BY RUSS NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. o.-Now
about that football game to be
played in the Rose Bowl New Year
Day between Tennessee and South
ern California.
At the risk of putting a whsmmy
on U. S. c., which is extremely
doubtful, because the team is just
too good to be affected by such triv-
ialities, your reporter is going to
place the Trojans in the winners
corner. Coach jeff Cravath has
nodded a corking outfit after a
rather haphazard start when it was
tied by U. c. l.. A. and California.
Tennessee followers undoubtedly
will be interested to learn that U.
S. c. plays the ''T'' formation better
than any team in the Far West has
since Clark Shaughnessy and his
Stanford eleven puzzled 'em all in
1910, including Nebraska in the Al
Rose Bowl classic.
AS matter of fact, Cravath has
added one play to the 1T" that is
SO slick it sometimes even fools the
Trojans not directly involved in it.
This Trojan team is considerably
better than the one that beat a
stronger Tennessee in 1910 by IA to 0
