Boys in Dixie Love Their Football, and That's Why They Win, Neyland Says

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 20—It may be of course that Maj. Bob Neyland who coaches the Tennessee . Volunteers is a trifle prejudiced, but you find yourself listening attentively when he tells you they play ‘the best football in the country down here. It has always been our belief there was no marked difference in the quality of football as it is gen-

but the Major insists there is a difference in the Southeastern Conference. He thinks they play harder, faster and more spirited football. “It isn’t that the teams are better coached better trained .or anything like that,” the Major tells you. “It’s just that the young men down here seem to like to play football better. It's the only sport that interests them to the exclusion of all others and when they reach the

erally played throughout the nation. aA = —

‘but he was all in favor of the ar-

varsity they take their responsibilities with great seriousness.” We asked him why the sport had come -to fast in the South in the past 10 years or so. “More boys are playing the game,” he answered. “The opportunity to play has been enlarged, there is more expert instruction and the playing fields are better.” To our knowledge the Southeastern Conference is the only football league which openly beguiles the swivel-hipped halfbacks and the rock-crushing linemen. They give athletic scholarships, feed and room the athletes and keep them supplied with academic tools. , We wondered if that unique situation wasn’t a factor in creating the superiority the Major claimed for the sport down here. He didn’t think so, not particularly, anyway,

rangement. “It makes for a more healthy condition all around,” he said, “and it certainly eliminates hypocrisy. Deal from the top. I've always been told that’s the American way.” All of which was interesting enough. But it suddenly occurred to us we have come down here to cover the Tennessee-Alabama game on Saturday—the most important football game the season has yet developed. Who's going to win? Already there is a feeling that the winner will go to the Rose Bowl. “We aren’t as good as we were last year,” he says, “but we have a good ball club. I think we'll win. We haven't been tested yet. Alabama comes here to give us the answer. Somehow I think the answer will be satisfactory.”

Undefeated to date marked with agterisks. ' HEADLINERS — T e n nessee* at Alabama* — Maj. Bob Neyland indicated last August the Volunteers would be as good as ever—the burden of disproof is on Alabama, two touchdowns weaker than Tennessee last year.

Notre Dame* vs. Navy*—Navy has beaten us before when we didn’t expect it. Look for Middies to be at their best since 1934. Ohio State* vs. Minnesota—The Gophers have the line and the psychological edge. North Carolina*

Baer-Galento Bout Pending

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—A match between former heavyweight champion Max Baer and Tony Galento this winter either in Chicago or New York was pending today.

Joe Jacobs, manager of Galento, favors Chicago, but Promoter Mike Jacobs, who holds a five-year contract on Galento’s services, wants the fight to be held in New York.

Galento, who has been treating a slight eye injury suffered in the Nova fight at Philadelphia last month, left yesterday for Miami for a two-month vacation.

North Carolina's close shave with N. Y. U. last week not as impressive as Green Wave's 7-0 over Fordham. Texas A. & M.* at T. C. U—Texas Christian, though three-up and three-down so far, is good enough to extend the Aggies if the latter are too content with their feat of shattering Villanova’s long winning streak last week by the ominous score of 33-7. 2 : 2 ” 2

CORNELL*-PENN STATE* — An upset will be necessary to stop the Red Raiders of Cornell at this stage. Pitt*-Duquesne*—On the record the Dukes will have to tame the Panther with moral courage. N. Y. U. should provide the best test Carnegie Tech* has had this year. Northwestern has a chance to recapture its poise with Wisconsin, even though adversity has sharpened the Badgers’ teeth. Syracuse would have a better chance to upset Duke .if the latter had not been nosed out last week by Pitt. A service game is always a headliner— Army must open up to take Yale. That’s right, Penn* plays Harvard* this week—your guess. ere seems to be no reason for the Oklahoma Sooners* to let down against Kansas. San Jose (Warner) vs. College of Pacific* (Stagg)—the odds are against Stagg, but. ” 2 ”

INTERSECTIONAL — Baylor at Nebraska—Cornhuskers are on the home grid—enough said. Tarz Taylor thinks Marquette will hit the S. M. U. Mustangs harder than

help some. Auburn isn’t visiting Manhattan tb see the fair. MIDWEST—Purdue vs. Michigan State—The Boilermakers were well warmed up by their tie with Minnesota. If Chicago Maroons can like as well as take it, Saturday afternoon with Michigan* should be a real pleasure. "Bo’s boys at Indiana expect to compensate for their 1938 upset by the Illini—why not? BIG SIX—Iowa State and Kansas State* have justifiable expectations against Drake and Missouri respectively. Missouri may revolt. SOUTHWESTERN — Arkansas should not be nearly as tough for Texas as Oklahoma. Rice is open to upset—Sam Houston Teachers.

Oregon State*-Washington —Huskies are on the skids; unlikely to break in time to take the Beavers. U. C. L. A. should not be overtroubled by Montana.
