Season's Victors

The No. 1 football team of 1941 is Minnesota. If that statement is not be yond dispute it is at least the assumption which the minority of dissenters must dispute. Last week, the Gophers routed Wisconsin 41-to-6 for their eighth victory this year, their 17th in a row, their second successive Big Ten title.

> Close on their cleated heels are Texas A. & M. and Duke, also undefeated and untied. Because Minnesota is barred by Big Ten rules from playing post-season games, either Duke or' Texas A. & M. should be invited to represent the East in the Rose Bowl.

> Undefeated, untied Duquesne, pride of Pittsburgh, should be chosen for the Sugar, Cotton or Orange Bowl--even though its opponents this season included such minor-leaguers as Waynesburg, Niagara, Manhattan, St. Vincent and Villanova.

> Only other undefeated (but once tied) big-league team is Notre Dame. Like Minnesota, the Fighting Irish are deaf to Bowl bids.
