LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-South-
ern California's Trojan football
team began a brief vacation to-
day, giving the Monday morning
quarterbacks free rein to null over
the coming Rose Bowl battle with
Tennessee and rehash Troy's 1899
grid campaign.
The fact that Coach Howard
Jones eleven backed into the Rose
Bowl much In the fashion Of a
wounded craw-dad Cor crayflsh,
depending upon your accent, was
discounted by ardent hackers Of
Southern California.
Their best explanation Of the
scoreless tie between the noble-and
highly favored-Trojans and the
University Of California. at Los
Angles is simple. The Troy squad
still was dead on its feet from two
successive tough engagements with
Notre Dame and Washington.
These two teams took a lot out

But the Jonesmen found their
vaunted three-deep strength shaken
up by injuries. Several of their KEY
men were not in good physical con-

back in shape, in perhaps the per-
feet form Notre Dame and the six
other vanquished foes discovered.
After few days rest, the Trojan
warriors will resume a training
grind in preparation for their sixth
appearance in Pasadenas post-sea-
son classic. 1t shapes up as one Of
the schools hardest games. Any
outfit that ran its consecutive game

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 11.-Tennes-
sees Volunteers well might be
termed footballs most unusual
team.
Coaches, writer's and fans who
have watched the boys coached by
Maj. Bob Neyland agree most def
nitely Tennessee isn't a great foot
ball team, but is collection of play
ers who do everything well-well
enough to win.
And team that has been win
ming as long as Tennessee should
by any stretch of the imagination
be called a fine football outfit. The
Volunteers have dropped % foes in
row and perhaps the biggest angle
to all arguments is the fact the
orange-shirt arrays goal line
hasn't been crossed in Is contests
Calls Vols Opportunists.
It's d good football team,
was the way one of the South's
most able coaches described Ten
nessee. "They play smart, alert
football. They take advantage OF
every opportunity and usually make
their own opportunities by playing
hard, clean football"

current array of football talent Is
lacking the power and precision Of
the 1898 crew. A major share Of the
glory for this seasons success has
been awarded the Volunteers second
team, which has shown decidedly

Pushing the high-scoring New

Eastern Amateur Hockey League,
the Washington Eagles are brimful
Of confidence today as they face an

While Washington gathered

the league prior to yesterday, the
New York Rovers fell heavily on the
Atlantic City Sea Gulls. and took
over the league leadership by licking
the Gulls in Madison Square Garden,

Tomorrow nights game will be the

have won both previous contests, but
not by margins sufficient to set them
up as topheavy favorites, and the
series between Washington and
Baltimore has all the makings of

to Washingtonians. but quite a few
fans travelled over to Baltimore last
night to see the Eagles, playing good
hockey, score twice in the first

goal from more than one enemy
counter in the remaining two

On the record so far you have to
