PASADENA. Calf, Dec. %. (UP)
Coach John Barnhill Thursday
was shooting his Tennessee Volun-
teerS full of sunshine and pSychol-
ogy to get them in the mood for
Southern California, the Golden
Boys of the gridiron.
1t was a bad cay for Tennessee
when football players learned to
read, because every paper they pick
up spots the Vols at least three
touchdowns before getting down TO
cases.
Between secret outdoor workouts
in Brookside Park, Barnhill has
been inStilling his boys with the
glory that might have been Ten
nesSee's five years ago, the last
time the Southerners crossed the
country to tangle with the Tro-
jams.
COULDN'T MAKE 1T
The Tennesseeans got into Tro-
jan territory that time but couldn't
cross the pay-stripe before they
tagged out. And the TrojanS ambled
across for their touchdowns late in
the halves-once in the first and
again in the second.
Barnhill was taking no chances.
He has been trying to fire his at
tack to hit before the TrojanS'

sheer weight wears the Vols uoWll
and to get them in the right mental
shape he took them for tour OF
the hallowed saucer.
They felt the turf, sprinted a
little. and looked up at the empty
stancs that will be packed on New
Years Day.
Then he cornered the caretaker
and had him unlock the trophy
room. There were the charts OF
that other Tennessee game and the
score: Southern California IA, Ten
neSsee 0.
Well" said Barnhill, there she
is bows: let's go home"
HOW IT LOOKS
Current charts would seem to
show that it will take psychology
to put the Vols in the win column,
but the southerners say you can't
believe everything you read. In the
yardage figures, the weight goes to
Troy. The Trojans outgained this
seasons opponents on the ground
considerably better than 2-to-1,
while the Vols fell short of that
mark. The Trojans completed more
passes than they bobbled, while
the Vols were missing more than
twice as many as they connected.
Added up, it gives Southern Cali
