{10 Big Teams Unbeaten

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—There are only 10 undefeated major football teams left in all America today and no matter how long you study the statistics there's just one conclusion —that perfect seasons no longer are merely notable, they're downright miraculous.

Six of the 10 are still. eligible to complete such miracles, despite a wave of upsats which mired many another favored eleven in ankle-|. deep mud over the week-end. The lucky half dozen is Texas, Duke, Minnesota, Fordham, Duquesne and Texas Aggies. The other four teams which survived are unbeaten but not untied. They are Army, Navy, Notre Dame] 5€ and = Mississippi State. Although their records are slightly spotted they fared much better than another quartet which was up among them a week ago. That group is Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania, Temple and Texas Tech— the major victims of the season's gixth week. All tumbled from their lofty perches into the beaten ranks and lost any possible claim to the mythical national title. Call it an upset, a moral victory or what you will, the goose egg classic fought by the Army and the Irish in New York gave the nation its biggest thrill. Both unbeaten and unbowed, they battled through the mud for full 60 minutes without a decision—but the glory there was went to the out-manned, outpowered cadets. Navy, not facing such great odds, did even better. The Middies knocked off unbeaten Penn, 13-6, .to retain their place among the Bowl

eligibles in the second big game of |

the day. In the West, the Minnesota juggernaut all but clinched the Western Conference title by shading Northwestern, 8-7, in the section's epic. Two prominent Bowl contenders, Fordham and Duke, rolled on as expected over Purdue and Georgia Tech, and Stanford edged nearer the holy walls of Pasadena by smacking over Santa: Clara by a lop-sided score. Texas earned its right to the nation’s top position by blanking strong Southern Methodist, 34-0, with ease and finesse.

No, you don’t need to look again. THat's our hockey Capitals up there atop the American League. Right alongside the defending cham-
