...Southern California's powerful Trojans: a 14-0 victory over Washington's stubborn, undefeated (but twice tied) Huskies that gave No. 3-ranked U.S.C. the inside track to the Rose Bowl. In another battle of unbeatens, Missouri shackled Nebraska's high-scoring (30 points per game until last week) offense and won easily, 16-7. In the Big Ten, where any team can win-or lose-on any given Saturday, the underdogs got sweet revenge: Illinois upset Purdue, 14-10; Iowa trounced Ohio State, 28-14; Minnesota beat Michigan State, 28-7; and No. 1-ranked Northwestern...
Dartmouth's scalping raid takes place in the Yale Bowl this week. The Yalies, who could only manage a tie against Colgate, may be able to put up some limited resistance, but it is apt to be only token...

U.C.L.A. (2-0): Most football experts gave U.C.L.A. little chance of returning to the Rose Bowl next January. The Bruins' murderous schedule pitted them against top-ranked Ohio State in their opening game, and Coach Billy Barnes, knuckling under to alumni pressure, was replacing his familiar single-wing with a wide-open split-T. But Barnes had two aces up his sleeve: spring-footed Halfback Kermit Alexander, who raced 45 yds. for a touchdown against the Buckeyes on U.C.L.A.'s first play from scrimmage, and Quarterback Larry Zeno, who kicked the winning field goal with...
