Vols Grid Prospects
Hazy TO Barnhi|I,
New Head Coach
Successor TO NeyIond
On Tennessee Stoff
Lost 10 Years
By the Associated Press.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 3-John
"Barny" Barnhill will take the place
of Maj. Robert r. Neyland as head
football coach at Tennessee, but he
was just about the last one to find
out about 1t.
Appointed yesterday to serve
while Neyland is on years leave
for duty with the Army, Barnhill
received the announcement nine
hours after it had been made.
When he arrived back at the uni
versity with his track team, yictori-
Gus in a dual meet with Kentucky
at Lexington, he started receiving
congratulations-his first word of
the appointment.
Not Optimistic Over Outlook.
Barnhill has served since 1885 as
line coacfw and said last night he
probably would handle the line as
signment along with the head
coach's place.
He was not optimistic over Ten
nesee's outlook for the coming
season.
Tennessee was a question mark
in Al football anyway" he said
"and with the major going away
things won't be any better. I've
got a few gray hairs and will have
plenty more before December rolls
around"
Captained Team in 1927.
Barnhill, now 38, was All-South-
ern guard for the Vols and cap
tanned the team in 1927. He
coached high school football al
Bristol after leaving college anc
came back in 1881 as freshman
football coach and was made line
coach in 1885.
Indications were that no new ad.
ditions would be made to the staff
which, with Barnhill, will be Mai
Bill Britton, end coach; Hugh
Faust, freshman coach, and Bill
Murrell and Johnny Mauer, as
Sistants.

Guyon Gains Results
In Experimenting
With RambIers
Jesnick Shukes Slump
In Win Over Raiders;
Riders Shade Tech
Standings.
By GEORGE HUBER.

Chief Charley Guyons expert
mentS with his Eastern High base
ball lineup are bearing fruit with
Howard Jesnick apparently cured OF
his batting slump and back in right
field to add just the needed punch
JeSnick collected only two hits in
IL official trips during the first three
games, and after going hitleSs
against Coolidge in a non-series tilt
was benched for the contests with
Wilson and Washington and Lee
Yesterday the Chief put him back
In the outfeld and young Howard
came through in the grand manner
scoring Eastern's winning run in
the eighth as the Ramblers gained a
very satisfactory victory over West
ern, 4-3, and jumped right back into
the championship race.
He also banged a triple in the
second inning that scored Eastern s
first run, and also hit single in his
four trips. He got on base every
time, once on an error and once on
a fielder'S choice, and in addition
played good defensive game in
Eastern's difficult right field under
the hedge.
Sharing hOnorS at Eastern yeSter-
day was Kenny beavers. who pitched
all the way and limited the danger
Gus Red Raiders to seven hits. Yes
terday's victory inspired the RAM
blers after their surprise defeat
Tuesday by Wilson and placed them
atop the East Division as Tech was
upset by Roosevelt, 1913, while Ana
costa was being nosed out by Gen.
tral. 7-8. The Vikings victory was
their third in interhigh competition
and made them an odds-on choice to
reach the playoffs for defense OF
their championship
Another important item in East
ern's victory was its brilliant infield
play. Tiny Joe (Reds) Vernon at
short cut off several hits with sensa-
tional plays. He figured in the mid
die Of two double plays that couldn't
have been made without superb
tossing. Second Baseman Billy Hite
f1awlesSly handled his two chances,
both tough. Westerns Bob Leach
at first also figured in fielding gem
when he made a seemingly impossible
catch of Ken Curles' liner far to
his right which, had it gone for a
hit, would have scored the tying run
in the seventh.
Eastern came from behind in the
next inning 1t won an early lead
with run in each the second and
fifth innings, but the Raiders in
the sixth staged three-run upris-
ing on base on balls, a sacrifice, a
single, an error and double. They
could do nothing but threaten after
that, however.
In Eastern's half of the eighth,
Clarence Kuldell, who relieved Bill
Grey on the Western hill in the
sixth, gave a pass to beavers that
brought his downfall. A single by
Bill Foreman, a fielder's choice that
put Jesnick on base and another
single by Ray David scored the tying
and winning runs.
