New York, Nov. 10-(UP)-Mon- day morning grid-irony:
 Players of the week-Angelo Ber- teli, the Bob Teller of the football fields" who threw fast ones, curves, slow ones and fadeaways, pitching Notre Dame to victory over Navy, Give the kid dry field and a dry ball, and you will find plenty of football men who will insist that he is the best passer in the country, college or professional. Working behind the same superb protection that Charley O'Rourke enjoyed llr1- der Coach Frank Leahy at Boston College last year, Bertelli has com- pleted 52 passes this season for a total of 713 yards. Against Navy he completed 12 or IS for total of 232 yards and was involved, directly or indirectly, in all three Notre Dame touchdowTls that knocked Navy from the ranks of the un- beaten and moved the Rose Bowl several hundred miles forther from Annapolis, Md.
 Over- Confidence
 Upset of the week-Pittsburgh'S 13-0 victory over Fordham. The real hero of that game was old Man Over Confidence, a cunning gent who likes to slip up on teams with perfect records and bust 'em boys wree so busy trying to decide whether to take summer or winter right on the nose. The Fordham clothes to the Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans that they forgot that anything can happen, including an upset by David over Goliath. There wasn't any fuke about this one, either. Pittsburgh, kicked around all season, started beating Fordham at the opening whsitle and kept it up for 50 minutes. The Partners won the statistics as well as the game and dropped plenty of sand in the sugar that Fordham hoped to find in the Sugar Bowl.
 Now there is nothing certain ex- cept death. Friday night everybody was saying there was nothing cer- tain except death and Texas, but an under-dog Baylor team showed that Texas can be a very uncertain thing. The score was ' to T, but Baylor can claim a moral victory on the statistics. Baylor gained 128 yards along the ground to Texas 116. Texas has whisper of an advantage on passing, 43 yards to 4l. While all that was happen ing, Texas A. M, which was sup- posed to be just a zephyr without the mighty John Kimbrough, de- feated Southern Methodist, 2l to 10, and is rolling along nicely.
 Dream Stun
 Once upon a time a halfback dreamed that he ran for a touch- down every time he got the ball. That dream almost came true for the backfield men in the Ohio State WiscorSon game. Neither team had any defense and the boys galloped for scores all afternoon. It has been agreed that the tentative score shall be set down as Ohio State 46, Wisconsin 34, subject, of course, to correction in case the S4A@SNNA SSOAVAO 0ACCVfCE Jk1dJ couple of touchdowns were lost in the shuttle.
 How the Mighty Have Fallen De. partment-Re Remember the great days when aCrnegie Tech was the terror of the East, and sometimes the South and West? Score: Cin- cinnati 20, Carnegie Tech o.
 The crowd had just settled into their sets, the music of the band had barely died away and the Ar- kansas players looked ta the score- board and read: Rice 14, Arkansas O." Rice scored twice in the first six minutes, but the Arkansas boys finally recovered and the final was Rice 2l, Arkansas 12.
