Penn's Record Threatened By Penn State
New York, Nov. 1—(UP)—The collegiate football season rambled into the month of November today and the chances were getting slimmer that any harm would come to the nine major unbeaten and untied teams before time runs out.
Only one of the nine teams, Pennsylvania, had much to fear from games coming up this Saturday.
Penn, though favored to win, had plenty to worry about in its battle with rival Penn State, last year's Cotton Bowl team which is also unbeaten, although tied once by Michigan State. Both teams proved themselves in peak form last Saturday as Penn blasted little Washington and Lee, 40 to 7, while Penn State drubbed College, 32 to 13.
A minimum of difficulty was in prospect for the other national leaders. Michigan, going up against Navy, has a chance to try to run up a larger score than the 41 to 7 licking handed the Middies last week by Notre Dame. The Wolverines looked dull last Saturday, beating Illinois, 28 to 20, but apparently be a lot duller and still take less Navy.
Notre Dame, seemingly still under wraps, will meet Indiana, one of the Big Nine's weaker teams. Army, a 49 to 7 winner over Virginia Tech, will meet Stanford, not a tough prospect despite a 20 to 0 win over Washington. Army meets Penn on Nov. 13. Nevada, which posted a basketball-like City to 79 to 13 win over Oklahoma City, will meet sterner stuff in Santa Clara, 25 to 13 winner of the University of San Francisco.
The Golden Bears of California, favorite to represent the west in the Rose Bowl, squeezed by Southern California, 13 to 7 and this week akes on U.C.L.A., 27 to 15 victor over Nebraska.
Outside of the Penn-Penn State battle, the best chance of an upset appeared to be in Georgia Tech's clash with Tennessee.
In leading conference games this week: in the Southeastern conference, Georgia, like Georgia Tech umbeaten in conference play, will be a heavy favorite over Florida.
In the Big Seven, Missouri and Oklahoma, both unbeaten in the conference, battle each other at Norman.
In the southern conference, the features are North Carolina—William and Mary, Clemson—Furman, lus Duke vs. Wake Forest.
Cenn and Cornell, both beaten by league play, will be out of the conference this week, making Dartmouth-COLUMBIA the leading game.

McDONALD
The Lawrence football team won the conference championship in his junior and senior years. They were ranked first in the state his junior year and second his senior year. McDonald was all-conference football and basketball captain and football all-state quarterback and captain his senior year. He led conference scoring in basketball.
This is McDonald's third year of play for the Jayhawkers. Both his passing and running have made him
dangerous on the offensive. His ability to catch passes was shown in the George Washington and the Nebraska game. In both games he crossed the goal line after receiving a pass. McDonald says he regrets the touchdown pass in the George Washington game which Frank Patee, left halfback, tossed to him because Frank's jaw was fractured on the play. Good blocking is the reason he gives for his success in scoring in the Nebraska game.
McDonald said he chose to come to K.U. because he knew it was a good school and because Lawrence is his home. Although born in Kansas City, Mo., he came to Lawrence when he was one year old.
The 23-year-old business junior spent two years in the Army Air Force. Not a heavyweight, but rugged, he is 6 feet tall and weighs 176 pounds.
A shoulder dislocation two weeks before the TCU game has bothered him some this season.
