Columbia Upsets Army; Rutgers Trounces 46-13 ehigh Rossides is Standout Fifth Score in Rutgers Touchdown As Lions Score Biggest Grid Upset of Year By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Oct. 25. (P) A dauntless band of Columbia Lions scored one of the most stunning upsets of gridiron history today when they sent Army'3 eleven tumbling into defeat, 21 to 20, with a spectacular passing attack which scored two touchdowns in the final period and brought gasps from an incredulous crowd of 35,000.

Westfleld 20, Columbia 13. Hound Brook 9 L'nion mi 6 unoeaien in tneir last 32 games and unscored upon previously this year, the Black Knights from West Point found themselves helpless to stem the light blue once Gene Rossides, Columbia's brilliant quarterback, began throwing bulleyes to an equally brilliant receiver, end Bill Swi-acki. Less than seven minutes remained to play when the Lions drove 67 yards down the turf of Baker Field to score their third touchdown and Ventan Yablonski, their fullback, cleaved the posts with a kick for extra point which gave the Cadets their first reverse since Navy turned them back In November, 1943. A desperate attempt by Army to drive to a score in the closing minutes came to nothing when Lou Kusserow of Columbia intercepted a pass by Arnold Galiffa near midfield. When the game ended and the crowd surged onto the field, the Lions were deep in Army territory again and giving the rattled Cadets no surcease.

Rossides, the individual hero of the amazing triumph, gave probably as dazzling exhibition of the passing art as ever was seen on any field. He connected on 18 out of 27 throws and accounted for most of the 263 yards gained by the Lions through the air. The Cadets found it virtually impossible to knock down his long pegs to Swiacki, who made several diving catches that were something to see. In all, Coach Lou Little's team completed 20 of 30 passes, and Swiacki caught eight of them for 138 yards. In the decisive second half the Light Blue completed a phenomenal 13 of 15 aerials while they were putting on their two great scoring drives of 60 and 67 yards.

Columbia's total yardage was 363 to Army's 344. The losers, still badly needing a big league passer to replace Arnold Tucker, picked up only 42 yards through the air on four completions. Irish Trounce Iowa, 21-0 By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN SOUTH BEND, Oct. 25 (IF) Out of a lineup including such worthy gladiators as Czarobski, Swistowicz, Kosikowski and others, rose Irishman Terry Brennan today to punch a pair of touchdowns which gave the uncon-quered fighting Irish of Notre Dame a 21-0 triumph over Iowa. Notre Dame's fourth straight football success, which delighted a sellout throng of 56,000 was registered chiefly along the ground with pitching Johnny Lujack taking the back seat.

The Irish broke loose the 21-year-old Brennan and Emil "Red" Sitko on scatback scampers which aided greatly in piling up a total of 223 yards by rushing while outmanned Iowa was tearing off 120. Alfonso Di Marco, Iowa's fine little passer, was continually rushed by the Irish forwards and when he did have a quiet spell his rifle shots twice bounced out of the arms of receiver Hal Shoener, who. with Herb, make up the Hawkeyes' set of twins at end positions. It remained for the great Negro halfback Emlen Tunnell to provide most of Iowa's zip. He raced 65 yards with Dick Wood-ard helping clear the way in the third period before Lujack and Brennan forced him out of bounds on the Irish 10.

Then he passed to Hal Shoener in the end zone, only to have the touchdown nullified by an Iowa offside. Notre Dame was leading 14-0 at that time, and the infraction undoubtedly hurt, for the Hawkeyes were stopped cold on the 2 trying to make it up. Frank Tripucka. Lujack's understudy who accounted for most of the Irish's 89 aerial yards, hit end Bill Wightkin for 47 yards in the fourth quarter but Bob Livingstone fumbled away the ball. Then a few plays later Tripucka again speared Wightkin for a 25-yard touchdown which was cancelled by a backfield in motion penalty.

Bill Walsh captured Bob Smith's fumble on the Iowa 30 to set up Notre Dame's first period score. Lujack passed nine yards to Jim Martin. Brennan ripped 13 then rashed over. Fred Earley, place-kicking specialist, booted the first of his three extra points. Sitko peeled off 10 and 15 yards at a crack and Brennan capped a 45-yard push by slashing over from the 12 for his second marker in the opening 30 seconds of the second period.

Iowa then drove back 58 yards to the Irish 19 as Di Marco put on his best passing performance, but the thrust ended when Lancaster Smith filched his toss on the 7. Rutgers Harriers Outrun Lehigh The Rutgers University varsity and freshmen cro ss-country teams defeated the Lehigh hill and dalers yesterday at Buc-cleuch Park. The Scarlet varsity won 19-36 while the Frosh scored Jim Essig of Rutgers won the varsity race in 28:51 and he was followed across the finish line by teammates Milt Oman and Stew Ray. Stone and Bowley of the Engineers finished fourth and fifth respectively, trailed by Mott and Brown, both of Rutgers. Dartmouth Nips Harvard CAMBRIDGE, Oct.

