Scoreboard

P: As the topsy-turvey football season drew on, teams vanished from the unbeaten list like autumn leaves. Twice-tied Colgate was surprised by Syracuse, 31-12, while in the Southwest Conference, Arkansas switched too late from defense to offense and lost to Southern Methodist, 21-14. Remaining undefeated, untied teams: Ohio State, U.C.L.A., Oklahoma.

P: In the week's other big games, Ohio State tightened its grip on Rose Bowl tickets by pounding Purdue, 28-6. To cinch the Big Ten title, the Buckeyes still have to get by once-beaten Michigan, which slammed Michigan State, 33-7. With its seventh Big Seven title in sight, Oklahoma knocked Missouri out of the running, 34-13.

P: In Brooklyn, a football game between Far Rockaway High School and St. Francis Prep broke up in a savage free-for-all. Some 150 spectators joined in and five players were casualties, two of them hospitalized. Far Rockaway's players, although they won 26-19, suffered further injury: three teen-age girls sneaked into their locker room, put the team's street clothes in the shower. Far Rockaway's players limped home in their uniforms, each carrying his bundle of wet clothes.
