In every maneuver there is i nation, and the squad as a whole is one of the most willing to aid a teammate, even though it means headlines for io ther fCl" JOE.

DEMYANOVICH End runs, reverses, fake reverses, spinners, triple passes, an end around end, long and short passes and just straight football go into its repertoire of The spearhead of the attack is Millard (Dixie) Howell, speedy and elusive triple threat halfback. He is the marked man in every game, a large part of the deception that gives Jimmy Angelich, his halfback teammate; Joe Demyanovich, fullback. and Riley Smith, quarterback, chance to get underway. Howell, slender, almost fragile looking, has taken more punishment than any other man on the squad, but so well have his teammates blocked that he has been able to maintain his average yards of more than six yards per try this year. Not quite so fast, but a little heftier, Angelich slants off tackles and around ends from reverses and direct plays and has developed into an excellent defensive man.

Smith, a triple threat man in his own right, was a fullback until this year when Coach Frank Thomas converted him into the blocking quarterback necessary to the effectiveness of the Notre Dame attack. A few times Smith has carried the ball, usually when the final yard is needed for touchdown. His judgment in calling plays has made the Red Regiment click. When Demyanovich matriculated, he had never played football. He was a willing freshman and showed natural ability and this year as a senior he is ranked as one of the best fullbacks in Dixie.

Alabama's line is flanked this year by the best pair of ends in many years with Don Hutson, 190-pound All-America, on one terminal and Paul Bryant, who weighs nearly 200, at the other. Both are fast, going down under punts well, tackle like battering rams, and each has speed enough to gain ground consistently on an end around end play. Hutson has few equals as a pass receiver. Husky Tackles Tackle berths are held by two big husky fellows with tremendous strength and their replacements are almost as big. One tackle is anchored by Capt.

Bill Lee, All-America, and the other by Jim Whatley, almost as big as Lee, who tips 222 pounds. The guards, while playing a fine game this year, are not to be compared with Jones and Buckler, of the first Rose Bowl squad. Charlie Marr has developed into one of the finest guards in the South this year, weighing 214 pounds that he uses aggressively. Bob Ed Morrow, weighing in at 190, is faster and meets plays. Kavanaugh Francis, center weighing in at M0 pounds, has been injured through the season, but is now back in form.

He is a steady, accurate passer and a fine man backing the line on the 8-2-2-1 defense. He has snared a number of passes for the flat zone. In reserve strength this years eleven is probably better than any other. The backfield loses a little in weight in substitutions but picks up in speed. The line loses little in weight, or aggressiveness.

In Joe Riley and Young Boozer, the Crimsons have two of the fastest sophomores to bloom in a number of years. Charlie Stapp is a fine passer and good runner, and Ben McLeod is the equal of any of the backs in taking basses. A sophomore, Bubber Nesbit has been the man generally called when Joe Demyanovich at fullback needed a breathing spell. Little Difference Except for weight there is little difference in line play and Ralph Gandy and Jim Walker replace Hutson and Bryant Ben Baswell, a 212 senior, was a reported as a clash. The only thing that is worrying the Alabama mentors is a possible ailment or two that might occur on the practice field between now and Christmas.

Bill Lee, who proved himself one of the outstanding captains in Alabama football history during the past season, will pilot his mates through Alabamas fourth Rose Bowl battle. Three times has Alabama been in the Tournament of Roses, never losing. Alabamas first team will be in almost perfect form by game time next Jan. 1, if their progress thus far this year is any indication as to their ability to improve further. The first stringers for that matter, the whole team will be mighty hard to hold, Stanford will find.

There has been much said for and about Bevan, of Minnesota, some liking him. some not But everybody liked Hartwig and Ormis- ton, so they're in. There may be some argument too. concerning the choice of Wendt over Larson, of Minnesota, at end.

