Football

While the University of Chicago, purified of intercollegiate football, played six-man football before a handful of co-eds last week, its former associates in the Big Ten (now Big Nine) carried on eleven-man war. Ohio State, defending champion, played Northwestern in what turned out to be the game of the week. Northwestern, despite its 40-to-0 victory over Syracuse the week before, was the underdog. But the underdog showed its fangs, intercepted one of mighty Don Scott's magnificent passes to score a touchdown, win the game, 6-to-3.

Hero of the day was Halfback Bill De Correvont, an overpublicized Chicago kid who entered Northwestern two years ago handicapped by a terrific high-school football reputation. Last week, at last, Junior De Correvont looked like the super-footballer he was supposed to be. He carried the ball 22 times for a total gain of 80 yards, climaxed his afternoon's work by toting the ball over the goal line.

Meanwhile, at Cambridge, Michigan's Tom Harmon, almost singlehanded, trounced Harvard, 26-to-0 (three touchdowns, two conversions, one pass that resulted in a touchdown). In the three games he has played this season, Harmon has tallied 69 points.

> At Los Angeles, with the temperature at 90DEG, Texas Agricultural & Mechanical College, rated No. 1 in last year's Associated Press poll, registered its 14th victory in a row, over the University of California at Los Angeles.

> At Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania celebrated its 200th anniversary by crushing Yale, 50-to-7, the worst defeat in Yale's 68 years of football.

> At West Point, Cornell, with nothing but Columbus Day to celebrate, routed Army, 45-to-0, its worst defeat in 50 years of football.
