In 1952 the South Dakota school played Nebraska (0-46), Augustana, North Dakota, Omaha, Morningside, South Dakota State, Iowa Teachers, and North Dakota State. Their 4-3-1 record, while not earthshaking, looks better than the Cyclones' 3-6 mark last year, but which of the seven other South Dakota foes have ever been in the honorable mention class in grid polls in the last seven or eight years?
The men from the tall corn land ran into a good eleven Saturday Northwestern, but the Wildcats are not rated anywhere in the same class as the UCLAns. The first Iowa State game, a 35-0 whitewash over South Dakota at Ames, Iowa, must be taken with a grain of salt.
Northwestern last year did little better in over-all averages, finishing with 2-6-1, but the caliber of Big Ten ball admittedly is quite a bit better than that on the South Dakota schedule. What would the Wildcats have done with a slate of games like that listed above?
The Iowa State Cyclones have a strange record so far this season in football—one win, one loss, 35 points for, and 35 against.
KU, on the other hand, in games with a Southwest conference power and with UCLA, pride of the West coast and rated one of the five best teams in the nation, has garnered but seven points to its opponents' 32.
All of which is brought out to show that Iowa State, while looking good against its first enemy, and playing dead against Northwestern, has not met an outfit that anywhere compares to the likes of Texas Christian or UCLA.
In this column last week we went out on a limb and predicted results of all the Big Seven contests. We found out this morning, after a quick check, that our record was four correct, one wrong, and one tie game, which we'll count as half right and half wrong. Missouri horsed up the works by upsetting Purdue, our wrong pick, and Nebraska tied with Illinois (we picked the Illini), but otherwise we were pretty lucky.
Bare figures such as these might make a bystander quickly grab any bet on the Iowa team for this weekend's game at Lawrence, but these statistics only prove the fallacy of statistics.
Therefore, since Grantland Rice, Stanley Woodward, et al. picked all-American teams months ago, we will hop right back in the fire and guess at the outcomes on this week's games.
First off, after all the hemming and hawing about the Iowa State bunch, we confidently will take our Jayhawkers over the Cyclones. Now this is real foolish, but let's go all the way and say by 19 points. As for next week's Colorado clash. . .
We expect Oklahoma to rebound from the Notre Dame loss and take Pittsburgh to the cleaners. In one that could easily go either way we'll string along with cagey Don Faurot and take his MU Tigers over Colorado by a minute margin, and pick Nebraska over K-State without much trouble.
Kansas City, Mo. — (U.P.) The Toledo Sox evened the American association final playoff at three games, including a victory in creating the Kansas City Blues, 4 to 2.

with a 2-run first frame, but the Sox won the contest with a 3-run outburst in the fourth, and added an insurance run in the seventh.
Bob Wiesler, Kansas City's ace of the playoffs, and Murray Wall, Toledo's fireball right-hander, draw the assignment of winning the "big one."
The Blues got off to a fast start last night with Jim Bridewes hitting a triple and scoring on Alex Grammas' high fly to left.
Bill Skowron followed with an infield hit, and Bob Cerv belted another triple to score Skowron. Jim Robertson, Blues' catcher led off the second with a single and that was all for Sox starting pitcher Dick Hoover.
Billy Reed led off for the Sox in their fourth inning, and Mel Queen followed with a 3-bagger, scoring Reed. Luis Marquez hit another triple scoring Queen, and scored himself on a long fly by Jack Cerin.
