Alexander and Overmeyer scored 26 of their team's points. The Berne-Decatur clash was a peculiar affair. The Yellow Jackets failed to score in the first quarter. Berne piling up a 10-0 advantage. But, after less than minutes of the second period had been played, the Yellow Jackets had connected four times from the field to make the score 10-8. Then Berne allied eight points in the rest of the quarter while Decatur was scoreless to make the count at half-time 18-8, Berne. The Jackets staged another rally as the second half opened and pulled within two points at 18-16 with less than two minutes played. This was Decatur's last threat, however, and Berne rapidly pulled away.

Calif., Jan. 3.—(U.R) — Seen, heard and made up at the Rose Bowl game: Bob Zuppke of Illinois, the only football coach ever to defy and conquer an athletic board of control, was a spectator at the game between Southern California and Duke and expressed the opinion that the better team won . . . “Southern California was the aggressive team. It carried the fight, it took all the chances.” he said. “The Trojans made the show, and they deserved a victory over Duke, which was strictly a counter puncher." . . . Zuppke didn’t think too much of the football played, however, and said he was sure that Michigan could have beaten either team without any too much trouble. I don't knew about Michigan, but

DECATI'R DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY. JANUARY 3. 1939.

I saw two teams during the regular season that would have won the Rose Bowl game right handily ... I refer to Major Bob Neyland’s Tennessee team and Dutch Meyer’s Texas Christian outfit . . . Wallace Wade. Duke coach, is one who doesn't believe that Southern California is the best team in the country or the best team his club played . . . Wade thinks that Pittsburgh is the s’rongest football team in the country, and that Cassiano. Stebblns, Goldberg, an d ; Chickerneo from the finest offensive backfield in history . . . right ! behind Pitt he hanks Tennessee. Doyle Naves, the junior who threw the winning pass against Duke, lacks 122 minutes of playing time to make a Southern California letter. He has played but 53 minutes and 175 is required . . . Coach Jones said that he would see to it, however, that Naves got not only a letter, but a letter with palms. The best lineman on the field yesterday was not Harry Smith, U. S. C.'s all-American guard, or Dan Hill. Duke's mighty center, but a sophomore named Tom Maloney . . Maloney. Duke left tackle, was on the second team until last week when he showed up so well in practice that Wade put him on the varsity . . . when Bob Spangler. the most conservative man on the Duke team, unwisely handled a punt on his own five-yard line late in the fourth period, and the ball got away from him to be recovered on the Duke's 10 by Southern California, his team mates gathered about and said: "Don't let that worry you. Bob. We'l! get you out of it." When they kept their word, and huriea back to Trojan challenge. Snagler
