  ROUNDUP, FOOTBALL NEW YORK, Oct. 20-tR-This is a “breather” week for the two top college football teams in the country-Army and Oklahoma. If either of the powerhouses loses tomorrow, it would be as big bombshell as Purdue beating Notre Dame two weeks ago. But each figures to triumph almost as it pleases. Top-rated Army, fresh from licking Michigan of the Big Ten, this time invades the Ivy League for tussle with Harvard, one of the weak sisters of the loop, at Cambridge, Mass. The Oklahoma Sooners, sporting the longest winning streak in college football-24 games-entertains Kan sas State of the Big Seven. This, too, should provide easy pickings. Southern Methodist, the No. 8 outfit, however, could run into trouble. Moanin’ Rusty Russell leads his band to Houston, Tex, for a battle with Rice that could decide he eventual winner of the South vest Conference race. That 500 triumph Southern Methodist scored over Oklahoma A. md NJ last week, apparently isn’t ‘azing Rice in the least. Rice came tut with a 41–⁠27 decision last year. Notre Dame, dumped to the No. IL spot in the national ranking axes on Indiana. The last major untouched goal line was crossed yesterday when Clemson played a 14–⁠14 tie with South Carolina at Columbia, sc. Clemson had won its first three games without yielding score. Most of the conferences have i’m oortant trays on tap Saturday. Besides the SMU-Rice affair in the Southwest, there is Texas–Arkansas at Austin and Texas A. and M Texas Christian at College Station. In the Big Ten, Wisconsin, the surprise leader, faces Michigan. which last week bowed to Army. Ohio State, No. in the country, and Rose Bowl champion, will play Minnesota at Minneapolis. California is favored over Oregon State at Berkeley, while Stanford rates over UCLA at Los Angeles.