25 VP) Adroitly avoiding most of the defensive pitfalls, Dartmouth's hard-driving young Indians raced into an early lead and then fought back Harvard's furious second-half surgings for a 14-13 triumph in the 51st football clash waged by those "Ivy League" rivals today before a 35,000 crowd at the stadium. Late in the opening period the youthful invaders from the Hanover, N. reservation stunned their heavily favored Crimson rivals by marching 62 yards for their first touchdown, made by Hal Fitkin from five yards out. Midway through the second quarter, Sullivan started his Indians on a 57-yard march by awmguig iu narvaras oo on a quarterback sneak. Big Herb Carey kept his forces on the move with his line-smashing and after Sullivan moved the big green to Harvard's 10 by passing to swing replacement Bill Spoor, that fullback banged over two stripes for Dartmouth's second touchdown, after which he made a second successful conversion.

Early in the third quarter, Kal Moffie, one of the five Harvard left halfbacks In the thrill-packed action, electrified his teammates by returning one of Captain Jug Hannigan's booming punts 28 yards to Dartmouth's Harvard then completed the third of its four aerials, Jim Noonan to Ken O'Donnell, for a first down or Dartmouth 17 and, after Chip Gannon went to the 10, Moffie rushed twice before scoring from the five. Buck Harrison, the Crimson's place-kicking specialist, came out to convert, but he was smeared by the hard-charging Dale Armstrong and Dick Gowen, and the point they saved gave the Indians' their first over the widely favored Crim son. But that disheartpninc aroused Harvard to efforts and iust as th finals opened Chip Gannon took off from midfield and lateraled to Winger Georee Hill whpn he. ran into a group of defenders on the Hill was dragged rfnwn nn five, from where Gall Harvard's second touchdown. Guardsman Emil Drvaric then took over the extra point assignment and made good much too late for Harvard's cause.

Yale Wallops Springfield NEW HAVEN, Oct. 25 VP) Little Springfield College, game but out of its league, provided Yale's entire squad with an hours scrimmage today as the Blue romped to a 49 to 0 victory in the spacious Yale bowl before 15,000 fans, the smallest crowd of the current campaign. Except for a few moments Yale was in charge and gave the impression it could score as it pleased. As it turned out. the Blue settled for at least one tally in every period for total of seven touchdowns, three of them by Art Fitzgerald.

For Springfield il was just a sad afternoon, hardly worth the 28 years that it waited for today's crack at Yale. The last time, back in 1919, the Elis won, 20 to 0. The Blue went into the air for most of its gains, which included three long distance interceptions by Ferd Nadherny. Tex Turse, Yale's field general 'was sharp this afternoon, and used his pitching arm to advantage, clicking on 11 of his 13 tosses for 217 yards. Holy Cross Druhs Syracuse, 26 to 0 SYRACUSE.

N. Oct. 25 (JP he Holy Cross Crusaders shoved over four touchdowns against Syracuse today for a 26-0 triumph before 20,000 fans. Two of the Crusader touchdowns came on pass plays, but for the most part Holy Cross was conieni to run rougnsnod over the Syracuse line. vaiue up wun mree xouendowns In v.

Le high added its touch in this quar ter by scorine on an Grimsley shared scoring honors with two touchdnurns sntou wu Hatchett took two touchdown passes from Frank Burns, whose passing was little short of perfect, while Grimsley scored on 27 and four yard runs. Others to hit pay-dirt for the Scarlet were Johnny Sabo, Dick Cramer and, of course. Bob Ochs.

Burns' masterful aerial control of the pigskin was outstanding all the time he was in the game. The talented quarterback completed six out of eight and one that went incomplete was right where it should be. Lehigh never had a chance against the superior Scarlet but still continued to fight and managed to make two of its tricky plays go for touchdowns. The final score was a little less one-sided than last year's (that was 55-6) but not very much. That Rutgers, which notched its fourth straight yesterday, was the better team was evident in the first few minutes of play.

Lehigh received the kickoff, was stopped cold and called in its ace punter, Forrest Bast, to kick. The kick Was not UD to Bast's inn fnrm however, and was downed on the engineers- vz.

Winkelried, who ran very well, made another first down on the 14, Hering made it to the 11, and Burns hit Hatchett on the goal line.

