1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
On the Trojans' first play from scrimmage, Simpson quickly showed he was worthy of Heisman consideration, rushing for 40 yards around left end. However, the Trojans were forced to settle for a 36-yard field goal attempt, which sailed wide right. The Trojans did not get any closer to the Beaver end zone for the rest of the game. By the end of the first quarter, Simpson had already rushed for 87 yards. Early in the second quarter, the Juice finally broke loose. He shook off a tackler at the Trojan 37 and steamed upfield with four blockers to lead him.

He only had one man to beat, Mark Waletich. Simpson slowed down in an attempt to allow his blockers to make a play on Waletich. Waletich stayed in front of Simpson long enough and out of nowhere, Jess Lewis closed on Simpson, eventually dragging O.J. down from behind at the Beaver 32. USC would get eight yards on the next three plays. Rather than attempt a 41-yard field goal, the Trojans went for it, but Ron Boley tackled the Trojans' quarterback, Steve Sogge, for no gain.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
Later in the second quarter, Oregon State's Skip Vanderbundt came up with a Southern California fumble at the Trojan 47. Over the next eight plays, the Beavers rushed for 34 yards all on running plays by Bill Enyart, Steve Preece, and Billy Main. On fourth-and-three at the Trojan 13, Mike Haggard's 30 yarder split the uprights for a 3–0 lead. After holding USC to a three-and-out, Oregon State's Bob Mayes ran 25-yards on a reverse. However, Haggard's second attempt from 28 yards sailed wide right, and the half ended with a 3–0 Oregon State lead.

In the third quarter, Enyart took off from the Beaver 24, and was not caught until he reached the Trojans' 19. When he was tackled, Enyart fumbled. The fumble was recovered by USC's team captain, Adrian Young. As the game wore on, both defenses only seemed to get stronger. Early in the fourth quarter, USC faced a third-and-two at its own 23. Ron Boley dropped Steve Sogge for a loss. Later in the quarter, the Trojans had their best scoring opportunity of the second half, when they faced third-and-one at Oregon State's 42.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
Boley again tackled Sogge in the backfield for a two-yard loss. Oregon State's returner, Charlie Olds, received the ensuing punt at the Beaver nine and raced downfield. He was hit at the Trojan 35-yard line and fumbled. The ball bounced near Olds but not near enough to recover the fumble. Instead, Olds knocked the ball out of bounds. The referees called a penalty for illegal batting, which was a personal foul, penalized by an automatic change of possession. USC was unable to generate a first down on the drive.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
In the last 44 minutes of the game, the Trojans managed just three first downs and only crossed midfield twice. Perhaps the best boost for the defense was the punting of Gary Houser. USC did not start a drive beyond their own 35 after a Houser punt all game long. With three minutes left, Skip Vanderbundt forced a Simpson fumble. It proved to be Simpson's final carry. He ended with 188 yards rushing but, more importantly, no touchdowns. Fittingly, Jess Lewis came up with the fumble at the Trojan 35.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
Oregon State's offense was so enthused that they managed their only first downs of the second half, which enabled the Beavers to run out the clock. The Beavers faced fourth-and-one at the Trojan 38 with 34 seconds left. Enyart ran for one yard and a first down. Preece took a knee to end the game.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
The Los Angeles Examiner wrote of Oregon State "Giant-killers? Heck, today they're the giants." That night, Andros received congratulatory calls from Governor McCall, Senator Mark Hatfield, and Oklahoma's former head coach (and Andros' old coach), Bud Wilkinson. Oregon Journal sports editor George Pasero reported that Trojan Athletic Director Jess Hill told the Los Angeles papers that an AAWU rule would be passed to require teams to use tarpaulins in the week prior to a game. Governor Reagan issued a statement that he would help to purchase the tarp and that he would have his $1 donation in the mail shortly. Upon hearing the quotes from Hill and Reagan, Andros told the Journal that he would consider using a tarpaulin, if the Los Angeles schools purchased "a couple of big fans and blow the smog out of the Coliseum." No AAWU rule was ever passed about the use of tarpaulins.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
Enyart finished with 135 yards. Simpson had 188 yards, 81 yards on two carries. The other Trojans were held to 18 yards combined. The 3–0 loss was the last time the Trojans would be shut out until they went on probation in 1983. USC would not lose another regular season game until 1970; for the rest of the 1960s decade, their only blemishes would be ties against arch-rival Notre Dame in 1968 and 1969, and a loss to national champion Ohio State in the 1969 Rose Bowl.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
The 1967 Oregon State team remains the only college football team to go undefeated against three top two teams in the same season. It is unclear whether Tom McCall ever received the box of oranges Ronald Reagan had promised to hand-pick. UCLA's 48–0 win over Washington the same day eliminated Oregon State from the Rose Bowl race. Conference rules did not permit more than one team to go to a bowl game at the time, so the Civil War would be Oregon State's last game of the year.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Southern California
On November 18, #1 UCLA and #2 USC battled for the Victory Bell in the Coliseum. UCLA was 7–0–1 and USC was 8–1. It has been dubbed the "Game of the Century" and the "signature game" in the rivalry. The 21–20 win on Simpson's 64-yard fourth quarter scamper helped propel the Trojans to a national championship. The Beavers' 1967 win over USC would be their last over the Trojans until 2000.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Oregon
The final opponent on #8 Oregon State's schedule was 2–7 Oregon. The Webfoots were not another giant, but they were improving. Their two victories had both come in the previous four weeks. Oregon's strength was their defense behind defensive coordinator John Robinson, All-Conference nose guard George Dames, and All-Conference defensive back Jim Smith. This was the first Civil War game at Autzen Stadium, which opened two months earlier with natural grass. The attendance was 40,100, a Civil War record at the time.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Oregon
Gary Houser's first punt was partially blocked and recovered by the Webfoots at the Beaver 31. On their first play from scrimmage, Oregon's Eric Olson threw a 20-yard pass. The Webfoots would only gain one yard on three plays and had to settle for a 27-yard field goal. Before halftime, Oregon State's Bill Enyart fumbled twice inside Oregon's 10-yard line. Charlie Olds ended the Webfoots' best drive of the second quarter by picking off an Eric Olsen pass in the Beaver red zone.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Oregon
Oregon State's first drive of the second half ended on a Beaver fumble at Oregon's 43. The Webfoots capitalized, quickly finding themselves with first-and-goal at the Beaver three. Oregon State's defense did not fold, stopping Oregon a foot short of the end zone on third-and-goal. However, the Webfoots dove in on their fourth attempt, increasing their lead to 10–0 with five minutes left in the third quarter. Oregon State was in dire straits after fumbling again at their own 45-yard line. Oregon drove 15 yards but missed a 47-yard field goal.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Oregon
Early in the fourth quarter, Oregon State finally hit their stride. Starting at their own 20, the running game began finding holes over and through the Duck defense. On one third-and-eight, Steve Preece found Don Summers for a 35-yard gain. On the next play, Roger Cantlon slipped and fell down but still managed to haul in a pass at Oregon's one-yard line. From there, Enyart plowed over the Duck defenders and into the end zone, cutting Oregon's lead to 10–7 with nine minutes left. Oregon State's defense responded by forcing Oregon to go three-and-out.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Oregon
The punt only carried to the Beavers’ 45. Nine plays later, Oregon State had the ball first-and-goal on the four-yard line. The Webfoots loaded up the middle to try to stop Enyart; however, Steve Preece threw them a curve, running around left end for a touchdown with two-and-a-half minutes left to take the lead, 14–10. After getting the ball back, Oregon's final four plays only netted seven yards, turning the ball over to Oregon State. The Webfoots did not get the ball back.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, Game summaries, Final standing
The Civil War victory propelled the Beavers to #7 in the final AP Poll, which was their best ever final ranking. It would take another 33 years for Oregon State to be ranked any higher. Oregon State's 7–2–1 record was its best between 1962 and 2000. It is all the more impressive because the Beavers were only favored to win three of the ten games they played.


