Oct. 18. Penn State ground out a hard-earned 10-0 triumph over previously-undefeated Nebraska before a capacity Alumni Homecoming crowd of 30,000 today.

It was a bruising defensive battle from start to finish as Coach Rip Engle's forces came on after a scoreless first half to preserve their clean slate. Only a tie with Purdue mars State's record, which now shows four victories. Despite the scoring edge and closer opportunities for touchdowns, the Lions failed to run up a statistical edge over the Cornhuskers. First downs were even at 12 and 12, the winners gained 129 yards on the ground and 102 in the air and Ne Middlebury 26 Tufts 20 Montclair 14 New Britain 0 Montgomery J. C.

Defeats the banquet. As 20,000 onlookers cheered, groaned or merely wondered, Penn beat Columbia into submission with two last-period touchdowns, 27-17. The Quakers thereby (a) posted their third successive victory since the 7-7 opener with Notre Dame, and (b) recorded their 13th consecutive triumph In an Ivy League series that began with a scoreless stale mate in 1878. PRICE CRACKS TWO RECORDS Penn now holds a 29-5 bulge in the rivalry which came to at least a temporary end with today's game but to win this one required unremitting effort. The Quakers led at 7-0 and again at 14-7, but each time the Lions clawed back to deadlock the count and at the three-quarter mark they were ahead, 17-14.

Lou Little, the old Penn tackle, had the Columbians whipped into frenzied inspiration, and the man under the center in his variations of the tight-T, split-T and wing-T, 20-year-old Mitchell Price, wiped two great names from Morningside Heights passing records. TWO TOUCHDOWN PASSES His 15 completions in 33 attempts brought his Columbia total to 193 bull's-eyes, 13 more than the great Sid Luckman compiled in 1936-37 38. And the 186 yards he amassed in the air increased his aggregate to 2619, or 106 more than Paul Gover nali accounted for in 1940-41-42. Price pitched both Light Blue touchdowns one a 12-yard shot to Dale Hopp on the 10th maneuver of a 67-yard drive at 12:06 of the second quarter, the other a 19-yard throw at 6:07 of the third period to the other end, Al Ward, after two successive fumbles had put Columbia in possession on the Penn 24. The adroit quarterback's right arm also sprang Columbia on a march that began on its 21 and ended on Penn's 18 when Ward place-kicked a field goal at 12:35 of the third canto.

PASSES PRODUCE 3 SCORES But, in the end, Penn proved that two pitchers can be better than one. Coach George Munger's two tailbacks from Mt. Carmel, sophomore Walt Hynoski and senior Bones Adams, hurled three Red and Blue touchdowns, and helped set up the other. Hynoski, an 18-year-old substitute, rifled two straight scoring passes. One was a 16-yard cross-fire to quarterback Ed Binkoski on the 12th play of an 89-yard advance that began with sophomore George Trautman's interception of a Price aerial.

The other came on a 60-yard contact with the brilliant Eddie BeU just one minute and three seconds after Columbia had knotted the count at 7-all. Adams found wingback Billy Deuber at the northwest corner of the field for the final six-pointer. which came at 13:44 of the final quarter after an interception by Continued on Page 8, Column 1 California Ragged, But Beats Santa Clara BERKELEY.

Giving probably their most umm pressive performance of the season, the California team scored two touchdowns in the first quarter.

The brigade of Midshipmen, SUNDAY Nofre Dame Upsets Purdue LAFAYETTE, Oct. 18 (UP). Notre Dame upset unbeaten Purdue, 26-14, today in a battle of but ter-fingered backs and hard-hitting linemen in which 21 fumbles occurred before 49,000 fans. Alertness paid off for Notre Dame with linemen Jack Lee and Joe Bush and linebackers Dan Shannon, Dave Flood and Jack Whelan the standouts. Bush, an offensive tackle, was credited with the first Irish score, when he fell on a fumble by teammate Joe Heap behind the Purdue goal.

IRISH RECOVER EIGHT Eight of Purdue's 11 fumbles end ed up in Notre Dame's possession and two of the Irish tallies resulted from these breaks. Purdue, on the other hand, could pick off only three of the 10 Notre Dame errors and couldn't score after any one of these breaks. Purdue waa ineffective on the ground and during the first half made only 28 yards rushing. The only Boilermaker touchdown during that 30 minutes came when Dale Samuels passed to Bernie Flowers for 28. In that same period, the Irish had collected three TDs, the first the prize of Bush after Rex Brock had fumbled the opening kickoff and Lee recovered on the Boilermaker 23 The second came by Neil Worden on a one-yard plunge which finished a 69-yard drive.

Temple University's initial invasion of Indiana ended in a complete rout today as the twice-beaten Hoosiers romped to a 33-0 triumph before 28.000 fans, 12,000 of whom were members of high school bands and their friends. It was Temple's fourth defeat in five games.

They bowed to Penn State, 20-13, and, after defeating Albright, 21-0, were beaten by Syracuse, 27-0, and Bucknell, 19-12.

