tDuC&t7fMc64' By Chuck Mitchelmore ■■* Emerald Sports Editor wmm It looks like another ordinary week for predicting toot hall games, and once again we mean the “ordinary" type week that has been so rare in this year's gridiron action. Last weekend was unusual for this season, with only one or two “upsets of the year" marring the performance of the favorites. And this Saturday looks to be about the same, just average football, (a good statement which has been made before all of those strange weekends this year.) There just aren't many tossups around the country, and the Kmerald experts keep on hanging together on picking favorites, and going dow n the drain as a group when the underdogs pull the plug every Saturday (as they have been doing with alarming regularity this year). Still No Splits on the Coast This week we managed to split them up a tritle with a scattering of Big Ten and Southwest picks, but when it comes to the Pacific Coast, they’re huddled together like the snowbound Washington State eleven. Despite the slush at Pullman contrasted with Eugene’s sunny skies and the Cougars’ louder and louder wail for a win, everybody from seer to shining look-see picks Ore gon once again, which can mean four in a row for the same Ducks that received pre-season condolences. Meanwhile, hack at the farm, Oregon State's bandaged Beavers are expected to have little trouble from an even more tired Idaho crew. Taylor Optimistic Again Cheerful Charles Taylor, who does some surprising things with Stanford football when he’s not making optimistic comments, claims that his Indians can do something with “everything" CSC. if things go right. But Taylor seems to be shouting in an empty room again (which didn’t hurt him too much before the Cards stopped Ohio State). At Berkeley a couple of clubs who have had their coaches hanged in effigy will try to get off the hook, but it looks like the “de-emphasized” California Bears don’t have enough emphasis left to take care of Washington’s mis treated Huskies. The only problem in following UCLA to Stockton is in attempting to guess how high the score, despite an injured I*< b Davenport and a College of Pacific bunch that has established a reputation as “meanies." Utah Outlook Black Outside the conference a couple of ex-Oregon opponents •are tangling in Boulder, but it looks bad for Utah, which bad been gaining speed until Wyoming tripped it two weeks ag". Colorado seems to have just too much, despite losses to Oklahoma and Missouri in its last two outings. Texas A & M should be interesting against Southern Methodist, and Rice-Arkansas provides a little division in the ranks, but the most of the prognosticators don’t seem to think that the Minnesota team that upset USC last week is for real—against Iowa, at least. Last week's action paired off the pickers in percentage brackets, but the unnamed sports editor, this week too bumble to mention his name, enjoyed eight out of ten prosperity and slipped up to a tie for last place after his lonely sojourn in theTellar last week. Down to Business But on to the predictions, where Editor Rice found the wind blowing the wrong way, the assistants upped their averages a bit, while Redoubtable Robinson and Fearless Folly Claussen joined bands and stepped gaily into second place. The sports editor? When last seen, he was mumbling happily as he tore the brightly colored beads off his new abacus and hurled them at week number seven of Emerald predictions. OKF.CO.V v». WSC .