1967 Oregon State Beavers football team, NFL/AFL Draft
Three Beavers were selected in the 1968 NFL/AFL Draft, the second common draft, which lasted seventeen rounds (462 selections).

All five home games were played on campus in Eugene at the new Autzen Stadium, opened this season with a natural grass field (and replaced with AstroTurf two years later).


1967 Oregon Webfoots football team
Under first-year head coach Jerry Frei, the Ducks were 2–8 overall and 1–5 in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU, later renamed Pacific-8), in a tie for seventh place, and were outscored 193 to 104. The Ducks met USC for the first time since 1958, the final Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) season. (UCLA was similarly off of UO's schedule until 1969).


1967 Oregon Webfoots football team
Oregon's two victories came against the Palouse neighbors, Idaho andWashington State. After opening with five losses, shutouts in the last three, the 31–6 win over the Vandals on October 21 was the first for Frei and the first for Oregon in Autzen Stadium. The Ducks traveled to Pullman two weeks later and defeated the Cougars 17–13 for their sole conference win. In between, they lost 28–6 to top-ranked USC in Los Angeles, but held junior running back O. J. Simpson to just 63 yards on 23 carries. He was similarly contained the following season in Eugene.


1967 Oregon Webfoots football team
In the season-ending Civil War game at Autzen, the visiting #8 Oregon State "Giant Killers" were held scoreless for three quarters, but reached the end zone twice in the fourth period to win 14–10, their fourth straight in the rivalry.

1967 PGA Championship
The 1967 PGA Championship was the 49th PGA Championship, played July 20–24 at Columbine Country Club in Columbine Valley, Colorado, a suburb south of Denver. Don January won his only major title in an 18-hole playoff over Don Massengale (69-71). Both had overtaken the leaders with low scores in the fourth round on Sunday.


1967 PGA Championship
Columbine was scheduled to host the championship in 1966, but flooding of the course by the South Platte River caused a postponement of a year. Firestone Country Club in Ohio, scheduled to host in 1967, swapped years with Columbine and was the site of the tournament in 1966.


1967 PGA Championship
There was a possibility of a boycott of the championship by the top tournament players, due to grievances with the PGA of America. An understanding was achieved several weeks before and the top players entered.


1967 PGA Championship
At the time, Columbine was the longest course in major championship history at 7,436 yards (6,799 m). The elevation of the course is over 5,300 feet (1,620 m) above sea level, additionally dry and fast conditions shortened its effective length. Tommy Aaron carded a course record 65 in the second round to take a four-stroke lead, but a 76 on Saturday dropped him two back and he fell out of contention on Sunday with a 78. The 54-hole leader was Dan Sikes, the chairman of the tournament players committee, who shot a final round 73 and finished a stroke out of the playoff, in a tie for third with Jack Nicklaus.


1967 PGA Championship
This was the second and final 18-hole Monday playoff at the PGA Championship, formerly a match play event through 1957. The next playoff was ten years later in 1977 and the format was changed to sudden-death, immediately following the fourth round. It was later changed to a three-hole aggregate format, first used in 2000.


1967 PGA Championship
The Open Championship was played the previous week near Liverpool, England, one of five times in the 1960s that these two majors were played in consecutive weeks in July. The PGA Championship moved permanently to August in 1969, where it remained through 2018 (except 1971, when it was played in late February). In 2019, the tournament moved to the weekend before Memorial Day.


1967 PGA Tour
The 1967 PGA Tour season was played from January 12 to December 3, and consisted of 40 official money events. Jack Nicklaus won the most tournaments, five, and there were five first-time winners. Nicklaus was the leading money winner with earnings of $188,998. Nicklaus was voted the PGA Player of the Year and Arnold Palmer won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average.

1967 Pacific hurricane season
The 1967 Pacific hurricane season started on June 1 and ended on November 30, 1967. The season was of little note except for Hurricanes Katrina and Olivia. Katrina made landfall on the Baja Peninsula, killing at least 60 and made 2,500 homeless. Olivia made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja Peninsula as a major hurricane—only one of two storms ever to do so. Hurricane/Typhoon Sarah formed in the Central Pacific and reached category 1 strength before crossing over to the Western Pacific.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Depression One
On May 18, the first tropical depression of the season formed. It remained weak and dissipated the next day far out at sea.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Agatha
The first tropical storm of the season formed on June 7 at peak intensity far off from any landmass. It remained at peak intensity until it was stopped being tracked on the 10th.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Bridget
On June 16, a tropical storm was identified south of Mexico with winds of 45 mph (70 kilometres (43 mi) /h). It weakened as it approached the Mexican mainland and dissipated later that day.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Carlotta
The first hurricane of the season, Hurricane Carlotta formed on June 23 near the Mexican coast. The storm gradually strengthened and became the next day. The storm stayed as a hurricane until June 25. It rapidly weakened and was stopped being tracked on June 26 south of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Denise
On July 6, a tropical depression formed south of Mexico. The depression had its origin in a loosely organized area of squalls which had first appeared on satellite photos late on July 5. It strengthened to a tropical storm on the 9th and was named Denise. On July 15, Denise, now in the Central Pacific weakened into a tropical depression. The depression dissipated south-west of Hawaii on July 18, never threatening land.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Eleanor
A few days after Denise formed, a new tropical depression formed south-west of the Baja Peninsula. It strengthened into a tropical storm late that night and was named Eleanor. It weakened into a tropical depression three days later, on July 16. The depression continued a long journey north-westward until July 22, when it dissipated. Eleanor never threatened land.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Francene
On July 24, the sixth tropical storm of the season was identified relatively close to the Mexican coast. The storm continued a north-westward direction until it dissipated south of the Baja Peninsula.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Georgette

