TWO THE BIRMINGHAM NEWS The South's Greatest Newspaper SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3924 NEWS SPORTS EXPERTS BRANTLAND RICE. HENRY C. VANCE MENKE, ROBERT EDGREN JOIN FOSTER, DAMON RUNYAN THOMAS CUMMINSKY, GENE FOWLER FAST CRIMSONS SWAMP FIGHTING WILDCAT TEAM Rosenfeld, Brown And Hubert Are Brilliant Stars Of Smashing Victory BY ZIPP NEWMAN, Sperts Editor The Birmingham News Maimed and from crippled Nov. Wildcats influence are of a 42-to-7 defeat "Sunday" somewhere between Tuscaloosa and Lexington, wondering what kind of tanks and machine guns the Crimson used in the butchery here Saturday. Alabama used every method known to modern football in smearing the Kentuckians and then sending Mack Brown, Rosenfeld and Hubert through the debris behind the most startling blocking ever seen on Denny Field.

Kentucky had a fair defense, but the Wildcats forgot to bring their nets alonog to catch Mack Brown and Rosenfeld. Every time Alabama started a play there were 11 knock downs and most of the time the Crimsons were putting the ever courageous Kentuckians down for the count of 10. Blocking piled up the impressive score for Alabama. What Birmi-gham spectators saw. in the Sewanee game when Rosenfeld ran 58 yards for a touchdown behind superb interference and blocking WAS just a sample of what the Crimsons pulled repeatedly here Saturday.

The Crimson's blocking was simply bewildering. It didn't give Kentucky time to size up a play, let alone get into the scrimmage before something happened. While the game was a landslide for Alabama, it was a dazzling performance for the 6,200 that came to help Alabama celebrate home coming day. The game reeked with long, dizzy runs and the spectacular. Sensations Within the twinkling of an eye the bleary eyed, touchdown thirsty crowd saw two sensational runs and two touchdowns.

Alabama went into the third period with 8 14-point' margin. The Crimsons were pounding and driving their way to the third. Kentucky's line congealed somewhat, the Crimsons came within the 10-yard zone. Capt. Hubert called for a forward pass.

Somebody kicked a signal. Gillis let the ball fly over to the right side of the field. Charley Hughes, who was coming in meet the play, reached up and plucked the ball out of the air. There was no one within 10 yards of him it seemed after he took his first few strides. The stand rose as one.

He was off like a comet with Whitaker trailing him. Hughes ran like a man o'war, Whitaker couldn't outsprint the 10-second harrier. It was a twist of fate, marking first time this year that an alien set foot back of the Alabama goal line. The cut from the Wildcat wounded Crimson pride. A team that was contented to tease the cat became furlous.

Sauer lifted a high kickoff that fell just outside of the goal post on his right. Mack Brown stepped back to his one-yard line, drew in the ball and began whirling. He ran 25 yards straight down the field, then he cut for his right side line. Cats were falling to his left and right under the quake of Crimson tacklers. With the issue becoming cloudy, Mack Brown slowed up and waited for his men to clear out the undergrowth, taking zig-zag course to the far side the field that took him to Kentucky's 25-yard line.

There was one man between him and the goal line. He began whirling again, using his right arm as ballast. Gregg left his feet for Brown, but before he could lay his hands on him Short Propst bowled him over, leaving the road clear. It was the most spectacular run the writer has ever seen in Southern football, and Brown must have covered at least 150 yards. whirlwind could not have paved a better path for Brown than did his stalwart comrades.

A driving, slashing attack gave the Crimsons their first score in the opening period. An exchange of punts forced the ball deep into Kentucky's territory. Sauer punted to midfield from his 10- yard line. Brown returned the ball 13 yards, setting in motion drive that blossomed into a touchdown. Hubert bucked 10 yards over Jones and Camp.

He came back with six over center. Cohen lost three yards and Hubert picked it up again on the next buck. Hubert fumbled and the alert Caldwell recovered the ball on Kentucky's 18- yard line. Whitaker and Hubert took the ball to the eight-yard line, Hubert bucking the ball over center for the marker. A bad pass all but cost Alabama a touchdown a few minutes later.

Propst's pass struck Whitaker on the knee and it came flying back over the line of scrimmage. Sauer captured the wild bail and managed to fall with it on Alabama's 35-yard line. Cats Threaten Smith and Sanders took turns bucking the Alabama line, chopping out a first down. A forward pass from Smith to Hughes placed the ball on Alabama's three-vard line. The Crimson line settled like hot lead in ice water, becoming as immovable as a rock wall.

