HICKMAN'S HUNCHES FOR SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21

•Pittsburgh-Oklahoma. Panther poised and powerful. Best chance of any team to beat Oklahoma this season, but streamlined Sooners are too fast and deep. OKLAHOMA. Repeat, Oklahoma the winner.

•Georgia Tech-Kentucky. Wildcats want this one above all and are equipped to do the job. Proper reasoning says Kentucky, but I have hunch young Yellow Jackets will be buzzing in Atlanta. GEORGIA TECH.

•Oregon State-Southern California. Once-terrible Trojans invade Portland with new coach, new system, and no seniors. Beavers should be ready to meet the challenge. OREGON STATE.

•South Carolina-Duke. Gamecocks did it last year and can repeat, but Blue Devils are loaded. Orange Bowl hinges here. DUKE.

•Texas A&M-Maryland. Terps could make up for disastrous 1956 season by taking this one before a national TV audience, but Aggies have the horses. TEXAS A&M.

•Georgia-Texas. Butts' Bulldogs big question mark but should be improved. Longhorns, too, with new coach and new system are of unknown quality. Your guess as good as mine. GEORGIA.

•Vanderbilt-Missouri. Coach Frank Broyles, fresh from Georgia Tech, makes head coaching debut at Ole Mizzou. Commodores unveil new offense. VANDERBILT.

•UCLA-Air Force Academy. (Sept. 20). Falcons, substituting for flu-ridden Florida, make big-time debut against Uclans. Air Force Academy not quite ready, and Bruins are below par. Nonetheless, UCLA.
