Chattanooga's Jack Whitehead is making the trip with the Vols; Carl Hubbuch is not. Houlgate Lists Tulane First Deke Houlgate, of 810 South Flower street, Los Angeles, sends this interesting letter: "I am enclosing my final rating for this season and hope the folks back there do not feel too hurt to find Tennessee as far down as I have them. It might be recalled at this time that last year the same system placed the Vols in first spot as national champs. "Nearly all of us out here agree that Tennessee was victimized by a schedule that was below the par of other years, although no one believes for an instant that it was hand-picked. On the contrary, most of us feel that Tennessee would have done just as well if some of the Mercers and Citadels and Se-wanees had been replaced by strong intersectional foes.

"There is no general attitude, such as existed last year toward Duke, that Tennessee will be a push-over. In a town here point bets are the only, way to get money down on the Trojans, local fans are giving all point-askers the cold shoulder. The Vols will either be even or odds-on by Jan. 1."

T. an this year, arrived last night from Knoxville, telling about calling the Pi Kappa Alpha house' at Southern Cal the other day. "The call amounted to $7," Gus1 laughed, "and they would Bt pay the charges at our frat house out there. But when 1 told them we would bet the price of the call on the game, they could not refuse." Gus was as tickled as if the Trojan 'tudents had already paid for the call. "What did they say? they think they are going to win." Gus hee-hawed.

"I think Southern Cal will pass about three-fourths of the game. They are reckless with their passes. And that's 'here Tennessee's fine pass defense will come into action. C. will see something then.

"Lansdell.is not much of a passer. He is nervous when rshed. They will intercept some on him, the way U. T. rushes the passer.