1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Depression Hilary
On August 10, another tropical depression formed south of the Baja California Peninsula. It moved North-westward until it dissipated the next day.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Depression Hilary
Hilary reportedly attained Tropical Storm strength, however the system's best track by the NHC does support the strength, and in post-storm analysis, Hilary was downgraded into a depression.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Ilsa
On August 12, the eighth named storm of the year formed and was named Ilsa. It strengthened to a peak intensity of 70 miles (110 km) per hour on the 14th. The storm held peak intensity for only 6 hours and weakened to have winds of 50 miles (80 km) per hour. The storm weakened rapidly on the night of the 17th and dissipated the next morning never having affected land.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Jewel
On the day Ilsa dissipated, a new tropical storm was found and named Jewel. It rapidly strengthened that night and reached its peak intensity the next morning. It held peak intensity for 24 hours and weakened the next morning to a moderate tropical storm. It dissipatedon the 22nd.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Katrina
The first storm to make landfall, Katrina formed on August 30. It became the third hurricane of the season 30 hours after it was named. The night that Katrina became a hurricane, it made landfall on the Baja Peninsula with winds of 85 miles (137 km) per hour. It emerged soon after and paralleled the peninsula until making landfall at the head of the Bay of California. It rapidly weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated over Arizona. In Mexico, Katrina caused significant damage to parts of San Felipe. A total of 2500 people were left homeless and 60 ships were sunk. At least one person was killed.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Lily
On September 5, a tropical storm formed and was named Lily. Lily became the season's fourth hurricane on the night of September 6. It slightly weakened to have winds of 75 miles (121 km) per hour and stayed this way for 30 hours. It weakened to a tropical storm and dissipated as a tropical cyclone on the 11th, though its surface circulation continued drifting westward near the 30th parallel north and remained identifiable on weather satellite images through the 20th.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Sarah
The only storm to form in the Central Pacific this year, Sarah was found southeast of Hawaii on September 9 with winds of 70 miles (110 km) per hour. It weakened slightly to have winds of 65 miles (105 km) per hour. On September 11, Sarah became a hurricane for twelve hours, before weakening to a tropical storm. Sarah then regained hurricane status crossed into the Western Pacific. After it crossed, it rapidly strengthened to have winds of 150 miles (240 km) per hour. The only measured pressure reading from Sarah was found in the Western Pacific, 932 hectopascals (27.5 inHg). It steadily weakened and became extratropical with winds of 80 miles (130 km) per hour on the 22nd.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Monica
On September 13, a tropical storm formed south of the Baja Peninsula and was named Monica. It weakened to a tropical depression the next morning and stayed that way until September 19. It became a tropical storm again but never regained peak intensity. It dissipated on September 20.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Nanette
On September 13, another tropical depression formed directly south of Mexico. Twelve hours later, it became the fourteenth tropical storm of the season, Nanette. It stayed at peak intensity of 50 miles (80 km) per hour until September 21 when it dissipated.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Olivia
The only major hurricane of the season, Olivia formed on October 6 as a tropical depression. It slowly strengthened and became a tropical storm 3 days later. As a tropical storm, Olivia again took a long time to become a hurricane. It headed north-northeast and hit Baja California with 50 mph winds. On the 13th, Olivia finally became a hurricane, while in the Gulf of California.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Olivia
It rapidly strengthened due to its very small size, and reached winds of 125 miles (201 km) per hour for six hours and made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja California Peninsula at that strength. Olivia rapidly weakened even faster than it strengthened and dissipated 18 hours after landfall.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Olivia
Olivia is only one of two major hurricanes to make landfall on eastern side of the Baja California Peninsula the other being Hurricane Kiko of 1989. It was also the first major hurricane to be named in the East Pacific. No damage figures exist from Olivia, due to the scarce population of the area it struck. However, a total of 61 lives were lost.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Priscilla
The final hurricane of the season formed on October 14 south of central Mexico as a tropical storm. It became a hurricane two days later. Priscilla stayed a hurricane for 48 hours until it weakened into a tropical storm on the 18th as it curved westward. It dissipated October 20.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Ramona
On October 21, the final tropical storm of the season formed. It became a tropical storm the next morning and was named Ramona. Ramona stayed as a tropical storm until October 25 when it weakened to a tropical depression. The depression again strengthened to a tropical storm on the 29th as the storm started to recurve. The system dissipated while heading due north on November 3.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Other systems
In the Central Pacific, the local hurricane center noted four systems that were likely tropical depressions but not operationally monitored.


1967 Pacific hurricane season, Storm names
This was the first use of the following names. The names were used again in 1971.


1967 Pacific typhoon season
The 1967 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1967, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.


1967 Pacific typhoon season
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1967 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems
During the 1967 Pacific typhoon season, 40 tropical depressions formed, of which 35 became tropical storms. Twenty tropical storms attained typhoon intensity, and five of the typhoons reached super typhoon intensity.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Violet (Karing)
Typhoon Violet, which formed on April 1, steadily weakened from its peak of 140 mph to directly impact northeastern Luzon as a 115 mph typhoon on the 8th. It dissipated in the South China Sea on April 12 without causing any significant damage.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Billie (Herming)
Typhoon Billie, having developed on July 2, reached its peak of 85 mph on July 5. Billie's intensity fluctuated as it headed northward to Japan, and it became extratropical on the 8th; however, Billie's extratropical remnant continued northeastward, and it brought heavy rain to Honshū and Kyūshū, killing 347 people.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Clara (Ising)
A cold core low developed tropical characteristics and became Tropical Depression 8W on July 6. It tracked westward, becoming a tropical storm later that day and a typhoon on July 7. After briefly weakening to a tropical storm, Clara re-attained typhoon status, and it peaked in intensity on July 10, reaching winds of 115 mph. Clara weakened to a 90 mph typhoon just before hitting Taiwan on the 11th, and it dissipated over China the next day. Clara's heavy rains caused 69 fatalities and a further 32 people to be reported as missing.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Super Typhoon Opal
Super Typhoon Opal was a powerful system that peaked in winds of 180 miles per hour (mph), the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Super Typhoon Sarah
On September 14, Tropical Storm Sarah, which formed across the International Date Line, entered the Western Pacific. Immediately after the first advisory following Sarah's entrance into the West Pacific, it was upgraded to a minimal typhoon. Typhoon Sarah continued to intensify, and late on September 15, it was upgraded to a Category 4 typhoon. The next day, Sarah reached its peak intensity, attaining 150 mph winds and a 932 millibar (mbar) pressure reading (this was the only pressure measurement retrieved from the typhoon), making the system a super typhoon. Sarah began gradually weakening afterwards, and late on September 21, it became extratropical; it was still an 80 mph Category 1 typhoon at the time.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Super Typhoon Sarah
On September 16, Sarah made landfall on Wake Island at peak intensity, causing widespread damage. This typhoon was the third tropical cyclone since the beginning of observations in 1935 to bring typhoon-force winds to Wake Island, following an unnamed typhoon which struck on October 19, 1940 (Tomita, 1968), which brought 120 knot winds to the island, and Typhoon Olive in 1952, which lashed the island with 150 knot winds. Coincidentally, Olive's attack on the island occurred on September 16, exactly 15 years prior to Sarah's direct hit.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Super Typhoon Carla (Trining)
Carla became an intense typhoon while located in the Philippine Sea on October 15. During its weakening stage, the typhoon dumped extreme rainfall around its circulation. Baguio, Philippines recorded 47.86 inches (1,216 mm) of rainfall in a 24‑hour period between October 17 and October 18; however, Carla's precipitation was significantly more extreme in Taiwan, where 108.21 inches (2,749 mm) fell in a 48‑hour period between October 17 and October 19. The worst typhoon to hit the country during the year, it killed 250 people and leaving 30 others missing


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Dinah (Uring)
Typhoon Dinah struck the southern island of Kyūshū in Japan, killing thirty-seven people and resulting in ten others being reported as missing.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Super Typhoon Emma (Welming)
Typhoon Emma was the second super Typhoon to hit the Philippines just 2 weeks after Typhoon Carla. Typhoon Emma left 300 people dead and 60 others missing.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Philippines
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1973 season.


1967 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Philippines
This is the same list used for the 1963 season. The names Uring, Welming, Yayang, Ading and Barang used the first time (and only, in the case of Welming).

1967 Palestinian exodus
The 1967 Palestinian exodus refers to the flight of around 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians out of the territories captured by Israel during and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, including the demolition of the Palestinian villages of Imwas, Yalo, and Bayt Nuba, Surit, Beit Awwa, Beit Mirsem, Shuyukh, Al-Jiftlik, Agarith and Huseirat and the "emptying" of the refugee camps of Aqabat Jaber and ʿEin as-Sultan. Approximately 145,000 of the 1967 Palestinian refugees were refugees from the 1948 Palestine War. By December 1967, 245,000 had fled from the West Bank and Gaza Strip further into Jordan, 11,000 had fled from the Gaza Strip further into Egypt and 116,000 Palestinians and Syrians had fled from the Golan Heights further into Syria.


1967 Palestinian exodus
A United Nations Special Committee heard allegations of the destruction of over 400 Arab villages, but no evidence in corroboration was furnished to the Special Committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the population of the occupied territories.


1967 Palestinian exodus
Until 1967, roughly half of all Palestinians still lived within the boundaries of former Mandatory Palestine, but the majority lived outside the territory from 1967.


1967 Palestinian exodus
A 1971 United Nations report stated that: "On the basis of the testimony placed before it or obtained by it in the course of its investigations, the Special Committee had been led to conclude that the Government of Israel is deliberately carrying out policies aimed at preventing the population of the occupied territories from returning to their homes and forcing those who are in their homes in the occupied territories to leave, either by direct means such as deportation or indirectly by attempts at undermining their morale or through the offer of special inducements, all with the ultimate object of annexing and settling the occupied territories. The Special Committee considers the acts of the Government of Israel in furtherance of these policies to be the most serious violation of human rights that has come to its attention. The evidence shows that this situation has deteriorated since the last mission of the Special Committee in 1970."