Hughes failed at left guard Kirwan lost two yards at right guard. Sanders took the ball to the one-foot line and on reserve buck Gillis nalled him his tracks. When a team can't move ball three yards on four plays then there must be something to the defense that stopped such savage lunges. A series of forward passes in the closIng minutes of the half gave the Crimsons their second touchdown. Sauer was forced to punt after gaining possession of the ball via a fumble on her own 35-yard line.

Rosenfeld returned the punt 12 yards and on the next play made 12 yards over left guard. Rosenfeld came back with a streak of 11 more yards. Rosenfeld caught a partially blocked forward pass and turned into a 22-yard gain. A pass from Gillis Hubert made more. Hubert time out and asked for order to get in another play.

play produced the touchdown, the pass being from Gillis to Caldwell, who took the ball behind the goal line. Mack 36-yard run led to Alabama's fourth touchdown in the third period. Whitaker, Brown and Hubert alternating in the drive that finally the ball over the goal line. Hubert ploughed 'through the center of the line, smashing into Captain ders as he broke through. Dave Rosenfeld's around left end started the fifth of the Crimsons over the goal line in the fourth period.

took the ball out of bounds came back broke loose for through a field of six Kentucky lers. On the next play he hurled self over the goal line. Alabama gOt 8.8 far as Kentucky's 28-yard the next march. Kentucky gained yards on three plays and then elected to punt. Sauer punted to Alabama's 24-yard line, Rosenfeld snaring boot.

Rosey Follows Popper The speed merchant straight down the field, turned to his left hind Captain Hubert who blocked out two Kentucky tacklers and then down the side line, Rosenfeld was given great blocking and he took advantage of It by waiting for him men to cut the tacklers out. It takes the figure to tell what an amazing amount of yardage the Crimsons traversed. Alabama gained 816 yards on running back kickoffs, flinging forward punta. passes, circling ends and ploughing through the line. Kentucky made two first downs to the Crimsons 16.

Kentucky boasted a great pair of ends that had stopped Centre's end runs.

The yaps there to drop their mouths folks go ajar and let their eyes do a little plain bulging. Nine out of ten and fancy times the act is not near 80 sensational advertised. But this here Maurer, as who plays in the backfield for Oglethorpe is one man who certainly lives advance notices sent out up to the ahead of the show.

About the only way Howard could Maurer Saturday afterhave stopped noon when he and his associates hung 8 32-7 victory over the Bulldogs up would have been to get out an injunc-1 tion. The death ray might have 3c- complished it also, but that's a bit drastic to use in football. Maurer too scored three of the Petrels five touchdowns and did some of the fanciest stepping seen at Rickwood Field this season in so doing. For the last counter of the game, which came in the third quarter, he stepped through the whole Howard team for some 60 yards and a touchdown. It was by far the most spectacular play of the game, Maurer ducking.

dodging, sidestepping reversing his fleld to gallop along the home stretch with no Howard man in telegraphing distance of him. Steppin' King Maurer has been dubbed by many of the writing boys as one of the outstanding backfield men of the South this year, ranking with the four best backs in Dixie. I would step a bit further than that, even. I believe he is one of the outstanding Southern backs of the past 15 years. Some might venture the argument that he was running against weak opposition Saturday.

Such was not the case. Howard is the team that outplayed, though lost to Mercer and Mercer has a cracking good team this season. The Howard defense has shown extremely well in every game played this year except against Spring Hill. Maurer did his dirty work early in the first half for the visiting Petrels Saturday afternoon and then he went under blankets to rest up for further charging in the second half. Going back in for the second half again, he romped until he peeled off that sensational broken field run for the final touchdown of the game and then he eased over to blanket row and came out of the game again.

The Oglethorpe team put on display some other real football players as well in hanging up their easy victory over the Howardites. Kilgore and Redfern did some hefty gaining and hung up a counter each. Redfern effecting his on a delayed fake pass buck after going in for Maurer. At that time the count stood 18 to 0.

TUSCALOOSA FALLS BEFORE WOODLAWN Levvy And Suther Big Stars In Tuscaloosa Morning Game BY RUSSELL SMITH UM pletely outclassed in Nov. every de- loosa High's Black Bears went down fighting Saturday, battling Woodlawn to a 14 to 6 score. The Birmingham team showed one of the most powerful and versatile high school attacks ever seen here.

