Then, before ending its 225-mile run to the Mississippi, it does a complete change of character. Next Sunday in PICTURE Magazine, staff writer Otto Knauth brings you the interesting story of the Wapsie River, its physical characteristics and its historical background, in another of the "Rivers of Iowa" series.

CAN only guess how the proposal will fare in Jan- iiary. Loeic is on its side. Football is the only sport in which the XC.A.A. does not conduct a "Viational championsnip series. Some schools will choose not to compete.

There will be powerful pressure, too, from abowl promoters, who feel a series would detract from surprisingly easy 20-7 triumph over Mississippi. The victory, Tennessee's first over Ole Miss since 1958, vir tually clinched the Southeastern Conference championship and a trip to the Orange Bowl for the Volunteers. Tennessee has only lowly Vanderbilt and Kentucky standing in the way of its first league title since 1956. Mississippi's lone score, in the third period, came at the end of a six-play drive that covered 41 yards after a pass interception. Bobby Wade plunged over from the one.

The rest of the game was dominated by Tennessee with Dewey Warren moving the Vols through the air and Charlie Fulton and Chadwick leading a crushing ground attack.
