    Grid Season (otkeyed or, Eastern Field NEW YORK, Oct. 2l (APl-The college football season, a cockeyed campaign in which surprises are a dime a dozen and nothing seems impossible, reaches the halfway mark this week with only a hand ful of major teams still clutching untarnished records. Many previously unbeaten out fits were engaged today in pulling themselves from the wreckage strewn across every section of the land in the past weekend’s wave of upsets and there was a strong possibility that similar embarrass- ment lay ahead for some of those who escaped Army, Notre Dame and Texas still the nations top trio-all have their work cut out for them next Saturday when they face tough opponents ready, willing and able to blemish their all victorious rec ords. The Cadets, who blasted Colum- bia from the unbeaten ranks 48- IA, move into New York’s Polo Grounds for their annual battle with Duke The Blue Devils warmed up for this one with a 41–⁠0 whitewashing of Richmond. Notre Dame, idle last week, in vades Iowa, which pulled one of Saturdays many surprises by blank ing Indiana 13–⁠0. Texas, which dumped previously unbeaten Ar kansas 200, visits Rice, an im- proved team that dropped South crn Methodist 21–⁠7 for it’s third triumph since losing 7–⁠6 opener to Louisiana State. Pennsylvania Quakers, wno kept their record clean by smear ing Virginia 40–⁠0, entertain Navy in another Eastern headliner. The Middies, downed 21–⁠14 by North Carolina for their third loss, should be ready to give somebody a troublesome afternoon.