Bucky stepped across with the first score with just five minutes of the period gone. Hering's placement was wide. Lehigh made a first down the second time it got its hands on the ball. However, the Scarlet defense was too much and Rutgers acquired the ball on an out of bounds kick on its 29. Rutgers marched to the Lehigh 45 but was stopped there.

During this march, Burns threw a 42-yard pass to Hatchett but it went through the latter's hands as he was trying to make a difficult catch with a Lehigh defender on his back.

Burns passed again, this time to Hering who gathered it in on the Lehigh 45 and ran to the 23 before being knocked down. A running play lost two yards so the strong right arm of Burns pumped again. This time the aerial went to Hatchett to gain a first down on the eight.

25 OP) Pennsylvania's ponderous football machine rolled up impressive hunks of yardage and a 21 to 0 victory over the Navy today, but it wasn't until the final quarter that the Quakers moved fast enough to make their fourth straight triumph a certainty. A capacity crowd of 781,205, packing Penn's big double-decked Franklin Field stadium, saw the home team take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and hold grimly onto it through an unimpressive display of old-fashioned bone-crushing football until the weary Midshipmen crumbled in the last period. Tony Minisi, a one-time Midshipman, led Penn to victory just as he did a year ago, gaining 58 yards on running plays and 67 on passes and in general sparking the Penn attack. After Navy's Art Markel ended a 62-yard Penn drive with an interception in the first quarter, the Quakers came back again to go all the way in the same frame. Minisi's passes set up the parade although Bill Luongo crashed through the line for the final 12 yards.

Ed Lawless then kicked the first of his three conversions. Penn's second scoring drive started just before the end of the third quarter and ended with Ray Dooney slamming through the middle of the Navy line and bouncing off his own piled-up interference at 2.03 of the last period. The march went 55 yards with Dooney's 14 yard run and a 13 yard Minisi-Lawless lass paving the way. Bob Evans pitched Penn to its last touchdown. He completed five in a row.

A capacity crowd of 22,000 watched the Nittany Lions roar back to tie the score in a hard fought first half and then push over one touchdown in the third period that was good enough for victory over the previously unbeaten Mountaineers from West Virginia.

A crowd of 42,000 homecoming fans was on hand. OREGON'S LEICHT ELUSIVE ENGENE, Ore.

Oregon's Jack Leicht is one of the more elusive runners in the Parifio rnatt con ference. PRINCETON, N. Oct. 25 (JP) Cornell's big Red football team spotted Princeton two touchdowns in the early moments today and then rose to a 28-21 triumph over the bewildered Tigers on the throwing arm of Lynn Dorset, a 22-year-old third string quarterback. A top-coated crowd of 34,000 which turned up in Palmer Stadium for the 31st renewal of this Ivy League rivalry sat enthralled as Dorset brought the Ithacans from behind by completing all ten of the passes he threw, three of them for touchdowns.

Paul Cowie, a pint sized Princeton scatback, sprinted 40 yards in the final period for his second touchdown of the day and sparked a 57-yard Tiger drive toward what might have pro duced the tying points if- time hadn't run out with the home club still 33 yards away. The game was less than five finutes old when John Powers scored the first Tiger touchdown by diving the last yard of a 34-yard march, set up when Bill Koch recovered Winifred Wright's fumble on the second play after the kickoff. The Tigers followed with a 73-yard drive late in the period which wound up early in the second quarter with Cowie dashing around right end for the last two yards. Ken Keuffel booted the second of his three conversions and it looked as if the Tigers were going to have a runaway. But young Mr.

Dorset, obviously tired of warming the bench, had other ideas. The 165-pound sophomore from Miami, took charge after End Harry Cassel naa Drougnt a kickoff back to the Cornell 36. Dorset tossed 13 yards to Joe Di Stasio, followed with another heave of 15 yards to Cassel and then connected with Bernie Ba- Pitt Upsets Ohio State PITTSBURGH. Oct. 25 The Pitt Panthers, thumped by four rivals this season, burst the shackles of defeat today and gave old grads in a crowd of 55,217 a flashback to past football glories by upsetting favored Ohio State, 12-0, in a stirring climax to homecoming festivities.

The well-earned victory not only broke a string of losses this year but also ended a record of "big nine" supremacy over the Panthers which had extended nine years through 24 games. It was fitting that Pitt chose the team which started the big nine string in 1940 to repay some of the indignities suffered by the Panthers on the gridiron. Pitt last won over a big nine foe in 1938. Ohio State, owning a mediocre record of one victory, a tie and two defeats before today, literally let the game slip through it's fingers. Fumbles ended one serious scoring threat and put the Buckeyes constantly in the hole through the first half until Pitt negotiated its first an winnintt touchdown..
