It is amazing what one year's occupancy of the Ivy League throne can do for the course in football. Consider the Quakers of Old Penn, who were supposed to step down gracefully this fall after their bicentennial splurge of 1940, but who today continued to shower the Big Three with touchdowns, adding Yale to crumpled Harvard in the Blue's own, hallowed bowl. By the decisive score of 28 to 13, four emphatic touchdowns which left no doubt of their Associated Press Sports Editor STANFORD'S Indians, Rose Bowl champions and heavy favorites to snare their second successive Pacific Coast Conference crown, came to the end of football's undefeated trail yesterday along with Tulane's mighty Green Wave and a host of other major powers in a series of spectacular upsets all along the way. Stanford fell before Oregon State's hardy eleven in a tight battle at Corvallis, 10-0, breaking the Indians' winning streak of 12 successive victories nine during the regular season a year ago, a Rose Bowl conquest of Nebraska, and triumphs in their first two engagements this season. Oregon State fairly earned its victory, gained by a first period field goal by Warren Simas and a third period touchdown by Bob Deth-man.

Tulane, hailed as the Soat heastern Conferences greatest power after its victories over Boston College and Auburn, came a cropper at Houston at the hands of Rice's Owls, 10-9, in a sensational duel. Bob Brumley scored all of Rice's points in this major upset. These were the main victims of the day but the list of schools suffering their first defeats was a long one Colgate, Princeton, Holy Cross, Yale, Illinois, Marquette, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, to mention a few. There was no stopping such powerful arrays, however, as Minnesota, Navy, Fordham, Penn, Duke, Michigan. Texas, Northwestern and Notre Dame.

Minnesota, paced by Bill Daley and Bruce Smith, hammered Illinois into submission, 34-6, while Michigan's Wolverines, again led by Sophomore Tom trounced Pitt, 40-0.

Steve Juzwik and Angelo Bertelli led Notre Dame to a 20-0 triumph over Georgia Tech's Engineers at Atlanta. Texas Longhorns, touted as almost certain winners of the Southwest Conference a brushed Oklahoma aside without trouble, 40-7, with Jack Crain scoring twice. This set the pace for a sensational day for the Southwest Conference as a whole, for Rice whipped Tulane, Texas A.

Fordham had to come from behind to halt North Carolina, 27-14. with Steve Filipowicz the mainspring of the Rams' attack. Fullback Bert Stiff paced Penn's Quakers to a 28-13 conquest of Yale whose second half rally made the score respectable but left no doubt as to which was the superior team. Navy used reserves mainly in routing Lafayette, 41-2. Villanova, in a night game, defeated Florida, 6-0, at Gainesville.

A kick blocked late in the fourth quarter cost Holy Cross its unbeaten record as Syracuse won out, 6-0, but Colgate was soundly outplayed in the late stages by Dartmouth's surprisingly strong Indians, 18-6.

N. Oct. 11. Columbia's lightweight but lion-hearted fotoball team crushed Princeton, 21 to 0. before 25,000 today for its first victory of all time in Palmer Stadium.

It was a thrashing totally unexpected in its execution, for the light blue, never able to get it.s vaunted aerial attack into operation, won by out-tricking and out-charging the Tigers, 20 pounds heavier per man. Columbia had victory wrapped, sealed and well on the road to delivery before the first half was over. In those first 30 minutes of play, Paul Governali, limber-hipped junior tailback of multiple talents, twice slashed through the outmaneuvered and befuddled Tigers for touchdowns, and Phil Bayer, senior right halfback racked up a third. GOVERNALI STAR Governali, born and reared only a few miles from Columbia's Morning-side Heights campus, literally tied the Tigers in knots as he performed the lightning spin runs and spin bucks concocted by Dr. Lou Little, Columbia coach.

Columbia traveled 80, 73 and 70 yards for its three touchdowns, and Governali gained 51, 48 and 58 yards. respectively, in the three sustained sweeps.

A Dartmouth team that gained in strength as the game wore on toppled Colgate from the ranks of the undefeated today, 18 to 6, in the first clash between the teams in 23 years. For three bruising periods, the Dartmouth guards guarded, the tackles tackled and the blockers blocked as few Tuss McLaughry teams have done in the past, but they still couldn't shake off a dogged Colgate team that got the Jump as a result of some fierce tackling. WOLFE DROPS BALL This lone Colgate score came six" minutes after the second period opened when Tackle Hank Zittel nailed Ray Wolle, receiving a punt on the Dartmouth 5-yard line, with such force that that Dartmouth star, who was easily the outstanding ball carrier on the field today, dropped the ball and Hans Guenther flopped on it to send Colgate ahead, 6-0. It didn't take Dartmouth seven minutes to score the equalizer on plain power. Tom DotiKlas, one of three Dartmouth subs to score touchdowns, cut loose for a 35-yard jaunt to the Colgate 25 soon after the kickoff and Joe Arico went off tackle smashes for the score.
