The Baton Rougers lone three points came from a perfect drop kick by Pitcher lust after the first period opened, the star I 8.

The Crimsons were badly off form In the first of the: battle fumbling re-; peatedly and seeming sluggish on both offense and defense. The Tigers, however, had the aama trouble, being un- ui Keep weir ouw uu li dbii n.k k.

fumbled.exactly four times In the first fifteen minutes, Alabama being Just The Donahue eleven threw a surprise into the Crimson ranks by uncorking a deoepttve aerial attack at the outset. Being practically helpless against the hefty Crimson forward wall the Tigers resorted to the overhead work. The daring of the Loulsl-, anans was dassllng at times. They were not waiting until they reached the middle of the field to cut loose the osone barrage but threw paaaes from almost under their very goalposts. Criassoaa Fellow Ball Alabama's coaching in following the ball showed to a real advantage Friday.

Their work In the first half was a real tribute to Wallace Wade. The Crimson forwards had their eyea on the pigskin every minute, ever watchful for a rambling fumble, a bad paas or any break that might come. The first came In tha middle of the first quarter when Cdmptou recovered A bad pass from Bourgeois to Pitcher which bounced behind the L- 8, XT. goal. Again In the second period the Crimson ability to take an advantage of an opening waa shown when Newton, Alabama's right end, snagged a Tiger pass and raced 40 yards down, the sideline to a) touchdown.

It waa a great oleoe of work, Newton running behind quickly formed Interference, and finally crossing the goal with, no one near first half resulted from Compton's placement from the Louisiana SI jrard line early In tha first period. Bis angle waa almost identical with that of Pitcher's dropklck earlier 1n the quarter. i Alabama's offense did not develop until- late In the game. It showed to best advantage in the final period when the Tide registered of her IX first downs. Using a triple threat formation with ana man ten yards baok of the scrimmage line, the Crimson skirted the Tiarer ends for nice aains.

while Hubert, Baty and McCUntoek rammed tha line for more healthy ad-' vancea. It waa In this name last cuar- ir vnmNn wi-nn also loosed exceptionally good. Mot a yara waa gained by the Tiger through the Alabama line, while the U. total 4 yards. One forward pass for 11 yards gave the Loulslanans their lone first down of the period.

They made altogether. i- Jackson proved to be an exceptional line cracke, turning In some beautiful smashing In the second half. Pitcher who waa -responsible for the Tiger score, Stevens, Edmonson and a diminutive youngster by the name of Carriers, carried off the honors for the backfleld. A word about Carriers. Thla lad, "Number was Just about the whole show for the -Tigers in the second half, running well also i Jt shifty and a demon tackier.

Baty, Hubert, Aad Baraea Looking over the Crimson backs there are three who deserve especial mention. These are W. C. Baty, Hubert and Barnes. GUlls and Cohen were good, both ahowlng form on sweeps around the wings.

Baty played one of the greatest games of his career. He never failed to gain- when called upon. He tore great gashes In the Tiger wall, plunging over for' one of the touchdowns in the second half. He another beautiful tackling 'performance to those which he has turned In this -year. Hubert ran the team well and rammed the line often for real gains.

oia not can nimseir oiien mougn, thla preventing him from a more outstanding performance. Barnes turned ha nHi anil hit tha maaa mial skill. He was. especially good on criss crosses Outside the tackles and atound the flanks. GUIIs showed his fleet ness by sprints around the ends, little Cohen, who succeeded him, giving great promise as a star back by duplicating Olllls neat performance.

L. 8. U. line stars were led by Can- tain Ewen. He Is a fine flankman and effectively smeared the befty Alabama Interference on manv sallies around his aector.

Just behind him came Campbell and Matthews, a neat duo of tacklea, Matthews, playing next to Captain Ewen, stopped several smashes at the scrimmage line and followed tha ball well. Campbell was equally good on his side. Bourgeois turned In flashes of great work. Teat Hewtea Big Alar Tom Newton goes the greatest honors of the Crimson line. The stocky flankman turned In one of his best performances of all time.

He tackled fiercely, kept on the ball every minute thla diligence being rewarded by a 40 yard sprint to a touchdown In the sec-ond period. Nest come Shorty Propst and Compton. Propst waa the bulwark at center that has been In every game this season for Alabama. He smashed through the 8 t. line and often snagged the runner behind the scrimmage Tils towering form waa especially noticeable In almniit every play Compton recovered the fumble that gave Alabama a touchdown hi the first quarter.

Just after ha had previously place-kicked from a tneaa angle for I polntn. Langhorne and Backler, and the youngsters Camp and Jone. were brilliant In their work In fact the t'rimson forward, nil of them, showed a fine drive, charged well and often broke open taping holes.

PLAINSMEN IN SHAPE FOR BIG SATURDAY JILT Tigers Wind Up Week of Stiff Practice Before Leaving -Village By EMMETT SIZEMORE. AUBURN, Nov. 18. Special to Tha Advertiser Final preparation, for Saturday's scrap with tha Center Colonels was held on Drake Field Thursday afternoon when a fast and furious formation practice waa held. The Tiger team headed by Captain "Rip" Reagan left Opelika early Friday morning over the Central of Georgia on the Seminole, arriving In the Magle City, Just before the noon hour.

Probably the best practice ac rim-mage of tha aeason was held Wednesday afternoon. Every coaoh on the job was hqt after the varsity players that made qp the line-up that had taken the offensive agalnat the Newell freshmen. Sharp commands and criticism were flung at tha blue Jer-seyed varsity aa they tors into tha ranks of the fighting freshmen who were contesting every Inch with all tha bitterness of a wounded animal at bay. No let up was 'had. practically no substitutions were made and the varelty was shot Into the fracas with the energy at their command.

No ef forte were lost by tha coaches to get the team back to fighting lettle after the game with Tulane laat Baturdayln which the Plainsmen were noticeably lacking In punch aad hard 'driving of some of their previous' performances this season. While the showing Thursday and Friday was rsaaonably good and the keen edge that will be necessary to make a creditable ahowlng against such a team aa the Kentucklana will bring to Birmingham seemed to.be slightly Prekable Llaeap. The line-up to start tha hostilities against the freshmen- was Lawrence, center, Self and. McFadden, guards, Brica and Harklns, tackles, Prultt and Olllnjer, ends, Peterson, quarter, Williams and Crane, halves, and Ford, full. Later In tha scrimmage Allen was sent In to relieve Crane, at half, Bplnks for Olllnger, Nabors for Harklns and Hows for Ford st full, orana haa been playing quarter, as an understudy for Peterson all thla season but his work at halt proved to be equally aa effective at ouarter.

It Is expected that this Birmingham youngster will see service In the Rick wood classlo Saturday. Self and McFadden, tbe former another Maglo City youth that played on the Freshman team last season nnd the latter a former Sidney Lanier star, both posvftss plenty of weight and can be relied on In the center of the line. These two linemen were taking the regular positions of Captain Reagan and Bits. A huge mass meetiitg waa held on the campus Thursday night at which much evidence of the loyalty and. backing ths Tiger grldders wss forcefully displayed on the eve of the great conflict.
