LONG RANGE PREDICTIONS
Any number of "experts" sharpen their pencils for a program
of week to week predictions concerning the outcome of football
encounters but the champion prognosticator of all is the fellow
who edits a pamphlet issued by Athletic Publications, Minnea
polis. A copy of the pamphlet was turned over to us by Charley
McElhinny, local insurance broker. The auditor of the Booklet lists
his predicted scores for every Saturday beginning Sept. 17 and
extending through December 3. For next Saturday his crystal
ball says that Oregon will beat Washington and Oregon State will
trim Idaho, Minnesota will beat Iowa, in the man's opinion while
Notre Dame will down Michigan State, All sounds reasonable!
enough at this writing. Nevertheless its constitutes pretty fair i
long range operations,
HUMAN AFTER ALL
Just to show that the expert is human, he comes up with I
a few sour guesses. For example he picked Oregon over D, C, I
L. A., Washington over O. 3, C, Oregon over Iowa, Minne
sota over Michigan, Minnesota over Purdue and Stanford over
Santa Clara, As for Notre Dame he goes right down the line
selecting the Irish to beat every opponent they face through
December 3 when they play Southern Methodist. His predic
tions In connection with the three big games ot the Pacific
Coast conference of November 19 favor Oregon over Oregon
State, Stanford over California and Washington over Wash
ington State. He admits that the Stanford-Cat game may de
velop Into an npset insofar s his predictions are concerned,
DON'T LIVE RIGHT
After spending two deer hunting seasons without having a
thance to pull a trigger, Tom Holman, one of Emil Siek'i hired
men, had one of the animals step onto the road in front of him
the other night, Tom couldn't do a thing about it except stop his
ear and return stare for stare with the deer finally wandered
way. Even if Tom had had his rifle it would have done no good
for the season had long since closed.
ASTORIA-SALEM FEUD
A feud that has been waged over considerable period of
years, on a varlrty of subjects, including the advantages ot
living In their respective communities, will blossom anew
this week-end at Astoria. The Salem Vikings and the Astoria
Fishermen, Innocent bystanders In the feud between Mayor
Bob Elfstrom of this community and Mayor Orville Eaton of
the lower Columbia metropolis, will settle the latest argu
ment on the football field. The two clubs stage their annual
clash on the Astoria gridiron with the winners receiving a
handsome trophy. It must be won three times straight for
permanent possession.
VIKSHAD EDGE
Up until last year when Salem won, 2S to 13, the Fishermen
hadn't scored a single point against the Vikings for five years.
Astoria has a much stronger squad this season and yearns for
revenge. During the past 10 seasons, Salem had won seven times.
There have been no ties. Mayor Bob plans to be In Astoria for this
ear's encounter.

championship last season, was
the overwhelming choice of the
baseball writing fraternity
which voted in the Associated
Press poll.
Stengel grabbed 101 ot tbe
116 votes cast. Only four oth
