnson. Dieringer got the pole with a lap of 21.50 seconds / 104.693 mph and lead all 400 laps. He was the first driver to run a Grand National Series race of over 250 miles while leading from start to finish. He lapped the whole field twice at one point. Dieringer took the checked flag after he ran out of gas in Turn Four of the last lap and coasted to the finish line. This was Dieringer's last Grand National victory. Cale Yarborough, driving the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford, finished second, one lap behind Dieringer. A 20-lap qualifying race to make the field was won by Clyde Lynn.


1967 Wilkes 400, Race report
This event was the site of Richard Petty's 75th victory in his NASCAR Cup Series career; making him acquire a 10-race win streak. His racing team was Petty Enterprises (now a part of Richard Petty Motorsports) and the vehicle that Petty took to the finish line with him was a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere with the #43 as its racing number. In today's NASCAR Cup Series, people who regularly watch the races would be upset if the same driver won so many races in one season and complained about cheating.


1967 Wilkes 400, Race report
Two hours, thirty-eight minutes, and ten seconds were needed for the race to reach its full conclusion. Richard Petty managed to defeat Dick Hutcherson by more than two laps; making it the third consecutive race where Hutcherson finished second to Petty in addition to being the fourth time in five events.