They registered 22 first downs to the locals' four, but furbles and magnificent scrap put up by the light Bear line held the score down. Tuscaloosa's touchdown typified their great struggle. With the score 14 to 0 against them, battered and spent, and with the ball on their own 14-yard line, they uncorked two long passes which went for the counter. Kendall, who played a fine end all the way through. dropped back to the backfield and tossed a 28-yard pass to Reid for first down on the Bruin 42-yard ribbon.

Then came the big thrill. Kendall again fell back. He lined pretty 35-yard toss to Suther. The local fullback was waiting at a standstill, but be broke away fast and cross-stepped a pair of tacklers to glide down the side line for the remainder of the route. The try for point was blocked.

Beyond that one flash, Tuscaloosa never had a scoring chance. Woodlawn continually hammered through for gains, seldom of any great length, but always enough for first down. The visitors started from the first kickoff, which they received Driving off tackle, with two nine-yard end sweeps by Levvy, interspersed, the Colonels carried the oval to the Bear 28-yard of the best games of his career. Ham WAS certainly at top form Saturday and electrified the stands near the end of the first half by recelving a punt and running it back 55 yards for one of the most brilliant plays of the game. He looked like a million dollars in that run and making most of his own interterence himself.

Then with none between him and the goal a Howard man failed to block out the remaining obstacle and Ham was brought down with a touchdown almost within his grasp. Stevens On High Stevens also punted in fine shape Saturday, outdistancing his Oglethorpe adversary. Ham's kicks were certainly of more than the 2.75 per cent variety and his passing was well, while on two or three occasions he stepped in the receiving end of a pass for good gains. Polly Scokel also played brilliantly at times, with little Tinklepaugh coming in for a good share of praise. Harwood is the boy who is wearing the laurel out at East Lake, however, for Harwood was the man who put over the lone Baptist touchdown and immediately following it Ham kicked goal for the extra point.

Harwood scored on the samo play with which Redfern outwitted Howard just a few minutes earlier. It was the delayed buck and he went through an opening large enough for the ZR-3 to glide through sidewise. A small crowd witnessed the Saturday affair, most of the rabid football fans being in Tuscaloosa, where the Crimson Tide was beating the Wild Cat into submission. My tip to the football wiseacres is that Birmingham-Southern bids fair to run into some tough sailing when they go against the Bulldog at Rickwood Field, Nov. 22 in their annual classic.

Drew has built a great defensive line at Southern, but Stevens, Scokel and Tinklepaugh, et al, are going to prove mighty dangerous when the fight of the year comes off. line only to Stallworth recovered for Tuscaloosa, and free kicked out, after two running tries failed, the backs slipping in the greasy footing. The rest of the first period passed without incident. Frees splendid kicking kept his goal line well out of danger. He gained over 10 yards on every exchange.

Second Quarter the second quarter opened Woodlawn was in possession of the ball on her 35-yard ribbon. From there the invaders swung into another swashbuckling attack. This time it was not interrupted, and Nunnally, who. with Levvy, had done most of the gaining, lunged across the last five yards for the counter. Allen kicked goal.

Tuscaloosa for the first time showed life when Suther swung outside right end for a well-executed 25-yard run. A 15-yard clipping penalty a moment later placed the ball on Woodlawn's 38-yard line, but here a trio of passes failed and Free kicked. Woodlawn's first passing attempt went through from Burns to Levvy for 10 yards just as the half closed, Woodlawn was placed in an embarrassing predicament immediately following the start of the second quarter when Levvy was rushed on a punt after the kickoff, and Tuscaloosa gained the ball on the Gold and White 22-yard stripe. Levvy intercepted a pass, however, on the next play, and for the fourth time the Magic Citians leaped into the double quick. This time the gains were larger, averaging over six yards, for the Bears were tiring fast.

Burns featured the march, his twisting drives finding hole after hole to go tearing through. Burns took it across and Allen again booted the goal. Suther again got away early in the last period when he ripped off 22 yards, but Griffin's interception of 8 pass halted the menace. Levvy got outside his right end on the next play and ran 30 yards to the Bear 35-yard line. After he missed a placement kick the locals again tried their passes, Burns intercepting.

A 36-yard placement try was again unsuccessful, and then came the Tuscaloosa touchdown. The game closed a few moments afterward. Backfield Shines The work of the visiting backfield easily featured the game. Levvy called a fairly good game, while his running was a constant threat.
