Hoskins threw the' downtown quarterbacks for a loss today when he ruled against taking the entire Tennessee football squad and the band to the Rose Bowl game New Tear's day. He said his decision. In sup port of the athletic council's pre vious action, was made after careful consideration of the prob lems contingent to transporting 48 football players and 85 bands men on the 5000-mile expedition against Southern California. We have looked forward to thia Rose Bowl event for years," sal 1 Dr. Hoskins. "There are many technical details Involved in the program and the whole matter has had the most earnest atten tion of all of us not only for the past few days but for a long pe riod of time, and I sincerely hope that the city of Knoxville will trust our best Judgment and will cooperate with us In having this occasion reflect credit not only on the university but upon the state of Tennessee. The statement dashed the hopes of a group of ardent Ten nessee fans who had thought the Volunteers should meet the Southern California Trojans in full force with the band playing. But it undoubtedly pleased Ma jor Bob Neyland, who led Ten nessee through an undefeated, un tied and unscored on season. All along the ex-army officer and stern disciplinarian, had favored a streamlined, manageable squad of 35 players. His biggest remaining worry was whether his ace tailback. Georgt Cafego, would be ready to go against the Trojans with an injured knee. The famous "mystery knee1 will receive a test tomorrow and Wednesday when the first teams scrimmage against reserves using Trojan formations. Neyland said, however, that Cafego might not be used in scrimmage until Wednesday, the day before the Vols begin their westward trip. Bowling COMMERCIAL LEAGUE WILLAMETTE WEECKTSO CO.

K 1 .1 rKditor LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18.-(flV Except for one rronp, everyone standing around the football prac tice field at the University of Southern California today seemed very grave and solemn about the coming Rose Bowl encounter. The nnworried faction . was composed of members of the Tro jan grid squad, and the way they shouted and laughed, you'd never guess what anxiety and responsi bility their elders were shoulder ing. Why, it even looked like these young men were having great fun preparing for this game; the big gest game of the year, the Rosa Bowl came. The sight was enough to send the downtown quarter backs' association Into executive session right on the spot. Coach Howard Jones didn't even appear to be overly con cerned with his rollicking Trojans or the prospect that soon they'd be colliding with one of the great teams of the nation, Tennessee. It was most unusual, because Howard Jones Is one of the best open field worriers in the busi ness. It may be that he over trained in the brow-wrinkling Washington and UCLA games. The most plausible explanation for this lighthearted conduct was that this was the first day of practice after a week's layoff, and It will take a few days for the Trojans to get down to cases and realize the gigantic Importance of their January 1 assignment. There wasn't much to the after noon's drill. Jones and his coach ing assistants pored over a scout's report on the Vols before calling the squad together, and there was a midfleld conference with the players. As for concentrating on thoughts of Tennessee's three backs, George Cafego, Johnny Butler and Bob Foxx. who have averaged six yards or better every time they packed the ball, or mull ing over guards like Suffrldge and Mollnski, or a few other as sorted worries well, that'll come later on.
