Five Top Teams Hold On As Upsets Drill Ranks
By UNITED PRESS
New York, Nov. 9—(UP)—With their teeth still rattling from a bombardment of upsets during the weekend, the five remaining candidates for the national football championship were looking forward today to more wee next Saturday.
A tidal wave of surprises without parallel this season swamped the ranks of the hopeful and, when the ♂
A tidal wave of surprises with ranks of the hopeful and, when the flood had receded, only Army, Notre Dame, Michigan, California, and Clemson were left high and dry.
Of the five only Michigan, a 35 to 0 winner over Navy, can expect easy going again this week when it meets Indiana, one of the weaker Big Nine teams. On the other hand, Notre Dame, which trounced Indiana, 42 to 6, faces what may be its toughest game of the year in Northwestern, the team likely to play in the Rose Bowl.
Army, which breezed over Stanford, 43 to 0, will meet Pennsylvania, the major upset victim of the past weekend when it fell out of the unbeaten ranks at the hands of Penn State, 13 to 0. California, with a 4-0 record in the Pacific Coast conference after slugging U.C.L.A. 28 to 13, takes on Washington State, owner of a 4-2-1 record.
Clemson places its Southern conference hopes on the line when it tries to follow up a 41 to 0 win over Furman by beating Wake Forest. But Wake Forest figures to be tough off its 4-1 record in the conference.
In the Ivy League: pace-making Penn will play Army, while Cornell (3-0) and Dartmouth (3-1) meet in the headline clash, while the Yale-Princeton game will have little bearing on the loop standings.
In the Southeastern conference: Georgia, unbeaten in conference competition after a 20 to 12 win over Florida, will be heavily favored over Auburn, which has lost five, won none in the league. Georgia Tech, bounced from the lead when it was upset by Tennessee, 13 to 6, will attempt to get back on the victory trail against Alabama, which has won only one of five loop games.
Mississippi, which owns a 4-1 record like Georgia Tech's, will meet the same tartar in Tennessee. Tulsa will be out of the league against Baylor.
In the Big Nine: Michigan and Indiana will be the big clash of the day, in Northwestern hopes for prestige in its outside game against Notre Dame. Another leading intra-conference tilt sends Minnesota, with a 3-2 record and still hopeful of sneaking in as the Rose Bowl representative, against Iowa, with a 2-3 record. Also on the bill is the less crucial, but important, Illinois-Ohio State battle.
In the Big Six: Utah, unbeaten in four games in the conference, will be outside for a game with Oregon State. Colorado A. and M. (3-1) will meet Brigham Young (0-2) and Utah State (2-1) faces Denver (0-2) in leading loop games.
In the Big Seven: League-leading Kansas, unbeaten in three conference games, seemingly has little to fear from Kansas State, a five-time loser. Oklahoma, also unbeaten in three loop games, meets Nebraska (2-2), while Missouri, victim of a resounding 41-7 upset at the hands of

Dklahoma, will try a comeback against Colorado.
In the Southwest conference; Southern Methodist sends Doak Walker against Arkansas and figures to stay unbeaten in the loop. While Brylor plays outsider Tulane, the loop's next best was Texas (3-1) against Texas Christian (1-2).
In the Pacific Coast conference: Oregon, unbeaten in five loop games and rivalling California for the Rose Bowl bid, meets U.C.L.A. A side-light is Southern California (2-2) against Washington (1-4).
Joe Louis Gets Shiner In Exhibition Bout
In other leading games, Penn State will meet Temple and Navy seeks its first win against Columbia.

Boston. Nov. 9—(UP)—As a result of their exhibition bout at the Arena, heavyweight champion Joe Louis had a "shiner" today while his rival, Johnny Shkor, had an increased stature as a heavyweight contender.
Beyond any argument, Louis won each of the four rounds of their bout last night. But Shkor put up a stubborn battle that packed more action than Louis' second clash with Joe Walcott.
Time and again the champion stunned the Boston giant with civious left hooks but Shkor continued to retaliate with solid punches, many of which landed. Louis said the hardest punch he received was a solid smash on the jaw, but the one that left the most effect was a left hook that nearly closed Louis' eye.
"That one on the jaw was an awful good punch," said Louis. "He really hits pretty hard."

Rose Bowl Pact Up For Big Nine Renewal Vote
Chicago, Nov. 9—(UP)—The Big Nine probably will vote to renew its pact with the Pacific Coast conference to send a team to the Rose Bowl every year despite several objections to terms of the agreement, a United Press survey indicated today.
Only one member of the conference, Minnesota, was definitely against renewal of the present agreement, but some other officials said they were opposed to New Year's day games on principle.
"Minnesota was against it the first time," athletic director Frank McCormick said, "and we'll be against it the next time.
Several other directors, who declined to be quoted, said they believed games on Jan. 1 extended the football season too long.
The present Rose Bowl five-year contract expires after the Jan. 1, 1951, game, and the fact that two full seasons remains before expiration caused several spokesmen to hesitate to express an opinion on the agreement.
"I don't have any particular feeling about it right now." Michigan's athletic director, Fritz Crisler, said.
Doug Mills, athletic director at Illinois, took a similar position. "I'm open-minded on it at present," he said.
Commissioner Kenneth L. "Tug" Wilson said he "hasn't thought much about renewal."
"It's been a very pleasant and satisfactory relationship so far," he added.
Ted Payseur, Northwestern athletic director, said he believed any expression concerning the fact should come from conference action.
Four schools were definitely in favor of the contract.
"The agreement is a fine arrangement as it is now," athletic director Pooch Harrell of Indiana said. Guy Mackey of Purdue said that it "suits me fine." Athletic director Paul Brechler of Iowa and athletic director and football coach Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin agreed.
Dick Larkins, of Ohio State, who made it clear that he was speaking personally and not as a spokesman of the university, said that "personally I don't believe in any post-season football games.

Wake Forest Is Dixie Bowl Host
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 9—(UP)—Wake Forest, one of the Southern conference's surprise teams of the year,' today was selected to play in the Dixie Bowl here New Year's day.