1967 Palestinian exodus
After the psychological warfare unit made a visit to Qalqilya and many of the residents had fled, the UN representative Nils-Göran Gussing noted that 850 of the town's 2,000 houses were demolished.

The 1967 Pan American Games, officially known as the V Pan American Games, were a continental multi-sport event held in Winnipeg, Canada, from July 22 to August 7, 1967. At the Games, 2,361 athletes selected from 29 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in events in 19 sports. Twenty-one nations earned medals during the competition, and eleven won at least one gold medal.

The ranking in this table is based on medal counts published by several media organizations. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals won by the athletes representing a nation. (In this context, a nation is an entity represented by a NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.


1967 Paraguayan Constitutional Assembly election
Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Paraguay on 7 May 1967. The Colorado Party won 80 of the 120 seats. Voter turnout was 68.9%. Following the election, the country's fifth constitution was promulgated in August.


1967 Paraguayan Constitutional Assembly election, Constitutional amendments
The new constitution drafted by the Assembly replaced the constitution of 1940. It limited the president to two five-year terms, but a transitory article stated that only those terms completed after the 1968 election would count toward the two-term limit. This had the effect of allowing President Alfredo Stroessner, in office since 1954, to run for two more terms in office. The new document also returned the governing system to a bicameral legislature, including an elected Senate. It provided for the addition of a Supreme Court and reduced the voting age to eighteen.


1967 Paraguayan Constitutional Assembly election, Constitutional amendments
Executive authority remained intact, restricting the legislature from autonomous action and making the judiciary dependent upon presidential appointment. At the same time, safeguards to human rights were introduced, granting habeas corpus, individual freedom, freedom of association and movement, and protections from mistreatment or torture. It also allowed for political opposition to re-emerge, which prompted several former political leaders to return from exile.


1967 Paraguayan Constitutional Assembly election, Constitutional amendments
The new constitution retained the overall authoritarian character of its predecessor. The president retained the power to declare a state of siege, which allowed them to suspend constitutional freedoms for up to 90 days in all or part of the country. Within five days of declaring the state of siege, the president was required to notify Congress of the reasons for doing so, the rights being suspended, and the portion of the country where it applied. Stroessner had declared a state of siege soon after taking office, and had it renewed every 90 days until 1987.


1967 Paraguayan Constitutional Assembly election, Constitutional amendments
While the state of siege technically only applied to Asunción after 1970, the courts ruled that anyone charged with security offenses could be brought to the capital and charged under the state-of-siege provisions, even if the offense took place outside the capital. Having already ruled under what amounted to martial law for most of his first thirteen years in office, Stroessner continued doing so even after the new constitution was promulgated, effectively nullifying constitutional guarantees of civil rights.


1967 Paris–Nice
The 1967 Paris–Nice was the 25th running of the Paris–Nice cycling stage race, often known as the Race to the Sun. It started on 8 March in Athis-Mons, south of Paris, and ended on 15 March in Nice and consisted of eight stages, including an individual time trial. A total of 96 riders from twelve teams entered the race, which was won by Briton Tom Simpson of the Peugeot-BP-Michelin team.


1967 Paris–Nice
Simpson became the first British rider to win the Paris–Nice general classification. In the other race classifications, Bernard Guyot of Pelforth-Wild-Lejeune won the mountains classification, Jean-Claude Wuillemin of Pelforth-Wild-Lejeune took the points classification green jersey. Pelforth-Wild-Lejeune finished as the winners of the team classification, which ranks each of the twelve teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time.


1967 Paris–Nice, Teams
Twelve teams were invited to participate in the 1967 edition of the Paris–Nice. One of the teams, Beer 33-Gitane, was amateur. Each team sent a squad of eight riders, which meant that the race started with a peloton of 96 cyclists. From the riders that began the race, 83 made it to the finish in Nice.


1967 Paris–Roubaix
The 1967 Paris–Roubaix was the 65th edition of the Paris–Roubaix cycle race and was held on 9 April 1967. The race started in Compiègne and finished in Roubaix. The race was won by Jan Janssen of the Pelforth team.


1967 Paris–Tours
The 1967 Paris–Tours was the 61st edition of the Paris–Tours cycle race and was held on 8 October 1967. The race started in Paris and finished in Tours. The race was won by Rik Van Looy.


1967 Pau Grand Prix
The 1967 Pau Grand Prix was a Formula Two motor race held on 4 April 1967 at the Pau circuit, in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France. The Grand Prix was won by Jochen Rindt, driving the Brabham BT23. Denny Hulme finished second and Alan Rees third.


1967 Penang Hartal riot
The 1967 Penang Hartal riot (Malay: Hartal Pulau Pinang 1967) happened on November 24, 1967 in response to the devaluation of the Malayan dollar against the British pound sterling and the newly established Malaysian dollar.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Cause of the riot
The riot began as a peaceful protest organised by the Labour Party over the devaluation of the Malayan dollar against the British pound sterling.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Cause of the riot
Malaysian at that time had two currencies in circulation. One was the old Malayan dollar and the other was the new Malaysian dollar. Both were trading at par and valued at 8.57 dollar per pound. The pegging of the local currency to the pound was part of Malaysia's membership in the Sterling area. The new Malaysian dollar was introduced on June 12, 1967 as the currency union between Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei came to an end. Singapore was expelled out of Malaysia on August 9, 1965.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Cause of the riot
Five months after the introduction of the new Malaysian dollar, the United Kingdom government which was already struggling from the burden of post-World War II rebuilding decided to devalue the pound sterling by 14.3% against the US dollar as part of effort to improve its national competitiveness. The Tunku Abdul Rahman took the opportunity to devalue the old Malayan dollar by 15% against the pound by and the new Malaysian dollar.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Cause of the riot
The devaluation caused much disagreement among Malaysians who held the old currency, which led to the organisation of the hartal.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, The riot
However, the protest turned violent with 27 died and 137 people injured. Conflicts emerged as some shops refused to participate in the hartal and were forced to shut down by protesters. Several cafes serving breakfast were attacked by protesters.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, The riot
The federal government declared a 24-hour curfew beginning 8PM on the same day to overcome the riot.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Aftermath
The federal government launched an operation coded "Operation X", which closed down the Labour Party. During the raid, the police discovered communist documents at the party headquarters, which suggested that the Communist Party of Malaya might have played a role in the hartal.


1967 Penang Hartal riot, Aftermath
The old Malayan dollar itself continued to be used until January 16, 1969, albeit at a lower value.

At the time Petone was an electoral hive of activity with the local parliamentary seat becoming the third concurrent by-election in the area. There were also by-elections occurring for the local Maori seat, Southern Maori, following the death of Sir Eruera Tirikatene and the Petone mayoralty after Mayor Ralph Love was disqualified on a technicality.


1967 Petone by-election, Candidates
Petone was a safe seat for Labour and therefore there were no shortage of nominees. At least 17 candidates came forward in the seat. The most prominent of whom were:


1967 Petone by-election, Candidates
Both Bill Fox (a former MP who had lost Miramar in an upset in 1966) and Gerald O'Brien (a Wellington City Councillor and chairman of the Wellington Labour Representation Committee) were approached to stand, but declined. Fox cited his desire to retire and already having arrangements to move to Otaki, whilst O'Brien indicated that the demands of running his business would be incompatible with a parliamentary candidature.


1967 Petone by-election, Candidates
Richard Maunsell "Dick" Martin of Eastbourne was selected to contest the seat for the National Party. Martin had stood in Petone for National unsuccessfully in the 1960 general election where he had reduced Moohan's majority.

1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, Primaries, Republican
Incumbent District Attorney of Philadelphia Arlen Specter won the Republican primary.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
At the opening of the general election campaign, Specter was viewed as the frontrunner.

