position as fairly stable" for the
time being. but the belief prevailed
that there will be a change in the
Spanish regime sooner or later.
The question of whether the
change can be made without danger
CT civil war. these sources said. is
one of the dominant considerations.
Informants said Franco has been
losing strength gradually since the
fortunes Of war turned against the
Axis and republican sources claim
that the opposition within Spain
now embraces between 10 and 90
per cent CT tie people
Anti-Franco elements, whose out
side activities have been intensified
since the liberation of France, are
divided broadly into two main
groups, namely those who favor
restoration of a monarchy and
those who advocate the re-establish-
ment of a republican government.
The monarchists support the pre-
tender to the throne, Don Juan,
count of Barcelona.

mderdog role in tie Rose Bowl
game against Southern California

Which is precisely what happened.
NOT pERTURBED
This all-ciyilian football team re-
fuses to be distressed over the fact
that it didn't receive first consider
alton. Practically everyone in the
southland. even remotely connected
with football, thinks it a minor
miracle that the Vols are going

alone to the greatest spectacle of
all-the Rose Bowl itself.

sumed Tennessee proud tradition
of consistent victory on the gridiron
this year after the school "aban-
doned' football fer the duration in
lS43, finished with seven victories
and a tie and was cited as the
Southeastern conference coach Of

When Barnhill started out last
