UCLA defeated seventh-ranked Ore gon State. 26-7, and Texas stun ned ninth-ranked Arkansas, 17 0. Second-ranked Oklahoma, meanwhile, romped over Kansas, 47-0, for No. 44 in a row in a strong bid to reclaim the top ranking.

Michigan State 2-1 in the conference plays Illinois, 1-1. and Minnesota, 2-1, faces Michi gan. 1-1. Iowa and Ohio State, tied for the conference lead with 2-0 records, play Northwestern. 0-2. and Wisconsin, 1-1, respec tively.

The Blue Devils romped over Wake Forest, .34-7, Saturday while N. C. State played a scoreless tie with Miami, Fla., Friday night. Duke is 4-0 and N. C. State 3-0 in conference competi tion. In the Southwest conference, fourth-ranked Texas A&M, 1-0. plays Baylor, 0-1, in what could be the key game.

Princeton, knocked from the unbeaten ranks by Colgate. 12 10, but still 2-0 in Ivy league play, faces Cornell and prob ably will have to win to retain a share of the lead.

The Ducks meet California at Eugene this week following its skinny 14-13 win over Wash ington State Saturday at Pull man. The victory put the Ducks in first place in the conference standings and carried them a vital stride closer to the Rose Bowl, a never-never land for Oregon teams since 1917. They earned the win by throw ing a blanket-like defense against Washington State's vaunted pass ing attack. The Ducks in turn used passes at crucial points to keep control of the ball most of the game. Beavers Eye Husky Fray Corvallis IP A humiliated Oregon Slate squad drilled with new determination for its game with the University of Washing ton next Saturday. Over-confidence was blamed here for the Beavers' humiliating 26-7 defeat at the hands of UCLA Saturday. Sanders thus avenged UCLA's defeat last year by the Oregon State team coached by his form er assistant, Tommy Prothro, and taught his former pupil a lesson in defense. Bruin line backers knifed into the Beaver backfield repeatedly and spilled their running stars, oe Francis and Ernel Durden. For its own offense, UCLA called on the passing and run ning talents of tailback Don Long and used the booming kicks of Kirk Wilson who aver aged better than 50 yards per try to put Oregon State in the hole. Corvallis IP The Oregon State Beavers returned from Los Angeles and a 26-7 drubbing by UCLA Bruins offering no ex cuses. As Coach Tommy Prothro put it, they were simply out played. The Beavers suffered several casualties in Saturday's game. George Enderle, sophomore tackle, suffered a bad ankle sprain that may keep him out of action all week. Tailback ace Joe Francis, knocked uncon scious on a tackle play, was hav ing dizzy spells Sunday but trainer Bill Robertson said he thought it was only a tempor ary Malady. Dwayne Fournier received a sprained ankle, and a bruised leg and other ailments were also reported. Forslund Tops Pin Qualifying Portland "P Elen Fors lund.

The previous record was 261 j games set in 1931 in 61 1-2 hours at Maple Wood. Mo. Eaton fin ished in 49 hours, 45 minutes, but bowling officials indicated the difference in time was prob ably due to present day automat ic pin setters. Eaton, whose average was 161 per game, stopped bowling just long enough to eat doughnuts, ice cream and milk. He had start ed at 12:45 a.m. Friday, and fin ished early Sunday afternoon.

Husky Coach Jim Owens re fused to be more than just a lit tle gloomy ocr the fourth con secutive loss, taking cheer from the fact Washington was able to score more than one touch down for the first time this sea- son, that ''we can come back in ! the fourth quarter and score." 1 A homecoming crowd of 36.
