the finish and with three last period touchdowns, ran the final score to 34 to 26.
 That Columbia could have won by a bigger margin seemed ob- vious but the Lions already had forgotten about Cornell and were thinking ahead to this Saturday. And a victory over the Quakers, which would be an upset, though not too surprising one, would provide the final touch of reconversion for 8 school that won oly five games against 15 defeats in three dreary war years. Things hit bottom in 1943 when the Lion went through an eight game schedule and lost every one, and they weren't much better last year. The Lions started out with two victories in 1944, then dropped six in row.
 Highlight game throughout the nation is at Yankee stadium Sat urday when Army meets Notre Dame. The Cadets were installed over the week end as 20 point fav- orites, but in view of their 59 to victory over the Irish last year it is the consensus that Notre Dame is pointing for this contest as fol no other.
 In other eastern games, Navy meets Michigan at neutral Balti- more, Cornell plays Colgate, liar yard meets Kings Point Merchant Marine, Penn State opposes Temple Pittsburgh takes on Ohio State Princeton is matched with Dart mouth, Lafayette draws Rutgers New York U meets Lehigh, Yale plays Brown and Holy Cross tackles Coast Guard Academy.

YALE FOOTBALL TEAMS HAVE
 WON 499 GAMES

New Haven, Conn, Nov - The Yale football team needs only a lone victory-a victory 1t hopes to record in the Bowl this Saturday against BroWn-to write a new page in grid iron history and to establish new intercollegiate mark of 500 wins which experts predict can not be broken for several years, if ever.
 The to triumph of the Bulldogs over Dartmouth on Saturday was the 499th since the Bulldogs don- ned tasseled caps and canvas jackets for their first contest which was played in 1872 at Hamilton Park against Columbia.
 According to pr. L. H. Baker of New York footballs number one historian, the runner-up to the Els is the University of Pennsylvania which scored it's 480th gridiron de- cision last week by humping Princeton. Tn third spot is Michigan while other teams throughout the nation trail far behind.
 Records show that in the 73-year span of Yale football the Eli teams have lost only 104, tied 39 of the SAP contests played for an overall victory percentage of TIT, or 1922 when the tie games are eliminated. Remarkable!
 l Tn exactly 393 games Ell oppo- nents have been held scoreless- that's "- per cent of the contests played-while the boys who have uorr, tba Ll1a tro Otoipnc IaUa faiIa6 to cross opponent goal lines only GA times. Yales longest string of ad- ministering whitewashings stretched from the final game of the 1890 campaign when the Ellis whipped Princeton 32 to to the last game of the 1893 season when Capt. Frank Hinkey's squad bowed to the Tigers to 0. During these 35 games in which Yale did not permit an enemy score, the Ellis tallied a grand total of 129l points-another Yale record which today looms as impervious.
 Included In the 499 wins is Skein of AS consecutive games from 1885 through 1889 in which the Bulldogs were undefeated. A 49th victory in this streak was nullified when on Nov. 25, 1886, the Yale team held a 4 to 0 advantage over Princeton when the game was called because of darkness and under the rules of that era the contest went into the books as 8 scoreless deadlock.
 Yale today needs only 27 points to bring It's all-time total to l400C and this doesn't include the 49 frays in which the Ellis participated prior to 1883 when point values were first established. The accumulative score of opponents during this same per iod is 2,707. The most points Yale ever scored in single game was the l42 to pasting handed Wesleyan ir 1896, while the Bulldogs on two other occasions whipped the same club by more than 100 points and in l881 rolled over Dartmouth by ll3 to margin.
 While Yale made lot of deposits to its percentage of victories prlol to the current century, Bulldof teams since 1900 have more thar held their own with z76 wins against 89 defeats.

 New York, Nov. 6-(UP)-After three of the dreariest years of col- lege football any school ever had, fans had a perfect right today to be excited about Columbia's un- beaten Lions, but their supply of SuperlatiVeS is going to run mighty low along about three years from now.
 The important things about this Columbia team, undefeated and un- extended in winning six games to date. is that practically every man on the squad is a freshman or sophomore. The only exceptions are Navy traineeS, who aren't ranked oy class, but most of them are first year men. And to man they VOW that regardless of where they may be sent to complete their hitch Tn the Navy, they are coming back to play some more football for Coach Lou Little.
 The beardleSs backfield of the Lions, featuring the Init and run" Greek, Gene Rossides, is one ot the youngest ever to represent a col lege team. There are eight fresh men. two sophomores and two naval trainees on the backfield squad with seven of them only IT years old.
 It is the same story in the line where Little, by the way, isn't very deep in manpoWer. Of his 23 squad men, 14 are Navy trainees, five are freshmen and four sophomores. Nevertheless that "boy brigade" has transformed the long hapless Lions into one of the most feared teams in eastern football, one which cer- tainly would get Bowl bid, Ii the faculty fathers hadn't turned cold water on the idea.
 Although Columbia has beaten Lafayette, Syracuse, Yale, Colgate Brown and Cornell, in that order the major test comes Saturday al Philadelphia against Pennsylvania The Quakers, generally regarded as the top football team m the east aside from the service aca- demv Titans, Army and Navy, vii be favored to win but Columbia haS been pointing for this game anc should be "at the peak" for 1t.
 The general observation in tht press box Saturday was that O. iumbia started playing" Pennsyl' vania in the third period of it's gamt with Cornell. Thanks to the run away ball carrying of RoSsides, Wht made all of the five Lion touch downs, three of them in the firs period, the team figured the gamt was in the bag and statred letting down. AS a consequence, Cornel put on a brilliant burst of speed a the University of Georgia which has a six to five margin,
 Meanwhile, Yale has posted wide edge with such rivals as Army Navy, Harvard, Princeton, Penn Brown and Columbia Teams tC which the Els have never lost in clude Carnegie Tech, Notre Dame NYU, North Carolina, Penn, State Rutgers, Syracuse and Wisconsin.
 Another Bulldog football record Is that of never having been de feated by a Connecticut foe. In 6. games against Nutmeg opposition the Els hold 45 victories over Wes' leyan, 15 over Trinity and two ovel the Coast Guard Academy.