Pitt's Golden Panthers took a giant stride back up the gridiron glory road today when they clawed a gallant but out-gunned Army team, 22-14, before 18,850 at Michie Sta dium. Led by a pair of battering backs, Paul Chess and Bill Reynolds, Pitt looked like one of those old juggernaut teams out of its storied football past as the conquerors of Notre Dame rolled up all their points in the first three periods and then defied the crashing Cadets to catch them. ROARS 80 YARDS TO SCORE Chess blasted over for Pitt's first two touchdowns, Reynolds rocketed over for the other, a smashing Pitt line added a safety and Paul Blanda contributed two extra points. Then, in a wild late comeback, the battling Cadets on a comeback of their own as a result of last year's crushing scandal sent Mario De Lucia to a pair of touchdowns which saved their pride. Rolling to its third triumph in four starts, Pitt roared 80 yards to pay dirt the first time it got its hands on the ball.

Lashing line plunges of Reynolds and Chess and passes of quarterback Rudy Mattioli swiftly swept Pitt to the Army 14 and Chess circled end for the score. REYNOLDS GOES OVER It was the same script in the second period as the pile-driving Panthers pounded 67 yards to score. And again it was Chess, this time splitting tackle from the eight for the touch down. Bruising minutes later, Blanda took Continued on Page 2, Column 3 braska notched 210 yards rushing and only 45 from aerials.

Offensively, it was Tony Rado's pasisng for State and the dangerous running of Nebraska's Johnny Bordogna that thrilled the colorful crowd. It wasn't until 13 and a half minutes had passed in the third quarter that Penn State was able to score what proved to be the winning touchdown. Don Bailey carried a punt back to midfield and the Lions covered the remaining 50 yards in 10 plays, a three-yard aerial from Rados to Big Jesse Arnelle in the end zone marking the tally. Bill Leonard, a State College boy, place-kicked the extra points, his 14th success in 16 attempts this year. Leonard came back early in the fourth period to assure victory when he booted a field goal from the 16-yard line, off to the left of the goal- Continued on Page 2, Column 5 Princeton Beats Lafayette, 48-0 Special to The Inquirer PRINCETON, N.

J-, Oct. 18. Princeton resumed its winning ways at Palmer Stadium today, coasting to an easy 48-0 victory over Lafayette, which has now lost four straight games. The Tigers rebounded viciously after their streak-breaking loss to Penn last Saturday. They rolled up 20 first downs to 4, and while the first string was playing in the first half, held Lafayette to minus 8 yards rushing.

He tallied on runs of 46 and 2 yards, both in the first half, as Princeton ran up a 34-0 lead at the intermission.

Vanderbilt and Florida tried their best to fumble away a football game in the opening quarter today, before Vandy picked up the pieces for a thrilling 20-13 decision. Freshman quarterback Bill Kri-etemeyer's passing and senior halfback Dick Foster's running featured a Commodore offense that piled up a 20-0 lead. Then, Rick Casares and Reed Quinn took over the game to lead the Gators to a pair of fast touchdowns and almost to a third one which die out on the Vanderbilt three-yard line in the last 35 seconds.

The first came at the end of a 65-yard march with Molloy carrying over on a one-yard sneak.

The second resulted from a Cornell fum ble a few moments later with Jim Armstrong scorng from the four. The game was nationally televised and was played in ideal wreather before a crowd of 31,000. YALE'S FOURTH VICTORY It was Yale's fourth victory of the season against a single loss and was Cornell's fourth straight defeat. Molloy's passes kept Cornell in almost constant trouble in a game that was marked by frequent fumbles and interceptions. The best target for the Yale quarterback was the big end, Ed Woodsum.

Cornell lost a golden scoring oppor tunity at the very outset of the game and was never able seriously to chal lenge afterwards. CorneU's big chance came when Rodney Kirk intercepted one of Molloy's passes and the Itha-cans drove down to Yale's four. An attempted field goal failed.

Meanwhile, their pugnacious defense manhandled the Mid dies with a fury that left no doubt of the outcome. It was not until the last two -minutes of the first half that Navy made a first down, moving up to its 43. SCARBATH PASSES SCORE Maryland's swift-striking offense was directed by Ail-American candidate Jack Scarbath, whose trickery and play-calling had the defense off balance all the way until he departed with the tally 31-0 midway in the third quarter. Although he employed the air arm frequently, completing seven of 15 heaves for 136 yards, Scarbath hurled the first two touchdowns to start the rout rolling. The opener was a shot to right half Ralph Felton, who got behind the secondary out on the right, took it on the 38 and romped across to complete a 47-yard TD and a 76-yard offensive.

The next was almost a carbon copy to left half Chet Hanu-lak, who pulled it in on the 12 for a 19-yard score and the climax of a 52-yard assault.

Other members of the team took a severe beat ing, mentally and physically.

Lethargic and completely befuddled in the entire game by a simple Indiana offense, the Cherry and White were trapped by wide end sweeps, ripped to shreds by line plunges and then anchored to the ground as the Hoosiers passed over their heads.

They raised this to 26-0 in the third period and added another seven points in the final session.
