BARKER Associated Press Sports Editor Northwestern, Clemson, Navy, Detroit and Kentucky were summarily removed from football's unbeaten class yesterday as Bernie Bierman's Minnesota Gophers roared a new challenge to the Western Conference in particular and the Nation in peneral. Just 11 major teams now can boast unbeaten records and Army Outplays Notre Dame But Loses on 81-Yard Run, 7-0 By GRANTLAND RICE Special to The Inquirer NEW YORK, Nov, 2. The Wildcat almost licked the Grizzly Bear.

In one of the most sensational surprises in the 71-year history of American football, Notre Dame beat Aimy by only 7 to 0, this afternoon before 80,000 spectators. But the score is minor point. For all afternoon Army outplayed and outfought Notre Dame by a killing margin and deserved to win. An intercepted pass by Steve Juzwik in the first period on Notre Dame's 19-yard line led to a winning 81-yard touchdown dash as two Army tacklers missed their charge. This was the sum and total of Notre Dame's offense against an Army" team that came OFF PURSUIT Tigers Tied By Harvard By BILL KING CAMBRIDGE, Nov.

2 (A. Aided by the heavy rain. Harvard's underdog football forces held a superior Princeton team to a scoreless tie today before a drenched crowd of 15,000, one of the smallest to witness a "Big Three" gridiron battle in Harvard Stadium. As the ancient rivals battled in the mud that ruined most of sharpshooter Dave Allerdice's passes and put leg Irons on such consistent ground gainers as Bob Peters and Hob Jackson, the Tigers failed on the gome's only scoring chance. Late in the third period.

Harvard had punted 12 times and Princeton 1 1 before Peters set the stage for the Tigers' opportunity by booting the soggy ball 40 yards to Franny Lee on Harvard's five. That speedy Crim-sonite carried it back to his 20, where he was hit so hard that he fumbled, and Bill Morris, big Princeton tackle, recovered. FIELD GOAL TRY BLOCKED Then, just as the Tigers appeared to be well under way, they drew a back in motion penalty that brought them to a halt on Harvard's five-yard line, with fourth down coming up and five more to go. Coach Tad Wieman then rushed in Bob Sandbach, the placement specialist, to try to clinch the game with a field goal. Sandbach went back to Harvard's 12.

sighted his target in careful fashion, and then advanced toward the slippery ball that Allerdice held for him. He did manage to get his right foot on it, but Burgy Ayres and Mackinney crashed in so fast that they blocked the ball together and another Harvard player recovered it on his 22. The courageous Harvards did not appear in any danger thereafter, Continued on Page 3, Column 3 as dusk closed in with the big scoreboard reading: Stanford 20, U. C. L.

Mixing hard, sound football with colorful splashes of that now-you-see-it, now-you-don't variety, to the delight of a roaring throng of 55.000, and the discomfiture of the battling Bruins, the Stanfords scored explosive touchdowns in the first, second and final periods.

Few can recall a winning team that was so badly outclassed from start to finish. Army lias had fighting teams before, but this was the all-time top.

Only a point better than little Williams beaten 45 to 0 by Cornell, tied by Harvard, crushed 19 to 0 by little Lafayette, Army came back against one of Notre Dame's great teams with a savage lilt that should have carried the day. MORE THAN LUCKY Notre Dame was more than lucky to win. In fact, Notre Dame would have been lucky to get even a draw. In the first half Army rolled up the crushing total of 153 yards to Notre Dame's 3. Army made nine first downs to Notre Dame's 1.

In the broad sweep of the game, Army rolled up 237 yards to Notre Dame's 62. Army piled up 15 first downs to Notre Dame's four. It was Army all over the field running, passing, blocking, tackling by a terrific margin but that one pass interception by Steve Juzwik for 81 yards and a touchdown produced the winning score.

2 (A. For a football machine which was accused of traveling on one cylinder, Cornell did pretty well today. It ran over, under and around the Lions of Columbia to a 27 to 0 victory, its 13th in a row, and the 17th straight in which it has Temple Trips BucknelUO-7 By STAN BAUMGARTNER Inquirer Sports Reporter LEWISBURG, Nov. 2. A magnificent placement from the 25- yard line by Left Guard Sidney Beshunsky, with only 43 seconds to play gave Temple University a spectacular 10-7 triumph over Buck-nell at Memorial Stadium here today before 10,000 homecoming Bison alumni.

