It's not a new one, in the strict sense of the word, as the Owls and Greenics first tangled on a gridiron back in 1916, but it pits one of the best teams of the South against one of the leadin g t eams of the Southwest. The Owls and Grccnies have met twice in this decade, with " Red" Dawson's team emerging as Longines Watches, appointed official timepiece the winner both times.

From that beginning, Tulane football has grown to assume national importance.

JOE DAVIS, LINE COACH The football careers of Head Coach Jess eely and Line Coach Joe Davis have been pretty closely entwined. Both are natives of Smyrna, Tennessee. The first game of football Davis ever played was against Vanderbilt and Captain Jess Neely in 1922. Joe was playing for a T ennessee ormal sebool then. Davis transferred to Southwestern Uni­ versity at Memphis in 1924 when Neely went to the Memphis school to coach. Davis made 12 letters at Southwestern, four each in football, basketball and baseball. He was captain of the football team in 1926 and captain of the basket ball team in 1928. Joe was an end in football. The school did nat have track competition. Davis went into business following grad­ uation, but he helped coach the Louisville, ~[i ss . , high school team one year and was head coach of it another year before joining eely at Clemson in 1931. Joe turned out two All-Southern ends while at Clemson. They were Goins and Blalock, the latter having two more years of competition. Joe takes Del Morgan's position as line coach, left vacant when Morgan moved to Texas Tech as head coacll.
