LOS ANGELES. Nov. 29.-It's
Duke, the rock of the Southern
Conference, and Southern Califor-
mia, survivor of bitter grid cam
paign along the Pacific, in the Rose
Bowl battle January 2.
Concluding in six hours negotia-
tions that usually take a week or
more, Southern California last night
invited the Blue Devils of Durham,
N. c., to play its Trojan warriors
in Pasadenas annual post-season
game, and Duke lost no time ac-
cepting.
There is Joy in the hills of North
Carolina today. for never before In
the 23-year -old history of the Far
West Classic has one of its teams
played in the rose -bordered bowl in
the Arroyo Secco.
But just as there is celebrating
in North Carolina, so is there gloom
in the Blue Bnonet State of Texas
and a vail for every rebel yell
echoing over the rolling country
side of Tennessee, for Texas and
Tennessee had unbeaten. united
Rose Bowl candidates, too. in Texas

T. C. u, Vol Backers Irked.
Sentiment was high here in favor
of little Davey O'Brien and his
T. c. U. Horned Frog mates; Ten
nessee had a growing delegation Of
hopeful hackers. and disappointment
was keen within the two factions
when Dukes Iron Dukes came up
with a rush over the week end and
won the invitation.
Dukes supporters in Southern
California were legion, however
and no one could criticize it's 1888
team or it's record of nine straight
victories with never a touchdown,
never a point surrendered.
Southern California drew tough
assignment in Duke. the team that
tossed bac kthe challenges of Pitt.
Colgate, Syracuse and other strong
elevens of that caliber. and in addi-
ton a team coached by a man.
Wallace Wade, who brought three
Alabama teams to Pasadena and
left with two victories and one tie
for a near-perfect record.
Trojans Lack Greatness.
Against this is the Trojan rec
ord of never having been defeated
or tied in four Rose Bowl games,
three Of which saw Howard H.
James, who spent year coaching
Duke in 1924 before coming here, at
the helm of S. C. grid forces.
Whether the present twice beaten
Warhorse of Troy, which dropped
decisions to Alabama and Wash
ington is as good as the one that
kicked over Pitt, Al to IA, in 1880,
or Tulane, 81 to II. in 1882, remains
to be seen. An idea can be gathered
next Saturday when S. c. winds up
its regular season schedule against
Notre Dame
The Trojans have come a long
way since Alabama set them down
10 to 7, last September. They still
have a long way to 60 before they
attain the acclaim of yesteryear.

ATLANTA, Nov. 29-The curtain
falls on the Southeastern Confer
ence football campaign this week
to close a season of numerous sur
prises that saw Tennessee's Volun-
teers ascend to the championship
throne
Tennessee. undefeated and united
in nine games and unofficially in
stalled as champion through six
conference victories, finished it's reg
ular campaign in the city of Men,
phis on Saturday, with Mississippi's
Rebels the foe in a game that may
give the Volunteers one of their
toughest tests.
Vols Appear Stronger.
The Mississippi gridders. brought
back into the spotlight after many
mediocre campaigns. have won nine
of ten games in their first year under
the guidance of Harry Mehre, who
took charge after resigning at
Georgia. The single setback came
at the hands of Vanderbilt, the
Commodores winning on a last
minute touchdown pass
Tennessee, which clinched the
championship on percentage basis
with its Thanksgiving Day 46-to-0
rout of Kentucky on a snow-covered
field, will be favored over Mississippi.
The Volunteers nave two excel
lent lines that have performed
nobly in front of an outstanding
collection of backs, including George
Cafego, Babe Wood, Bob Foxx and
Len Coffman. Mississippi has one
formidable line with several capable
substitutes and two great backs in
Parker Hall and Kimble Bradley.
Other Games on Program.
Mississippi has won three confer
ence games against its lone defeat.
A victory over Tennessee would leave
the Rebels several points below the
Volunteers in percentage, but ahead
of Alabamas Crimson Tide and the
Tulane Green Wave.
Two other games are on the pro-
gram this week to end proceedings
for all save Georgia Tech and, of
course, the post-season bowl"
games. in which one or two confer
ence teams may perform. Florida
winds up the year in an intersec-
tional tussle with Temple at Gains
vile and Georgia goes to Miami
to play Miami University Friday
