Three 7erps Among First in Line
For Slice of Senior Bowl Cash

Neither team has played a
team as strong as they will play
in each other. so it's pretty hard
to tell" Crawford will tell you
and it's rather sound observa-
ton.
If Maryland should upset the
Vols at New Orleans on New
Years Day the Terps would hole
two distinctions. They would be
the last team to beat Michigan
State, which has won IS straight
since losing to Maryland last year
and the first to beat Tennessee ir
81 games.

poll wants to know how Tennessee

so high in the poll when between
them they played only one of the

That was Tennessee against Ken

that Coach Bob Neyland of Ten

talk before leaving for Dallas and
the Texas game in the Cotton

how tough and how good the
Texans were.
