PP Does It! Picks Oregon By FREHTIGF.OUH PROGNOSTICATOR I'm back again and still wondering why I abandoned the Ducks last weekend. Twice I’ve put the Ducks on the short end of the score and both times they made me wonder why I'm in this business. Sometimes you just don’t get any cooperation. Last week 1 came up with 18 right and 10 wrong for a .095 percent age. It may not seem very high but it’s better than the .513 of the previous week. I still have a headache from that. I’m only .030 for the year—but batting slumps always end. I’m still great. Heck, Ted Williams himself would he proud of my average. But watch—these picks will put me above the .700 mark. OREGON 1 OVER Washington. After Oregon's last two wins over Stanford and Air Force I’m not going to sell the Ducks short this time. The Webfoots have found winning ways and their chances are enhanced by Washington’s loss of two key players. The Huskies will be playing without Don Moore, the conference’s leading rusher, and I’tul Cope, their leading receiver. But Washington is always tough, especially when they play Oregon, as previous meetings between the two have shown. UCLA 3 over California. Cal won a big one over Washington last week for their second conference win without a loss but Tommy Prothro’s explosive Bruins have too much offense in the Gary Beban Mt’l Farr combo. You can bet the Bruins aren't taking Cal lightly USC BY 14 over Clemson. Southern Cal has a string of three con ference victories in a row and should prove too much for Clemson. USC is in a head to head battle with UCLA for the Rose Bowl and for national ranking. So they won't want to blow this one. OREGON STATE 6 over Arizona State. Arizona State has a 3 2 tecord and upset Brigham Young last week, hut Oregon State has found a new quarterback in sophomore Steve Prcecc Preece has taken over for Paul Brothers and could provide the consistency at quarterback that the OSU offense needs. He led the Beavers to a win over Utah last week and should do the same against ASU. ILLINOIS 3 over Stanford This promises to lie another close —-1 Big 10 -AAWU interconfcrence contest. The Illim dropped their first three but then upset Ohio State and beat Indiana. They seem to be a more solid team than the Indians who have lost two straight. AIR FORCE 3 over Colorado State. Another of the close ones that are characteristic of this week's schedule. The Falcons had a bad day against Oregon but i they will bounce back and regain the form which led them to wins | over Washington and Navy. They still have one of the nation's finest defenses, allowing an average of only a touchdown per game. MICHIGAN STATE 4 over Pur I due. Thi* is probably the na-i tion’s top game — between two nationally Tanked* Big Ten teams. Number two ranked MSU is seeking its second consecutive Big Ten title and would like noth-; ing better than to dim the Rose Bowl hopes of Purdue. They will be primed for this one and have too much power for the Boiler-; makers. NOTRE DAME 4 over Okla homa. Oklahoma has improved steadily throughout the season but they’ll need to pull a rabbit out of their helmets to beat the j nation's number one ranked team. When these two teams meet any thing can happen so it should be close. (Continued on page 7) ^1\t Colley special...

A Poet's View of A Football Game Neath a tempered sun, on an autumn day, a football game gets under way. The stands are packed, all warmly dressed. Wagers are placed on scores yet guessed. There’s the usual sound, from the usual crowd. The lovely cheer squad (so well endowed). Pop corn and peanuts and soda pop too, there’ll be an awful mess when this day is through. THE KICK OFF! the waiting ends. One group will attack, the other defend. Across one hundred yards of lined off space the football warriors bravely race. Through the center or around right end, or maybe a pass, it all depends. A play begins. A flag is dropped. A whistle blows, and the clock is stopped. And many more plays, all much the same, but all a part of a football game. The Anal gun announces the end. Momentary enemies are once more friends. The crowd is exuberant, though cold and wet, and I’m exuberant too beside my TV set. —Lynn Bond IUHIUUiiiMMMtlitU(HlliillWnUfKiRinillUlliMniFWII(fil8IMflltMWMIQBill(iiUJ Emerald SPORTS FRESHMEN: VOTE FOR MARK Schiveley for Frosh CLASS PRESIDENT First Duck Since Dickson Snow Makes Majors Former Oregon pitcher Robbie Snow joined the Boston Red Sox major league baseball team Wednesday—and became the first Web foot since Jim Dickson to gain that level of competition. Snow, who graduated as a senior in 1B64, led the Class A Carolina league in victories during the 1866 season, posting a 20-2 mark with his Winston-Salem Club. The southpaw led the Oregon team with a 1.35 earned run average his sophomore year and then was named to the All-Northern division squad his junior year and to All-Coast his senior year. He made the major leagues in a 16 man player shake-up that sent an equal number of players in and out of the Red Sox' major league organization. Dickson left the Webfoots as a freshman in 1950, and has been a relief pitcher on about eight major league clubs. "GROOMING AS YOU LIKE IT" TO GET IT !! Dial 343-3931 for appointment.
