coupla’ more weekends like the last one (three pre-

selections for us. ; r t y i |
I , This might not be a bad idea anyway since two of this
week’s prize winners, Mrs. Dorothy Keeling and Robert L.
Jones, took their second consecutive awards. Remarkably
consistent when compared with “Roundin’ It Up” forecast
averages, eh ?
We aren’t exactly bustin’ any buttons off our shirts from
expanding our chests (or reasonable facsimales thereof) ov
er our average on predictions—but we’re probably as well off
as most sports forecasters, at that., *

Ugh! a glance at our falling weekly average is almost
enough to cause us to remove ourselves from this predicting
business—particularly after seeing that this week we have
to choose between Texas and SMU in one tilt and TCU and.
Baylor in still another. j
