Alabama's victory In 1926 was the heralding of great things for Southern football. It served notice on the West, the Midwest and the East that the South had come into the nationwide football picture. Wallace Wade was Invited back with his Crimson Tide for the 1927 Rose Bowl game.

Again Alabama stunned the Pacific Coast by holding Pop Warner'! Stanford team to a seven-all deadlock. Alabama went back to the Rose Bowl for the 1931 game. Wade's last Crimson Tide. And the Crimsons bowled over Washington State, 24 to 0. Frank Thomas took his first Alabama team to Pasadena for the 1935 game, beating Stanford's great vow boys.

Dixie Howell and Don Hutson became famous over America for the performance they put on that dazed Stanford and the brilliant Bobby Grayson, 29 to 13. Alabama went back for its fifth appearance in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1938. losing to California, 13 to 0. Alabama is the only school outside of the Pacific Coast Conference to play In five Rose Bowl here Saturday againat Army', powerful, undefeated eleven that has rolled unmercifully in a point-a-mioute scoring rampage over eight hapless opponents.

Ole Miss Jolts Delta With 13 To 8 Vidory Over State Maroons BY CHICK HOSCH ATLANTA. Ga. UP) Notre Dame completely outclassed Georgia Tech Saturday and behind the triple threat talents of Frank Dan-cewtcz and the running of Rob Kelly and Jim Brennan, pounded out a 21-0 victory. Except for a aecond period sustained drive, good for 81 yards, the Engineers never threatened, being halted at the Irish 15. They bad one other opportunity in the waning minutes of the game, getting a first down at the Irish 25.

after taking the ball on downs at the visitors 35. However, four passes went awry and the Irish started up field as the game ended. A crowd of 29,000 jammed every available foot of space, but Bill A1 exander, the Engineers' veteran coach, was not among those present. Under orders of his physician, he remained at home. Assistant Coach Bobby Dodd directed the team.

The Irish scored In less than five minutes of the opening quarter the first time they got the ball, with Brennan, a 155-pound halfback, going 10 yards around end to climax a 44-yard drive. Steve Nemeth came in to kick the extra point, making it 7-0 for the visitors. Play then settled down to a punting duel between Dancewicz and Frank Broyles, the Engineers' triple threat fullback. The second quarter was a continuation of the see-saw action until midway of the period, when George Sullivan of the Irish recovered a Tech fumble on the Notre Dame 43. The Irish scored twice in the second half, driving 69 yards with the third period kick-off, and 19 yards in the final period after a pass interception.

A pass from Dancewicz to Kelly covered the final 40 yards of the second touchdown, while Brennan lunged over from the one on the final score. Nemeth added both kicks from placement. The Irish led in all offensive departments, having 19 first downs to nine for Tech, and 260 yards rushing to 57 for the Engineers, of 14 Irish passes, nine were completed for 122 yards, while Tech connected with only nine in 29 attempts, good for 80 yards. Six of Techs passes were completed during the long second period drive. Notre Dame's passing defense, which allowed only three completions of 16 attempts by Tech in the second half, poor tackling by the Engineers, and aggressive play by the Irish line spelled the difference.

For the Irish, the victory was the seventh in nine games. It was Tech's second defeat in nine starts. Notre Dame Skoglund. left end: Mar-genthal, left tackle; Wetternklrchner, left guard; center: Martz, right guard; Sullivan, right tackle; Waybright, end; Dee, fullback; Kelly, left half; (Doc) Blanchard, the other, Tom Lombardo, Davis, Bobby Dodds and Dean Sensanbaugher. Eight outfits haven't been able to stop these galloping Cadets, but many say Army hasnt yet run into a stonewall like Navys line.

Navy got off poorly, probably because Hagberg with almost an equal bankroll of backfield talent, couldn't get a clicking combination for his single wing offensive. Earlier, Navy tried substituting back-fields as units, but in later games such stars as Bobby Jenkins, Hal Hamberg, Clyde Scott, Bill Barron, Tom Dwyer, Dick Duden, Ralph Ellsworth, Jim Pettit, Bruce Smith, have been shot into the fray whenever the needs of the moment requierd. Army holds the lead in the series, begun in 1890, 22 games to 19, with three ties. ff So te With Stole Form luturonce Co. accommodations.

