BY BOB PHILLIPS UNIVERSITY, Sept. 26 The University of Alabama broke into the ranks of Notre Dame disciples in very acceptable style here Satnr day afternoon, winning the seasons opening game from Howard College by the quite comfortable score of 42 to 6.

Playing their first game under Frank Thomas, successor to Wallace Wade, the Crimson Tidemen fathered momentum as the minutes rolled by after an erratic start and inished the 60 minutes of skirmishing with the lads from Birmingham in a manner that should have pleased not only Thomas and his adherents but also any ones inclined to look with suspicion on the change in tactics at the Capstone. NEW TORE, Sept. 26 The Tankeea climaxed their spectacular drive of the closing weeks by defeating Washington in both ends of a doubleheader Saturday, 7 to 2 and 8 to and thereby clinched second place in tha American League. With several hundred dollars of world series money at stake for eeh player, the two clubs battled all ernoon In weather more suitable for football.

They are assured second place, no matter how the two clubs com out in closing contests Sunday. In making their successful drive for second, the Yanks won 13 of their last 16 games, their starting pitcher going the routs in all except one tilt, Vernon Gomez achieved his twenty-first victory in Saturdays first game, in which he allowed only four hit and no runs the last six innings. Charlie Ruffing won his sixteenth in the nightcap, the Senators getting only five hits off his delivery.

Both Bump Hadley and Lloyd Brown, Washington's starting hurlers, were driven from the box in the early innings. FIRST SAME West Virginia Wesleyan 0, Washington and Jefferson 14. Lebanon Valley 0. Georgetown 25. Shenandoah 0, George Washing, ton 63.

Only in one inning were the Tigers able to gath er more than a single hit. The Indians staked Ferrell to a five-run lead in the first Inning.

Ferrell slammed out a home run In the fourth. Doljack got a homer in the second. The defeat cost Detroit any hope it may have had to finish the season in fifth Dlace. CHARLESTON. S.

Sept. 26 (UP) A hard playing Mercer eleven scored a decisive 26 to 0 victory over the Citadel here Saturday in a game featured by the brilliant open field running of Pinky" Walden, backfield star of the Georgia UAm. B. Smith intercepted a Citadel pass and carried it 45 yards to share glory with Walden. An injured ankle forced him from the game in the final quarter, however.

Mercer demonstrated the offensive punch that has caused experts to rate the team a leading contender for the Dixie Conference title this Fail in scoring in each of the first three periods, counting two touchdowns in the third quarter. Camp and Cineman, of Mercer, contributed to their teams victory with consistently good tackling and blocking. Willard, end, and Metz, fullback, were outstanding players for Citadel.

CLEVELAND b. h. o. a. Pave for one lapee In forward pass defense, the Tide was foolproof against Howard's offensive labors.

This one lapse, however, cost the Alsbamlans a clean state defensively, for It netted a touchdown, with beautifully executed aerial sally by Eddie Sweeney and Ray Parks covering the 67 yards between the line of scrimmage and the goal in one swell swoop. Alabama's backfield was none too smooth, but a lack of precision, particularly in blocking that was noticeable in the first half, gradually disappeared and the boys were hitting it off gracefully enough for a first time under fire at the end. Slowness In putting the ball into play, evidently because of failure in the backfield to comprehend the signals, cost the Thomas team several yards in penalties, with many more assessments piling up because of off aides. Bob Clark Fumbles Bob Clark, Howard fullback, fumbled with Pal Cochrane, quarterback, recovering for Alabama on Howard's 13 and paved the way for Alabama's first touchdown after the Crimson Tide had made no headway worth mentioning In the first 10 minutes of the game. A five-yard penalty against Howard and bucks by Cain and Long, the former taking the ball nine yards for the biggest single gain, placed the oval on Howards two-foot line with first down.

Long failed on a first buck but broke across on the next. Whitworths placement kick added extra point. Howard stopped a second Alabama march on the seven-yard line shortly after second quarter began and a beautiful 60-yard punt by Sweeney gave the ball to Alabama on Its own 45. The Crimsons began to block properly and, on the second play, Holley streaked around his own right flank for 28 yards, Captain Clark and O'Dell Sclfres of the Bulldogs pulling him down. Holley presently trucked the oval 10 yards for first down on the Howard three stripe and it was simple enough for Long to plunge on the first play.

Whitworth's second placement ran the count to 14. Holley Runs 38 Yards Holley raced 38 yards to Howards t7-yard line Just before the half closed, only one more play being run clt. Alabamas third score was manu factured quickly in the third period. The Crimson gained the ball on its 41-yard mark after a Howard punt and Cain cut loose with a long, floating toss that Holley took in full stride. The pass traveled 34 yards and Holley carried it 25 more for a total distance of 59 yards.

Ben Smith, husky end, was a big help to Holley in that he blocked out two men that were In Holleys path after the catch. Whitworths third placement made it Alabama 21, Howard 0. An exchange of punts worked out advantageously for Alabama and set the stage for six more points right on the heels of this third touchdown. Holley had runs of 15 and 8 yards and Cain one of 7, with Long adding brief yardage on line bucks, as the Bulldogs were driven up against their goal, and Long hauled it home from the two-yard spot for the marker with Whitworths placement accounting for the twenty-eighth point. It was at this Juncture that Howard marched Just about the whole length of the field at Alabamas expense.

