I had a friend win $100. He was an 8th grader. I tried every week but never
won anything. This article is from November 15, 1964.

Oy, the memories!

I remember these.

I don't think I ever sent one in but used to mark it and then compare to actual results.

Made me realize the crazy unpredictability of college football, as I followed the sport closely but always did badly on these.

My friends and I would compare notes to see who fared better. I don't
remember any bets but there were a ton of bragging rights.
