The fortune teller's little crystal ball was cloudy last week, but still it was good for a perfect slate of guesses-four right and none wrong for the second straight time.
The overall "hits and misses" now read 28 right and six wrong for a .824 average.
But if you think the little ball was foggy last week, wait 'til you see the picks for this Saturday's games. Maybe I'll find out last week was just some of that "beginner's luck."
Come on, Swami, let's drag some more good guesses out of that little glass ball.
ARIZONA OVER KANSAS STATE: The southern 'Cats have the advantage. Arizona is tough on defense, despite their 2-5 record. They did not allow Missouri a point during the second half in falling, 17-7, a feat which no other team, except ninth-ranked Minnesota, can claim.
K-State, on the other hand, lost its 15th straight game, the seventh of the season, last week to KU. Employing a new "shotgun" offense, the northern Wildcats enjoyed their best offensive afternoon of the season, netting 14 first downs and 178 yards of total offense.
Nevertheless, the shotgun offense won't shoot down the vengeful southwestern Wildcats. Defense will be the deciding factor as Arizona wins by two touchdowns.
MISSOURI OVER COLORADO:
The Terrible Tigers get a rest this weekend.
This is Colorado's last conference game of the season. After losing to Oklahoma, 62-0, last weekend, Coach Bud Davis should be glad it's over—but bowing out against Missouri could leave a bad taste in his mouth.
CU can threaten Missouri only through the air. Frank Cesarek is runner-up in Big Eight passing with 634 yards, and ends John McGuire and Ken Blair are first and third in receptions.
Cesarek's air-to-air missiles are nothing compared to the bomb that Dan Devine's Tigers will drop on the Buffaloes. Missouri by six touchdowns.
OKLAHOMA OVER IOWA
STATE: Iowa State's offense, spear-
headed by quarterback-tailback
Dave Hopmann, total offense leader
in the Big Eight, and sophomore
fullback Tommy Vaughn, is better
than the OU defense—at least on
paper.
But Oklahoma has a much better line, perhaps good enough to whip the tough Missouri forward wall which it will face next weekend.
The OU pass defense will face a severe test while Hoppmann has the ball, but OU ranks fourth in the nation in that department, yielding only 62.3 yards per game.
Oklahoma by two touchdowns.
ARMY OVER OKLAHOMA STATE: The Cowboys are racked with injuries. Rod Replogle, Mike
Upton, Roddy Cutsinger, and Don Derrick—all starters—are listed as doubtful performers.
O-State will have little to offer the Mules but the Big Eight's leading passer, Mike Miller, who has completed 56 of 124 for 794 yards and six touchdowns.
Army, on the other hand, has lost only one game in six starts, an upset to Michigan. The Mules have done some upsetting, too, as a 9-2 win over Syracuse and a 9-6 win over the East's powerhouse, Penn State, are among the five wins.
This Saturday O-State will lose their fourth in a row, by three touchdowns.
KANSAS OVER NEBRASKA:
This is the real test of the Swami's powers.
Dennis Claridge, second in the conference in total offense, will supposedly sit this game out with a severely sprained ankle. Bill "Thunder" Thornton, who showed flashes of his old form against Missouri last week, also injured an ankle and is listed as a doubtful starter.
And the big question is who is going to be playing in the backfield for Nebraska.
Kansas, on the other hand, will probably miss the services of fullback Ken Coleman, who is nursing another hip pointer.
The Jayhawker offense will make the difference in this game, despite the fact that Nebraska will be out to avenge last week's loss. Sayers, McFarland, Baughman, Leiker, and Crandall, are just too many for the 'Husker defenders to keep their eyes on.
Kansas will win by a touchdown.
The Bets jumped off to an early lead in the first period, marching 60 yards in six plays for the initial score. Key play in this series was a 50-yard aerial bomb dropped on the DU's by Beta quarterback Morgan Metcalf, when he threw to center John McCormick on the DU 20-yard line.
Fraternity "A" Hill champions Beta Theta Pi will play Intramural "A" Hill champions JRPF (Joe's Rough Boys and Friends) today for the intramural touch football Hill Championship. Kickoff time is 4 p.m.
Beta Theta Pi won its fifth consecutive Fraternity title with its victory.
The Betas copped the Fraternity "A" crown by whipping Delta Upsilon, 16-6, while JRPF upset the Hot Dogs, Independent Division I champions, 14-7, for the Independent title. Both games were played yesterday.
Two plays later, Metcalf threw the scoring pass to end Jim Emerson, and Bob Swan added the extra point.
The DU's, however, struck quick-

THE FUN STARTS
SATURDAY
when quarterback Tom Hamill threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Mike Berkley. But Phil Harrison's conversion attempt went wide, and the Betas still led, 7-6.
The tough Beta secondary accounted for the second "Butt" score, which came seconds before the halftime intermission.
When Hamill attempted to pass to end Gene Shofner on the DU 25, Beta linebacker Dave Phillips snagged the errant pass and rambled into the end one. Swan again added the extra point, for a 14-6 Beta margin at the halftime intermission.
The stingy Beta defense took charge in the last half. Rusher Karli Kreutzig caught the DU quarterback Hamill in the end zone for a two-point safety in the third period to ice the Beta victory.
In second-round playoffs for the Fraternity "B" Hill championship yesterday, the Beta "Bees" rocked Phi Gamma Delta #2, 58-4, and Phi Gam #1 whipped Alpha Tau Omega, 46-6.
Having a Party?
The DU's mustered a final drive in the last quarter, but the winner's defensive secondary toughened and
the Betas took over the ball on downs.
