Tenn., Nov. 10. —(U.P.) —This is the home of the undefeated. untied University of Tennessee football team, but there are no Rose Bowl jitters here. Tennessee had that Pacific coast plague in 1929. and has been immune ever since. That was the year that McEver. Hackman. Dodd and Co. took the field against Kentucky in the last game of the season knowing that their coach. Major Bob Neyland. had an invitation to the bowl in his pocket, and that victory would make it binding. More than one Knoxville citizen still is crying over what happened. Linen suits, bought for the expected trip to the coast, had to be turned over to the moths. Chil-1 dren. sent to grandma for safekeeping while mama and papa were in California, had to be recalled. Hundreds of stay-behinds, who had been promised boxes of oranges, were disappointed. Because Kentucky, with a team scarcely worth the sweaters on its back, up and tied Tennessee, and rendered void the bid to the biggest of all post-season games. That cured Tennessee. Since that time it has made a business of looking no farther than the next game, and the fact that it has only to hurdle Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and ole Miss to achieve a perfect season has not caused it to look toward I the future through Rose (Bowli colored glasses. • I saw Tennessee, conqueror of Alabama among others, work out yesterday. As I walked down the field with Major Neyland 1 made a casual reference to the Rose Bowl. He drew himself to his full West Point height, froze up like Washington at VaTley Forge. "Our next game,” the Major said, “is with Vanderbilt, and not on the Pacific coast.” It was not until late in the evening, while we sat around the living room of his lovely home, that the Major thawed out and talked about his football team. The team is a mystery to him,; just as it is a mystery to the city : of Knoxville, the state of Tennessee, rival coaches, and all the , critics who have seen it in action. "I don’t know how good it is,” Major Neyland said. "When we started practice I agreed with the sports writers who had placed it in the second division of the conference, behind Alabama. L, S. U., and Auburn. Then a pair of sophomore guards got hot, and a sophomore tackle and back followedsuit. Maybe they’ll cool off. If we lick Vanderbilt, I’ll admit it is a good team. I’ll even go past that—l’ll admit that it is the best balanced team I have had in 12 years of coaching here.” The sparkplug of Neyland’s team is George Cafego, a Hungarian back who operates along

HUNTERS OPEN | GAME SEASON Open Season On Wild Game Opens In Adams County Today Sportsmen of Adams county no- ■ ticed a marked decrease in the popI illation of wild game today, following a first day hunting spree, prooably never before equalled. Promptly with the crack of dawn many of the county experts rolled out of bed and started to track down their quarry. Many reported getting the limit in quail, pheasants and rabbits. One sportman stopped in front of the office today with six rabbits, two pheasants and one quail. One reported getting ten "shots” before he bagged his first rabbit and still was able to get the limit of ten before leaving his favorite hunting site* HUTSON LEADS PRO SCORERS Green Bay Packers’ End Leads Professional Players New York, Nov. 10.—<U.R>—Four | national professional league foot-; ball records appeared today to be within reach of the fingers of Don Hutson, Green Bay’s all-America end. He has already tied his own 1 touchdown record of nine and the Packers have two more games to , | play. Having scored 54 points, he needs four more touchdowns to break the record of Jack Manders of the Chicago Bears’ who tallied 79 in 1934. If he can catch 13 passes to add to his 29. he will I break his own record of 41 recep-' tions set last year. He also could • break Gaynell Tinsley’s 675 yards gained on pass receiving by adding 169 yards to his present 507 ; total. Tinsley, however, has the better , chance to break Kutson’s record of , 41 successful receptions in one, season. The Cardinals' great end has caught 31 thus far. Behind Hutson in points scored ! were Clark Hinkle, his Green Bay > teammate, with 45 and Andy Farkas. Washington, with 37. Bill Shepherd of Detroit continued to lead in yards gained from scrimmage with 353, an average of 4.5 yards for each of his 78 attempts lines of Marshall Goldberg. He is a fine passer, a sound kicker, and a strong runner. The team goes when Cafego is in there. Pressing him for top honors is a young sophomore named Foxx. On the line the outstanding workman is Wyatt, the capitain and right end. The team hasn't been extended all year. Not even Neyland knows to what heights It might soar if pitted against a worthy rival. Maybe Vanflerbllt will make the I vols go all out Saturday. And if not Vanderbilt, perhaps the California champion, in the Rose Bowl. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) |

PEARL S. BUCK NOBEL WINNER American Woman Novelist Winner Os 1938 Nobel Prize — Stockholm, Nov io (UP) Mrs Pearl S. Buck, former AmerI lean missionary In China anti author of the best-selling novel ■’The Good Earth," added the 1938 Nobel prize to her growing list of literary honors today. Th« announcement of the award. worth approximately $40,000 this year, did not mention specifically any ot the author's woi ks. but ft was "The Good Earth, "a distinguished novel of Chinese life, which elevated her to literary prominence and won the Pulitzer prize in 1931. Mrs Buck, whose most recent novel, "This Proud Heart," was hailed by some critics as even better than "The Good Earth," was literally born into missionary work. Her parents were missionaries in China. though she was horn in the United States, and she spent her formative years there from the time she was four months old until, at 17. she went, back to America for a brief period of schooling. In China she "grew up much alone," in her own words, and learned to like the Chinese, their folklore and customs. After attending Randolph-Macon College in the United States, she returned to China and two years later was married to a Presbyterian missionary, John Lossing Buck, whom she divorced in 1935 on charges of incompatibility. She aided h»r husband in his work among the Chinese, bore him two children, taught in Chinese universities, and generally
