success the majority of the critics say In that case Alabama has enjoyed one of the most successful football seasons in the history of the institution for yesterday afternoon a 59 to 0 victory over the Mississippi Aggies wound up a season that began almost three months ago with a 110 win over the Marion Cadets On the whole tho Crimsons have played superb football all season and their performance yesterday will go a long way towards fandom to forget the bit ter taste of the three defeats suffered by the Crimsons on the grid this year Led by Stumpy Bartlett who is ajl scuthern timber if ever there was at Alabama the Crimsons jan rough shod over ths Aggies yesterday And when they found the running hard they passed the ball througb'the air for scores And when the aerial attack failed to produce there was always tho educated toe of Stumpy Bartlett to try for points from tho field Bartlett registered seven success ful kicks from placement in yester day's game five of them coming In the try and two for regulation fiefS goals daz'ling tensive offered terday Never has an so much at Rickwood betore There wag an offensive for even the most exacting fan At running at pass ing and at kicking the Crimsons excelled their Aggie in decisive manner In addition the Crtmeon de fense was in prime condition The forwards 'were charging low and har'd and Aggie backs never really had a chance to show their wares Crimsons Ilne Holds When the Aggies resorted to aerial tactics the Crimsons usually broke them up or the ball was grounded On two or three occasions however McGowan giant backfield stgryof the Aggies furled perfect passes into the arm? of his mates and the Ag gies seemed to threaten But then the gallajit Thin Red Line would all its power and hurl the Aggies back time after time Once McGowan completed a long pass that traveled almost halfthe length of the field An Aggy backfield man caught the ball but was down within 'Baum's five yard line Three Maroon onslaughts at the line availed them naught and a pass was grounded on tiie fourth down the ball going over the Crimsons who rushed and booted the ball out of danger In all emergencies the Crimson forwards were there with
