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.
The discussion did not touch
on the Immediate formation of
such a conference but it was
brought out that a recent com
pilation of statistical strength of
football teams disclosed five of
the six potential members were
within 1.3 points of each other

Arkansas Back Tops Nation
In Passing, Ground - Gaining
By Gail Fowler
Seattle, Nov. 18. (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. A., second last
week but idle, 843 yards in six
games; (8) Banks McFadden,
Clemson, 836 in seven games; (9)
Nile Kinnick. Iowa all-American
candidate, 795 in six games, and
(10) Ernie Lain, Rice, 762 in
seven games.

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."