The choice was made because Larson, awhile considered a great defensive end, was just a shade weak on passes. In the same way, Robinson, of Notre Dame, was a remarkable center on defense. But Lester, of Texas Christian, did everything well, with Patterson being rated the best center in the Middle West, where good centers usually are a commonplace. Hutson Best In Decade BY KENNETH GREGORY Aociated Press Sport Writer Their football wars at an end, the Green Wave, of Tulane, and the Crimson Tide, of Alabama, nailed their colors on the masthead Monday signalizing their triumphant conquest in tne 1934 Southeastern Conference gridiron campaign. Last September when the 13 entries lined the barrier for the race, the Greenies and the Red Regiment were heralded as elevens of championship caliber.

Tulane marched victoriously over eight conference enemies and Alabama crushed seven to uphold the faith placed in them. The Crimson Tide, one of the nations few unbeaten and untied teams, was rewarded for its all-conquering drive with an invitation to play Stanford in the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena next New Year's Day. Alabama's great eleven, featuring the all-America linemen, Don Hutson and Capt. Bill Lee, and the flashy Dixie Howell plans to return to the toils of preparation for the Rose Bowl combat this week. Tulane, which has lost only to Colgate in an intersectional fray, wound up its schedule in a blaze of glory, triumphing 13 to 12 over Louisiana State's previously unbeaten Tigers Saturday.

It was a close and bitterly contested battle between two evenly matched machines. First In S. E. C. The defeat was the first within the Southeastern loop for L.

S. U. since Capt. Biff Jones took over the coaching duties three years ago. The Tigers, although tied several times, had gone through 18 consecutive games without a setback.

Hopes of Louisiana State to entep-e-claim for a share of the conference title were shattered as the Greenies counted seven points in the opening period, dropped behind when the Tigers scored touchdowns in the next two quarters and then triumphed as Monk Simons raced 43 yards to score in the last period. In the Southeastern Louisiana State and Tennessee stage the final fray next Saturday and upon the outcome hinges third place in the final standings. Each has won four games and lost one in the league, Tennessees defeat being administered by Alabama, the 1933 champion. Outside the conference the Volunteers have lost only to Fordham, while the Baton Rouge Bengals record is tarnished only by ties with Rice and Southern Methodist, a pair of strong Southwest Conference teams. They play at Knoxville and an unusually close battle is expected.

It will mark the last game for Tennessee under Maj. Robert Neyland's coaching regime, for the War Department has ordered him to report to Panama for two years, starting in January. L. S. U.

Plays Oregon Louisiana State rings down the curtain on the season at Baton Rouge on Dec. 15 when Oregon goes there for an intersectional contest In final games of the season last Saturday, Georgias Bulldogs found Georgia Tech a tough customer but managed to inaugurate a drive that carried 56 yards to a touchdown in the last minutes to win 7 to 0. The Yellow Jackets, playing in the best form they had shown all year, marched to the Georgia eight-yard line early in the game but lacked the punch to score and again in the second period got within scoring distance only to lose the ball on downs. Mississippi won its annual tussle with Mississippi State, 7 to 3, and Florida closed its campaign by trouncing Stetson, 14 to 0. In the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Furman, Union College, Millsaps, Centenary and Rollins finished undefeated, while Birmingham Southern in the basement without a victory in intra-league competition.

However, in all competition the standing of these teams is exactly reversed. Outstanding individual scoring performances during the season were turned in by stars of almost every team in the loop. Honors for traveling the longest distance for a touchdown are shared by Allen Bloodworth, of Mercer, and Harry Craft, of Mississippi College. They ran back kickoffs 90 yards for counters. Jack Palmes, of Spring Hill, was not far behind, relling off an 85-yard sprint from scrimmage for a touchdown.

