New York, Oct. 3l-(UP)--Ten are seated today in the charmed circles of major football teams that are undefeated and united, but five of them must risk their records this week. against rowdy outfits aching to bring about upsets.
 The lucky ten are Pittsburgh, Texas Christian, California, Ten- nessee, Notre Dame, Santa Clara. Dartmouth, Duke, Oklahoma and Oklahoma and Iowa state. Some- where in that list are your Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl contestants.
 Five of them seem certain to sur- vive the week. Duke, team that has gone its quiet way without yielding a point this season, doesn't play. There is not much chance, either, that these can lose: Ten- nessee which plays Chattanooga, Dartmouth which meets Dickinson, Santa Clara which plays San Fran cisco, and Iowa State which takes on Drake.
 But the other five have got jobs cut out for them. Pittsburgh must get past Carnegie Tech, TCU meets tough little Tulsa squad. Calif- ornia must dispose of Southern Cal ifornia, Notre Dame confronts Navy, and Oklahoma plays Kansas State. The chances are that there won't be 10 chairs in the charmed circle next Saturday night

 Great Finish
 Saturday was to be the day of Pitts trial by fire. Fordhan, a stout, tricky team, was supposed to be able to cage the Panther if any, body could. And. for three periods, Fordham did. Then fate. which plays in the Pittsburgh backfield under the aliases of Goldberg, Steb- bins, Cassiano and Chickerneo, took hand and that was the end of Fordham. When they picked up the pieces the score was 24 to i3.
 Texas Christian, too, was supposed to have trouble on its hands with Baylor. The only trouble that de- veloped was with the sccreboard attendant who had trouble keeping up with the Texas Christian team. He finally figured up that 1t was 80 to [.
 Those performances marked Pitt and TCU as the standout teams of the nation ana unless they meet in some post-seascn affair the argu- ments about them will go on for years.
 Minnesota lost its seat in the charmed circle when a roaring, ripping Northwestern team finally showed across the touchdown that gave 1t 6-3 victory. Northwestern makes Q habit of knocking off Min nesota when nobody else seems able to do the job.
 Shock De Luxe
 The second big upset occurred at State College. Pa, where a here- tofore mediocre Penn State team magically came to life and swamp ed strong Syracuse, 33 to 6. No one seems quite sure what hap pened, but Syracuse suspects 1t lost because Penn State happened to score more touchdowns.
 California barely got by Oregon State, i3 to I; Darmouth showed power to burn in burying Yale, 24 to 6; Notre Dame, with great eli. max runner in Ben Sheridan, put herself back on the glory road with 8 19-7 triumph over Army; Duke. 2 great defensive team showed across two touchdowns for a victory oyer a North Carolina outfit that was sup. posted to cause trouble; Oklahoma loped to e 28 to 6 victory over TuI. sa; Iowa State got scare from Marquette, but finally won, 2 to 0: Santa Clara kicked a point after touchdown and that slim marker was the margin of victory over MI. chigan State; Tennessee proved that it has real class and Is not Z freak team by defeating a sturdy Louisiana squad. i4 to 6.