Travel restrictions caused a shift of the 1942 game to Annapolis, where only about 12,000 attended, while last year about 16,000 saw the game at West Point, This Army eleven, led by Halfback Glenn Davis who has scored 19 touchdowns, rolled up 481 points against North Carolina, Brown, Pittsburgh, Coast Guard Academy. Duke, Villanova, Notre Dame and Pennsylvania. Navy, upset by North Carolina Pre-Flight, 21-14, in the opener, and Georgia Tech, 17-15, in its fourth game, has come along fast with victories over Penn State, Duke. Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Cornell and Purdue. Regardless of their seasonal records.

however, the team that wins this big one" counts it as a successful year, and Army hasn't been able to stop Navy since 1938. Col. Emory (Swede) Larson, now stationed with the Marines in Washington, started the Middies off on their present victory string with a 10-0 decision in 1939, and followed it with 74-0 and 14-6 wins in 1940 and '41, all at Philadelphia. Larson has never lost to Army as player or I coach, for he played center on the 1919-20-21 Navy teams that defeated West Point at the Polo Grounds in New York. The Navy successes were con- tinued by Capt.

John E. (Billick) Whelchel when his 1942 and 1943 teams won, 14-0 and 13-0. Lb. Col. Earl H.

(Red) Blaik, Army head coach since 1941, will be making his fourth bid for a victory over Navy, opposing the Middies new mentor, Comdr. Oscar E. Hagberg, who came to Annapolis this year after Capt. Whelchel was i ordered to sea duty. Blaik played right end on the 1919 Army team that lost a 0-6 decision to Navy, Swede Larson and Right Tackle Clyde King, whose two field goals accounted for the scoring.

Hagberg played fullback for Navy in the 1930 game which Army won, 6-0. Blaik's 1944 team, using the T-formation with devastating effect, i has had only 28 points scored against it, not more than seven in any one game. The Cadets employ two shifty backfield combinations, one composed of Doug Kenna, Dale Hall, Max Minor and Felix BOB PHILLIPS Sporti Editor Th Birmingham Ag-Hrald JACKSONVILLE. War rlngton and Curtla Kuykendall, co-raptalna of the Auburn Tigera and co-itara of the season's final triumph over Miami In the Orange Bowl Friday night, have been accorded one of the hlgheat honors that can come to a college football player an Invitation to play In the Eaat-Weat game at San Francisco. The Invitation by letter from Bernie Bierman to Coach Carl Voylet.

was issued before the Tigers played Miami but Tex and Curtis did nothing at Miami to make Bier-man sorry. Far from it, as you've already learned. When another football season rolls around, the 35 Tigers who traveled to Miami will be widely scattered. About a dozen of them are sure to be in school again next Fall: the others will be serving Uncle Sam or in civilian life trying to make a living. Most of the boys expecting a service call are jn the Army Air Corps Reserve and probably will be in school through the current semester.

Such boys as Russell Inman. James McDaniel and Cliff Grubbe are in this group. Noland Lang, Harold Watkins. Dan Hattaway, San Swindell, Wormy Ballard. Dan Snell, Everett Harwell, Raymond Stringer, Burke Dupuy, Reid Trapani and Clifford Yearby are those who are reasonably sure of being available next Fall.

All but Lang are either 4-F or discharged service men. Lang has just reached his 17th birthday and therefore will not be called up until the 1945 season is practically over. If he can rid himself of the injury jinx that has pestered him all Fall, Lang should be a key man in the Tiger offense next year. He weighs 205 pounds and is the fastest man on the squad yes, faster even than Kuykendall, the conference 440 champ in a wind springs of 30 or 40 yards. Noland doesnt pass or kick expertly but he can kick a football farther than any other boy on the squad and he can throw one farther, too.

So Voyles is planning to use Noland at tailback, one of three backfield positions he played for Auburn this season when he wasn't on Wilbur Hutsells casualty list. Not too many others of the dozen or so holdover Tigers are expected to figure prominently in the 1945 Tiger pattern, if Voyles has fair success in this resolution to battle for Auburns share of the high school talent in Alabama and adjacent territory with not too much emphasis on adjacent. One Tiger, Cliff Grubbs, is Slated for a visit to Dr. John D. Sherrill in Birmingham early in the new year.

Cliff has a full-fledged case of football knee, a hangover from his high school days. Cliff put in a little time at tailback this year and defiintely is on Auburns list of prospects, that is if the military doesn't take him bad knee and all. Tex Warrington was on the return train, which naturally would be the case, what with Mrs. Tex and the Warrington infant son waiting for daddy back home in Auburn, but if you had any idea that Tex, as a sort of wartime Tiger would head for New Jersey at the final whistle, you are wrong. He is looking forward to staying at Auburn getting his degree and become a genuine Auburn alumnus.

