Neyland System in 2 Bowl Tilts

In Knoxville Tennessee the Neyland football system may appear in two New Year bowls. Tennessee faces Boston College in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, while Allyn McKeen’s Mississippi State Maroons are pegged for the Orange Bowl in Miami or Rose Bowl in Pasadena. McKeen, Neyland’s pupil, uses a single wing behind a balanced line and claims he built his method by combining parts from Neyland with his own ideas. He joined Tennessee in 1926, contributed as end during eight wins in nine games, and led an undefeated 1927 Vols team before a Vanderbilt tie kept them from a Rose Bowl bid. Before Missouri to West Tennessee Teachers College, Memphis, McKeen had a successful tenure there.
