FOOTBALL—PENN "SINKS" NAVY, 28-7: PHILADELPHIA - With unexpected ease, spotless Penn rambles over Navy, with an impressive demonstration of grid strength before 66,000 fans. Bagnell's 74-yard run back is the thrill play of the game. / MICHIGAN TOPS MINNESOTA: ANN ARBOR - Confounding the experts and baffling the heavier Gophers of Minnesota, the Michigan Wolverines rally to a 14-7 victory. Ortman's generalmanship and passing pace the victor. / ARMY ROUTS COLUMBIA, 63-6: WEST POINT - In one of the worst defeats it ever handed another team, the Cadet gridders swarm over hapless Columbia Lions with a nine-touchdown barrage. Even the second-stringers add to the lop-sided score of 63-6. (LOCAL – CANADA) CANADIANS TRIM LEAFS. (LOCAL – CANADA) BARBARA SCOTT STARS IN ICE EXTRAVAGANZA.
