Yes, CD sports fans, once again
it's time for that weekly fiasco of
gridistic fumblings by those masters
of hindsight, the incorrigible
reprobates of page three. Once
again the slate features a majority
of toss-ups and once again the panel
of experts decidedly prognosticated
one-sidedly.
As usual, the ACC teams are
playing teams way over their calibre
this weekend. So, in order to avoid
a 10-0 slate against a conference
team, the peerless seers on the CD
staff decided to give Dook's Leo an
18-0 lead to make the pick more
inviting. But still only three
forecasters were sucked in as SID
Barney Cooke, TeeBell, and Sports
Editor Davis Marshall picked Leo
over the Mountaineers' 526 yards a
game. CD Managing Editor Fred
Heblich and DeCamps pick
Princeton over Dartmouth in the
token Ivy League game, but
Grimsley agrees with the 8-2
decision of the board that the
Indians' defense is better than
Princeton's.
In the close games the board
went 6-4 in favor of Virginia Tech
Unbeaten, united, eighth-ranked
Air Force is a 9-1, 18 point favorite
to defeat unbeaten, untied,
unranked Tulane but sportswriter
Tom Bell thinks the Green Wave
could pull a down-south upset. Will
Grimsley of the Associated Press
picked Missouri over Nebraska by
three, but only TeeBell agrees as
the board goes 9-1 in favor of a
Cornhusker massacre. The 3-point
odds are identical in the battle of
the Carolinas but the board prefers
"Our Boy Don" to Tom Cahill's
Gamecocks as Randy Wert is the
lone dissenter in a 9-1 decision.
