COLLEGE
FOOTBALL
By WILL GRIMSLEY
NEW YORK, Oct. 16—I*—Army
and Oklahoma were over the big
humps in their schedules today and
headed toward new perfect seasons
that would provoke a hot dispute
over the national football cham
pionship.
Southern Methodist, the other
member of the college sport’s ter
rific trio, faces a lot of possible
lumps, in a conference that prides
itself on knocking over the favorites.
As a starter, the Mustangs meet
the defending Southwestern Cham
pion, Rice, Saturday night in Hous
ton, The unbeaten, untied Owls, who
smothered SMU, 41-27, last year, j
could do it again.
Meanwhile, Army’s Black Knights, |
having mauled Michigan, 27-6, with ;
an awesome display of might, j
should expect no trouble until they j
run against Stanford Nov. 18 in the ,
next-to-last game of the season.
Pennsylvania comes up Nov. 4 for j
the West Pointers but the Quakers .
should offer little resistance for!
Earl Blaik’s powerful, hard-hitting j
team. Army wm meet ae-emimu- (
sizing Harvard Saturday.
Oklahoma. 14-13 last gasp winner |
over Texas in Dallas’ Cotton Bowl,
has no other assignment that looks
anywhere near as tough. Kansas, an
old Big Seven rival, could prove
cantankerous Nov. 11 as could Okla
homa A. and M. in the final game.
Both Army and Oklahoma are
working on modern football’s fan
ciest streaks of invincibility.
The Sooners have won 24 straight
1 games—tops in the land. The Cadets
have gone 23 games without a set
back but a couple of ties have been
sandwiched in.
Swinging into the last half of
October, here’s how sectional
strength measures up, in approxi
. mate order:
East — Army, Cornell, Pennsyl
! vania, Princeton.
Midwest—Oklahoma. Notre Dame,
Ohio State, Wisconsin.
South — Kentucky, Vanderbilt,
Clemson, Maryland, Texas and Ten
nessee.
Southwest—Southern Methodist,
| Rice and Texas.
' Far West — California, Stanford,
and Washington.
i Of these, all are unbeaten and
i untied except Penn, Notre Dame,
Ohio State, Maryland, Texas and
Tennessee, which have dropped a
j game apiece.
Army, voted the nation’s No. 1
i team last week after the fall of
| Notre Dame, got its best test in the
: game with aroused Michigan at
Yankee Stadium.
For more than a half the future
Generals were played off their feet
but with Sophomore fullback A1
Pollard in the most damaging role,
they struck for three touchdowns in
five minutes of the last half to
| turn the game into a rout.
| Oklahoma subdued a favored
Texas in the fading minutes when
| Billy Vessels smashed 11 yards to
| a touchdown and tackle Jim Weath
| erall kicked the important extra
I point.
The Lone Star's pride was as
suaged in the night half of the inter
i state doubleheader at Dallas when
Southern Methodist, paced by passer
Fred Benners, rolled to a 56-0 vic
tory over Oklahoma A. and M.

PYONGYANG
(Continued from Page One)
Military men said disorganization
and confusion spread through Com
munist ranks, and signs multiplied
that the Red Korean army was
crumbling, although there still was
fierce resistance at some points.
But Allied intelligence officers said
the Reds had no confidence left in
their officers.
After the Allied troops take
Pyongyang, it is believed they will
chase the Reds northward toward
the potentially explosive borders of
Communist Manchuria and Soviet
Siberia.
Destruction is Wide
Fall of Pyongyang will inaugurate
a reconstruction and rehabilitation
campaign that will present huge
political and economic problems for
Gen. MacArthur. Nearly every city
and town along the battle lines was
badly beaten up in the fighting.
Communications are in bad shape
and industrial facilities have been
hard hit—some in North Korea vir
tually wiped off the map.

SEARCH ON FOR 2
HISSING PLANES,
CANADIAN, U. S.
(By the Associated Press)
Five Canadian geese hunters and
two California Junior college stu
dents were sought today in widely
separated aerial searches.
The Canadians were more than
| 36 hours overdue on their short two
j hour flight from a northwest Al
! berta hunting site to Edmonton,
; Alberta.
The two students also had been
i unreported since Saturday during a
I flight from Stockton, Calif., to Port
land, Ore.
In the Canadian search yesterday,
! a half dozen RCAF planes scoured
| the timbered muskeg country be
| tween Grand Prairie, Alta., and Ed
monton but reported no success.
Low-hanging cloud formations ob
scured the pilots’ vision.
Listed as missing in the twin
engined Cessna were pilot Harry
Pennington and Harry Morton, 40,
both of Vancouver, B.C., and Joseph
Dory, 42. James Mulcahy, 31. and
Stewart Reid, 30, all of Edmonton.
Two serach planes from McChord
Air Force Base and a number of
private aircraft scanned the Oregon
area between Medford and Eugene
in an equally fruitles ssearch for the
two overdue students. Pilot Rudi M.
Michel and Bill Thompson.
JILTED MAN JUST
UPS, KEEPS DOING
ELKTON, Md., Oct. 16——A 19
year-old Newark, N.J., girl, who left
one man waiting at the altar, today
got a license to marry another.
The elusive elopers, Bernice
Kurdes and Roland Lauther, got the
license and disappeared again in this
town filled with “marrying parsons.”
The couple has been hiding out
here since Bernice walked out Fri
day night on the eve of her an
nounced wedding to Bob Wallman
Lauther went to the clerk’s office
alone to obtain the license for
which they applied Saturday.
Bernice and her last-minute
choice had worked together in a
Newark brewery. Her father said
he didnt’ know him.
The jilted Wallman called off the
wedding and reception, flagged down
the caterer and 200 wedding guests.
Wallman also wondered about his
$700 engagement ring and the house
he had just bought.
But he was not going to give up
his honeymoon — even if there
wasn’t any honey any more.
He gathered up old pal Joe Krieg,
who would have been usher at
the wedding, and the two set out
last night to paint New York red.
After that—Florida.
