Rose Bowl Preview Highlights Tennessee USC Clash
Pasadena January 1 1939 Tennessee coach Robert Neyland and USC mentor Howard Jones spoke before the Rose Bowl game. Neyland hoped for a strong showing against USC and felt his squad was ready. Jones said they would play their best and aim to win, even by a slim margin. USC weighed in with depth and talent despite questions about star halfback George Cafaro's knee and Tennessee's depth at replacements. About five thousand Tennessee fans expected success whether Cafaro played or not as the Volunteers sought to end USC's Rose Bowl streak.
