Coals to Newcastle. Crouching before the mike during halves of the Globetrotters' basketball ballet, Donegan crooks his right knee, pumps his foot convulsively and whangs his guitar, occasionally wrenching his pelvis Elvis-fashion. Most often he sounds like Grand Ole Opry cornball recorded at 33⅓ r.p.m. played at 78. Backing up the young (25) Glasgow-born skiffler are a second guitarist, a two-beat drummer and the best showman of the combo, a red-goateed bass plucker named Mickey Ashman, who twirls his big fiddle, tops the act by rolling on the floor with...

Then, with Majors faking Ole Miss defenders off balance and hitting his receivers with passes that practically had handles, Tennessee went in front to stay, 21-7. After that, a well-drilled second team smothered the Mississippi attack while scoring once more on their own. Final score: Tennessee 27, Mississippi...
Nashville's bid, more impressive than Cincinnati's, rests on the corn-fed program Grand Ole Opry, an NBC radio show for the past 30 years, and now an ABC-TV show too. The radio show has not missed a Saturday night broadcast since 1925, has a live audience of about 5,000 every week, has drawn over the years 5,000,000 visitors to Nashville to see Grand Ole Opry...