The 35-yard kick, on a muddy field that made even walking a hazardous occupation, broke a 7-7 tie and gave the Templars their first triumph over Bucknell at Lewlsburg. OWLS PENALIZED The ball was on the Bisons' 13-yftrd line, fourth down and three to go, when the alert Temple quarterback, realizing that the moments were fleeing fast, called time out. It was a smart move, but one that cost the Owls five yards for delaying the game and put the ball on the 18. Beshunsky then called for the special attachment he fits over the toe of his good right shoe on such occasions. Tomasic, a hero all day for the Owls, set himself to receive the pass from centre.

The ball was snapped Tomasic set it firmly to the ground and Beshunsky gave it a mighty boot. The pigskin wafted dramatically end-over-end and split the goal posts. FANS, PLAYERS GO WILD Temple rooters went wild. Owl players danced about like animated mannikins, hugging and embracing each other in their Joy. Thus came to a thrilling conclusion from a Temple point of view at least a dogged battle in which Bucknell took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter.

Temple tied it at 7-7 in the early moments of the third period and from then on until the final 48 seconds it was anybody's triumph. The game was played on a muddy Continued on Page 4, Column 7 the end zone before the Middies could sound alarms. They were triumphant, too. because they were alert, as when Navy unwisely gambled on a 17- second time remnant, surround ing the ball as the second period was waning. For it was Eddie Allen, the sterling fullback, who quickly passed to Bernie Kuczynski as the hands on the clock moved toward half-time, and it was a startled Navy backfield which saw the toss go complete, with Kuczynski in the end zone 26 yards away.

WELSH OPENS THROTTLE And finally, but most Important, they capitalized on their speed, particularly that of a kid named Johnny Welsh. This 145-pound capsule made his debut as a Penn wingback, and play--d as if he thought it was Relay Day Mercersburg, where he prepped. "or the Navy he was ants in the hammock. He scored Penn's fourth-period touchdown on a sheer sprint of 76 yards, making victory utterly secure after Navy fought itself out, and three times during the afternoon burst the bubble of Naval scoring by grabbing Middy passes to halt long drives. As a matter of fact, Penn's greatest play In this game was Navy's forwards, six scuttling interceptions "o-taling 152 yards for the Rod and Blue enough to discourage a whole fleet.

VICTORS OUTOAINED Navy actually put out all the effort yesterday, gaining 213 yards rushing to Penn's 119. completing 10 of 26 aerials for 147 more, battering its way five times Inside the scoring circle only to be frustrated by bad judgment, poor forwards. Interceptions, and a Penn line which got tough only when It was imperative. The Penn line, Incidentally, was pretty badly ripped apart, holes appearing repeatedly through which Old Ironsides might have sailed. Navy won in first downs, 17 to 6, whatever glory stems from that.

But Penn's sprightly secondary was on the job, and with Captain Ray Frick and Allen backing up in grand fashion.

From start to finish the Ramblers displayed fighting qualities and rase to great heights with a well-co-ordinated attack to shunt aside their touted foes. It was quite a contrast to their showing in Wednesday's opener which they lost to Springfield, 4-0.

Stan Smith sent them off to a lead in the opening period and they were never headed thereafter, adding another goal in the middle session and two more in the final period.

STATE COLLEGE. Nov. 2. Penn State's undefeated football team turned back South Carolina, 12-0, to record its fifth straight victory of the season before 11,000 today. State's powerhouse line once more was outstanding, holding South Carolina to four first downs, and 75 yards gained.

Sparked by Chuck Peters and Len Krouse, the winners piled up 18 first downs and 285 yards along the ground. Peters intercepted three of the six Gamecock passes, while Craig set up the Nittany Lions' initial touchdown after five and a half minutes of play when he intercepted Al Grygo's pass and ran it 14 yards to the visitors' 9. From there Peters carried the ball across the goal on three plays. Ben Pollock's placement for conversion was blocked.
