Sport: Conference Champs

Monday, Dec. 03, 1945

    • Most college football teams called it a season after last weekend's games, which settled most conference titles: Big Ten: Indiana—with a second-half, four-touchdown, 26-0 victory over Purdue. Runner-up: Michigan—with a 7-3 edge on Ohio State.

    Southern: Duke—too good (14-7) for North Carolina.

    Big Six: Missouri—in a 33-1? breeze past Kansas.

    "Ivy League": Pennsylvania—bouncing back from the Army massacre to swamp Cornell, 59-6. Runner-up: Columbia—outclassed by Penn but winner of its other eight games.

    Pacific Coast: still undecided—with Southern California (won 4, lost 1) the likely Rose Bowl opponent of Alabama (Army was not invited).
