Newspaper Page Text'PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1939. Sport Graphs Bill; Hulen eays: Tennessee, Troy On Inside Track to Pasadena Tilt Our prediction, way last sum mer, that it would be Tennessee versus Southern California in the Rose Bowl still looks very, very good, what with El Trojan practically a cinch to cop the coast title and the Volunteers roaring along unbeaten, untied and unscored-upon, and with only a couple of fairly tough opponents remaining on their regular schedule There have been plenty of nasty cracks tossed at Tennessee for lining up such an easy slate as their 1939 list seems to be, and wc admit the Vols didn't take on loo many dangerous op ponenls. But regardless of who Tennessee is playing this year, the team certainly must be some thing. Already the experts down smith are calling Major Bob Neyland the greatest football coach since Knute Roekne, and his 1D39 aggregation the dream of all grid mentors the "per fect" football machine. Because this Tennessee team will probably be In Pasadena on New Year's Day, battling Howard Jones' Thundering Herd," some observations by Don Whitehead, A. P. writer, should be of more than, passing Interest. "I would lay Tennessee's success i due to Neyland'l infinite patience In develop ing each individual player's abilities, and his mania for perfection in fundamentals," Whitehead writes. "On the practice field I have watched him drill hit men over and over with monotonous regu larity on one simple phase of play until they have it per fected. The bucks are train ed to handle the ball with smooth precision and every player must know his assign ment in detail. "Neyland's teams always are great blocking and tackling out fits and they follow the ball like hawks. In the Alabama game the Tide ball-carriers were swarmed with Orange - jerseyod tacklers. The movies of little lohnny Butler's ffl-ynrd run in that game showed downfield blocking seldom equalled, with some players malting two blocks. "The Tennessee offense, oper ating from a balanced line with a single wing-back and the num ber 2 back at the heels of the center, is deceptively simple but its effectiveness is gained by split - second precision in han dling the ball and by terrific blocking." Whitehead points out that it H is an amazingly poised, versa tile outfit as all Neylnnd teams are. The backficld is fast and powerful: the line Is well-nigh impregnable. In four games against Alabama, Chattanooga, North Carolina State and Se wnnee it was dented for only five first downs, Whitehead dis closed. We believe it was Henry McLemore who wrote that he couldn't see how any team in the world could even score on Tennessee, let alone beat them. So, if it's Tonnpssee in the Hose Bowl, it looks like Mr. Jones end his Trojans will be in for a busy afternoon, much busier than ihoy were against Duke on January 1 ot this year. Duke, like Tennessee, also had a great defensive learn (it was unscorod upon going Into the Bowl), but Duke had no offense to match what Tennessee it firing at opponents this year. Tennessee is almost certain to finish Its season without a loss or tie. for only Vanderbilt, Ken tucky and Auburn remain on its schedule, and only the last two could be classed as even fairly dangerous opponents.

SOPHOMORE FLASH WILL LEAD VOLS AGAINST VANDY Johnny Butler, Star of Ala bama Game, Replaces Cafego in Tenn Lineup Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 16. (ff) Opportunity will come a knocking at the footsteps of lit tle Johnny Butler Saturday when Vanderbilt's "aerial cir cus" moves into town to see what it can do about checking Tennessee's second successive unbeaten and untied football season and a choice Bowl as signment. 56-Yard Run Thrills. The 160-pound mercury-heeled sophomore halfback, who left some 40,000 souls spellbound and an Alabama team shell- shocked with a dazzling 56-yard touchdown gallop, will get his chance to prove that historic journey was no flash-in-tho-pan. Butler, a home-town product, moved into the driver's seat on the nation's No. 1 machine when George (Bad News) Cafego, spearhead of the Vol attack, was struck down with 8 knee injury in the brush with Citadel last week. Has Fine Average. Butler's task is a sizeable one. for Cafego has been one of the smith's standout backs for three years; but those who have seen the shifty little fellow truck an average of 7.5 yards per try in 40 sprints from scrimmage are prone to believe he is equal to it. The tailback of Tennessee's team is the field general, punt er, passer and does the lion's share of the running. Thnt's all they're asking of Johnny in the 36th renewal of this Dixie gridiron classic. NEW GRID LEAGUE Spokane. Nov. 16. lP) Plans for a proposed Columbia basin athletic conference, sug gested by the Spokane Athletic Round Table, were discussed at an informal meeting here yes terday of representatives of three northwest colleges, Wil lamette, Montana State and Portland university.

(IP) Kay akin of Arkansas, the hardest working back in the nation, ranks number one this week as the country's foremost passer and ground gainer, but a couple of all- American prospects are right on The American football statis-. tical bureau's records showed today that in eight games, Eakln, despite playing with a losing club which has won two, lost five and tied one, netted 1,021 yards from both passes and scrimmage. In 91 rushing attempts and 149 passing plays, he advanced the ball 243 yards on the ground and 778 through the air. His total of 240 plays makes him the nation's workhorse. Eakin leads also in the num ber of pass completions, hitting the target 62 times in 149 at tempts, with 14 interceptions. The two all-American candi dates, Tom Harmon of Michigan and Paul "Dizzy Dean" Christ man of Missouri, rank right be hind Eakin in all-around yardage consumption. Harmon in six games gained 907 yards and ranks first in average yardage per game wjth 151.2. He also leads in average gain per play with 7.64. Christman is third in net yardage gained with 899 yards, and second in pass completions with 53 out of 110 in seven games good for 632 yards. He had nine interceptions. Johnny Knolla of Creighton, last week's all-around leader, was idle and dropped to fourth, his total still standing at 887 yards. Others in the top ten: (5) Jim "Sweet" Lalanne, North Carolina, tied with Knolla at 887 in eight games; (6) Gran ny Lansdell, U. S. C, 853 yards in six games the more remark able because Lansdell shares of fensive duties with two other quarterbacks; (7) Kenny Wash ington, U. C. L.

LASI CALL Pittsburgh, Nov. 16. (JP) Complications following an op eration claimed the life of nursa Minette De Lozier who hid her self so well after heroic World war service that the French gov ernment hunted 17 years to award her the Croix de Guerre. Death occurred yesterday In the quietness of her home where the modest Miss Do Lozier she wouldn't disclose her age kept out of sight the many medals bestowed by the French and American governments for devo tion to duty. The nurse who once made a batch of candy for Gen. John J. Pershing on the battlefields of France had to hunt for her awards if she could be per suaded to show them. Sheliked best the victory medal designat ing service in five major battles of the war with one of the most active Red Cross units at the front. The French government fin ally caught up with Miss De Lozier through her bonus check in 1936. Sisters at Mercy hos pital where she served most of of her career urged her to go to Philadelphia for the belated presentation. She refused with the assertion that "It's too far to go, even to be kissed on both cheeks again." Asked how she won so many medals, Miss De Lozier replied "Well, I guess it was just for long hours under fire. Some times we worked 74 to 76 hours straight through." Beef Replaces Beans Boston.
