conditions. and that the players
should get some fun out of it, I
would like to go on record as salut-
ing Major Neyland for the way he
has handled the Tennessee team on
this trip.
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 o. California Much TO every
ones surprise and pleasure, Major
Neyland has been the most lenient
OF any visiting coach in years. The
boys have been beautifully enter
tanned, and have stored up men,
ories that are likely to last longer
than that of the score on New Years
day.
Seemingly the team has appre-
ciated the majors consideration of
it. No visiting Rose Bowl squad
has ever behaved any better, or
made better impression on Califor-
MIA. No matter how gay the party
the members of the team have kept
stricteSt training as regards food,
drink and hours. Given an inch
they haven't taken a mile.

If 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 Sheri-
dams "oomph", Myrna Logs pert
and freckled nose, Jean Arthur'S
natural prettiness, and Brenda JOY
ces cuteness. These Hollywood
stars, and quite a few others, are
going to provide much inspiration
for the players on the Tennessee
team.
During party at the ranch OF
Director Clarence Brown, and later
at q dinner Charlie Mccarthy and
Mortimer Snerd gave the team at
Edgar Bergen's house, I heard a 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 at the Rose
Bowl game.
"If 1 thought Priscilla would be
back of the Southern California
goal posts" he said, I'D make EN-
let me take that ball for once and
I'd get a touchdown just TO get
that much closer TO where she was
sitting"
Ed Molinski, the all American
guard who leads a great deal OF the
Tennessee interference, hopes that
if Myrna 10y is on the right side
of the stadium that the Tennessee
quarterback will see to it that most
of their plays go that way. He
confesses to having written her let
ters and 10 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 a Roy RiegelS and run
the wrong way with the ball. II
Coach Neyland is wise he will have
the proper movie stars sitting in
the proper places at all times. 1t
may be that the decoys will become
as important a part of football in
the Rose Bowl as passing and kick
ing, and that in the near future
visiting coaches will send out book
ing agents TO sign up stars to move
back and forth from goal posts TO

II was reported today that George
Cafego, star Tennessee quarterback,
has been fitted with a brace that
will enable his trick knee to last
out the Rose Bowl game.
Cafego's knee has been troubling
him all season and has been slower
than usual in loosening up again

The Finhf Game

Those are the requisites for a
successful prizefghter and the lad
who doesn't start with all three sell
dom amounts to more than a kicked
-around preliminary boy.
There was q day in prize fighting
when they recognized ability alone.
The main requirement in those days
for a crack at the champion was
a long list Of victories.
But today there are more angles
in prizefighting than there are
machine guns in the Maginot line
There are more fighters than ever
before. As a result the climb of a
youngster must be carefully plan
ned. He must not meet the top
notchers before he is ready. It takes
an intelligent manager. a guy who
knows all the ropes, TO map that
type OF campaign.
Today the young prizefighter must
also have connections TO get fights
that will start him on the climb TO
fame. He must get on the inside
with the men who control the des-
llny OF nearly every name DOXeT
in the business.
That is another important job
which can be accomplished only by
an intelligent manager who has
been around long enough TO COM
mand the respect OF the so-called
big shots.
Without a capable manager, a
young fighter is doomed 10 almost
certain failure. In fact at least

Decline, Annual
Survey Reveals

Los ANGELES, Dec. %. lUP)
Football deaths are steadily
declining and they can be cut
'urther by safeguarding the two
weeks hazard period" in October,
DR.. Floyd X. Eastwood of Purdue
university said today.
Presenting the ninth annual
survey of football fatalities be-
lore the American Football Coach
IS association, DIR. Eastwood
pointed out that grid deaths. have
dropped 63 per cent since 1881.
The past season was the "saf-
est" since the surveys started.
There were II deaths, a 25 per
cent drop from the season be-
for. This compares with S3 fatal
ties In 1881.
Of the II fatalities, seven oc-
cured in high schools. three in
colleges and universities, and one
on the sand lots and one OF an
athletic club team. There were
six others indirectly due to foot
)all.
Most injuries occur during the
last two weeks of October, DIR.
Eastwood revealed, and he sug-
gested that coaches therefore
take time in October to review
tackling and blocking fundannen-
tails.
Fourth period fatalities, he sug-
gested, might be reduced by more
liberal requirements.
DIR. Eastwood presented pre-
liminary survey made by Samuel
V0inOff, assistant football coach
at Purdue, on injuries in the six
man high school football teams.
II was found that more injuries
occurred than in III man teams
but the injuries were less SER
