AOWABGW GAO&3 tSHAA OVAEEStS0NAAAGNbE Boston, Oct. 13. (uP)-Dartmouth was the only undefeated major college in New England today and the big Green seemed slated to re- main that way for at least another month.
 Fresh from it's triumph over Col. gate in probably the casts biggest surprise of the weekend, Dart mouth settled down to preparations for Saturdays clash with Harvard at Cambridge. The entire squad was intact and the opportunistS from Hanover's hills immediately were installed as favorites to whip the winless Crimson.
 Second billing to the Dartmouth- Harvard scrap goes to the inter- sectional game between Holy Cross and Mississippi at Worcester. The Crusaders, ranked by their last minute loss to Syracuse, will seek to make the southernerS swallow some of the same medicine they gave Louisiana State.
 May Beat Army
 Yale, rebuilding with promising flock of sophomoreS, has a good chance of returning to winning ways against Army at New Haven.
 Boston College, completely erased from the national picture after devastating defeats by Tulane and Clemson, gets Q semi-breather in meeting Manhattan here.
 Brown, the other major team from this area, should hang up its third win in four starts against Tuts at Providence, R. I. The Jumbos are undefeated to date but are way. out of their class this trip.
 Saturday was big day for Coach Dc Ormond (Tuss) McLaughry, serving his first season ct Dart mouth after l5 campaigns at Brown. His hitherto lightly-regarded 1n- dians capitalized on two fourth period mistakes by Colgate to trim the Red Raiders, lS-6.
 Tied at 6-6, 1t looked tough for Dartmouth when Colgate drove to its l5-yard line in the fourth quar- ter, but the Red Raiders fllmbled and failed to score. Four plays later, Dartmouth scored the winning touchdown and added another in the closing minutes after intercept ing Q forward pass.
 Harvard showed considerable i'm. proyement in the line but the same lack of scoring punch in dropping a TO decision to tlnbeaten Cornell. The big Red marched and passed s7 yards in the first period to its tally and then settled back to match the Crimson with sporadic surges that stalled in enemy territory.
 Last Minute Loss Il Holy Gross and Syracuse fought on I1early-even terms for 5S miTf- utes and tn Crusaders seemed as- sured of a scoreless deadlock when they halted an Orange threat or their l. Sophomore Dick Gibson was rushed in to kick out of dan. ger, but his try was blocked and Syracuse recovered for a touchdown and a 6-0 win.
 Tumble fever continued to rage at Boston College as the Eagles were brought to earth, 26-i3, by rugged Clemson, Southern conference champions. Five errors and the pass-snatching and tackling of Al.l America end Joe Ballock proved too much for B. c.
 Yale for the second straight week spotted an opponent three touch. downs in the first half but couldn't overcome the deficit this time, los- ing to potent Pennsylvania, 2e-l3. The Eli sophomores, however, moved to within one touchdown of the n- vaders only to have 6 forward pass boomerang and culminate In Penn's fourth tally.
 Brown stole Q l4-7 verdict from Rhode Island State when end Bob Priestley tore the ball from c State back and galloped 95 yards for Q fourth period touchdown.
