NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Notre Dame and Texas stood out today as the most serious challengers of the Army's two-year reign in the college football domain after a weekend filled with surprises.
The fighting Irish opened their bid for national honors by whipping a strong Illinois team, 26-6, Saturday and should hurdle the second step this week against Pittsburgh at South Bend.
Texas followed up its 42-0 conquest of Missouri by overwhelming Colorado, 76-0. The Longhorns must face Oklahoma A & M on the Texas turf this week.
The Aggies saw a 20-game winning streak come to an end in a 21-21 tie with Arkansas Saturday, but still look powerful enough to give the Longhorns their first real test.
Army, hard pressed to beat Oklahoma, 21-7, with Doc Blanchard on the bench, catches Cornell, 21-0 conqueror of Bucknell, in its third game at West Point.
Navy, which opened with a 7-0 triumph over Villanova, move in against Columbia, which stopped Rutgers, 13-7, and Colgate invade Yale, 33-0 winner over the Merchant Marine Academy.
