By Lonesome George
My batting average jumped from .657 last week to 750 this week as I missed only five of 20 selections this week. I started the week with 21 winners picked for weekend games but Colorado State and Denver decided not to play their Saturday contest with a foot and a half of snow blanketing the gridiron.
The amazing thing was that I didn't miss a Big Eight pick, having Kansas over Boston, Missouri over Iowa State, Oklahoma over Colorado, Nebraska over Oregon State and Oklahoma State over Kansas State.
MY ONLY MISSES this week came as Illinois beat Army, Southern Methodist dumped Navy, Houston surprised Cincinnati, Minnesota upset Indiana and Purdue whacked favored Notre Dame.
Other wins, surprising to most crystal ball gazers which were not surprises to me, were Northwestern over Iowa, Arkansas over Texas Christian, Southern Cal over Ohio State and a score of others.
Before I go any farther, I would also like to discredit rumors that I and the other George connected with this newspaper are one and the same. The editorial page George is not lonesome. Even if he was he has no reason to be since he is married and has a dog.
At any rate, I'm ready to stick my neck on the chopping block again this week and name the winners for all you good students who faithfully waste your money each week on the parley cards.
I SEE KANSAS over Nebraska. The Jayhawker sophomore backfield corps may have looked ragged to some Kansas City sportswriter, but to me they looked better than most sophs have ever looked. The rookies will probably get better sun-
port from the upperclassmen this Saturday than they did in trouncing Boston U. here the other day and Kansas may have found its passing quarterback in Lee Flachsbarth.
Nebraska has upset both Minnesota and Oregon State in its past two games and although the Huskers are strong, I think the Jays will be ready for them. Besides, I still have that old school spirit and with a possible trip to the Orange Bowl in sight, that old spirit is ready to voice itself on any and every occasion.
In other Big Eight games I see Iowa State over South Dakota, Colorado over Kansas State, Southern Methodist over Missouri in a Friday night game, Texas over Oklahoma in a game slated to be played at Dallas, and Oklahoma State over Tulsa. The Kansas-Nebraska and Colorado-Kansas State games are the only conference battles scheduled.
I ALSO SEE North Texas State over Cincinnati. Indiana over Marquette, Iowa over Michigan State, Northwestern over Minnesota, Purdue over Wisconsin, Wichita over George Washington, Arkansas over Baylor and Air Force over Idaho. Penn State over Army, Syracuse over Navy, Vermont over Hobart, Georgia Tech over Tennessee, Louisiana State over Miami, Mississippi State over Arkansas State, and North Carolina over South Carolina.

RIPLEY, England — (UPI) — Regulars at the Three Horseshoes pub have fixed a metal plaque to the bar honoring Jack Bowden, 77. Bowden, they said, has come to the pub twice a day, seven days a week, for nearly 20 years. Every time, he stands at that same spot at the bar and never has sat down.
