      SEATTLE (AP) _ An elephant at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle
has picked the Washington State University football team to defeat
Washington in the Apple Cup game.
      The zoo says the pachyderm prognosticator named Chai (chy) was
given a choice of football-shaped treats Tuesday and wrapped her
trunk around the crimson and gray snack representing the WSU
Cougars.
      Last year Chai correctly predicted a Washington victory in the
annual game between the cross state rivals.
      Saturday's game will be played at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
