Bucknell fell 51-0 in a game which shouldn't have been scheduled. The rout gave more confidence to the new players. But the next week Columbia and its super star quarterback Marty Domres took some wind out of the new Crimson sails. The skeptics reappeared as Harvard won by only one touchdown, 21-14. Sloppy football was the pundits' watchword and again Big Hole appeared in the lineup. But the pundits didn't know how lasting the Holy Cross half-time magic was and were caught by surprise as Harvard downed Cornell 10-0 and Dartmouth...
...expected a tight game on October 28 when the Quakers met the Crimson. But the potential of the Crimson, so obscure in pre-season exhibitions, was again apparent, though again not its limits. What was supposed to be another tight game, a possible defeat for Harvard, ended in a rout. The Quakers went home after a 28-6 shellacking and there wasn't much to drink to in the Penn fraternities...
...stage was set. Until the final whistle sounded at Princeton, the Crimson eleven hadn't really been thinking about Yale. It was too big, too powerful, too far removed. And always there had been a more immediate task at hand. And yet, after an easy rout of Brown, here they were. A Cinderella team facing the might Eli.

It was not enough, however, to save his job as Defense Minister in 1962, following the rout of Indian troops by the Chinese on the Himalayan border. Menon remained in the Lok Sabha until 1967, when Patil -the party boss in Bombay-managed to withhold Congress Party endorsement from Menon, who was running for his old seat in North Bombay. Menon then ran as an independent...
...tennis squad tried next. On Penn's distinctive hard-surface courts, the Crimson bowed, 5-4, for its only loss of the season. Poor old coach Barnaby. Only a rout of Penn by Princeton and a Harvard win over the Tigers averted a total tragedy. Harry Parker's crew had worse lunch when it tried to retain the Adams Cup for the sixth year in a row. Penn eased to a 1 1/2 length victory, and it seemed that the world might come to an end after...
