Fifth Saturday

At the start of each season college football teams resemble a fleet of shiny new motor cars. By last week most of the cars had dented fenders, smashed radiators, or twisted frames, but a few still remained unscratched and uninjured.

P: Californians, always enthusiastic about their football teams, last week turned out 80,000 strong to see undefeated and untied University of California rip off three touchdowns (two by Vic Bottani), trounce University of Southern California, 20-to-6.

P: Dick Nardi, Ohio State halfback, has scored one touchdown in every Ohio State game this year. Last week on "Dads' Day," running true to form, he dented unbeaten Northwestern, 7-to-0.

P: Running 62 yards against a whipping wind, undefeated Dartmouth's Bill Hutchinson scored against undefeated Harvard in the first quarter. Just after it began to rain in the third quarter he ran 55 yards for another touchdown. Before the game ended Dartmouth's Hutchinson had scored again, this time in a heavy fog and ankle-deep mud. Score: 20-to-2.

P: Jim Crowley, coach of unbeaten Fordham, thought it would be good strategy to start his second team against Texas Christian. It wasn't until two minutes before the game ended that Fordham got back the touchdown Crowley's strategy had cost it. Score: Fordham 7; Texas Christian 6.

P: Pittsburgh has scored 106 points this season while its opponents have been scoring, no points at all. Last week with Marshall Goldberg cheerfully scoring two touchdowns to make up for not being al lowed to score any against Fordham last fortnight, Pittsburgh easily beat previously unbeaten Wisconsin, 21-to-0.

P: In a snowstorm: Notre Dame 9, Navy 7.

P: For three and a half periods it seemed that a field goal by Yale's Fullback Dave Colwell was all the scoring that Yale or Cornell could do against each other. Then Yale's Captain Clint Frank reeled off a 68-yard run for an unnecessary touchdown and an untarnished record. Score: 9-to-0.
