 Los Angeles, De:. 29-(uP)-1f Tennessee wins the Rose Bowl game against Southern California next Monday entire credit must not be given to Coach Bob Neyland and his assistants, nor to the teams love for alma mater back in the Smoky mountains of Knoxville.
 Assists. and very generous ones, too, must be given to Ann Sheridan's "oomph," Myrna Loy's pert and freckled nose, Jean Arthur's natural prettiness, and Brenda Joyce's cute- ness. These Hollywood stars, and quite few others, are going to pro- vide much inspiration for the play CTS on the Tennessee team.
 During a party at the ranch of Director Clarence Brown, and later at Q dinner Charlie Mccarthy and Mortimer Snerd gave the team at Edgar Bergens house, heard lot from the boys on the subject of their favorite movie stars.
 Sam Bartholomew, the blocking back, was musing as to whether Priscilla Lane would be ct the Rose Bowl game.
 I'll I thought Priscilla would be Lack of the Southern California goal postS,' he said, I'd make 'ein let me take that ball for once and I'd get touchdown just to get that much closer to where she was sit. ting"
 Likes Loy
 Ed Molinski, the All-American guard who leads great deal of the Tennessee interference. hopes that If Myrna Loy is on the right side of the stadium that the Tennessee quarterback will see to 1t that most of their plays go that way. He con- fesses to having written her letters and to having pictures of her on his dormitory wall.
 Johnny Butler, the sophomore halfback wants to make yards, and all in the general direction of Ann Rutherford. The only trouble he might possibly have is that he might do Roy Riegels and run the wrong way with the ball. If Coach Ney- land is wise he will have the proper movie stars sitting in the proper places at all times. It may be that the decoys will become as important e part of football in the Rose Bowl as passing and kicking, and that in the near future visiting coaches will send out booking agents to sign up stars to move back and forth from goal posts to goal posts. creating inspiration.
 As one who has always felt that football is q game. even when played under the pressure of Rose Bowl conditions, and that the players should get some fun out of it, l would like to go on record as sa- luting Major Neyland for the way he has handled the Tennessee team on this trip.
 Coach Relaxes
 One of the severest taskmasterS in his profession, everyone believed that the major would march his boys out here and hold them to such strict training that they would see little or nothing of the social life of California. Much to everyone's sur- prise and pleasure, Major Neyland has been the most lenient of any visiting coach fin years. The boys have been beautifully entertained and have stored up memories that are likely to last longer than that of the score on New Years day.
 Seemingly the team has appre. ciated the majors consideration oi 1t. No visiting Rose Bowl squad has ever behaved any better. or made q better impression on California. Nc matter how gay the party. the mem. bers of the team have kept strict training as regards food, drink afit hours. Given an inch they haven't taken e mile.
