New York, Nov. i7-(uP)-Mon- day morning gr!d-lrony:
 Player of the week-special deliv. cry Jones, Pittsburgh's great back, who, in two games. has blossomed Into distinct l-American possi- hility. A week ago he helped bring about the upset of Fordham, and on Saturday he broke the hearts of the Nebraska rooters at Lincoln, With cn.y 45 seconds left and the score tied at 7-7, the Nebraskans felt sure they had tie. Suddenly Jones intercepted pass and ran 65 yards for the winning touchdown, The miracle Of 1t is that he almost did 1t again in the dying seconds Of the game. He intercepted another Nebraska pass, ran through 10 play CTS and finally was halted by the lith man, three yards short of touchdown. In short, the postman almost rang twice in 45 seconds.
 Well-Earned
 Upset of the week-Texas Christ ian's IA to ' victory over Texas. It was the same old story, set to famil- jam music. Texas. looking ahead to & tough game with Texas A. & M, let the TCU boys slip up on them. There wasn't any fluke about it ei- ther. TCU won both the game and the statistics. Comparative figures: First downs-TCU 2, Texas 5; Yards gained rushing-TCU l47. Texas li9: yards gained passing-TCU 59, Tex as 29.
 The moral to the story of Wash- ington States surprising l4 to l3 victory over Stanford is that you can't win unless you have the ball 8 reasonable amount of time. It al- so seems to be about the only an- swer to teams that are adept in the T formation. Washington State won because 1t kept Stanford on the de- fensive. The same timing happened to the Chicago Bears, another T formation team, when they took shellacking from the Green Bay Packers. Once you let the Bears or Stanford have the ball they will roll and roll. You've got to get the jump on those babies and keep the pres- sure on 'em for 60 full minutes. Inc cidentally, it now looks like that one-pcint loss is going to be the margin that keeps Stanford out of inside track.
 No Fifth Down
 After what happened last year. the Rose Bowl. Oregon State has the Cornell wasn't taking any chances on Saturday. You will recall that Cornell beat Dartmouth on Saturday last season and then lost to them on a weekday when the officials got around to checking Up. Seems Cor nell had been given fifth-down on one series of plays and had scored the winning touchdown, making the score T to 3. Later, referee Red Erie sell confessed he had made a mis- take and Dartmouth was awarded the victory, 8 to o. At Ithaca, ". Y., on Saturday, Cornell took out some Insurance by running up B points while Dartmouth was collecting 1o. It's about time people quit treat- ing that Duquesne team as a step- child. Year after year the boys out in Pittsburgh come up with a good club that doesn't get its share Of publicity and glory. This week the Dukes got around to convincing the country that they really had class when they walloped tough Missis- sippl State team, IS to o. It was Du- quesnes eight straight victory and closed out the season, 80 the Dukes are 6 sure bet for Q bowl bid.
