BouDI" Teams Working ard To Attain Physical Peak
Duke 'Lace Panty" Special
 Off For California Game

The train carries 35 members of the squad, the coaching staff and POO fans. A workout was schedule late today at Pine Bluff. Ark.
 Trojan Boards Los Angeles, Dec. 21-(UP)-The Southern California Trojans were threatening to grow 10-day boards today as students and officials be- gan preparing a gala welcome for the Lace Panty" special bringing Dukes football team to the Rose Bowl.
 The Trojans worked out for two hours in a light but steady rain and their offense clicked to perfection. The drill was held to a dummy scrimmage on offense and all three quarterbacks- -Grenville Lansdell, Oliver Day and Mickey Anderson handled the wet ball with ease.
 A bright note was the return of Tony TonelH, right guard who had been out with injuries for three weeks. Although he did not practice, Tonelli ran around the track for exercise.
 The mystery of who sent the wo- mems silk panties to two Duke players remained unsolved. The Trojans weren't discussing this episode today because Coach Ho- ward Jones had intimated he might go lingerie shopping himself after Jan. 2, if somebody didn't score on the Blue Devils. And that helped to raise the threat of the To-day boards.
 Jones said, for the record, that the only information he had been able to obtain on Dukes style of play was from newsreels. He has not yet held 8 defensive practice session.
 Vols Out of Shape
 Knoxville, Tenn, Dec, 21-(UP)- Tennessee, unbeaten champions of the Southeastern Conference, scrim- images today against Oklahoma plays in preparation for the Orange Bowl game at Miami. One team of the varsity will run the Oklahoma offensive as spotted in the Okla homa- Washington State game by Tennessee Freshman Coach Hugh Faust.
 Tennessee yesterday held its second practice session since the season ended and Coach Bob Ney- land ordered Trainer Mickey O'Brien to run 'em until their ton- gues hang out" OBrien did. He put the 41 players through a heavy run- ming session after they had prac- ticed football for two hours.
 Neyland listened to the players puff through that session and then remarked, "it certainly didn't take 'em long to get shortwinded and out of shape"
 O'Brien promised the team would have plenty of wind by New Years.
 Oklahoma
 Norman, Okla, Dec. 21-(UP)- Novel; Wood, first string center in- jured in Oklahoma's Dec. 3 clash with Washington State, today was expected to be in condition within week and see action in the Orange Bowl game.
 The unbeaten and united "Soon- ers' worked out yesterday in rain and sleet. Ends and backs practiced new pass defenseS and linesmen drilled on blocking. New offensive plays, said to be variations of tactics used during the regular sea- son, were taken up later in the ses- sion.
 The Sooners play Tennessee in the Miami classic.
 Too Cold To Drill
 Fort Worth, Dec. 21-(UP)- Texas Christian, getting ready for its Sugar Bowl game against Carnegie Tech, hoped for warmer weather today. Falling tempera- lures brought the Horned Frogs a breathing spell yesterday.
 Coach Dutch" Meyer put his team through a calisthenics drill and reviewed advance dope on Car negie Tech because he feared heavy work in such cold weather would result in injuries to stiff fingers and limbs.
 The team watched motion pie lures of the TCU- U-Southern Metho- dist game and Meyer explained its mistakes. Bill Malone, injured in practice, hobbled about on crutches but it was hoped his injured ankle would soon recover.
 Lee Uncertain
 Bay St. Louis, Miss, Dec. 21- (UP)-Big Jack Lee, fullback to- day was Carnegie Techs big question mark.
 Coach Bill Kern was optimistic, however, after Lee, out of play with an injured shoulder, had scrim- maged a few minutes yesterday. An examination showed the exercise had not bothered the shoulder.
 Lee will scrimmage briefly again today. Then, if he feels right, he will take over his position for a full session tomorrow and probably start against Texas Christian in the Sugar Bowl.
