Last week the fortune teller's little crystal ball was right on the money.
Four right and none wrong equals a 100 per cent effort for this rookie's first week of forecasting. But the prognosticator picked up a few gray hairs during the first half at Stillwater.
This week, however, the fortune teller's little crystal ball is pretty cloudy, especially when it is rubbed and asked what will happen in Lincoln. Nebraska this weekend.
The overall "hits and misses" now stand at 24 right and 6 wrong, for an even .800 average.
It doesn't say a thing. Crystal breaks, you know, so I'm bound to pick up a few more gray hairs this time around.
MISSOURI OVER NEBRASKA:
Yes, I did this on my own — the crystal ball is not to blame. Missouri has a line that gets progressively better each weekend — and it was supposed to be the toughest one in the Big Eight at the outset of the season.
This line last week held the volatile Iowa State offense to six points. Dave Hoppmann's score was the first touchdown on the ground scored on the Tiger forward wall this season—and it came with five seconds left to play against the Tiger third-teamers.
And the Tiger backfield, bolstered by the return of last year's starting fullback Andy Russell and a conference sophomore standout Johnny Roland. can't be overlooked.
On the other hand, Nebraska has ripped through its first five games without a loss (Missouri is undefeated, but was tied by Minnesota, 0-0), and has averaged 31.3 points per game.
The Tigers will have to watch Nebraska quarterback Dennis Claridge the Big Eight's total offense leader with 897 vards.
But the Missouri defense will make the difference, in spite of the fact that the Huskers will be playing at home. MU by one touchdown.
IOWA STATE OVER OKLAHOMA STATE AFTER 1980
Anyway, the men with the money
are saying Iowa State by three points.
Iowa State's offense, somewhat stifed by Missouri's tough forward wall last weekend, will be itching to bust loose, and the O-State defenders will have to be on the lookout for Iowa State tailback-quarterback Dave Hoppmann.
The Cyclones are 1-3 in conference play and virtually out of the Big Eight race. Oklahoma State stands 1-2 in the Big Eight, and will be out to avenge last week's loss to Kansas.
The O-State passing combination of Mike Miller, the league's best passer with 664 yards to his credit, and Don Karns, the third best receiver, bear watching by the Cyclone defense.
But the Cowboys will fade in the second half as they did last week, and Iowa State will win by a touchdown.
OKLAHOMA OVER COLORADO:
In years past, the altitude at Boulder has bothered the Sooners, but they should breathe free and easy while routing the gasping Buffaloes.
CU has the two best pass receivers in the league in John McGuire and Ken Blair, who have caught passes for 298 and 275 yards respectively, and the third best passer in the Big Eight, Frank Cesarek, who has thrown for 573 yards.
But Colorado hurts defensively, and this is Oklahoma's strong point. Two other OU strong points, Joe Don Looney and Jim Grisham, should be enough to riddle the CU line and win by four touchdowns.
KANSAS OVER KANSAS STATE
Regardless of the odds, which now stand at about 100-to-1 against the Wildcats, Doug Weaver's crew should be fired up for this one.
The Jayhawkers, on the other hand, might have trouble getting enthused about the trip to Manhattan. But co-captain Ken Tiger's return to the starting lineup should spark the Hawkers once they hit Aggie territory.
And maybe Gale can rack up 300 this week.
Kansas by five touchdowns.
Sparked by solid defensive play in the opening minutes of the game, Delta Upsilon struck for two quick touchdowns and then coasted to a 20-0 win over Sigma Phi Epsilon yesterday.
This win boosted Delta Upsilon's season record to 5-0, gave them undisputed possession of the Fraternity "A" Division II championship and placed them in the winners' bracket of the fraternity Hill championship playoffs which begin Friday.
The DUs scored on the fourth play of the game when Buddy Evans took a punt and then orbited a 58-yard pass to Bob Sorem for a touchdown. Phil Harrison kicked the extra point.
On the Sig Ep's next offensive play, linebacker Fred Bolick intercepted a stray pass and returned the ball 18 yards to the Sig Ep two yard line. DU quarterback Tom Hamill then threw to Sorem for the second touchdown and Harrison again added the conversion.
During the last three quarters, however, the battle was fought to a standstill, as the "off-and-on" DU offensive machine failed to find the range.
DU's Rip Sig Eps, Take Division Title
At the same time, Sigma Phi Epsilon mounted several offensive drives, but the mobile, hard-nosed DU defense kept the Sig Eps at bay and they could get no closer than the DU 10 yard line.
Four University of Kansas footballers were named by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as candidates for All-America honors today.
Senior quarterback Rodger McFarland, sophomore halfback Gale Sayers, senior end Pack St. Clair, and senior guard Ken Tiger, were listed with 18 other Big Eight stand-outs for the honors.
4 Hawks Listed for All-America Honor
A total of nine backs and 13 line-
men were named.
Oklahoma and Missouri each had five players listed, KU had four, Nebraska and Oklahoma State had three each, and Iowa State and Colorado each had one.

Delta Upsilon found the range on the final play of the game, however, when Hamill fired a 28-yard strike to end Gene Shofner in the Sig Ep end zone. Harrison's conversion attempt was wide and game ended, 20-0.
Pairing were drawn yesterday by the six teams who will compete in the Fraternity "A" Hill championship Playoffs.
