BIG ELEvEN5 LOOMING UP,
 GRID BATTLE
cBv the Associated Press)

It's no longer sufficient to say those gridron gargantuas-Notre Dame, Army and Oklahoma-won again. The pertinent point is: by how much?
 As if jealously watching the scoreboard in their drive for na- tional honors, these three top ranking elevens are gorging them selves on touchdowns and pushing the modern record for scoring.
 Armys Black Knights of the Hudson, second to Notre Dame III the current standings, are setting the point-production pace among the leaders with total of PCT in six games, an average of 4412 per Saturday.
 The fighting Irish have registered 197 in five games, an average ol 39 plus, while the third-ranked Sooners have 229 in six games, a bit over 38 for each afternoons sport.
 All three of the titans won games Saturday by robust margins. Notre Dame crushed Navy, 40-0, at Balti- more. Army overwhelmed Virginia Military, 4d-14 Oklahoma smashed Iowa State, BAT.
 These were the other top develop ments of the last October week end:
 1. Pennsylvania, ninth ranked nationally, was tumbled from the unbeaten ranks by Pittsburgh, which scored last minute safety to pre- vail, 22-21
 2. Perfect records were main- tained by II other major teams Notre Dame, Army, Oklahoma, California, Cornell, Baylor, Boston U., Virginia, Fordham, Wyoming. and College of the Pacific.
 3. Bowl hopes reelected for Cali fornia, Baylor, Pitt and Boston University.
 4. Bowl hopes were shattered for North Carolina, Minnesota and UCLA.
 5. Fordham, once an eastern giant, came back to the big leaders with a APO triumph over George town.

 THRILLER ON
 HOME FIELD
By JACK HEWINS

SEATTLE. Oct. 31-tR-The Rose Bowl hopes of Southern California still were alive today after sur viving the widest 125 seconds in American football and a frighten- ing challenge Saturday by the Washington Huskies.
 The Washingtons, apparently well on |. the way to another terrific drubbing, thrilled a homecoming crowd of 33,500 by rallying to take 28-27 third quarter lead before going under 40 to 28.
 For a few minutes it looked like the kicking toe of placement spe- cialist Jim Rosenzweig might give Washington the margin needed for it's first conference victory. He had booted four and Frank Clifford had missed once for use. But the game really was a pitching duel between Jim Powers of the winning Trojars and Washingtons Don Henrich. Ile HlOSL CAplOSiVC oCOOi'o dcoi ter ever seen in these parts pro- duced six touchdowns-three for each team-and four were on passes.
 At the start of the second period Powers passed 40 yards to Al Can tor and Al was as good as his name for 40 more on the 90-yard touch- down play. Right back came Troy for another on 47-yard and Wash ington trailed, 200.
 But Heinrich gunned pass to Roland Kirkby for a 55-yard six pointer and in barely minute did it again for 39 yards and the count was 20-14. once more Trc> hammered to counter, and before the breath-taking stanza ended Hugh McElhenny ripped off A startling yards through Troy after taking a flat pass. He was downed on the use 20 From there Wash ington powered in six plays to the first I'D scored against the Trojans this year on the ground.