I think he means it, too, said Vovles. "In fact, I know he means jt. Tex is a student With more time for his studies he may hit the A group. You know I am proud of a record that my boss at William and Mary set and Im counting on the same thing at Auburn. Up there every boy who kept eligible for three years of varsity football went on to graduate.

Warringtons All-American candidacy got a boost from one of Wallace Wades old Duke aces, Lt. Ek B. Dunlap, who played center in Wades early years there, while Voyles was on the staff. Dunlap is an orthopedic surgeon in the Army here and sat on the Auburn bench Friday night. Dan Hill was a great center for Duke while I was there.

said Dr. Dunlap (who inquires after his old John Hopkins friend. Dr. G. E.

(Bud) Fisher) after seeing Warrington perform, and I have always regarded Woojie, the Ford-ham center, as the best of them all. But I now rate Warrington the top man. Auburns schedule for 1945 is very much unsettled. Only three games are definite Georgia. Georgia Tech and Tulane.

each an old Auburn standby. The Mississippi State game is not fixed. Nor is it assured GET EAST-WEST BIDS Curtis Kuykendall (top above) and Tex Warrington (below), co-captains of the Auburn Tigers, received bids to the annual East-West football game which is to be played in San Francisco Jan. 1. Bernie Bierman sent the bids to Coach Carl Voyles, of Auburn, before Auburn's game with Miami Friday night.

In the game, with Miami. Kuykendall, who plays tailback on the Auburn eleven, scored four of his teams six touchdowns, and Warrington, All-American center candidate, was the line star. Both Kuykendall and Warrington have been the big guns in the Auburn attack all season. BY SKIPPER PATRICK UNIVERSITY, Mis. (P) An Inspired University of Mississippi football team struck through the air to set up two touchdowns and upset favored Mississippi State, 13 to 8, in the 41st renewal of their rivalry here Saturday.

It was little Johnny Bruce, southpaw passer from West Point, who engineered two touchdown drives to.give the Rebels their first win over a Mississippi State team since 1938. Bruce passed to Fullback Jerry Tiblier on the last play of the first quarter to put the ball on Mississippi State's 25-yard-line. On the third play of the second period Capt. Bob McCain, lanky end, scored the first touchdown of the game on an end-around. Clyde Hooker's attempted placement kick was blocked.

Mississippi State, playing without the full services of their great Tom (Shorty) McWilliams, stormed back to tie the score later in the second period and came within a few yards of getting a second touchdown. Neither team was able to make much of a threat in the third period. But the Mississippi State came to life with five minutes of play remaining in the last quarter to score a safety and the Rebels to make a desperate goal-line stand to earn their victory. Hiller.v Horne. State tackle, blocked Bruce's punt and the Maroons got a safety when the ball bounced over the Rebel goal and off the playing field.

Shorty McWilliams entered the game for Mississippi State late in the game and when Darrell Brent's free kick went out of the Maroons 32-yard line the Rebels found themselves in a hole. McWilliams passed and plunged to the four-yard line where it was first down and seconds to play. Jerry Tiblier, of Ole Miss, intercepted a pass to end the threat.

Voyles feels that Auburn should have a little more sav so about dates and terms when contracts are drawn md is going to stand up for its rights, it is judged from discussing schedule matters with him.

The Miami game was played for a straight guarantee, and Auburn did all right certainly if the crowd was only the 10.578 reported in the newspapers. Miami U. already has asked the Tigers return, but Voyles was not ready to commit himself. Voyles main objective now is to land a suitable homecoming opponent for the Tigers, and by suitable he means broadly, a conference game It doesn't matter how tough just so it's a conference game. games.

The Cotton Bowl invited Alabama to play Homer Norton Texas Aggies Jan. 1, 1942. And Alabama won 29 to 21 in a game played in near zero temperature. It was the game in which Alabama made touchdowns instead of first downs. The Orange Bowl invited Alabama to play Boston College on Jan.

1, 1943, and after a shaky start, the Crimsons rallied to beat Boston, 37-to-21, in what the Orange Bowlers claim is the greatest of all Orange Bowl battles. In going to the Sugar Bowl, Alabama becomes the second team in the country to play in the four major bowl games Georgia Tech became the first when the Yellow Jackets beat Tulsa 20 to 18 on Jan. 1. 1944. Alabama can set a new bowl record by winning, come the first of 1945.

