A perfect entry for Christen

Several adjustments were made to the second week of the Pigskin Picks football contest, with the Crestwood versus Oelwein game cancelled after the printing of the entry page. A typographical error showed Iowa State playing Arizona State, when it should have been Arkansas State. Both games were eliminated from the scoring, leaving 13 games to score.
Decorah’s Elliott Christen had a perfect entry to win the top prize in week two while five entries missed just one game.
Second and third place came down to the second tie breaker. The first tie breaker of most points scored in a game was 63 by Coe and there were two participants who both guessed 60. That left the second tie breaker to make the decision with the most points scored in a single game which was 86 in the South Winn versus Newman Catholic contest.
As a result Jerry Fox of Decorah took second with a guess of 90, just four away from the second tie breaker and Twila Shley won third with a guess of 74.
Commonly missed games included Newman Catholic over South Winn, Upper Iowa falling to Southwest Baptist and Minnesota Vikings defeating the Houston Texans.
