¶ Caught in a squeeze play between the potential power of a third league and the actual power of a Senate antitrust subcommittee, National League club owners, meeting in Chicago, expanded the circuit to ten teams by adding Houston and New York. The foot-dragging American League is also expected to vote new franchises (leading candidates: Dallas-Fort Worth and Minneapolis-St. Paul).

¶ Iowa kept its crown as the nation's No. 1 team by beating Purdue 21-14. An impregnable Minnesota defense rocked Michigan for five fumbles, paving the way for a 10-0 victory and the return of the Little Brown Jug to the Gophers for the first time since 1956. In a third Big Ten contest, Ohio State won easily over Wisconsin, 34-7. Top service teams routed the enemy, Army smothering Villanova 54-0, and Navy shutting out Penn 27-0. A third-period 30-yd. Harvard pass upset Dartmouth 9-6, preserving Crimson hopes for the Ivy League title.
