game of the football season. iron spotlight today, as the fighting Bulldogs came from behind to tie the The Cadets fought valiantly but they mighty Crimson Tide of Alabama, 1 to 7. BILLY BANCROFT were outclassed completely. The game was so one-skied the 15,000 spectators lost interest In the last quarter and be Howard's heroes of the first major up set of the football season Were Swing gan moving homeward. Harbin, a aharpshooting halfback, and The first team of trie Green wave toyed with the Cadets and if the second and third Tulane teams had not been thrown In the score would have been larger.

The came produced for public Inspec tion for the first time, another budding gridiron star in Douglas Johnson, of New Orleans, a fast, hard driving runner, blocker inrf anvthinr elsa needed on a Dave Snell, flashy end. Alabama was leading to 6 in the fourth period when the break came for the Bulldogs, a slugging penalty that put Howard on the Crimson ST-yard line. Two line stabs netted seven yards. Then the Crimson forwards smothered Harbin for a two-yard loss. Undaunted, the plucky halfback faded back as the Crimsons surged forward and sailed a perfectly arched pass to Snell who was standing on the goal line.

Pandemonium reigned In the stands. Several hundred Howard rooters who had come to see their favorites take the usual drubbing of the "warmup" game, begged for a tie. football field. The short times he was in play he dominated the situation. He set up the first two touchdowns of the game, cleared the way for Mints and came back In the third quarter and took one over himself.

But among the Cadets there was one BSTCE McKAY His fine all-round performance was one ef the highlight for Birmingham-Southern Friday night, de-spit a 25-7 defeat by the improved Auburn Plainsmen. little trooper, Wayt Clark, ot Roanoke, whose rose to the heights of brilliancy Penny" Pen rod. a substitute halfback, and made heroic efforts to atop the storm of tbe Green Wave and rally his fallen comrades. cool and calm, sighted the cross bars. Then tbe ball was passed and he booted a perfect kick, from placement to Howard to tbe heights in football a Ale with Alabama.

The Cadets were literally crushed by AVT PLAUSIBLE explanation will be cheerfully received, but Alabama's hard-earned 1-7 tie wlta Howards arrsppy Bulldogs yesterday win down in Tide gTldlron annals as one of the major upset of tbem, aD. The result of the rm bore out what Frank Thomas said last EprtEf. and words pity frw dars ago must be rinsing In the en ot the Crimsons at toll erj hour. Coach Thomas eaw Howard play Mississippi BUM and om II to He rushed back to the Capstone and made last-mlnuts preparation to whip hla team into the necessary trim for what he declared going to be a tough game. I thought he was kidding.

So did you. But Tommie wasn't kidding. He knew Riley Smith would be out He knew Joe Riley couldn't go the route. He knew the right tackle apot and the guards would be manned by hew raraity starters. And be knew Howards experience tn the State game, plus the dogged determination of the Bulldogs, would work against tbe Tide In the maiden contest.

ruQ credit must go to Howard. The Bulldogs evidently outplayed tea Crimsons most of the way. Alabama, while not clicking, did have the stuff to win but the boys did not get worked up to the proper pitch. They did not anticipate such opposition. There win be seme changes.

The shaken will result la a better. team. Tbe biggest feature the 7-7 standoff for Alabama lies la the fsct that tt wasn't accomplished by an outside eombinatiow, 41 4 TIE GAME WILL STIMULATE. TIDE They're got Rose Bowlltis, Coach Thomas declared last Spring, "and until they get that out of their heads we are not going to go anywhere." There may be soma truth in that statement of last Spring. Howard has helped to make the Crimson Tide forget the Rose Bowl The boys will pick up and go on as soon as Riley Smith grU back Into harness.

The spark wasnt there with Smith on the sidelines. The other side of the story must be credited to Howard. The Bulldogs evidently do not have an ordinary football team. Billy Bancroft's Bulldog line surged into the Tide time after time. The backs played alert and Inspirational ball against the aerial attack of the favored Capstoners.

The Bulldogs were on their toes, keyed to a high pitch all the way. Howard missed two scoring opportunities before a long pass finally splintered Alabama's defense. So it cannot be said that Howard lucked It was a question of standing toe to toe and slugging It out. Howard, matched Alabama In every department and richly deserved the honors that came to the Bulldogs. And, tt Is my opinion that the 7-7 tla game will result la a greater season for the Crimsons than a S3 to conquest.

The mere fact that the ajthletes bow realise they've got te bear down will pay eff when the bigger games come. TIGERS CAN MAKE SPEED COUNT did they look, and what do you think of Hitchcock?" were the questions fired at the sports department yesterday by enthusiastic Auburn fans. Before wax. tof too enthusiastic about the Tigers It might be best to consider the fact that Birmingham-Southern of Friday night was far below the standard of the great team that cams down one year ago and repulsed Auburn by 7 to 0. Auburn's swift attack functioned In spasms with Tipper and Itaram providing the long-Jaunt features In a first period that resulted In two touchdowns and enabled Coach Jack Meagher to do the experimenting he had hoped to do.

He used three quarterbacks, a flock of halfbacks, and three fullbacks. Kllgore won the Job over O'Rourke and McElroy for the time being, but It Is the fullback spot where the Tiger will need more punch when the big barriers loom, beginning with Tulane Saturday. The House of Hitchcock looked good. There Is no denying the fact that the gangling youth from Union Springs can bring 'em back. Hitchcock's mates helped him to look bad In scrimmage because of faulty blocking.

The guards moved' too slowly and the offensive fullbacklng did hot click on the plays inside the tackles. This fault can best be explained by the presence of Carter, Southern's fine center, The man who failed to get Carter bogged the Tiger attack. Solace comes and hope rises high in the Tiger ranks, however, because the team displayed some speed behind a fine line that goes when the steam is turned on. It is going to be a team worth watching each Saturday. AUBURN TACKLES Tulane's first and second teams but they gave the' third team all they wanted.

A dazzling 43 -yard dash by Capt Willis1 Geny and a long pass from Rand Dixon to Dick Plssman gave VanderbUt two touchdowns and a 14 to 9 victory over stubborn Mississippi State eleven oa Dudley Field this afternoon. The triumph sent Ray Morrison's boys off to a victorious start in the Southeastern Conference race and marked' Major Ralph Basse's machine as a future power In Dixie football.

After Dixon had punted from his 15-J yard line to midfield, the Maroons began an offensive with Pickle making 15'-yards around right end and -Hardlson adding 12 on a smash through left; tackle.
