 New York, Nov. 29-UP)-The 194O collegiate football season, which brought bitter disappoint- ment to an unprecedented number of teams and high 4lonors to only a few, comes to close tomorrow with three elevens- Stanford, Tennessee and Boston College-striving for sectional championships.
 Bowl invitations for all three, so far unbeaten and united, will be at stake as the other two surviving perfect record teams, Minnesota and Lafayette, rest after completing their schedules.
 Top game of the day so far as crowd appeal goes will be the Army Navy classic. Lacking any particu- lar importance, the contest be- tween the two service elevens will attract over 100000 fans because of its colorful pageantry. Navy Is. a heavy favorite because Army has won but one game this season.
 But it's on the other three games that bids to post-season bowl ex- travaganzas hinge. Stanford, Sur- prise team of 1940, can sew up the Pacific coast title and western Rose bowl bid by defeating the tough California Golden Bears in their traditional encounter. The Bears have improved steadily and should cause trouble. If Stanford wins it will be the seventh straight con- ference triumph for the team that won only one game last year.
 Fordham at Miami
 If Tennessee beats Vanderbilt in its final game ai invitation to some bowl will arrive by the next mail. the Volunteers will also gain sole possession of the southeastern title. Mississippi State and Alabama, each with a mathematical chance for the crown, meet at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Winner of this game will probably play in the Orange Bowl-possibly against Fordham.
 Boston College meets Holy Cross in a game that shapes up as fairly easy for the undefeated Eagles. Vic- tory may open the way to an in- vitation to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and meeting with Ten neSsee.
 The only other major game sends Nebraska against Kansas State with the big six crown at stake. Play is finished in the big ten and big seven and the majority of Ivy leag- uers have ended cmopetition.
 The seasons second Thanksgiv- ing day schedule, while numerically small, served up an exciting pro- logue to Saturdays finale when Texas humbled mighty and Texas A & M.
 No Repeaters
 Never in the history of the south- western conference has a champion repeated and as a result of yester- days upset, one of two teams Southern Metrodist or Rice-%may tie the Aggies for the title. The Aggies' record is five and one while SMU and Rice have won three and lost one with two to go. If both elevens win tomorrow, then the victor in their Dec. 2 meeting will tie with the Aggies.
 Texas scored the only touchdown in the first minute of play. After taking the kickoff on the 35, Layden passed g yards to Grain on the first down. Another pass fell in- complete, then Layden tossed to Doss on the one-foot line and drove through center on the next play to score. rain converted.
 Only other important results were: Columbia 0, Brown O.; Ar kansas 27, Tulsa 21; Kansas 26, Colorado State 0.
