9 1 ALABAMA AIR RAID CRUSHES STANFORD, 1 Bill Henry Says -on PASSES WIN F0RS0UTH Howell Heaves Long Fighting Stanford Eleven', Conquered by Alabama in Bowl Classic -f WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1935. Here's the Stanford Touchdown That Made Alabama's Red Elephant' See Red ON THE eve of the New Year, feeling Ull of the seerv (make thai begin with an not a pliz, Mr. Printer) spirit I threw ttyself into a trance, which is practically a normal condition with all sports columnists anyway, and foresaw the following- great happenings for 1935.

He came from absolutely last to win by a length and a half from Mad Frump and High Glee, second and third, respectively, before 20,000 cheering BY BRAVEN DYER Smothering Stanford with th most amazing aerial attack ever' seen In the Rose Bowl, Red regiment roared to victory fore 85,000 people yesterday. The- score of 29 to 13 very adequately; tells the margin of difference between the two foes.

With All-American Dixie Howell doing the pitching and All-American Don Hutson contributing most of the spectacular catching, the Dixie warriors scored three touch- downs and a field goal in the sec-' ond period to take complete charga of the situation. WHAT A SURPRISE! Not even tne wildest Alabama rooter expected such a stunning" triumph. The Red regiment eclipsed the sensational performances of other Alabama teams and anybody 4 who saw the 1926 and 1931 games knows full well what this simple' statement means. Howell and his understudy, Joe Riley, completed eight out of nine passes in that sec-' ond quarter riot. Stanford scored in the first pe riod and then not until the while the Tide added its final tally in the closing stanza just as a parting gesture to an already beaten rival.

SHORTEST ROUTE As predicted. Coach Frank Thomas uncorked an aerial attack ford had, while the Redskins had a distinct edge In running plays. Passes being the quickest way of scoring, the Tide made it's tallies quickly and with decisiveness, while the Redskins had to punch the ball down the field for Stanford played well and the Far West can have absolutely no alibi. Alabama was simply too good for the who stuck to their' guns and gave their best, which wasn't enough by quite a bit. The southerners were an even better tea mthan any of us thought and from now on ail of us out this way will know better than to string against any "Bama ball club.

v. ACES BACK TO BACK Howell and Hutson were practically the whole each making two touchdowns. -No back ever stepped on the Rose Bowl turf, than the fleet Dixie Howell and the pass catching of Hutson equalled anything this annual game has ever produced. Stanford was badly baffled by tha aerial barrage which. hit.

with such sickening suddenness. The Redskin backs were nearly always close to Hutson, Paul Bryant or any of the other 'Bama receivers, but that split second which so often means the difference between victory and defeat was on the Tide's side. Bones Hamilton and Buck Van Dellen were right with Hutson when he caught the ball and made the closing touchdown on an aerial thrust which netted 51 yards, but the fleel Dixie end simply stepped away from his foes. Bones threw his head-' guard to the turf In disgust after he followed Hutson Into the end zone. PENALTY HURTS What slim chance Stanford had of winning disappeared in the fourth quarter when the Redskins held Alabama deep in Tide territory, making a fourth down punt necessary, but on the preceding play a 15-yard penalty for piling on gave the visitors a first down.

After that it was all over. Grayson played brilliantly, as did Hamilton and Topping, while the entire Alabama backfleld performed with devastating effect. The Tide's perfect Rose Bowl record remains unblemished and the thrill of seeing two teams score six touchdowns will live for a longtime in the memory of those who saw the struggle, by far the most spectacular of Pasadena history. The first half was the wildest in Rose Bowl history, eclipsing any of Alabama's previous brilliant ex hibitions which stood western fans oa their -ears in years gone by. Stanford's score in the first period was the result of hard running made possible through Alabama'! mistakes.

With the ball on the Tide 29-yard line, Dcmyanovich fumbled going through the line and Topping recovered fcr Stanford on the 27, Five plays, three of them by Grayson, brought touchdown, Bobby crashing over rifcht tackle from the 1-foot line for tre tally. Moscrip converted, giving Stanford the lead, 7 to 0. (, BOYS ENRAGED This apparently enraged the southerners, who had bi'en unable to get out of their own territory during the first quarter, and in the second period the boys from Dixie put on the greatest show ever seen in the Rose Bowl.

Of the seventy-five yards on this drive all but five were made on passes. Threatened with the loss of their precious 'lend Stanford battled bitterly and threw the Tide back, but Smith, not one bit discouraged over having missed his first pot shot at the goal, dropped back and booted a perfect field goal to put Alabama ahead, 9 to 7.

HOWELL SCORES The Alabama boys were not the kind to coast on their laurels. They received the kick-off and, after Angelich had made 7 yards through the center of the line to. place the ball on the "Bama 33-yard line, Howell shot Inside of Moscrip, end, cut down the side line and reversed his field for a 67-yard touchdown sprint. Smith again kicked goal to make It Alabama 16, Stanford 7. Apparently the run was too much for Howell and he collapsed on the field and was taken out cf the game.

LONG PASS Just to show that Howell wasn't their only threat, the 'Bama team lined up with less than half a minute of play and the ball on their own 47-yard line, and Riley, substituting for Howell, hurled a long, looping pass far down the field that Hutson caught on the Stanford 15-yard line and carried acras for the third touchdown of the periwl. Hut-son missed the try for goal and the teams went in for their rest with Alabama leading, 22 to 7. Stanford apparently profited by some good advice between halves, (Continued on Page 21, Column 4) gained 8 yards but he fumbled as he was tackled and Grayson recovered at midfield. STANFORD Grayson ran left end for 5 yards and then on a reverse Van Dellen sifted through right tackle for a first down on the 'Bama 37.

The Indians were penalized for holding, however, and were set back to the 'Bama 48. Grayson picked up 2 trying a sturdy left guard.
