UCLA,OSU,Cincinnati To Play Tough Schedule
By UNITED PRESS
There's clear sailing in the offing for three of the nation's six unbeaten and untied major powers but the worst is yet to come for UCLA, Ohio State, and Cincinnati.
Barring upsets that would rival anything the topsy-turvy season already has offered, Oklahoma. Arkansas, and Miami (Fla.) should continue unscathed past teams which have a combined season's record of 36 wins and 30 losses. Only one of the trio's 11 future opponents has escaped with fewer than two losses and two of the teams are under 500 for the year.
Oklahoma, which beat Colorado 13-6, for its sixth straight victory on Saturday meets Iowa State (3-4) next week end and then goes against Missouri (3-3). Nebraska (4-2), and Oklahoma A&M (3-3-1) on successive Saturdays.
Arkansas, still inviolate after a 14-7 triumph over Texas A&M takes on Rice (4-2), SMU (3-2-1) LSU (2-5), and Houston (3-2) while Miami, which butchered Fordham, 75-7, Friday night, meets Auburn (3-3), Alabama (4-2-1) and Florida (4-3). Betting on any of those underdogs would be like risking money on Army's black and blue knights of the Hudson against the Detroit Lions.
There are no such soft pickings in prospects, however, for UCLA, Ohio State, and Cincinnati, whose combined opponents have a season's record of 41 victories and only 13 defeats.
UCLA, 27-8 victor over California Last Saturday, shouldn't have too much trouble next week end with an Oregon team which has lost three of its seven games. But then the Uclans run into a real tough one on Nov. 20 when they take on Southern California (6-1), the Pacific Coast conference's likely
representative in the Rose Bowl.
Ohio State, which downed stubborn Northwestern, 14-7, for victory No. 6, still must hurdle upset-conscious Pittsburgh (3-3) in addition to such Big 10 powers as Purdue and Michigan. Pittsburgh has beaten Navy, Northwestern, and West Virginia in succession while Purdue is 4-1-1 and Michigan 4-2 for the season.
Cincinnati, which slipped past College of Pacific. 13-7, for its seventh straight, goes on to play Arizona State (5-2), Wichita (5-1) and Miami of Ohio (6-0). The Miami record will earn them an invitation to the Gator Bowl on New Year's day.
Saturday's latest wave of upsets included Iowa's 13-7 triumph over seventh-ranked Wisconsin and claimed four of the nation's previously-unbeaten and untied major powers. Boston university bounced Buckee from the honor scroll Kansas City OH at Ohio College, 19-14; Pittsburgh defended West Virginia, 13-10, and William and Mary tied Virginia Tech. 7-7.
Other national powers which had their troubles were Notre Dame, which tripped Navy, 6-0; Army, which shaded Virginia, 21-20, on the margin of an extra point, and Duke, which slipped past Georgia Tech, 21-20. Southern California, the nation's No. 9 team, romped over Oregon State, 34-0, meanwhile, eighth-ranked Purdue beat Illinois, 28-14, Yale defeated Dartmouth, 13-7, and Penn State walloped Pennsylvania, 35-13.
Pro Football Race Tightens As Three Upsets Are Scored
Timely triumphs by the defending champion Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns plus three upset victories by underdogs made the National Football league's division races tight as wet shoes today with 10 of the 12 teams at the halfway marks in their 12-game schedules.

The leaders staggered out of the week end action with the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants still tied for the Eastern lead with 4-2 records. But the Browns, who starred in the NFC divisional vision crown for the fifth straight time, now are 3-2 and only a half-game, behind.
The Lions, seeking a third straight Western division and playoff title, again are tied with the San Francisco Forty-Niners for the Western lead. San Francisco has a 4-1-1 record and Detroit is 4-1. Ties don't count in the NFL.
The Green Bay Packers began the wave of upsets Saturday night. They were 11-point underdogs but thrashed the Eagles, 37-14. The Chicago Cardinals were Sunday's
biggest underdogs—20 points—but edged the Steelers, 17-14.
Several hours later at San Francisco, Harlon Hill snared his fourth touchdown pass of the day with 25 seconds to go and the Chicago Bears—10-point underdogs--handed the Forty-Niners their first 1954 defeat, 31-27.
At Los Angeles, 74.342 fans saw the Lions show how and why they have dominated the league the last two years. The champions made every break count and came from behind twice to edge the Rams. 27-24.
At Cleveland, the Browns recovered a New York fumble early in the good and turned it into the decisive touchdown in their 24-14 victory.
