Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon had predicted that his party would pick up only 35 seats in the House, but he won his office pool because everyone else bet lower. Leigh Ann Metzger, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, saw 3 p.m. exit-poll results cadged from one of the networks and furtively circulated.
