  way Of knowing October 81 would pit Nos and in the Nation and, instead, it’ll be Penn State-Syracuse on TV screens in this section and other regional games elsewhere. IN REVIEWING A MONTH of college football it seems apparent that not only Notre Dame but other top teams are rediscovering the ground attack Michigan State didn’t bomb previous undefeated Michigan but handled the Wolverines pretty much as the Irish flattened Southern Cal Three of the Spartans touchdowns came by rushing, form of attack that accounted for 100 yards. About the only top team that relied chiefly on passing game last week was Mississippi. However, the RebS gaining 35l yards on aerials, simply may have been taking the easy way, because Houston was no match. Final score: Att. Even third-ranked Texas, much given to passes in the past, rolled past Oklahoma, 2S-7, with running attack that Melted 1873 yards. incidentally, when was the last time Oklahoma showed an 0–⁠3 record? Whipped by Notre Dame, Iowa State and Texas in successive weeks, the Sooners have no guarantee that things won’t become worse this week. They play Kansas, twice beaten and once tied but with a deceptive record One of the Kansas losses was to Texas Christian 1716, and the other to Colorado, 20–⁠19. The lone win was a 21–⁠7 decision over Iowa State, same team that licked Oklahoma, 21–⁠15. Maryland may wind up in the Orange Bowl yet, but it’s virtually a cinch the Sooners two-time bowl conquerorS of the Terrapins, won’t SPEAKING OF MARYLAND, this is the week of truth for Coach Tom Nugents fallen young men. Bruised in body and in pride by North Carolina last week, Mary land starts anew against Air Force in Colorado The Falcons climb toward the top has stalled. All they’ve got to show for this season so far is an 8–⁠6 come-from- behind victory over Cincinnati, which mainly illustrates that World Series or football, it isn’t Cincinnatis year The Terrapins, if they bounce back, probably won’t regain top 10 ranking but, as Coach Nugent philosophically and optimiStically points out, there’s time left to correct that matter. Still remaining after this week are South Carolina, Penn State, North Carolina State, Wake Forest and Virginia.
