 New York, Nov. 114-(U.Pl-With NOtre Dame's short-lived football dynasty smashed, new pretenders to the throne strode forward to-day to stake claims to national gridiro1i supremacy. A
 Ten major teams remain unbeaten and united but several of them have sneaked into the stretch on light schedules which eliminate them from serious consideration for the mythical national championship.
 Princeton in the east, Minnesota in the midwest, North Carolina in the south and California in the far west added most to their prestige in last weeks hostilities, which were featured by Northwestern's courag- eous conquest of N0tre Dame.
 If the No. 1 spot occupied last week by Notre Dame can be accord ed to any team this week, 1t goes to Minnesota's might Vikings from the far north. The Gophers drove on to their 18th straight victory in three years by defeating Iowa. It was the Hawkeyes' first defeat, although they had been tied by Indiana.
 Eastern Hopes
 Princeton laid serious claim to the easter title by crushing Harvard, 35-0. for its sixth straight victory. Dartmouth, Syracuse and New York U. are other eastern teams with per- feet records.
 Down south, North Carolina, Dixie's lone unbeaten, united eleven, gave further demonstration of its power by overwhelming V. M. T., 56-0. With only Duke and Virginia remaining on their schedule, the Tarheels seem to be the nations best bet to finish the season with 8 perfect record.
 California moved within one game of the Pacific coast title by tri- umphing 14-O over Washington, marking the sixth major foe in suc- cession the Golden Bears have knocked of. California has Pacific, setup, and Stanford, beaten only by U. c. L. A., 7-6, barring its path to the far-western title and a rose bowl bid.
 Southern Methodist and Texas Christian, two formidable south western teams, remain unbeaten and united but they have the tough est part of their schedules ahead of them. s. M. U. makes 1t bid for na- tional prestige to-day, meeting U. c. l.. A., conquered only by California, at Los Angeles. T. c. U. has three rugged conference foes, Texas, Rice and s. M. U., and an intersectional game with Santa Clara in its path to a perfect record.
