major fives, went down yesterday
before North Carolina, 51-29, while
O1terbein, the last of the smaller
schools in the select class, lost to
Muskingum, 52-47. Navy had won
eight games in row and Otter
bein ten.
The wiping out Of all unbeaten
quintets highlighted week Of up
sets that saw Bowling Green snap
the 15-game winning streak Of the
Oklahoma Aggies. NCAA cham
pions, 1887, and New York univer-
sity beat Notre Dame, 62-5S. The
Aggies' defeat came last night at
Chicago, "a hours after the Aggies
had whipped Depaul, 1888, to
avenge their early season loss.
