Increasing; the predicted games to ten. a favorable \\ orld Series result (for three of us) and a mistake combined to boost the Emerald experts’ averages last weekend, but fired up Utah. Stanford and Otterbeiu teams kept better scores just out of grasp. The addition of enough games to make an even ten brought the overall accumulative average up from a glitter ing .381 to a brilliant .519. “Swami" Wilson led the parade to higher figures with a sky-scraping .588, including a perfect pick of the series and a sheer-luck guess on the Otterbein-Oberlin mystery game. Onlv a non-conference choice of Oregon over \\ ashing ton and the standard pick of Missouri over l tah kept \\ il son from a perfect weekend. Utah Thwarts Experts The Utah upset threw the entire staff, which gave Mis souri a unanimous vote. ‘Tearless holly Claussen s mys terv game saw Otterbein's Cardinals, sparked by a new coach, drop Oberlin’s Yeomen, 19-14. to the displeasure of Oberlin’s 27-year veteran coach and five of the experts. This week Editor Rice pulled Brandeis versus Bates out of a battered rooter's lid. and the predictors are ofF and running again. The “Judges" of Brandeis will be re membered for yielding 469 yards to Boston college in their first season tilt, giving the Eagles national superior ity in the single game offense race. Ex-sports editor Bob Robinson, who has acquired no knickname as vet, is already out searching the schedules to get his alliterative confuser for next week. Mistake Costs Upset Pick Robbie also claims to be the upset expert, although a check of last week's predictions won’t prove it. He put Stanford six points better than Ohio State, but in copying the picks, we reversed it. and he missed his moment of glory. The Stanford surprise caught many unaware, but only two of the experts stuck with Cheerful Chuck Taylor and the Indians in their second venture into Big Ten com petition this week. As for real upset opportunities, no one stuck his neck out far enough to rate Oregon State above UCLA. As Bruin publicity director Vic Kelley points out. the Beavers are one of the very few unbeaten and unscored upon teams in the nation, and could end up, amazingly enough, in the Rose Bowl if they could dispatch Ronnie Knox and friends and win remaining games with all Northwest clubs and Cal. Tossups Seen But on to the so-called “standard" picks, which include some head-scratchers this time. If Michigan against Armv at Ann Arbor isn’t enough to scare the prognosticators, Notre Dame versus Miami of Florida ought to come close. The Wolverines are out to get their first victory over the Don Hollender-led Cadets after five fruitless efforts. At Coral Gables it will be the Hurricanes, who took care of eight opponents last year with the ease of their femin ine namesakes, trying Terry Brennan’s Fighting Irish. And as a topper we have unbeaten Washington against unbeaten Southern California right here in the Northwest.

LOUIS Wt Frank Lane, who recently resigned a similar job with the Chicago White Sox. was given a three-year contract Thursday as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. At the same time, August A. Busch, president of the Cardinals, announced that Dick Meyer, the ' retiring general manager and a top executive of the Anheuser Busch brewer headed by Busch, has been named executive vice president of the Cardinals. Busch said that Lane would be given “full authority as general man ager" and would have full re sponsibility for carrying out Car dinal policies. Busch said he and his asso ciates had talked with the r>9 year-old Lane at great length ! and "as a result I can say we have as fine an understanding of each other as is possible for men who talk openly and frank ly with all of their curds on the table." Anticipating that newsmen would ask whether Lane would be given full authority, Busch said he would try to answer the question by saying "the answer is a simple Yes." Meyer told him some time ago, Busch said, that the time re quired by his duties as a brew ery executive left him too little time to devote to his Cardinul duties. Meyer suggested then that the Cardinal front office and minor league system be reorganized and that "the best man available any in the country” be hired as gen eral manager for the club. Busch said he and his asso ciates looked carefully but were unable to find a man so qualified until Lane became available through his resignation from the Chicago club. "Here, we felt, was a man who did meet our standards " Busch 3aid.