Ike Young, of Birmingham Southern, traveled 75 yards with an intercepted pass, while Elmer Hendren, of Centre, ran back a punt 68 yards across the goal line and scored a 70-yard touchdown from scrimmage. The most unusual scoring play of the season probably was pulled off by Bill Johnson, of Birmingham-Southern. He was trailing Ernest Teel, his teammate, who had just intercepted a Tampa University pass when Teel tried to change hands with the ball, he dropped it Johnson snatched the pigskin up and completed the run, sprinting 60 yards in scoring. Best scoring performances of the sea- BY HERBERT W. BARKER NEW YORK (F) Except for sporadic firing in the South and Far West leading up the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena on New Years Day, the football season is over but the thrills it produced will linger on for many weeks.

Navys conquest of Army, 3-0, in the mud and rain at Philadelphia on Saturday the Tars first victory over West Point since 1921 furnished a dramatic and fitting climax to a campaign that saw sectional title-holders in 1933 swept from their thrones almost without exception. The sensational upheavals of the past season saw Alabama's Crimson Tide, Rose Bowl nominees, and Minnesota's Gophers alone among major schools wind up their regular schedules undefeated and un-tied. It witnessed, too, the collapse, of such former powers as Southern California, Michigan, Nebraska and Utah. Alabama, Stanford and the Colorado Aggies, alone were able to negotiate the championship heights for the second year in succession. Alabamas 34-0 trouncing of Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Day enabled the Tide to share the Southeastern Conference crown with Tulanes Green Wave, which eliminated Huey Longs Louisiana State Tigers, 13-12, on Saturday.

L. S. U. had been co-champion with Alabama a year ago. Stanford's Indians, who will represent the Far West against Alabama in the Rose Bowl game, annexed clear claim to the Pacific Coast title this year where they had been forced to share it with Southern California and Oregon last year.

The Colorado Aggies finished in a triple tie for the Rocky Mountain championship for the second year in succession but their co-titil-ists this time are Colorado University and Colorado Teachers. Last year the co-holders were Utah and Denver. Otherwise, the dethroning of 1933 champions was complete. Minnesota, generally ranked the most powerful eleven in the land, swept to the Big Ten crown Michigan's CHICAGO Lou Gehrig finally has caught up with the American League batting championship. Usually a contender for the top honor during his career with the New York Yankees, Gehrig reached it last season with an average of .363, there was not a doubt of it at the end of the season and the official averages, just released, merely made his title official.

In addition to the batting title, Gehrig improved his major league record for playing in consecutive games to 1,504. His batting achievement included the home run leadership at 49 circuit blows. The total bases leadership at 409. second place in hits and third position in scoring. Charley Gehringer, of the league champion Detroit Tigers, landed second place in batting with a mark of .356.

Led in scoring with 134 runs and punched out 214 hits to lead that department. Gehrig had 210 hits and scored 128 times; Bill Werber, young Boston Red Sox infielder, stole 40 bases for a leadership, and ranked between Gehringer and Gehrig in scoring with 129 runs. Following Gehrig and Gehringer in batting were: Heinie Manush, Washington, 349; Al Simmons, Chicago, 344; Joe Vosmik, Cleveland, 341; Hank Greenberg, Detroit, 339; Jimmy Foxx, Athletics, the 1933 champion, 334; Hal Rosky, Cleveland, Michael (Pinky) Higgins, Athletics, 330; Sam West. St Louis, 326. Ben Chapmans 13 triples gave him a leadership, and Greenberg slapped out 63 doubles for another.

George (Mule) Haas, Chicago, led iin sacrifices with 24. The Tiger, batted an even .300 to win the team-batting title, and scored a total of 958 runs for top honors. The 1934 season produced Increases in every phase except hitting triples, of which there were 96 less than in 1933. Last season there were 331 more hits made, 225 more runs, 136 more doubles, 80 more homers, 12 more sacrifice hits, 238 more passes, 376 more strikeouts, 200 more runs batted in, and 97 more stolen bases. The Tigers dominated the league both at home and abroad.

At Na-vin Field they won 54 games and lost 27 for a percentage of .667. On foreign fields they gained 47 victories and last 26 games for .644.