Tech lost in the Cotton Bowl. Arch Ward Is Quarterback Club's Speaker Arch Ward, who was co-guest speaker with Coach Frank Leahy for the 1943 football jgmboree, will be the guest speaker for the last regular meeting of the Monday Morning Quarterback Club. And he will find the Quarterbacks in high, good spirits over the most excellent campaign they conducted for Bonded Sideline Coaches for the Crippled Children's Clinic game. Ward wowed the Quarterbacks at the December meeting. He drove home the value of competitive sports.

Since here last, Ward has written a book on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. And he has done yeoman work in behalf of nationwide recreational facilities and competitive sports for playgrounds. Arch is the originator of the major leagues All-Star baseball game and the All-Star football game in Chicago. Reports will be made on the progress of the Quarterbacks jamboree party at the Thomas Jefferson Dec 8. The club will be host to the Southeastern Conference presidents, athletic directors and coaches and Southern football writers.

Harry Wismer, of the Blue Network, will broadcast the party on a nationwide hookup. Tickets for the jamboree can be obtained Monday at the regular meeting for both members and guests. No tickets can be obtained after Monday, Dec. 4. Each member has the privilege of inviting one guest.

Members of the Sugar Bowl committee have accepted invitations to be guests of the club. The party will bring here one of the greatest collections of sports celebs in the history of Birmingham. led Hot Entertainment For Tide Dinner Alabama alumni of Jefferson County will open the grid dinner season with a banquet for Alabama's eighth bowl team Wednesday night at the Tutwiler. It will be one of the most lavish banquets in the history of dinners for Alabama football teams with a red-hot program of entertainment. This is the 23rd banquet by the Jefferson County chapter and for the first time the custom of giving watches will not be observed, as there are no seniors being graduated from the football squad.

This year the money spent for watches will be used for a memorial placque honoring the Alabama boys who gave their lives in World War I and World War II. The placque will be placed on the new electric football scoreboard the university will erect in Denny Stadium. Jake Taylor, new president of the Jefferson County chapter, has been holding daily meetings of his arrangements committee for the dinner. All of Alabama's illustrous living sons of the gridiron and diamond have been invited to be guests along with the football coaches and the football players. If the committee obtains the entertainment it is seeking, some of Americas foremost showmen and artists will appear on the program.

There are many name stars of the entertainment world now in Alabama. And from this galaxy of stars will come entertainers for the dinner. Invitations have been accepted by Riley Smith, All-American quarterback: Pete Camp, Cupe Perry, Riggs Stepheson, Joe Sewell, Wu Winslett and Paul Bryant, former assistant coach. Lonnie Noojin, former athletic director, who has played an important role in the university's new medical center and Hank Crisp, former athletic director, now on leave at the Navy's Pre-Flight School at Athens, will be present. Alabama alumni have much to be proud of in this year's team.

And it should be a stemwinder of an affair. The kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 and it will be a full-house celebration. Baseball Mourns A Great Leader All professional baseball and those who love baseball are mourning the loss of Kenesaw Landis, commissioner of organized baseball since 1921. The man. who was responsible for restoring confidence in organized baseball after the Black Sox scandal, died Saturday.

Fans and baseball owners alike respected the sincerity and honesty of Kennesaw Landis. He will go down in history as the man who kept baseball our great national pastime after the Black Sox tried to throw the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. Who will succeed Kenesaw Landis as commissioner? If the club owners are unable to agree, the president of the United States will name his successor. Who ever takes over the rule of all organized baseball will find it a difficult assignment. Jim Farley, James Byrnes and Leslie O'Connor have frequently been mentioned as a successor to Landis.

Many baseball men think Warren Giles, who heads up the Cincinnati club, would make a logical successor. He is known as a fearless leader and he certainly knows all the angles of the game. In the death of Landis baseball has lost its most colorful and dynamic figure a man known the length and breadth of the United States And no one loved baseball more than the commissioner. Don Hutson Taking Final Bow Today Don Hutson, Alabamas All-American end and professional football's all-time number player, plays his last game for the Green Bay Packers against the Cards-Pitts in Comiskey Park Sunday. Don has announced his retirement several times but says this is the finale.

He holds 19 national football league records for his 10 years in the game. Look for Tex Warrington, Auburn: Phil Tinsley, Georgia Tech, and Shorty McWilliams, of Mississippi State, to make many of the All-American selections. Warrington is All-America in any era of football. He showed it best in defeat in the Georgia game. Don't forget the boys at Northington.

They can use golf clubs and old golf balls. Two good sets of clubs have been turned in. Here's hoping Tulsa doesn't disappoint the Miami fans like they did the New Orleans fans by wearing numerals it took a pair of field glasses to read. Coach Henry Frnka apologized for using the small numerals but it was too late to keep from ruining an afternoon for the fans. He certainly has time to get larger numerals before New Year Day if Tulsa is still using the midget numerals.