Tate supported legislation also endorsed by Cardinal John Krol which would allow state funding of parochial and other private schools, while Specter did not take a stance of this issue.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
During the campaign, Tate received heavy media attention by being in Tel Aviv during the outbreak of the Six-Day War and being in Rome when Archbishop Krol was elevated to Cardinal.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
Tate benefited from positive regards for the city's ability to keep greater peace amid the long, hot summer of 1967 than many other major cities had been able to.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
Tate thought he needed to send a "law and order" message to secure reelection, and therefore appointed Frank Rizzo as Philadelphia Police Commissioner. During the campaign, Tate was asked many times whether he planned to keep Rizzo in this position if reelected.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
Since Specter was a former liberal member of the Democratic party, he was able to receive the backing of much of Philadelphia's political establishment, as well as many liberal Democrats, such as the group Americans for Democratic Action.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Campaign
Specter presented himself as being able to usher in a continuance of the liberal reform policies of Tate's immediate two predecessors, Richardson Dilworth and Joseph S. Clark Jr.. Tate countered this by having Clark make appearances on the campaign trail with him.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Results
It is believed that Tate, the city's first Catholic mayor, received strong support from the Catholic electorate. He performed well in Catholic wards of the city. It is also believed that Tate benefited from strong turnout among labor voters.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Results
While Tate carried the city's African American wards, he received less support in these wards than was typical at the time for the Democratic Party.


1967 Philadelphia mayoral election, General election, Results
Specter, who would have become the city's first Jewish mayor had he won, carried the city's wards with a primarily Jewish population.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The 1967 Philadelphia School Board Public Demonstration was similar to the Chicago Public School Board Demonstration and the subsequent police riot which took place on November 17, 1967 in Philadelphia, was just one in a series of marches organized in various cities across the United States with the assistance of the Student NonViolent Committee (SNCC).


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The Student Action Committee (SAC) was in negotiations with the then school public Superintendent Mark Shedd and his adistant  Julie Cromartie, some three years before the advent of the planned demonstration on the sunny morning of 17 November 1967 as the Philadelphia Public School Board Demonstration.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The Student Action Committee (SAC) in union with two major Civil Rights Organizations, one headed by Bill Mathis, Chair of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the other, the Philadelphia Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) headed by Fred Mealy. Under black students of the Student Action Committee (SAC), Al Hampton, Scarlet Harvey, Jennefer Sprowalled,  the entire demonstration and negotiations was arranged with Philadelphia Public School Representati.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The citywide operation of the Student Action Committee group organizanizing black, white middle, high school and college and Catholic school students moved its forces to the Board of Education building on Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The students demanded an end to the tracking system holding Black students back from attending college and other opportunities, police out of public schools, up to date books, better school conditions, such as water fountain repairs and filtering and more Black school instructors.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
However, the protest was attacked by almost 400 Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) officers wielding clubs, led by Commissioner Frank Rizzo; the violent dispersal of the protest would lead to at least two civil lawsuits alleging the use of excessive force, one placed by the attacked students and the other placed by the attacked adults in the event.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The Philadeladelphia demonstration was part of a larger trend of student demonstrations and in the United States during the 1960s and early 1970s stemming from the closure of public schools to African American student attendance in at least one state in the southern United States of the latter 1950s.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
Numerous small segregationist, separatist, White Nationalist groups had demonstrated at the Philadelphia School Board regularly in opposition to integration of the schools.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration
The events of the 17th of November changed all hints of racist domination and control of the schools.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Student-led demands
Despite forming the majority of students in the public school system, there were few Black school officials. A number of demands had been presented to school administrators attending meetings held at the Church and World Institute on North Broad Street. Lack of action after those discussions with the school board prompted the November demonstration. The student-run and organized Central Coordinating Committee (CCC) demanded better public schools for all students in Philadelphia, especially African-Americans, and an end to tracking and the forced vocational education system which affected African-American students at that time. The issue of ending vocational tracking and other situations drew supporters from all areas of the city of Philadelphia.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Student-led demands
In addition, the students wanted to openly embrace their African roots by wearing appropriate clothing and natural hairstyles. Other demands included the removal of uniformed police officers from public schools, and the addition of African-American studies to the curriculum. Also, the draft and the need for counselors of the students' draft problems was held as a demand. Cecil B. Moore supported the students' demands during his unsuccessful 1967 campaign for Mayor of Philadelphia. Philadelphia public school Superintendent Marc Shedd had previously allowed Moore to campaign directly in local high schools; Moore regularly ridiculed Rizzo, a high school dropout: "You kids stay in school or you may wind up as police commissioner."


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Student-led demands
The CCC had been negotiating with Superintendent Shedd, who was known as a reformer, for at least a year before the demonstration. The CCC also met with white students and community organizers such as Walt Palmer to draft a student bill of rights; with a draft in hand, students made plans to present their bill of rights to the Board of Education on November 17, 1967. Shedd later met with student leaders and formed an impression that only three hundred students would show up.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Organizers
The demonstration was led and planned, organized, and operationalized, in part, by the CCC. The main in-high-school-local-teams planning the demonstration and engaged as the prime leadership was the African American Student Society (AASS) posted out of Gratz High School and Gillespie Junior High School, respectively. Germantown High School had a very active presentation and was a part of the AASS, which with student assistance, debated the difference between becoming a student union or a student association.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Organizers
The Student Action Committee (SAC) was another organizing force behind the demonstrations. It was made up of high school students from various schools, public and religious, across Philadelphia. SAC met for at least three years before the demonstration, and published and distributed a student-run newsletter. SAC was active in a number of demonstrations in that period, such as the Philadelphia Post Office demonstration to demand hiring of African-Americans on an equal basis, the Girard College integration marches, various marches connected to the Civil Rights Movement as well as a number of anti-war marches.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Organizers
Members of SAC were also active with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality, which had offices in south and north Philadelphia, respectively.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Gratz and Bok
At lunchtime on October 26, 1967, approximately 300 students at Gratz High School walked out, carrying signs asking for greater Black representation on the School Board. A similar number of students also walked out at Bok Technical High School. District officials praised their actions as "real social studies in action".


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Prelude, Gratz and Bok
A dozen students held a day-long demonstration at Bok Technical High School on November 10, 1967, demanding a course be offered in African-American history; in response, the school's administrators threatened to expel the students. Leaders in the African-American community picketed the high schools with predominantly Black enrollment on November 16, encouraging students to attend a "Black Student Rally" to support the Bok students, who were rumored to have been suspended, at the Board of Education the next day. It was later clarified the twelve Bok students were told not to return to school until they brought a parent with them.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Assembly and negotiation
On November 17, 1967, by police count, 3,500 students in total did not attend classes and assembled around the Board of Education building at 21st and the Parkway. The demonstrators included youth groups, Catholic high school students, public junior high and high school students. School administrators had anticipated only 350 demonstrators. Student organizers disputed the police count, stating there were many more students present than the police projected, and, interestingly, most of the photos and video of the demonstration are missing from a number of archives.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Assembly and negotiation
Up to 10,000 students were prevented from attending the demonstration by action of school administrators and police activity locking school doors, turning students away from the demonstration, and picking up and holding students through the afternoon. Superintendent Shedd had instructed principals to not encourage students to attend the rally, but the principals were also not to prevent students from attending.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Assembly and negotiation
Students began gathering at the Board of Education building starting at approximately 9 AM. A small group of students and adult community leaders were admitted to negotiate directly with Superintendent Shedd and the Board of Education, led by Board President Richardson Dilworth; eventually, the Board agreed to each demand and the news was shouted from a window to the crowd below. The mood was characterized by Palmer as one of "hope, energy, and possibility that must never be forgotten" and the Philadelphia Bulletin likened it to "a picnic". The crowd grew visibly and audibly with the arrival of approximately 900 students from Benjamin Franklin and William Penn high schools, who were chanting "Black Power!" repeatedly.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Rizzo arrives
At approximately 11 AM, a car was damaged when two students climbed onto its roof; the increased size and noise of the crowd intimidated PPD Lt. George Fencl, who was onsite leading a small squad of plainclothes officers in the Civil Disobedience Unit, and he requested police assistance at approximately 11:30. Acting PPD Commissioner Frank Rizzo, who was overseeing swearing-in ceremonies for 111 new officers at City Hall seven blocks away, responded by loading the new officers in buses and speeding to the scene. Rizzo, who assumed command just before 12 PM, arranged the police forces across Twenty-first from the crowd, which he later characterized as "a howling, undisciplied and disorganized mob".


