UPSETS MARKED ENTIRE SEASON OF GRIO TEAMS Past Football Season Marked By Deluge Os Upsets New York, Nov. 30.—An-I other football season has ended, but the memory of its many startling upsets remained today to plague the “experts." F'avorite elevens refused to play true to form and left the so-called i experts directly behind the eight hall Saturday after Saturday, Un-der-dogs knocking off the logical winners became a national pasttime and the season will be recorded. by sportswriters at least, as “the black autumn of '36." Except for a few remaining encounters. the season closed with a dramatic climax as Navy torpedoed Army. 7to 0. This was not an upset. but non-conformity persisted even on the final day of firing when Lou Little’s Columbia Lions fought a highly favored Stanford team to a standstill and came out on top by the same margin as a result of George Ftirey's 80-yard runback of the opening kickoff for a touchdown. This miscalculation, however, was mild compared to some of the season's earlier unexpected results leaving little Santa Clara the nation's only undefeated, untied team, i And the Broncos still have to :

There seemed to be no teain capable of stopping Minnesota's winning streak when the season began, but Northwestern turned the trick only to be beaten by twice-defeated Notre Dame. Then there were Ohio State's big red raiders who romped over N. Y. U. 60 to 0. Pitt's Panthers quickly quieted that threat, and Pitt was defeated unexpectedly by little Duquesne. West Virginia Wesleyan wrecked the "Dukes" bandwagon. Fordham's Rams went undefeated until their last game when their fighting intra-city rivals, N. Y.U. Violets, took a 7-6 decision. One of the most unlooked for results was Holy Cross being held to a 0-0 deadlock by St. Anselm's, playing its second year of collegiate football. Two of Divies major elevens, however, managed to escape the, maelstrom undefeated, although. both were tied, and it is between Alabama and Louisiana State as to who shall travel west to battle Washington in the Rose Bowl New Year's day. Although the latter has the more impressive record, dusting off Tulane. 33 to 0, Saturday. the Crimson Tide probably will get the bid because the huskies crave revenge for that 20-19 bowl defeat in 1926. L. S. U.'s victory over the Green Wave gave them the southeastern conference title for the second consecutive year. In the southwestern conference Texas Christian was held to a scoreless deadlock by Southern Methodist, leaving the way clear for Arkansas to have undisputed claim of the championship by beating Texas next Saturday. Baylor kicked a field goal to edge out Rice 10 to 7. Nebraska's powerful Cornhuskers swamped Oregon State 32 to 14 in an intersectional at Portland. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Navy 7.

GREEN DRY TOPS WEST DIVISION Packers To Meet Boston Or New York For Championship (By United Press) Professional football Interest turned to the east today to anticipate whether the western champion Green Bay Packers of the National league will meet the Boston Red Skins or the New York Giants in the championship playoff.
