When all three classes swung Into
action the following week, he hit three

semifinals saved hl* neck when, he

But those finals are the payoff. The
Parader picked Watonga to beat Oke-
mah and they did. but Hennessey did
not beat Grandfield for the class B
title, and Chickasha did not beat Mus-
kogee in the class A finale.
For the record, the Parader has
picked the championship game only
once in five years! He picked Classen
to beat Tulsa Central in 1944 but has
missed the last four in a row. It might
be added that he has been right only
twice on the Classen-Central contest
In the same number of years.
The 1948 season wound up with
only two undefeated teams in the state.
Grandfield's class C champions 11 in

-------------Year’s Top Grid Oddity-------------
Denver Tailor Has to Give
Fans 412 Suits of Clothes
\
RTEW YORK. Dec. 16—(4»)—The football fans got smart and furnished
IN the sport's big oddity of 1948.
Harry Bitman, a Denver tailor, offered a free suit to anybody who
could correctly name the winners of 10 football games he published each
week.
He got along fine—a suit here and
there—until the weekend of October
30. On that day form prevailed
everywhere. The top 20 teams in The
Associated Press weekly poll all
won their games. ,
A total of 412 fans scored in Bit-
man's litUe contest. He had to give
* suit to each.
Although hto is a modest little
shop with no sssembly lines, Bitmsn
said he would pay off every winner.
The job was expected to take
months.
This, In the opinion of the nation's
sports writer* participating in The
Associated Pres* year-end poll, was
the football oddity of the yesu-.
A BILITY of the fan* to pick the
aa score* of not just one game but
dozens figured in another unusual
occurrence given mention.
In New York, more than 25,000
Affair* of the Men's City Bowling
league were equalised at Brantley's aa
the top four quintet* took licking*

Despite a 631 series. Frank Pederson
chalked up on tallies of 180-215-236.
Fretwell Motors droped a pair to the
Brownie Potato Chip five. At that.
Fretwell gained a game on runnerup
Seven-Up aa the defending champion
was whitewashed by Hiram Paul's.
Third-place Denison Motors were
blanked by Keyko Margarine and
Rosenfield’s Jewelers droped a pair to
Perma-Stone. Bundy's Western Store
took three from Brass Rail Bar.
Four games out of first, Rosen-
field’s, Denison's and Brownie’s are
knotted for third; with Hinnan Paul’s
one contest behind them.

Prep Parader Has Improved
Guessing Mark for Grid Year .
By WALLY WALLIS «
Oklahoma highschool football teams have stowed awsy their gear after
a successful 1948 season, and The Prep Parader likewise ha* put away the
cracked crystal bell, th* Ouija board, the two-headed nickel and the teacup.
He 1* out of the prediction business until next year with the best record
he has compiled in five years.
Starting with the annual North-
South game last August and ending
with the state championship final*
last week, the Parader tried to call
his shots on a total of 940 highschool
football games during the past sea-
son.
The record show* that he was right
on 778 games and wrong on 162.
That’s counting tie game* half won
and half lost like they do In prep
school standings.
That gives a percentage of .828, five
thousandths of a point better than
the .823 scored during the 1946 Ma-
son. the previous high water mark for
predictions. i
There Were Many Misses
But even then there were plenty of
bad misses—Central over Classen . . .
Central over Chickasha . . . Enid over
Capitol Hill . . . Altus over Chickasha
. . . Hugo over Ardmore . . . Cordell
over Watonga . . . and Tulsa Webster
over Muskogee, to name a few.
Then there was the week the Pa-
rader was right on six out of seven
game* decided by one point!
The business of picking winner* once
the playoff* get underway proved
tougher than regular season forecast-
