TH E CLINTON CHRONICLE Clin ton, S. C n Thursday, September 19, 1968 FOOTBALL FORECAST By A. E. BROWN Week of September 21, 1963 The first big weekend of a new season of football is always diffi cult to predict, in spite of all the pre-season speculation. Highly touted teams often prove to be less than expected, and often f. om far beneath the pile come teams and players that surprise the leaders with an upset or a tie. In order even to attempt to guess the results Of these arly battles, the forecaster must base most of h s reasons for choosing one team to win out over another on pre- season polls, on material he has read in newspapers and maga zines, and, as often as not, on his own sporting intuition. As the season wears on, however, fore casting becomes easier as the various squads across the nation show their talents and individual players either live up to the promises their coaches have made, or they are injured, or they simply do not fulfill pre-sea son expectations. But the fore caster must always expect the un expected to occur, no matter how late in the season he makes his guesses. Several contests this Saturday are practically impossible to pre dict: Memphis State wants very badly to whip Ole Miss, but the chances are unlikely because of the sheer strength of the Missis sippi line;' Clemson may well be the equal of Oklahoma, but the Sooners finished strong last year and are equipped with most of their starting men left over from 1962; Florida State is strong enough to whip Miami, but all- around threat George Mira is a tough man to stop; West Vir ginia has excellent chances to take the Southern Conference crown this season, and the Moun taineers may just give Navy a beating; Oregon is said to be stronger than Penn. State, but the Nittany Lions should prove to be better scorers this week; Maryland is looking for a Con ference championship, and there is no better method to obtain it than beating nigged N. C. State at the beginning of the campaign in a game that is virtually a toss- up; the remaining games on the list should go easily as chosen this week, but one can never tell. TECHNICAL DATA Twenty games are chosen each week; the first games on the list are selected from the Top Ten teams in the nation as selected by the major news service polls; next are teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and teams of local interest; and the last team each week is picked because of its ability to become one of the leaders, even though it has not yet reached the higher ranks. Teams expected to win are on the left side of the column, with the expected score placed beside them and a space left blank for the reader to Insert the actual score of the game; teams expect ed to lose are on the right-hand side of the column, with the same spaces provided. , At the bottom of the column there will appear sets of boxes which will indicate, after the first week, the number of games won, the percentage of games won, the number of games lost, the per centage of games lost, the num ber of ties and the percentage of ties. There will be two sets of these boxes; one for the cumula tive average as the season pro gresses: and one for the present week, which the reader can fill in if he wishes. Ties are counted separately, rather than as j game won and a game lost, sim ply because such a procedure gives a far clearer indication of the number of games played; ties of course, cannot ,be predicted, which makes the method chosen here even more logical. The scores chosen actually do not mean very much; it is the point spread between two teams that is important. Full scores j are given as a guess that a given team will probably build up thai: many points against its opponent i for that week.