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Rizzo arrives
According to the police, the demonstrators began throwing rocks and bottles at the police, an assertion which was disputed by students, school administrators, and bystanders at the scene. In the opinion written dismissing a subsequent lawsuit, a panel of three judges stated those witnesses "were inside the building without a full view of the noise and conditions" of the crowd and gave greater weight to the testimony of Commissioner Rizzo and others who said missiles had been thrown at the police. Shedd sent Fred Holliday, a Black school administrator, to ask the police to distance themselves from the crowd. Holliday was thrown to the ground by a police officer, tearing his coat; later, Board Vice President Henry Nichols convinced Rizzo to surrender his club.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Melee
Commissioner Rizzo later testified that two policemen, who were arresting a prisoner, had been knocked to the ground, prompting him to order more than 100 officers to their rescue at approximately 12:30 PM. Witnesses said Rizzo told his officers to "Get their Black asses!" Although Rizzo denied saying that phrase, local news anchor Larry Kane showed him film proving he had; Kane later recalled that Rizzo "said, 'Oh, my goodness, did I do that?' He was embarrassed. He was very rarely embarrassed."


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Melee
They just beat the s— out of those kids who offered no resistance. It was a real stampede. I had seen police brutality before but never at this level. I saw two cops holding a kid while the third hit him over the head. I saw a cop break his billy stick over a kid's shoulder. They were really pounding the s— out of them. It was totally unnecessary and really bloody. Rizzo just couldn't keep his finger off the trigger. He started a police riot. There's absolutely no doubt about it.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Student strike and police response, Melee
Regardless of the actual precipitating event, the encounter quickly turned violent. The police started by beating a female student and an Episcopal priest who was trying to protect protesters. Students provided virtually no resistance to the police and fled down Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. Contemporary news coverage characterized the protesters as violent and unruly, concentrating on the actions of those who broke windows and terrorized Center City pedestrians during their flight from police. Twenty-two people were seriously injured and fifty-seven were arrested. The court later found that "law enforcement officials of Philadelphia, having properly cleared the streets of a mob, may have applied the Pennsylvania criminal statutes ... overbroadly and indiscriminately in a situation where citizens were exercising their First Amendment rights in the Philadelphia community.

Reaction to the demonstration was split. Some criticized the brutal response of police officers against unarmed student, while others praised Rizzo's action to suppress the demonstration. Rizzo was supported by Mayor James Hugh Joseph Tate, who called him "the best law-enforcement officer in the land."

The North City Congress, a social service organization, produced a report on November 29, 1967, entitled, “A Comparison of Police Action in Kensington Riots of 1966 and at the School Board Demonstration, November, 1967” noted the discrepancies in the actions of the Philadelphia Police Department, in the decision to attack the students at the Philadelphia school board demonstration as opposed to a riot which had occurred in a white community.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, Frank Rizzo
Rizzo defended his actions in a 1971 interview: "Look, I thought we handled ourselves well. We broke it up before it got out of hand. It might have been much worse if we had just stood by. I believe it is easier to blow out a match than extinguish a forest fire." He also blamed Superintendent Shedd for not requesting an injunction to prevent protests. Spencer Coxe, head of the local American Civil Liberties Union, countered that Rizzo was the direct cause of the violence: "There was a lot of noise, the crowd was very large.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, Frank Rizzo
But when Rizzo took charge, there was a dramatic change in police behavior. ... after he arrived, they acted, I think, with great brutality. ... The police took their cue from the commissioner and their character changed in response to his wishes." Board President Dilworth also blamed Rizzo for acting precipitously: "Things were under control until Commissioner Rizzo, without our request, saw fit to loose a couple of hundred men, swinging clubs and beating children."


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, Frank Rizzo
At least two court cases were filed against the Philadelphia Police Department for their role in the riot: Heard et al. v Rizzo et al. and Traylor et al. v. Rizzo et al., but the suits were dismissed by a three-member panel of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania before the activists and protesters had a chance to present their case; upon subsequent appeal, the Supreme Court would not grant a hearing.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, Frank Rizzo
Rizzo was later elected Mayor of Philadelphia in 1971; during his attempt to gain a third term, the same groups that organized the November 17th Demonstration defeated his bid for office and an accompanying change in the City Charter which would have allowed a third term.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, Mark Shedd
Mark Shedd made some initial reforms in the aftermath of the riot, including granting student demands for draft-counseling services, drafting a students’ bill of rights, and granting them a voice in curriculum and disciplinary procedures. However, his reforms were not well-received, and he was eventually forced to resign. During a private meeting on the afternoon of November 17, Shedd recalled that Rizzo warned him to ensure that students remained in school. "[Rizzo] was livid. His face and neck were red. He said directly to me, 'Get those f—ing black kids back to school This is my town. No softie from the outside is going to come in and screw it up. If you don't keep those kids in school, I'm going to run your ass out of Philadelphia if it's the last thing I do.'"


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, School reform
All of the demands of the students were won during the November 17 negotiations at the School Board. Many demands were placed in action, and enforced after the march and demonstration. The school board released a booklet on student rights in 1968. Although the demands were won in 1967, African American History did not become a graduation requirement for high school students in the School District of Philadelphia until 2005; it was the first school district in the United States with that requirement.


1967 Philadelphia student demonstration, Aftermath, School reform
In "Discipline, Contradiction, and the Mis-Education of Philadelphia: The African and African-American Curriculum in Philadelphia High Schools and the Challenge of Junior ROTC, 1967-2005", Wes Enzinna's History Honors Thesis pointed out the strategy of authorities in opposing the demonstration was to increase the ability of those authorities to move youth into the military. The struggle continues, as at least one of the military academies have closed since 1990.


1967 Philippine Senate election
A senatorial election was held on November 14, 1967, in the Philippines. The 1967 election for the members of the Philippine Senate were also known as the 1967 midterm election, as the date where the elected candidates take office falls halfway through President Ferdinand Marcos' four-year term. The administration Nacionalista Party won five seats in the Philippine Senate while the Liberal Party won three seats; the Nacionalistas got the majority in the Senate after having twelve of the 24 seats in the Senate prior to the election.

1967 Philippine constitutional plebiscite
A constitutional referendum was held in the Philippines on 14 November 1967. On 16 March 1967 Congress decided that a Constitutional Convention would be elected in 1971. In preparation for the election, two amendments to the constitution were proposed beforehand. Voters were asked whether they approved of two amendments to the Constitution of the Philippines; one to increase the number of members of the House of Representatives from 120 to 180, and one to allow members of Congress to be elected to Constitutional Conventions without giving up their Congress seats. A petition seeking to stop the referendum was filed before the Supreme Court, but was dismissed five days before the referendum. Both proposals were rejected by voters.