BEARS GET PAWS INTO
 ROSE BOWL
By RUSS NEWLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31-R- Californias Bears have one paw in the Rose Bowl. Only the most thun- dering upsets now can prevent their return to the country's No. foot gall classic Jan. 2.
 Lynn Waldorf's team hurdled its second biggest obstacle of the sea- son last week with convincing 35-21 victory over it's southern cousin, the University of California at Los Angeles. The other tough one was the University of Southern California, a 16-10 victim two weeks age
 California is the only unde- feated, united club in the coast conference. The balance of its schedule is favorable. Washington State next weekend should provide not much more than workout. Tne same goes for oregon Nov. 12. Stan- ford, in the season windup Nov. 19, may offer an argument of major proportions.
 BEARS FOR ROSE BOWL
 The Bears from Berkeley went to the Rose Bowl last New Years Day. They lost to Northwestern. There seems little doubt they will make the trip again. The Big Ten team for the postseason classic is yet undetermined. It may be Ohio State, currently tied with Iowa for the lead in that conference.
 Whichever club comes out must be prepared to contend with Bob Celeri. He's the boldest T-forma- tion quarterback they've seen out this way in many year. Celeri does the unexpected even when it is expected.
 DOZEN PASSES
 To help defeat UCLA, Celeri completed a dozen passes good for 230 yards. He engineered the drives to five touchdowns to beat rival team so fired up. it claimed a 14-14 tie at halftime.
 California has won 21 conference games in row. In fact, Coach Waldorf has lost only one league contest since he took over three seasons ago.
 Southern California, preseason favorite for the conference title, outscored an inspired Washington team, 4G-28 and takes on the loops enigma club, Stanford, this week end.
 Southern California will be fav- cred over Stanford. The latter chalked up 7-7 tie with Santa Clara in a game marked by de- fensive play.
 THIS WEEKEND
 Washington meets Oregon. Ore gon lost to Iowa 31-34 last week. Off the performance against use, Washington rates an excellent chance against Oregon. The latter was thumped by Southern Califor- mia, 40-13.
 Kip Taylor's Michigan style wing lack formation finally started clicking and his Oregon State team buried Washington State under a 35-6 count. Left half Ken Carpen- ter was the big OSC gun, rushing 19o yards. oregon State, therefore, vii be favored to take Idaho Sat- urday. Idaho outpointed Univer- sity of Portland 49-21 last week.
 Montana belted out 34-12 de- cision over Montana State and hopes to even up a score with Eastern Washington Saturday.

involving construction of new sew
ers; resurfacing of Is blocks of
streets. construction of new side
walks and curbs in the business
district and expansion of the city
water system.
In the storm sewer program, in
augurated as the start Of a program
aimed at relieving flooded conditions
caused by the towns outmoded drain
age network, new sewers were laid
on Cherry street from Mound street
to Big Riley creek, continuation of
the Franklin street sewer and a new
sewer on Spring street. Combined
cost of the two projects was in ex-
cess of $4,000.
Big Street Program
Resurfaeing of 35 blocks on Is
streets, the largest street repair
program in the towns history, cost
more than $4,000. In addition to the
re-surfacing project new curbs were
built in the downtown area and MANY
sections of walks were replaced in
the same district, including that in
front of the town hall building.
City water lines were extended to
the eastern boundary of the Sunny
Acres addition, bordered by Cherry
street and the County Line road,
giving water service and fire protec-
tion to all areas inside the corpora
ton. In the project 500 feet of new
lines were laid.
Expansion program of the mu-
nicipal light plant, launched two
years ago, also was completed during
the last summer, with a new 1000
XIV turbine being put on the line
in March, and new 600 HIP boiler
going into use in June. Cost of the
entire program was $225,000.
Home Building Spurts
Residential building, after sagging
in 1948 from postwar boom levels,
picked up again during 1949.
Indicative of the faster tempo of
home building, 10 new residences
were started here during the year,
in comparison with five started in
1948. In 1916 and 1947 there were
IA new homes each year, and the
1949 program definitely brought a
return of the building boom.
The towns major building project,
however, was on the Bluffton college
campus, where construction of new
S2SO,O00 gymnasium-auditorium was
started in July. 1t is expected that
the big structure soon will be under
roof, and use of some parts of the
building is scheduled for the next
school year. Robert Miller, Columbus
Grove, has the general contract.
So Million Program
Industrial expansion also has kept |
pace with the building program,
marked by the above listed improve
ments at the municipal light plant |
and at the large Central Ohio Light |
and Power Co. generating station in |
Bluffton.
A $2,O00,000 expansion program
was started by the Central Ohio |
utility in late spring, including the
construction of a 43 by 11O-foot
building addition; installation of a
fifth turbo-generator and new
boiler.
This tire third expansion pro-
Ject since Central Ohio Light and
Power Co. completed it's original
building here in 1887.
Retail business locations also kept
pace with the years tempo, with five
undergoing major remodelling pro-
lects, and seven others being painted |
and having minor remodeling work
included.
