PASADENA, Callf., Dec. 3O-Ine
grandfather Of all New Year Day
football games is ready to present
its 25th edition-the 1910 Rose Bowl
encounter between Tennessee and
the University of Southern Cali
fornia.
The largest crowd of all the post
season bowl affairs-a throng Of
90 000-will jam the flower trimmed
bowl in the arroyo seco Monday to
witness an engagement between two
teams ranked among the greatest
in the Nation.
The orange-suited lads of Ten
nessee. moving into the big bowl TO:
the first time with % consecutive
victories behind them, boast record
of triumphs uneoualed in the his
tory of the Tournament of Roses
series.
Never Beaten at Pasadena.
Southern CALIFORNIA; mighty Tro-
jan. never defeated in five trips to
this post season game. is co-cham-
pion of the host Pacific Coast Con-
ference, with a season just closed
marred by two ties but marked by
seven victoyies, including intersec-
tional wins over Notre Dame and
the Fightin' Illini of Illinois.
Guiding the Troians of U. S. c.
into the game is Howard Harding
Jones. a veteran of quarter of
century of coaching and a man who
has led the Warriors Of Troy through
four of their five Rose Bowl con-
quests.
On the opposite side of the field.
at the helm of the Volunteers, will
be Robert R. Neyland, Texas-born,
Army trained expert who first be-
gan coaching at West Point in 1921
and took over the reins at Tennessee
in 1926 after year as assistant.
During the Neyland regime the
vaunted Vols have won 108 games,
tied 8 and lost a mere II games.
Small wonder that Neyland is the
idol of Tennessee and small Won
der that a Neyland-coached team
commands respect on any gridiron
in the Nation. And to add to the
small wonders, it is no secret that
the Trojans, despite their Rose Bowl
record and the slim role of favorit-
ism they carry into the 1910 appear
ance. bear great respect for the VOL
unteers from Knoxville and their
coach.
Constantly in Limelight.
There is little to add to the feats
of the two teams. Their achieve
ments have kept pace in the sports
headlines since the 1899 college grid
war began last September. The fire
and leadership of George Cafego OF
the Vols, the scintillating broken
field running of his understudy,
Johnny Butler, and the pass throw
ing record of another, Buist Warren,
need hardly be repeated.
Nor does the work of a 21-year-
old senior at U. S. c.. Grenville
Lansdell. the boy they call "Fox Over
Pasadena" because even his mates
never know what to expect when he
calls a signal, warrant further men,
ton. Then there is Doyle Nave. the
hero of the 1889 S. C. Rose Bowl
victory over proud Duke; Duke
which hadn't been scored upon all
season. even as Tennessee this sea-
son. Then there is Amby SCHNEIDER,
the so-called No. 3 quarterback for
S. c., vino was first string two years
ago and missed service last year be-
cause of an injury.
Others Who May Shine.
Add to these the names of Bob
Foxx and Frank Newman of Ten
nessee, Bobby Peoples, Jack Banta.
Bill Sangster of S. c., or the Vols
Joe Wallen, Ike Peel or the senior
fullback and man who helped
wreck Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl
last January, Frank Newman. Put
these names in a hat and you should
have the answer to a hero in the
25th Rose Bowl battle.
