Jan. 1 (UP) If I were a strictly honest man, and didn't have Morris plan agents scouting ms at every turn, 1 wouldn't even take tha time to write a column today. I would be hurrying from home to home la this vicinity paying off my debts, because It Is no secret that Tennessee's defeat knocked down my pocketbook for a count of ten and then Jumped on It to be sure It wss flattened. I went for the Volunteers like a pointer goes for a qaalL I thought they were Invincible, and maybe I was right, since they played Citadel, Cita-del, Mercer, Mohler Barber college col-lege and International Correspondence Corre-spondence and the like.
