(ipi A dazzling 43-yard dash by Capt. Willie Geny and a long pass from Rand Dixon to Dick Plasman gave Vanderbilt two touchdowns and a 14-to-9 victory over a stubborn Mississippi State eleven on Dudley Field Saturday afternoon. The triumph sent Ray Morrison's boys off to a victorious start in the Southeastern Conference race and marked Major Ralph Sasses machine as a future power in Dixie football. The Maroon team sent shivers down the backs of the estimated 7,000 spectators by their determined bid in the first quarter.

It was in Above are scenes from the Saturday's battle at Denny Field, Tuscaloosa, where the stubborn Howard Bulldogs held the Alabama Crimson Tide to a 7-7 tie. Jimmy Angelich, Alabama halfback, who made the Tide touchdown in an off-tackle smash in the second period, is shown early in the game, plowing over right guard for a three-yard gain. Some idea of the power of the staunch Howard forewall may be gained from this picture, made by a News photographer. This tie marks the first time in the history of the Tide-Bulldog series that a Howard team has approached an tven battle with the Crimsons. The line play of the Bulldogs was a sparkling tribute to Billy Bancroft and Ray Davis, coaches at the Baptist institution.

Ala Howard College threw the first monkey wrench of the football season here Saturday, stunning 4,500 spectators in tying Alabama, 7-7.

The Bulldogs outplayed Alabama throughout most of the game, earning their feat of coming from behind to deadlock the score in the fourth period. Alabama's warm-up game became a boiling cauldron of Howard steaming blocking, tackling and courage to dare to cross the nonchalant Crimsons, who were never able to become excited over their fate. Howard showed the Crimsons just how much spirit they will have to show to keep from becoming a week-end doormat for ambitious teams, desiring the blood of the 1935 Rose Bowl winners. It wasn't that Alabama missed he graduating stars or the great Riley bmith, who sat on the side- line, wringing his hands in pain at the mistakes of his teammates. It must have been a case of the Crimsons believing Howard couldn't keep up its brilliant work of stopping the Tide attempts to run and pass with the ball.

It was a very indifferent Alabama team that allowed Howard to scrap as no How-1 aid team has scrapped to topple Alabama Billy Bancroft's Bulldogs served Warning in the first period of impending grief. It was the Bulldogs who made two first downs, put on the first drive that was stopped at Alabama's six-yard line by Francis' individual play instead of team work. Alabama's puny attack, an attack that couldn't get started for the Howard tackles and ends, registeied two first downs. Offside Costly Paul Bryant cost the Crimsons a touchdown at the beginning of the second period when he was off-side on Riley's pass to Jfmmy Walkei back of the goal lines. The Ctim-sons launched their only sustained drive of the game a few minutes later when they took the ball at Howards 46-vard line and flashed i one stieak of last year's form.

On a double-reverse. Jimmy An-gelich swung across the goaf line Jim Whatley kicked goal and the erowd expected Howard to fall apart. But it was Alabama that fell apart.

And what a fine job the coaches will have picking up the pieces. It's something that cant be done unless the Crimsons learned their lesson of never taking any team for granted. The Crimsons played like they had taken Howard for granted. The third period was a most remarkable period of football Neither learn was able to drive for so much as first down. Howard kept Alabama in her own territory throughout most of the period of hard, rugged football on the part of Alabama.

The Howard Bulldogs never made the mistake of arousing the sleeping giants. Howard Holds Snell fired a 53-yard punt as the third period closed and Joe Riley clashed the ball back to Alabama's 34-yard line. Alabama had to resort to a punt on the third down, and it was a great one that Joe Riley hoisted high and 64 yards down field. The punt would have taken the heart out of a wooden Indian, but not the Bulldogs. Allen punted back 33 yards and still the Crimsons hadn't returned from Cali- forma.

Howard stopped Alabama on its 16-yard line after Yeargan and Cooper had broken through to toss Joe Riley for a five-yard loss. The Baptists finally got a break Alabama was penalized 37 1. yards and it was Howard's ball on Alabamas 37-yard line. Waites and Browne had engineered drives against Alabama, both drives fizzling out Pete Allen had his chance. He sent Harbin through Ihp center for five yards.

Harbin lost a yard on two more plays and it was fourth down. Harbin faded back with all the time in the world, Alabama wasn't rushing passers, and tossed the ball to Snell, who shook a leg loose from a late tackier and stepped across the goal line. It was a 35-yard pass that caught Alabama's secondary defense out for lunch. Penrod Affixes Point Howard lined up for the kick-off. There must have been some good Baptists in the Howard cheering section.

Penrod calmly booted the ball between the uprights and Howard has tied the remnants of the great 1934 Alabama team. Howard came down to make a good showing. All of this was forgotten in a frenzy of last five min-liles of play. Alabama quarterbacks called for passes, but Joe Riley couldn't find any pass receivers and the game ended with Howard thrtttmini dir game. Har bin scared the Alabama supporters out of their wits when he shot a pass to Snell and the ball was at Alabama's 34-yard line.

Snell, Batson and Harrison were having a day together, fact a party of it, in breaking then the Crimson forwards smothered Harbin for a two-yard loss. 1 Undaunted, the plucky halfback faded back as Ihe 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. "Penny" Penrod, a substitute halfback, cool and calm, sighted the cross bars.

Then the ball was passed 1 team and the and he booted a perfect kick from placement to raise Howard lo the heights in football a tie with Alabama. Alabama had scored in the second period, after a brilliant show by Joe Riley had touched off a drive that bogged down as an offside penalty nullified a touchdown. The touchdown that didn't count came early in the second period.
