Last week, Navy's Roger Staubach scuppered Duke practically singlehanded, 38-25; Syracuse took Richmond like Grant 50-0; and Penn State stayed Bowl-bound by licking Holy Cross 28-14. In a head-on Eastern collision, Pitt downed Army...
...Texas gets past A. & M. and wins the paper championship, it will still have to prove its right to the title Jan. 1 in the Cotton Bowl, perhaps against No. 2-ranked Navy and brilliant Quarterback Roger Staubach.
