The upset, which ended Notre Dame's unbeaten streak of 13 games, was a repeat performance; in 1950 Purdue won 28-14, after the Irish had survived 39 straight. Other notable results: Army bounced back from last week's whipping by South Carolina, overran the Michigan Wolverines, 26-7; U.C.L.A.'s single-wing overpowered Maryland's split-T, 12-7.