1967 Philippine constitutional plebiscite
A Constitutional Convention was subsequently elected on 10 November 1970, and began work on a new constitution on 6 January 1971. A draft was published on 29 November 1972 and put to a referendum on 15 January 1973.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
The 1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship was the fourth World Match Play Championship. It was played from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 October on the West Course at Wentworth. Eight players competed in a straight knock-out competition, with each match contested over 36 holes. The champion received £5,000 out of a total prize fund of £16,000. In the final Arnold Palmer defeated Peter Thomson at the 36th hole to win the tournament for the second time.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
Gary Player, the winner for the previous two years, was taken to the 39th hole by Gay Brewer in the opening round. Brewer was three up at lunch but Player has leveled the match by the 12th hole of the afternoon. Player then holed an eagle putt from 85 feet at the 17th to take the lead. At the last, Brewer holed from 12 feet for a birdie to level the match again. At the third extra hole, Player noticed that the green staff had moved the hole in preparation for the next day.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
He objected and the referee, Michael Bonallack, agreed to replace the hole in its original position. With no green staff available a penknife was used to cut out the hole. Brewer's second shot had finished in a green-side bunker but he came out 18 feet past the hole and three-putted to give Player the victory.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
Player was finally beaten by Peter Thomson in the semi-final. Thomson led by three holes at lunch and led until Player halved the match with an eagle three at the 15th. Thomson birdied the 16th to take the lead again and the match finished when Player hooked his tee shot out of bounds at the 17th.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
In the final, Thomson was three up over Arnold Palmer after six holes but the match was level when the players went to lunch. The match was still all square after 27 holes. Palmer took the lead with a birdie at the 10th and extended his lead to three holes by winning the 12th and 13th holes. Thomson reduced the lead to one by winning the 14th and 15th but Palmer holed from 15 feet to halve the 16th. The 17th was halved but Thomson was unable to get the birdie he needed at the last.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship
As in previous years, the match play championship was preceded by the Piccadilly Tournament, a 72-hole stroke play competition, which was played on the East Course on 10 and 11 October. The winner was Peter Butler who won £750. Because there were no British golfers in the main event, there had been talk of a boycott of this event by some of the British golfers. In the end the PGA issued a statement and the boycott came to nothing.


1967 Piccadilly World Match Play Championship, Prize money
The winner received £5,000, the runner-up £3,000, the losing semi-finalists £2,000 and the first round losers £1,000, making a total prize fund of £16,000.

1967 Plainfield riots
The Plainfield riots was one of 159 race riots that swept cities in the United States during the "Long Hot Summer of 1967". This riot was a series of racially charged violent disturbances that occurred in Plainfield, New Jersey, which mirrored the 1967 Newark riots in nearby Newark.


1967 Plainfield riots, Background
Two days after some African Americans began protesting and rioting in Newark in 1967, the Plainfield riots began. Plainfield is located about 18 miles southwest of Newark, and about a third of Plainfield's 48,000 citizen were African Americans then. Tensions remained high that summer through the night of Friday, July 14 when a fight broke out at a local diner, The White Star. Afterwards, about 40 young black men left the diner and marched back to their housing project in the West End section of Plainfield. They vented their anger along the way by smashing store windows and throwing rocks at police cars. When the local police showed up in force, the group dispersed.


1967 Plainfield riots, Background
The White Star Diner, which still stands today, was depicted by artist Casey Ruble in 2015.


1967 Plainfield riots, The riot
On Saturday night trouble started again. Many long time residents of Plainfield claimed that "outside agitators" who did not live in Plainfield came into the city to provoke violence and to "rile up" the community. Some were white men and some were black men and the hatred they fanned was infectious. Rioting and looting increased and Molotov cocktails were thrown at fire trucks responding to calls. Police from surrounding jurisdictions were called in and the crowds finally dispersed when a heavy rain started to fall early Sunday morning.


1967 Plainfield riots, The riot
On Sunday afternoon several hundred people gathered at Green Brook Park to hear the local Director of Human Relations talk about the situation in the city. The Union County, New Jersey Park Police, who had jurisdiction over the park, declared the meeting unlawful and ordered the crowd to disperse. Some reported that the police dismissively referred to the gatherers as "boys" in urging them to leave the park, which was taken as racially inflammatory and may have led to anger.


1967 Plainfield riots, The riot
The crowd broke up and reformed in the West End section of Plainfield where widespread rioting started again. The city police were caught off guard and did not respond quickly enough to quell the disorder.


1967 Plainfield riots, The riot, Murder of Officer John Gleason
Later that evening a white police officer, John Gleason, was manning a checkpoint. Members of the white motorcycle gang known as the Pagans entered the area and a confrontation between a large group of young black men and the white members of the Pagans was brewing. Police Officer John Gleason placed himself between the two groups and the Pagan motorcycle gang left. The remaining crowd refused to disperse and Officer Gleason became surrounded by the crowd which began to threaten him and close in on him. Officer Gleason fired a shot and wounded Bobby Lee Williams. When the officer tried to leave the area to get help, he was overtaken by a mob and was beaten with a steel grocery store cart, stomped and eventually shot and killed with his own service revolver.


1967 Plainfield riots, Middlesex arms theft
That same night in nearby Middlesex an arms factory was broken into and 46 automatic weapons were stolen. The Plainfield Machine Company was a small manufacturing company owned by William Haas and William Stork that, among other things, produced M1 carbines for the civilian market. The stolen guns were passed out to the men on the streets of Plainfield that very night. The police were anxious because of the large number of guns now on the streets and the Plainfield Fire Department Station was under constant gunfire for five hours. The bullet holes in the brick facade of the building remain to this day. Finally, New Jersey National Guardsmen, in armored personnel carriers relieved the station.


1967 Plainfield riots, Middlesex arms theft
Police tried to arrange a truce and have residents turn in the stolen carbines. Black residents felt that having the guns in the community kept the police at bay and that they now had power over the police. When none of the stolen firearms were returned, the area was cordoned off and 300 heavily armed New Jersey State Police and National Guardsmen started a house-to-house search for the stolen weapons. After about an hour and a half, with 66 homes searched, the operation was called off. The police felt that since Governor Hughes had declared a State of Emergency, no search warrants were needed.


1967 Plainfield riots, Aftermath
By July 21, things had calmed down to the point where National Guard troops and state police could be pulled out of the city.


1967 Plainfield riots, Aftermath
Dozens of black residents later filed suit against the government claiming that their constitutional rights had been violated during the search for the stolen carbines. Even several weeks after the riot, the local police and FBI were still looking for the stolen weapons. No arrests had been made in the theft and only a few of the guns had been recovered.


1967 Plainfield riots, Aftermath
More than 100 people had been arrested for looting and rioting during the disturbance. Officer Gleason was the only person killed during the riot and in December 1968, a jury convicted two people, a man and a woman, of murder in his death. They were both sentenced to life imprisonment. Seven others were acquitted and one case was declared a mistrial because of a deadlocked jury.


1967 Plainfield riots, Legacy
Like many cities, Plainfield suffered a decline from the stigma of the riots, and many of the burned and looted businesses remained vacant for over four decades. Several residents decamped for neighboring towns like Edison, Scotch Plains, Watchung, Warren, Westfield and Bridgewater. Many residents abandoned their houses after leaving, as the massive number of people selling their property resulted in people being unable to sell them (or at massively reduced prices). After leaving, since the owners did not want to live there anymore but could not sell, they sometimes let them fall into foreclosure.


1967 Plainfield riots, Legacy
After a while many of them ended up derelict. Many of the houses were also turned into multi family homes. It remains one of the poorest urban areas in the state with a 16 percent poverty rate including over 7 percent having an income less than 50 percent of poverty level.


1967 Plainfield riots, Legacy
Author and Plainfield native Isaiah Tremaine published the book Insurrection in 2017 as an accounting of the Plainfield riots from his perspective as a black teenager living in the city at the time.


1967 Plainfield riots, Legacy
In July 2017, the Plainfield Anti- Violence Coalition held a memorial event to discuss and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the rebellion.


1967 Port Louis riots
The 1967 Port Louis riots refer to a series of violent clashes and looting in the city of Port Louis, Mauritius.


1967 Port Louis riots, August 1967 Elections Riots
The 07 August 1967 General Elections were held to determine the nation's support for independence from the British. In the afternoon of the election day fighting broke out between Muslims against Creoles and Chinese in Constituency No. 3 (Port Louis Maritime and East). Mohamed's Muslim supporters of CAM clashed against Ah Chuen's Chinese and Duval's Creoles of PMSD. CAM supporters destroyed PMSD's cars, blocked roads and rumoured that CAM's Ibrahim Dawood was no longer running for office. Retaliation by PMSD soon followed as they burnt down a house and many civilians were assaulted. The Police Riot Unit (PRU) and Special Mobile Force (SMF) had to intervene and tear gas was used to bring the crowds under control.


