VOLS START ON H0MEWARD TREK
CONQUERED TEAM
GIVES NO ALIBlS
Tennessee's Two Bad Breaks
Discussed; SCHNEIDER Hero
Of Trojan Campus

PASADENA, Calf, Jan. Up
Tennessee's football team started
the long journey back to 1.-THE
Hill" at KNOXVILLE today, leaving
the Trojans of Southern California
to continue their celebration of trl-
umph in the Rose Bowl.
In sportsmanlike fashion. Ten
nessee, from Head Coach Robert
Neyland down to the w%aterboy,
left no aiibis nor complaints over
the outcome of the struggle that
saw them beaten, 14-0, for the
first time since the 1897 season.
The Vols we're outplayed soundly
from start to finish but observers,
conducting a post mortem, agreed
that things might have been diff
ferent but for two bad breaks.
The first was the roughing pen
atty called on the Vols as the
seconds licked toward the close of
the first half. 1t backed Tennessee
from the IL to the n yard line,
where Ambrose SCHNEIDER scored.
Whether the Trojans could have
scored from the II in the time re
naming is open to argument.
Lady Luck frowned again on the
Dixie team late in the third. A
tumble by Bob Newman stopped a
Tennessee drive that had begun
from the one-yard stripe and swept
on to the Trojan 10.
Whether the Vols could have
continued that march and tied the
score at TT also, is highly debat-
able. Certainly, there was no luck
involved when Southern CALIFORNIA;
SCHNEIDER, Jack Banta, Joe Shell
and company took owe on their
own is and went IS yards back
for the clinching touchdown.
S. c. players singled out several
opponents for praise. Chief ball.
carrying threat, they said, was
Johnny Butler, while Abe Shires,
jovial tackle, Bob suffridge, guard,
and Ed Offers, end, were remem-
bered in the line.
Hero Of the Trojan campus was
SCHNEIDER. RELOCATED to third string
quarterback after being out of the
game entirely in 1888 because Of a
knee operation, this San Diego
high school product was, the bat
tering back who led both touch.
down drives. He made the first
and passed to Al Kruger, end, for
the second. It was the same Krue-
ger who caught the last minute
touchdown which beat Duke in the
Rose Bowl last year.

Smoke RINGS
The Dream Game
BY SAM Raglan

~t It's difficult for everyone to get away from the grid
iron season and hardly before the odor of the last bowl
game was off their breath, football fans have started join
ing together to promote a game between the Texas Agg1es
and Southern California.
The ertswhile promoters offer as their reason for stag
ing the battle the plight of little Finland, who is so weak
that occasionally she has to work overtime to keep herself
out of the Red, and say that the game would provide a
million bucks for relief of the Firms.
- But the real reason, as we all know, behind the idea
is prove the answer to the arguments of the pool-room
quarterbacks as to which is the best team-the Aggles or
the Troians.
