With
I finally beat my way down into the basement, picking
my way through dead bodies, and broken beer bottles, and
found the old Ouija Board. My next task was to find Bob
Lienert. This was not so easy, but my Indian blood caino
through, and I finally tracked him ((own.
So, as I promised last week, and the week before, today
we have some more of our predictions for you. Our average
should be higher than it is, but Lienert is a stubborn fellow,
and just won't listen to what I tell him. Some of these 1 like.
others 1 don't, but 1 am not the type to argue, so he got his
.way.
After a two-weeks rest we're back again trying to pick
the winners in Saturday's pigskin parade. These predictions
go along weeK alter week regardless of lack of space, mis
understandings, and other editorial mishaps. Last week's pre
dictions turned out fairly well, with 19 hits, 8 misses, and 1 tie
game. Breaking down our seasonal average of :7"8 we find
that we have picked 72 winners, missed 2:5 times, and had
tie giinies which are disregarded. But getting down to the
business at band, we'll pick a few winners and hope that t lie
dope bucket doesn't get kicked over too many times.
Holy Cross over Cornell: Holy Cross started the season
with one of those "informal'' teams, but ?t present they have
one of the smoothest outfits in the east.
Army over Columbia: How else could we pick it?
Xavv over I'enn State: - Wow! Can those sailors pluv
football
Penn over Lakchurst Navy: After blasting a strong Dart
mouth team, 1 enn shouldn t have any trouhle m getting
through this weekend.
Colgate over Rochester: A close game, with a weak vote
for Colgate from this corner.
Villanova over Bucknell: Merely a shot in the dark.
Indiana over Iowa: The speed and passing perfection
which the Iloosiers displayed here last Saturday impressed us
no little bit. We will also take time out here to predict that
'Hunchy-' lloernscheineyer will cop the top honors in the
nassin? bracket.
Minnesota over Camp (irant: Though the Gophers
weren't in action last week, which might cause them lo be a
liltle rustv. thev should beat the soldiers very handily.
Pitt over Illinois: Shauirhnessv seems to be brewing his
"T" a little stronger nowadays.
(ireat Lakes over Northwestern: By not more than one
touchdown.
Purdue over Ohio. State: The Boilermakers get a chance
to make up for the defeats that Ohio State has been hanging
on them the last several years.
Texas over Arkansa: Arkansas loses some more of its
skin.
Notre Dame over Wisconsin: Three cheers for the
Fiehtin' Irish. Moral: Never, never bet against Notre Dame
while Bertclli is still in the fold.

the nation gets our wholehearted vote to top Mixzou, whic
hasn't done too well un to date.
Oklahoma over Tulsa: (James like this one are the ones

V. M. I. over Kichmond: Considered by many to be

competition.
Duke over North Carolina: The Blue Devils do it again.
(And we pick them to go right on doing it.)

Remuddling
With the advent of the Iowa
State Cyclone game, the 1943
Cornhuskers will make their
debut int. the Big Six conference
race. In the past, the Huskers
have always entered into the
fray heavy favorites. This year
is a little different story. A draft
depleted, service denied Scarlet
win begin us conference season
an out and out underdog.
So far the Lewandosguys have
made a pretty poor record, but
that was to be expected. The
Huskers were green, inexperi
enced and outmatched. We knew
it, and they knew it. With those
past two set-tos in the dark.
dark past, things are likely to be
a little different. Coach Lewan
dowski, altho hampered by in
juries, has been able to test the
mettle of his squad and re
arrange the team to make it a
better and a winning unit. If a
winning and fightin' complex can
now be developed among the lads.
the future of the Scarlet may not
be so. glum.
Playing center for the Cyclones
will be Carter Kokjer, an old high
school buddy, ex-Husker, and evi
dently a good man. Last Satur
day against the strong and rough
Iowa Seahawks, "Kok" played 60
minutes of rough, tough football.
He received special commendation
from his coach for bang-up play
in the line.
You can't imagine how ancient
and decrepit that makes me feel.
I can remember when Carter used
to carry the water bucket on the
high school team that I used to
play on. It s a small old world.
A slight pause for student iden
tification, please.
I am glad to hear that the!
men s intramural sports program
is going to be carried on this
year. Even in the face of the
draft there are enough reservists
ar.d 4-F boys, not to mention the
1-Cers, left around to make things
interesting. Altho it might be
slightly confusing In determining
who won what, since some of the
smaller fraternities are joining
forces to make complete teams,
it will probably be as good a sea
son for intramurals as ever before.
Football, basketball, ping pong.
handball, water polo, bowling and
track will round out a pretty full
schedule for the campus sand-
loters. With the army, and the
men's intramurals, not to mention
me temaies, this ought to be a
pretty sporty old place thruout
the year.
It might be stated right here
and now that the girls have been
having some bang-up soccer and
speedball games, and I do mean
bang up. If you should see the
lady fair hobbling around on
crutches, think nothing of it, boys.
