Scoreboard

> As the college football season entered its final rounds, the unbeaten teams fought to stay in the running for national honors. Few succeeded. Top-ranked Michigan State was jarred off balance by a new Minnesota offense, lost 13-0 in the season's biggest upset so far. Second-ranked Mississippi fell to a fired-up Louisiana State team 10-7. Third-ranked Texas, stalled in the first half by a stubborn Southern Methodist defense, finally untracked its speedy running attack to beat the Mustangs 27-0. Unbeaten Alabama overwhelmed scrappy Mississippi State 24-0. But the most impressive display of brawny ground power came from fifth-ranked Ohio State, which ran over Iowa 29-13, moved into a tie with Minnesota for leadership in the Big Ten. Elsewhere, two long Navy field goals edged out Notre Dame 13-10. Syracuse, paced by its great All-America Halfback Ernie Davis, romped over Pitt 28-9. Maryland's pinpoint passing attack gave the Terrapins a quick 14-point lead, and they clung on to win 21-17 over Penn State. Once-beaten Georgia Tech capitalized on three Florida fumbles for a decisive 20-0 victory. In the less bruising Ivy League, Princeton retained the top spot, smothering hapless Brown 52-0.

> In the $301,365 Garden State Stakes, the world's richest horse race, Willie Shoemaker deftly steered Crimson Satan from dead last to a 2 1/2-length victory, making the two-year-old colt a top contender for 1962's classic races.

> Memphis State Quarterback James Earl Wright (TIME, Oct. 27), one of the South's best, was sidelined for the season after the Mississippi State game with a torn cartilage in his left knee.

> Scheduled to play Pratt Junior College last week, Oklahoma's Connors Junior College regretfully begged out of the game. The reason: eight of Connors' 24 football players had broken arms.
