■■* 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.
