Virginia's Soccer Team Travels To College Park Today For NCAA Southern Regionals After 9-0-1 Record

Burris' Booters Face Defending Collegiate Champion Maryland In Rematch Of 2-2 Tie Earlier In Season

It was a weekend of upsets.

Tennessee, previously undefeated
and the number three team
in the nation, was mauled by three
time loser Mississippi, 38-0, in a
game that seemed to sum up the
weekend.

Other misfit games saw Princeton,
who had rolled up 51 points
against Harvard last Saturday, fall
to Yale 17-14 by a last minute field
goal. Harvard was whipped by
Brown, 24-17 in the first Ivy
League win Brown has had since
1967. North Carolina ripped Clemson,
32-15.

As a result of their win over
Princeton, Yale still remains in
contention for the Ivy League title.
If the gentlemen from Tigertown
are able to whip Dartmouth next
weekend, Yale will be able to
repeat last year's tie for the
championship by downing Harvard
in New Haven. As for other Ivy
results yesterday, Penn had to come
back from a 7-0 deficit at halftime
to beat winless Columbia, 17-7, and
Dartmouth rolled over a gutsy
Cornell, 24-7.

By virtue of Clemson's loss to
North Carolina, South Carolina
captured its first ACC football
championship in downing Wake
Forest, 24-6. Paul Dietzel's Carolina
team has gone 5-0 in the league and
had a relatively easy time in
handing the Demon Deacons their
sixth loss. Duke was blown out of
the Oyster Bowl to the tune of
48-12 by VPI. The "Hart" seemed
to have gone out of the Duke
attack, as they could only manage
to score in the first and final
periods. By whipping Clemson,
North Carolina has scored its best
season record in five years.

Elsewhere in the ACC, Houston
rocked home-standing N.C. State,
34-13, and hapless Maryland was
its worst loss in 28 years by
Penn State, 48-0.

Archie Manning proved himself
to be nothing short of magnificent
by leading his Ole Miss team to the
slaughter win over an equally
magnificent Tennessee. Touted as
the most powerful team ever to
come out of the SEC, the Volunteers
fell in its most lopsided loss
since 1923, when they were blanked
by Vanderbilt 51-0.

They still are the prime contenders
for the SEC title and almost
everybody's pick for a post season
Bowl bid. In other SEC games, 11th
ranked Auburn romped over
Georgia, 16-3, and Arkansas hung a
28-15 loss on SMU, to make it 14
wins in a row for the Arkansas team
over a two year period.
