Tennessee Backs Roted
Hioher Thon Host Teens

There should also be an aDle
blocking duel between Hoffman Of
Southern Cal and Sam Bartholo-
NEW of Tennessee-two OF the best
the trade has to offer. More than
a few experts rate Hoffman the
most valuable entry on the Trojan
roster.
When it comes to quality and
quantity combined in the way OF
backfield talent, Tennessee should
have the call. I don't believe the
Trojans, even with Lansdell, Nave
and SCHNEIDER can match Foxx,
Butler, Warren, Newman and pos
sibly Cafego, if even nearly right.
And there are several other Volun-
teer backs who might be just as
dangerous as those mentioned.
I am judging the two backhelds on
all-around value, which includes ball
carrying, blocking, kicking and pass
ing.
Tennessee certainly has no better
passer than Doyle Nave, who saved
the Duke game year ago. But
Lansdell is only fair passer, not
up to Tennessee's general average
along the airways.
There is another difference be-
tween the two Rose Bowl squads
Tennessee is more likely to play
along a given, consistent level-while
Southern California is more inclined
to a sudden squirt and then a recess.
Vols Speed Nay Offset
Trojons' Reserve Power
Offhand I'd say that Tennessee
had the edge in pass defense also.
On Tennessee's part it will be
largely question as to whether or
not the Southern team can go the
full route against much greater man
power. I mean the first, second and
third waves-all about the same efh-
cheney.
Most of these waves are big and
fast, the wearing down type. Head
Man Jones can move them in, if
needed. His replacements just about
match his regulars. And they will
all be bowling into a much lighter
squad.
For all that, I'll still bank on Ten
nessee's greater speed and her
greater smoothness. Also upon her
keener altertness, one of the main
factors in her 15-game march
through scoreless territory as far
rs her opponents were concerned.

The
SPORTLIGHT
Dixie Is Given Call
In Bowl Contests
By GRANTLAND RICE,
aaHaial Gsarrasnondenf Of THE Star

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30 (N.AN.A).
This time, in naming the bowl
winners, possibly against my better
judgment, I'm riding with the Caya-
liers. This means, briefly, that I'm
stringing along with Dixie.
I'm picking Tennessee over South
ern California, Georgia Tech to take
Missouri, and Clemson to handle
Boston College. There is no Sec
tional emotion involved IN the
Tulane Texas A. and M. roundup
in the Sugar Bowl, but in this battle
of the Titans-probably the two
best teams in the country today
I'll go rodeo and slip the nod to the
Southwest-to Texas A. and M.
I have an undefinable feeling
that Texas A and M. is the top
team of all bowl competitors, prob
ably the top team of 1899. The eight
bowl teams are so closely matched
that it would be simple enough to
blow all four predictions.
I still believe that Tulane's ex-
ceptionally powerful squad has the
toughest assignment of them all.
When you have beaten Texas A. and
M, you have beaten a team that
belongs strictly on the upland sweep.
I mean line and backs, power, run
ming, blocking, and passing.

Troiner Bondoees Wrong
Knee, Arouses Suspicion

This seemed sinister and it looked
even more suspicious when Agent
LIZ rode in with word that the

Cafego's left knee instead of his
right one.

Jones' Teoms Undefeoted
In Four Bowl Comes

There are more problems involved
in this Tennessee-Southern Cali
fornia Rose Bowl debate than have
seen since I almost flunked calculus
at Vanderbilt 40 years ago.
AS a starter, Howard Harding
(Head- NAM Jones of Southern Cal
has never lost Rose Bowl game.
He has won all four of his Rose
Bowl starts and has a powerhouse
battalion ready for this show. He
has a first and second string that
will outweigh Tennessee by at least
20 pounds to the man. And they
are not merely hunks of beef. Smith,
Sohn, Hoffman and other big men
are all fast.
But they still lack the speed that
Tennessee carries all the way
through. I am banking on Ten
nessees edge in speed, smartness
and kicking to wipe out the weight
deficit.
The defensive strength of both
teams should overshadow the Of
fense, leaving light-scoring after
noon if form runs true-which 1t
always doesn't in a football hurly-
burly.
The packed-in -bedecked bowl
of Pasadena should see the best
guard play of the year with Smith
and Sohn of the Trojans thrown
against Molinski and Suffridge of
the Volunteers. Smith and Sohn
have a weight advantage beyond
20 pounds to the man, a heavy mar
gin in displacement, but they will
find that the two Tennessee guards
also belong in the top barcket. Lit
tie to choose here.

THE OBJECT OF THE
BOY SCOUT
ORGANIZATION
By GILBERT GUIDE

This column is being 10rittem By
the members of the Troop SS1 IN
an e1deaUor to shOw the citizens of
Rockville that there IS an active
scout troop IN Rockville. And to
teach things (Which everyone should
knOw about scouting. 1t is hoped
that this column will be a regular
feature in THE SENTINEL.
The main aim of the Boy Scouts is
hard to explain except by the scout
oath itself which runs:
On my honor l will do my best to
do my duty to God and my country,
to obey the scout law,
To help other people at all times,
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight,
AS can be seen the oath shows
duties which each scout carries out to
the best of his ability. These are ~
He should be faithful to whatever re-
ligion he belongs and respects the re-
ligions of others, and he is a true
American in every sense of the word.
(2) He should respect the rights Of
others and help them in all possible
ways, (under this comes the well
known good turn" which consists of
doing kind and thoughtful act fol-
someone every day.. 81 He should
keep himself in good shape physically,
spiritually and mentally in order to
better serve his country and as a
service to himself.
A good many people are surprised
to learn these high ideals which a
scout tries to live up to, because many
believe it is nothing but an organiza-
ton which teaches woodcraft and SIM
liar subjects. 1t is true however that
scouting has a great stress on out
door activities, which is most healthy
for anyone. In learning about outdoor
life a scout finds an endless number
of subjects such as Indian lore and
nature study of insects and birds. Also
scout gets the opportunity to hike,
camp and cook his own grub, which
tends to develop many important
traits.
Thus scouting through these and
several other channels tries to develop
better citizens not only for their coun-
try but for themselves. The objects
which have been outlined for the in
terest of the citizens of Rockville
show why the Scout movement all
over the world has been successful for
over a quarter of century. If you
cooperate with your nearest Boy Scout
troop l am sure they in turn will
cooperate with you. @