1967 Port Louis riots, September & October 1967 Riots
The government of Mauritius dismissed 10,000 relief workers and soon protesters started to demonstrate in the streets of Port Louis to protest against the loss of their jobs. For 5 months leading to the August 1967 elections the Labour government had boosted the number of relief workers by more than 60% (from 19,290 to 30,887). They had been waiting at Line Barracks (Police Headquarters) for their pay. The protesters damaged police vehicles, blocked roads and threw rocks at the police. 73 protesters were eventually arrested.


1967 Port Louis riots, September & October 1967 Riots
In early October 1967 teenagers assembled at the Employment Exchange in Port Louis to express their interests in finding employment. However the office was soon ransacked and destroyed by the angry crowd. They blocked roads and armed police had to intervene to restore peace.


1967 Portugal floods
The 1967 Portugal floods (the "big floods") were flash floods that took place in 25 and 26 November 1967, Portugal, in the Lisbon metropolitan area, affecting a total of 14 municipalities. It was the most deadly flood registered in Portugal, accounting for more than half of all registered deaths by floods since 1865. It was also the deadliest natural hazard in Portugal since the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.


1967 Portugal floods, Background
The network of river basins affected by the flood were small (17 with basin areas smaller than 40km²) or medium-sized (Trancão River, Alenquer River, and Grande da Pipa River, all with basin areas ranging from 100 to 300km²). Yet, their natural characteristics (slope, low permeable formations, etc.) enable them to generate flash floods, a risk that some of the affected areas still had in 2005.


1967 Portugal floods, Background
Extreme poverty and high birth rates had led to a rural flight towards the main cities of Portugal, namely the Lisbon metropolitan area. Some of these newcomers, lacking money, would build their houses illegally, occupying plains prone to flooding and river banks.


1967 Portugal floods, Flood details
During the night of 25 November 1967, heavy rain poured down. The rain was most intense (>120 mm) in the metropolitan area of Lisbon, particularly in a 60km line between Estoril and Alenquer, but intense rain (>75mm) affected a large area in an axis of South West to North East orientation from Lisbon to the border with Spain. Most of the rain poured in a five-hour interval, between 7 p.m. and midnight. Another factor that increased the impact of the flood that followed was the high tide, which was highest between 6 p.m. and 1 am.


1967 Portugal floods, Flood details
The rain led the water levels of the Tagus river near Lisbon and its tributaries to rise 3 to 4 meters, flooding many houses up to level of their first floor. The flood dragged a lot of debris, namely stones and mud, but also wood, tiles and metal from houses and people's belongings.


1967 Portugal floods, Flood details
The flood took most people by surprise as they were home or already sleeping and no flood alert system existed at the time. Its negative effects were worse in Odivelas riverside and in the Trancão River margins. The mud dragged away many bodies, so it was difficult to estimate casualties. The official death toll was 495 deaths, unofficial estimates are of at least 700 deaths.


1967 Portugal floods, Flood details
Based on available sources (such as newspapers), there were 2045 people registered as being directly affected by the flood: 522 dead, 330 injured, 885 who lost their home, 307 who were evacuated and one missing person. Most of the dead were originally from rural areas, namely North and Alentejo and almost one fifth of the registered dead lived in a small village called "Aldeia de Quintas" (100 dead). Furthermore, the river destroyed two bridges, one in Odivelas, the other in Trancão.


1967 Portugal floods, Flood details
A leptospirosis outbreak potentially followed the flood, but the number of infected people is not known.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
Firefighters, soldiers, student associations and the Red Cross, among others, would offer relief to the victims by providing shelter, medicine, food, etc. A firefighter of Odivelas reports that some people were sheltered in the local fire department for more than a month. Almost 6.000 students were involved in disaster relief. The students created a Central Coordinating Commission in Instituto Superior Técnico's student association that was in charge of coordinating the students' relief efforts.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
The students would write their experiences and reflections through some outlets that were already established, such as the Comércio do Funchal, and some new, such as the Solidariedade Estudantil. Students of the University of Porto (with fundraising) and University of Coimbra (with medical support) also helped. These floods are considered by some as a pivotal moment that would lead to the Academic Crisis of 1969 and the Carnation Revolution. Despite this, the event is not frequently evoked and the academic literature focuses mostly on the meteorological aspects of the event.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
The government attempted to censor the extent of the tragedy by not allowing television to display images of the dead and downplaying the causality numbers newspaper reported. In 26 November 1967, Diário de Lisboa's front page reported more than 200 dead, while Diário de Notícias in 29 November reported 427 dead before the censorship did not allow further public tallies. Some journal editors would also self-censor information they thought could led the whole text to be rejected. In 29 November, the local censorship delegations received instructions to remove all references to the students' relief efforts. PIDE would interrogate the United Press International correspondent Edouard Khavessian about a newspiece regarding student protests against the way the government dealt with the tragedy.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
"[...] only the violence of the phenomenon of exceptional character, registered in the dramatic hours of the night of 25 to 26 of November, can fully explain the greatness of the damages caused." – Ministry of the Interior's note on Diário de Lisboa, 1967.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
"[...] we wouldn't say: it was the floods, it was the rain. Perhaps it is fairer to say: it was misery, misery that our society did not neutralize, that caused the majority of deaths. Even in death it is sad to be miserable. Especially when you die for being miserable." – Comércio do Funchal, nº 1963, 1967.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
Newspapers closer to the regime would frame the catastrophe as unpredictable and would focus on the wave of grief and solidarity that followed. Others, namely the Portuguese Communist Party (then an illegal party) and student publications, would focus on social factors as the main cause. For example, the Solidariedade Estudantil bulletin would point out that the peak of the rain had occurred in Estoril, while most deaths would occur in the Lisbon slums. Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles, soon after the floods, appeared on national TV (RTP) establishing a direct link between the lack of spatial planning and the dimension of the tragedy.


1967 Portugal floods, Aftermath
Since 1967, there were only two other years with comparable events of intense precipitation: 1983 and 2008, but none led to as many deaths or evacuated people as the 1967 floods. While some of the most affected areas were not repopulated after 1969, such as the Santa Cruz da Urmeira neighborhood in Odivelas (20 killed, 30 injured, 100 homeless), other areas were repopulated and have since expanded closer to the river banks. New neighborhoods, such as the Bairro do Vale do Forno, have since been constructed near the river banks. In effect, many areas, at least in the Odivelas area, still had high risk for flash floods as of 2005, but the local population does not consider their personal risk to be high (58%) and do not have insurance that would protect them in case of a flood (82%).


1967 Prague Skate
The 1967 Prague Skate was a senior international figure skating competition held in November 1967 in Czechoslovakia. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Ondrej Nepela and Hana Mašková won gold medals for Czechoslovakia in the singles categories. The Soviet Union won two titles — Tatiana Sharanova / Anatoli Evdokimov took gold in pairs while Irina Grishkova / Viktor Ryzhkin became the ice dancing champions.

Damascus, who was jockeyed by Bill Shoemaker, won the race by two and one quarter lengths over runner-up In Reality. Approximate post time was 5:31 p.m. Eastern Time. The race was run on a fast track in a final time of 1:55-1/5. The Maryland Jockey Club reported total attendance of 38,371, this is recorded as second highest on the list of American thoroughbred racing top attended events for North America in 1967.

1967 Pro Bowl
The 1967 Pro Bowl was the seventeenth annual National Football League (NFL) all-star game which featured the outstanding performers from the 1966 season. The game was played on January 22, 1967, in a heavy rainstorm at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California before a sparse crowd of 15,062. This was the second-lowest attendance in the history of the Pro Bowl next to the inaugural game in 1939. The final score was East 20, West 10. For the second year in a row, the East dominated the West on the strength of turnovers. They recovered two fumbles and intercepted four passes.
