There doesn’t seem to be much doubt about McEver and Tennessee this fall. The Volunteers of Knox- wville have been around for as long a spell as any outfit in the country and that includes Notre Dame. Over the past six years, Tennes- see has a record of 48 victorles, only four defeats and four ties a winning percentage of .923. his includes the seasons of 1925- For the same stretch Notre Dame shows a record of 47 triumphs, cight defeats and two deadlocks, for a winning percentage of .855. Utah is close to these two. So are Southern California and Pittsburgh but there isn’t a major team any- where in the country that can shew a better record than Tennes- sees. The first defeat for Tennessee in four years came last season at the hands of Wallace Wade's last plabama juggernaut, a team that went on to beat Washington State in the classic Rose Bowl contest ai Pasadena. The Vols, with McEver back at the post he occupied in the un- beaten seasons of 1928-29, obtained ample revenge when they bowled cver Alabama this fall, 25 to 0. 1t will be a great record if Mc Ever can help Tennessee fill out another unbeaten campaign this r and remove his varsity cleats with the distinction of never hav- ing played on a losing team.