Jack Baldwin and his Orange Bowl committee are to be congratulated upon the selection of Georgia-Tech and Tulsa. It should be an exciting game in keeping with the thrillers of the past Orange Bowl games. Fans weren't surprised when Slats Marion was voted the most valuable player in the National League. More lines were written about Marion than any other player in the league all season. The Rose Bowl selection committee made it known from the start that Ohio State was the first choice from east of California to play in the Rose Bowl game.

There's no rule in the Big Ten against the Buckeyes playing a post-season game. Faculty members have just been against it. Pvt. Millard (Dixie) Howell, not kin to Alabama's Dixie, is a German war prisoner. He belonged to one of Cleveland's farm clubs.

Bob Finley, who was sold by Knoxville to Philadelphia Phillies, was sent to the Pacific Coast League in a deal for Les Scarsella and Harold Spindel. A great football season bows out next Saturday with the Army and Navy climaxing the season. Here's what many think will be the greatest game ever played between collegiate teams. Alabama will ride the Navy wagon with Don Whitemire and Bobby Tom Jenkins, stars of Alabama's last bowl game, playing for the Middies. Wonder if the Huns' propaganda outfit will feature the game as internal strife between the Army and Navy? Jimmy Couey.

assistant sports editor of The Birmingham News, is now on duty in France. He has been through several bombings and flew over the German fortifications in France before the big push. Jimmy is with the Merchant Marines. Ohio State Topples Wolverines, 18-14, Captures Loop Title Parker, 'Cats Signed For Negro Benefit Tilt Yale Elis Deadlock With Cavaliers, 6-6 wE A new lineup of teams to play the game for the benefit of the Birmingham Negro Tuberculosis Association has been arranged with the Parker High Thundering Herd meeting the Westfield Wildcats at Legion Field Monday night, Dec. 4.

All-Stars. But the clinic game 2 BY HAROLD HARRISON COLUMBUS. Ohio (P) Ohio State's all-civilian football team roared from behind in the closing minutes Saturday to defeat Michigan, 18 to 14, and thus win the Big Ten football championship, finish an unbeaten and untied season and put itself in a spot to go to he Rose Bowl if the Western Conference lifts its ban on post-season games. A crowd of 71.958 screaming fans watched the Bucks get up off the floor to march 52 yards late in the fourth period and score the winning touchdown with only three minutes and 16 seconds to go. And then a leaping pass interception by Dick Flanagan finally sealed Michigan's doom a moment later.

That gave the Bucks the ball again and they stalled away the time remaining. The victory gave Ohio State a season record of nine straight triumphs and brought the Big Ten championship to the Bucks for the second time in three years. This was their first unbeaten and untied regular season since 1920. Starting late in the third period, Michigan put on the longest sustained march of the game 83 yards to go in front with Culligan bull NON-SKID PROTECTION PO PALL AMO WINTER DRIVING NEW HAVEN, Yale and Virginia struggled to a 6-to-6 deadlock Saturday in a contest that was pleasing to neither team nor to the 18,000 frost bitten spectators. Yale wanted a triumph to complete its first unbeaten, untied season since 1923 and Virginia had pointed for its visit here since midseason in hopes of getting revenge for a 21 to 19 setback in 1941, its only loss that season.

Saturday's game started as if the Cavalier hopes would be fulfilled. Yale didnt get across the midfield stripe until late in the second period. Virginia, meanwhile, sent John Duda on an eight-yard scoring jaunt late in the first. The Elis countered that tally with one of their own on a 79-yard march that featured Roger Barksdale and William Penn, the latter scoring. Duda missed the conversion of his touchdown and Francis Collins trotted onto the field to maki Yale's futile attempt.

WITH Timtoti resident manager of Southtown. committee. headed by A. B. White, felt that it would be a better card to have the game played between two schools.

The Herd and Wildcats have identical records, both winning five out of six games played. Westfield's only loss of the season was their opening game with Parker which the Herd captured. 27 to 7. West-field held Parker at 7-all during the first half. The Wildcats have improved considerably since their first game.

Coach Major Brown will start drilling the Herd Monday for this return game. Coach Arthur (Scad) Green has already begun to whip his bovs into mental condition for the battle. Two great backfield stars will oppose each other in this game. Parkers great Buttercup Rose and Westfields unstoppable Bobo Evans, both selected on the A1I-G. B.
