SPORTLIGHT
Dec. 1
1936–End Larry Kelley of Yale is named the Heisman Trophy winner.
1951–Arnold "Showboat" Boykin of Mississippi scores seven touchdowns in a 49-7 rout of Mississippi State.
1959–Louisiana State halfback Billy Cannon is named the Heisman Trophy winner.
1973–Jack Nicklaus wins the Disney World Open to become the first professional golfer to surpass $2 million in career earnings.

1984–Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie is named the 50th Heisman Trophy winner.
1990–Ty Detmer of Brigham Young wins the Heisman Trophy. Detmer, who had set or tied 25 NCAA passing and total offense records, becomes the first BYU winner and third consecutive junior winner.
1991–France wins the Davis Cup for the first time in 59 years when Guy Forget beats Pete Sampras in four sets to give France an insurmountable 3-1 lead over the United States.
1992–Washington guard Michael Adams sets a professional record for career 3-point baskets with his 795th in the Bullets' 119-106 victory over San Antonio. Louie Dampier had 794 3-point goals for Kentucky of the ABA and San Antonio of the NBA from 1967-79.
2000–Indiana holds Vancouver scoreless in overtime for a 86-76 victory. It's the eighth time in NBA history that a team fails to score in an overtime period.
