Football

Big-time college football teams are divided into two groups: those who are candidates for the post-season "gravy bowls," those who are not. Last week, while Stanford, Texas A. & M., Tennessee, Boston College and other anxious candidates prepared for their last and most important games of the season, the Ivy Leaguers and the Big Ten--frowning on more than eight games a season--rang down the curtain on the 71st year of U. S. football:

> At Columbus, Ohio, 73,000 rain-soaked fans witnessed a game long to be remembered. Michigan's hula-hipped Tom Harmon, foremost footballer of the year, ended his spectacular varsity career by scoring 22 of the 40 points that whitewashed Ohio State, 40-to-0. In 24 varsity games, Harmon has scored 33 touchdowns, kicked 33 points after touchdown, kicked two field goals for a total of 237 points--best scoring record in Big Ten history. Famed Red Grange, in 20 games, tallied 31 touchdowns.

> At Madison, Wis., Minnesota's Golden Gophers (only team to beat Harmon & Co. this year) completed an undefeated, untied season with a 22-to-13 victory over their old rival, Wisconsin. In addition to the well-deserved championship of the Big Ten, Minnesota will probably be awarded the mythical national championship of the U. S.

> At New Haven, Conn., 47,000 faithful followers turned out to watch Harvard wallop Yale's sad team 28-to-0, the same day that Princeton won 26-to-19 from Army.

> At Philadelphia, in a fabulous seesawing game, Pennsylvania, sparked by flashy Frank Reagan, came from behind to hand Cornell's terrific Big Red its second defeat of the season, 22-to-20.