This team, by the way, is strictly success team. Its first team players, with two exceptions, Lester and Williams, were members of the leading teams of the country, Minnesota, Stanford, Alabama, Pittsburgh, Ohio State. Their selection ATLANTA (IP) Claude Littla Monk Simons, already given recognition as an all-Southeastem back, Monday was crowned the champion point maker of the Big 13 Loop.

Tulane badly needed the touchdown Simons scored on L. S. U. Saturday, but the Green Wave ace was assured of high scoring honors without the marker which placed Tulane along with Alabama at the top of the conference. Simons total of 69 points is nine better than that of his nearest competitor, Millard Dixie Howell, Alabama's great halfback.

Both scored 10 touchdowns during the season, but Simons also kicked 9 points after. The power of the great Alabama grid machine which was invited to meet Stanford in the Rose Bowl New Years Day is further demonstrated by the presence of six Alabama players, one of them an end, among the 18 leading scorers. Bert Johnson, Kentuckys all-Southeastem halfback, is in third place in the seasons leaders with 55 points. Johnson failed to score against Tennessee Thanksgiving Day. The positions of leading scorers may be changed a bit as a result of points made in the L.

S. game Saturday and the L. S. game next week, but it is hardly likely either L. S.

U. or Tennessee players will oust the three leaders. Sullivan of the Louisiana Tigers, and Dickens and Vaughan of Tennessee, have 30 points each.

Washington Lees Generals, outpointing South Carolina, 14-7, last Thursday ascended the Southern Conference throne occupied jointly by Duke and South Carolina last season.

In the East, Jack Sutherlands Pittsburgh Panthers, beaten only by Minnesota and only opponent to give the Gophers a real battle, generally were regarded as the outstanding team in the section. They defeated all Eastern rivals handily and gave Navys fine eleven, otherwise undefeated, a 31-6 trouncing. Last year Princeton, undefeated and untied, finished with the best record among major Eastern schools. The principal disappointments of the season were Michigan and Southern California. Undefeated Big Ten champions in 1933, the Wolverines won only one game in eight a 9-2 triumph over Georgia Tech's Engineers, themselves walloped nine times in 10 games.

Trimmed by Washington, 14-7, on Saturday, Southern California wound up its Pacific Coast Conference schedule with one victory, one tie and four defeats, the worst record any Trojan team has made since Howard Jones became head coadh, but theyll have a chance to partially redeem themselves this Saturday against Notre Dame. Utahs Indians, who dominated the Rocky Mountain group for six years, were beaten twice In conference competition this year, but had the satisfaction of ruining Utah States title bid with a 14-7 victory Thanksgiving Day. Nebraska not only surrendered its Big Six crown to Kansas State, but was soundly drubbed by Minnesota and Pittsburgh, further indication that the usually powerful Huskers had struck a sub-normal season. Outstanding Upset Perhaps the oustanding upset of the season was the 7-0 victory Yales Bulldogs achieved over Princeton. a-auiiuugs ttuuevcu uvet itv iuu Final complete scoring record, all games: vimojr College.

Widely known as a historian, he teaches the subject at Auburn and is dean of the graduate school.

Here over the week-end for meetings of deans of graduate schools of Southern colleges and schools, Dean Petrie got in a word or two about the sport closest to his heart. Verbal Bouquet While predicting an Alabama victory in the Rose Bowl, the dean took occasion to toss a verbal bouquet at the Red Elephants.

Of the long broken relations between Auburn and Alabama, Dean Petrie said: The State Legislature cant make us play as has been suggested. For that matter, we couldn't make the boys play if they didn't want to.

The schools themselves don't want it." The dean himself said he was op-j posed to the renewal, although he had nothing but words of praise for I the boys at the Capstone, Bitter rivalry developed into such serious proportions that the- Tides-, men and Plainsmen shelved their' annual football battle in 1907 and since they have met in but one athletic contest.
