down my pocketbook for a count of

Tennessee. started the Rose Bowl
with what appeared to be an al
right squad. The line averaged 1916
pounds in heft, and the backfield
not a great deal less. To the human
eye it looked like a group of men
who could take care of itself.
But how quickly they learned
this was all wrong. Out of the

Chests fought to force past the

Legs and ankles and thighs chafed

line-Harry Smith and Ben Sohn-

played all right but the standout

were the ends Fisk and Winslow.
They had Tennessee tackles under

To sum it up: Southern California
was too big. too fast, and too many

It was midway in the second
quarter when Ambling Amby rose
from the bench. stripped his sweat

out to the field TO take over the

Tennessee's stout defense turned
back the first use threat and had
turned back a second under the
quarterbacking of Doyle Nave, hero
of Troy's 1889 Rose Bowl victory
SCHNEIDER took immediate COM

Tennessee defense hurl back the,

Tennessee lived up to its Press

Duke and Duchess

For the first time since the mo-
mentouS events in which they llS-
ured four years ago, and which
shook an empire and grlpped the
imagination OF the world. the Duke
and Duchess OF Windsor are on
American soil. Americans are glad 10
have them: would like for them to
come oftener and stay longer; but
regret the occasion of the current
visit is the health of the duchess.
Whatever the world may think OF
the duchess and her several matrl-
moniaI experiments, those who have
been in position to learn the facts
say that she and the former British
monarch have been miSrepreSented
and much misunderstood. A news
syndicate writer has Just concluded
d series of articles in daily publlca-
! ton relating many inside revelations
about the royal couple, presented
naturally in favorable light. and haz-
ardng the prediction that future his
! torianS will find many angles that
| lay behind the events of Edward S
! abcication that have not been given
the world. Ii is too early as yet to
bare the full story.
Americans always had an admiral
ton and high regard for the duke
in the days when he was the Prince
of Wales. He visited here on several
occasions. always adding to his pop
ularity and enhancing the idea that
he was fit to be king.
Moreover, there was admiration
for his democratic ways and his IN
clinatiUn to break through royal red
tape and to be really human. 1t has
even been limited that had he re-
not have been, and, while the Sug-
gcstlun is certainly open 10 question,
it is known that he was prone to be
more than d mere iigurehead in con-
Quoting the affairs of his country,
with Il suspicion in many minds
that these and other liberal char
/ acterlSti"s of the man were d
