BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Oct. 10
Listen to the means of rival coaches
concerning the Alabama-Tennessee
football game, and you will con-
clude that both these Southeastern
Conference powerhouses will be
beaten soundly in tomorrow's contest
here.
Since that is not possible, some
$4,000 fans will jam Legion Field
most of them willing to string along
with the victor as the likely 1942
conference champ.
Alabama is favored heavily by the
betting gentry, with Tennessee sup.
porters being offered six points. o.
8-to-5 odds, chiefly because of that
veteran Tide line which has stopped
three opponents cold in as many
starts.
At Knoxville the Vols coach, John
Barnhill, says Alabama is two
touchdoWns better than Tennessee
and that old Alabama jinx is like
ly to crop up again" in a devil OF
game"
Alabama's Frank Thomas gets in
his rebuttal with the fiat statement
that his teams pass defense "is
awful"
Furthermore, he says his boys
are not taking the game seriously
and if that pass defense doesn't
pick up it will be just too bad.
Both teams are unbeaten, but
Tennessee opened the season with a
surprising 90 tie with South Caro-
lima.

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-One
reason why Ohio State is rated
the No. football team so far is
that Paul Brown tells his boys to
take a chance with running the
ball instead of kicking when they
have foot or two to 60 on
fourth down. And so far they've
been getting away with it.
And Bernie Bierman, whose
Minnesota teams seldom passed,

football teams haven't troubled the
recordrecorders these past few sea-
sons. But tomorrow, when Okla
homa visits Lawrence. the Jayhawk-
erS have a chance to try their hands
at record equaling.
The Sooners have gone scoreless
in their three games. If Kansas
can buckle down and keep the Ok
lahomans away from the goal for
the fourth straight time it can say
it had a part in tying mark SCI
18 years ago.
The 1924 Sooners went four games
without scoring, the only club in
Oklahoma's 46-year football his
tory to shun touchdowns so reso-
lutely. 1t would be appropriate il
Kansas, which willingly aided Ok
lahoma in establishing the old rec
ord, should help tie it.
But the JakhaWkers' chances look
rather slender. Their defense has
leaked opposition touchdowns at the
rate of from two to nine a game
and it's hardly likely it can be made
air-tight.
Kansas States footballers are
feeling better than they have all

for Missouri. At Nebraska, where

Sammy is threat to any team as

Brooklyn, however, isn't ignoring
Baugh. Most of this week has been
