 New York, Nov. i7-(UP)-That unauthorized Rose Bowl bid Stan. fords Indians extended to Texas two weeks ago was just an Om- barrassing memory for both parties today with only Ave unheaten teams surviving Q generally formful foot- ball weekend which all but settled Ave conference championships.
 While Texas A. @ M., Minnesota and Missouri assumed themselves of not less than ties ia the Southwest, Big Ten and Big Six races and Duke and oregon State closed in for the kill In the Southern end Pacific Conferences, al the Indians and Texas could show were the re- verse ends of upsets and very rcd faces.
 Stanford bowed to Washington State, l4.iS, dropped Into . triple to In its league Rnd--unless Ore. gon defeats Oregon State Nov. % --lost all chance for the sectional crown and Pasadena invitation. Texas blew It's Bowl opportunities and tho Southwest crown by losing to Texas Christian, i4-7.
 Title Hopes Gone
 The Longhorns, now defeated and tied, no longer can salvage tho Southwest title, because Texas A. & M. all but wrapped 1t up with & io-6 conquest of Rice which kept the Aggies in the thinning ranks of the unbeaten along with Minnesota, Duke, Notre Dame and Duquesne.
 Similar situations now exist in both the Far West and the South. west. Only TCU now can catch the Aggies and this possible tie is predi- cated upon an Aggie loss to Texas and TNCU triumphS over both Rice and Southern Methodist. Even though such 0 tie should occur, the Aggies still would have an edge on the title and the Cotton Bowl ,n. vitation by virtue og having beaten the team that tied 1t. A. & M. al. ready has defeated the Horned Frogs.
 On the coast, Stanford has Q game coming up with California, Oregon State Q meeting with oregon and Washington contests with both Oregon and Southern California. Any loss from here on means elim- nation for the defeated team. If all three squads win their remain ing games, Oregon State which shaded California, Go, on Saturday will cllnch both the championship and the Rose Bowl invitation by virtue of having defeated both deadiocked Tivals.
 Minnesota rolled towards It's sec ond perfect record season and Big 10 crown by crushing Iowa. The Golden Gophers need only get past Wisconsin now to make their tri. umph ofncial. At present, both Michigan ard Ohio State = which meet next week-hold chance for tie should Wisconsin defeat Min- nesota.
 Duke Rest
 The picture is the same in che Big Six where Missouri blanked Ok lahoma, 2s-0, and has only weak Kansas ahead. This race, however, Is all but over because Missouri can only be tied by the Sooners, whom the Tigers have defeated. In the Southern ConferC nee, Duke thump- ed North Carolina, 20-0, and has only North Carolina State ahead, although the Blue Devils are nomi- nallv tied in the iaa~ua raea xviti, William & Mary, which they don't meet this season.
 The two unbeaten independents kept pace with the leaders. Notre Dame, headed for its first unde- feated season since lo30, filed e bid for the mythical national cham plonship by defeating Northwestern, 7-6, but will not consider a Bowl bid. A team that wll, Duquesne, finished a perfect season by jolting previously un5eaten Mississippi State, l6-0.
