Last week LSU blasted Texas Tech from the nation's undefeated ranks to gain its first victory of the season. LSU scored once in the first and twice in the third on two-yard bucks by Vince Gonzales, Doggett and Dickie Prescott.

23. UF) The UCLA juggernaut rolled to its sixth con secutive football victory to- day, trampling Oregon State 61-0. It was the worst defeat on record for the Staters, who were completely unable to cope with the West Coast's top team, ranked wo. 3 in the nation. For the winners, who ran over nine touchdowns, it was the second consecutive walloping of a Coast Conference opponent.

Stanford was the victim last week, 72-0. Coach Red Sanders seized the occasion to polish up his reserves, Dut tney appeared to need little practice. The whole traveling squad of 33 players had been in the game by halftone, and the reserves accounted for seven of the The most sensational was half back Sam Brown's 62-yard run- back of a punt in which only one player got a hand on him.

UP Nebraska's Cornhuskers broke out of a 6-6 tie in the second half on two touchdown runs by halfback Willie Greenlaw to spill Colorado's Buffaloes from the ranks of the nation's un beaten college football teams to day, 20-6. The first Nebraska victory over Colorado here since the Buffaloes joined the Big Seven in 1943 smeared the Orange Bowl hopes of the Buffs, who had won five straight this season.

He sealed the triumph with an 11 yard sprint around left end after Carroll Hardy, Colorado's touted halfback star, fumbled and Nebraska end Jack Braley recovered on the Colorado 11.

UP The University of Cincinnati today humiliated Xavier Univer sity in an intra-city football tus sle not so much by the 33-0 score but by keeping the Musketeers, from making a first down.

Capt. Gordie Malloy, Whitey Raiders Cop 6-0 Triumph A scoring buck from one yard out by Junior Halfback Paul McDonough early in the second quarter gave the Central Catholic Raiders a 6-0 win over Hialeah's Pioneers last night and also tagged Bo Litzinger's team as the comity's "winningest eleven." It was the third win in live i games for the. Raider crew! which showed the crowd of more than 1,500 fans at Strana-han Field little of the power which rolled over St. Pat's and Moore Haven by scores of 25-0 and 45-7, respectively. McDonough's crash over tackle climaxed 60-yard drive by Central Catholic, the lone offensive fireworks the local team showed all night.

A 23-yard run by Capt. Bill Keith and a 15-yard jaunt by Jack Fittin spearheaded the drive to pavdirt. Hialeah, a school which can draw from only its freshmen and sophomore classes for foot ball talent, was "up" for the game that they were supposed to lose by five or six touchdowns. In the second half the pioneers continuously held the Raiders to paltry gains and only in the final minute of play were tney able to penetrate as deep as the visitor's 14 yard line. Central Catholic lost the ball there on downs when George La- Cerra's eight-yard sweep fell inches short of a first down.

COACH DISSATISFIED Hialeah took over with 20 seconds to go and could do noth lng, as two desperation passes feH short of their mark. Four fumbles by the Raiders and five penalties against the Pioneers combined to keep the second half scoreless. "Overconfidence was our biggest foe." Iitzinger commented after the game. "My boys ex pected to win by 30 points and were sloppy on both offense and defense. I'm far from satisfied by our showing and it's a cer tainty that we're going to have a lot of work to do before we are fit to take the field against South Dade next week.

On the other side of the nation, it is interesting to point out that the Uclans have racked up 133 points in their last two games; Oregon State joining Stanford in the ranks of the embarrassed yesterday.

Furthermore, neither Oregon State nor Stanford was able to produce a touchdown, not even a safety. The Uclans had to take advantage of two breaks to sink Maryland, 12-7.

Mississippi tried to get back in the game, only to lose the ball on fumbles twice to the Razor-backs as time ran out. Steelers Tie For Division Top With 17-7 Win PITTSBURGH, Oct. 23.

All South Florida is anxious to see just where their Hurricanes are going in the national rankings. With Wave Of Upsets, Miami Could Advance Theoretically, the 'Canes could dent the top ten, but that perhaps is wishful thinking. Three of the top 10 teams were toppled: Mississippi No. 51 losing to Arkansas, 0-6, and Minnesota No. 81, losing to Michigan, 0-34.

The 11th and 12th ranked teams, too. were upset victims. Nebraska dealt Colorado No. 101 a 20-6 blow, and Mississippi State pasted Alabama No. ,111, 12-7 Those two results have important bearing on South Florida's future.

The Colorado loss dimmed the hopes of the Buffaloes coming to Miami as the Big Seven representative in the Orange BowL They were unbeaten in five games before the 1 College Football Scores Cornhuskers arrived. The Alabama loss brightens the heart of Hurricane fans as Miami meets the Crimson Tide in its last home appearance, Nov. 19.
