New York, Oct. IT (U.P0 - Tucked away in a corner of Jack and Charlie's "21," surrounded by such, descendants of the Grey heroes of Shiloh and Chickamauga as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Herbert Bayard Swope, and Oscar Levant, I found Ew Danforth, advance caval- " patrol for the Georgia Bulldogs who play Columbia here on Satur- day.
 Danforth, who is sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, was eating 8 fare that would make his cook at home tear up her bandanna and stuff it in the wood range. Gumbo had given way to vichysoisse. Cat fish had yielded to fresh salmon steak. Black eyed peas had bowed to Le Petit Pois Bonne Femme, and turnip greens were forced to de- fault to artichokes hollandaise.
 Much as it pained me to see Dan- forth blackslide from good cooking, I sat down and questioned him on southern football, a subject on which he is as well informed as any man in the country. Here are a few of the things he told me: There are more good teams south of the Ohio river than ever before, and that's no idle statement there's Tennessee, for one, com pletely recovered from its Rose Bowl shock and equipped with a new of- fensive shift Bob Foxx, tail- back, is bigger and better than Ca | fego ever was but Tennessee would only be even money against Harry Mehre's Mississippi Rebels wkhose back1eld packs the dyna- mite boys. Vovious and Hapes you can go on from there Mississippi may be no better thar Mississippi State, Auburn or Ken