Aubrey Gresham received the kickoff and scampered 28 yards with it, a tine return indeed. Then the passing game was invoked, Sweeney pegging one to Pete Estes yards and a first down on ard's 43. Sweeney Passes One Two plays later, Sweeney drifted back and slung the pigskin far down the field to Parks, who raced out uncovered to within 25 yards of the goal and took the catch, sprinting on across with two or three Tide men in hot pursuit but virtually with no chance of bringing him down. This pass caught the Alabama right halfback and quarterback. Walker and Cochrane, badly out of position, both of them having headed to the left.

Bondurants placement for extra point was wide and the Howard total had reached Its top. An Alabama march early In the fourth quarter apparently was nullified by a 15-yard holding penalty after the ball had been carried across, but the Tide came back strong for the real article. Walker's interception of Sweeneys pass gave the Crimsons the ball on Howard's 36. Walker hoofed it 12 yards at left end on the next play and an 18-yard gain by Holley eventually placed It on Howards six. Hughes plunged through on the first play, but the holding penalty spoiled it.

And an off-side penalty also hurt. But, with first down and 20 to go, Hughes made four and Holley 18 for a first down on the five-yard mark. Holley slipped through right tackle for the touchdown, with Laslle Flace-kicking the point. Alabama Continues With a margin of 35 to Alabama refused to let up and when Hughes Intercepted Ewings pass and hotfooted it for 22 yards to Howard's 20. a sixth scoring Journey was under way.

Walker got six yards In two plays and Moseley got three. Hughes made It a first down on the six and Moseley got four of this, then Hughes went home from the two-yard stripe. Moseley added the point by placement to make It the final count of 42 to 6. While Thomas used substitutes freely, he did not send In relief troops in wholesale fashion. Nor did he employ shock troops at the start as Is the Notre Dame custom.

It is likely that the new Alabama mentor desired to look over his best two dosen or so men as closely as possible with a view to drawing an accurate tins on their possibilities. Coach McLane, of Howard, sub Ctltuted somewhat less freely than did Thoms. Neither man had oooa-slon to substitute more than three four times until late In the game. A cooling breeze that developed Friday night made the going far less difficult for the players than had been expected because of the terrific heat of the last few days.

COLUMBIA, S. Sept. 26 (INS) Wallace Wades Duke University eleven was the victim of an upset in their first game of the season here Saturday when South Carolina defeated the Blue Devils.

7 to 0. Carolinas stubborn defense drew the sting from Duke attack In the first quarter when the Devils twice drove down to the Gamecocks one-yard line. The Wade proteges revealed a strong passing offensive. Mason to Brewer. In the second quarter, South Carolina was on the defensive almost constantly and the ball, on Duke's 16-yard line at the end of the first quarter, was shoved over to a touchdown after Clary made a 18 -yard dash around right end.

Clary carried it over from the one-yard line after two line bucks. Frequent penalties marred the game. Abbott and Brewer were the mainsprings of Coach Wade's attack, while Clary carried the weight of the Carolina attack. Abbott made the longest run of the game when he clipped off 33 yards in the third quarter.

1:18. KNOXVILLE, Sept. 26 (IP) Led by Shack Allen, smashing halfback who reeled off 53 and 23 yards runs for touchdowns, the University of Tennessee defeated Maryville College 33 to 0 Saturday in its first football game of the season. Gene Wild Bull McEver, sensational back of 1928 and 1929, returned to the Tennessee lineup after a season off with an Injured knee, weaved his way through the opposing team for several good gains, and scored the first touchdown. Harvey Robinson, slender halfback, bucked through Maryvilles lino for the fourth touchdown.

The fifth was made late In the game when Robinson shot a 12-yard pass to Van Rayburn, end, who raced 21 yards to the goal line. Tennessee scored a safety when Derryberry, end, nailed Calloway, Maryville back, behind his goal line. Deke Brackett, Tennessee quarter, smashed his way through the Maryville team for several long gains. The Vols fumbled six times and made a poor showing in blocking and interference. Calloway led the Maryville team in ground gaining.

Maryville at no time threatened to score.

Coach Earl McFadden's Auburn Plebes opened their season here on Drakefield Saturday afternoon with a 2 to 7 victory over the Birmingham-Southern Baby Panthers. Both coaches had to use numerous substitutes on account of the extremely hot weather that sapped the strength out of the players After several exchanges of punt In the middle of the second quarter, the Baby Panthers started a drive that terminated when Ike Young threw a pass to Joe Weatherly tha; was good for 10 yards and the first touchdown of the game. Poor tackling by two Auburn backs enabled the fleetfooted Weatherly to cross the final white stripe.

Davis drop-backed from right end to place -kick for the extra point. Angered by the initial score, the Tiger Cubs received the kickoff on their 20-yard line and, on straight line bucks, advanced the tall to mid-field from where Breezy Wynne threw a pass to Ward Wright for 50 yards and six points. It was a perfectly executed aerial hoave. Moore made the extra point on a plunge over center. Auburn had a slight edge In the third period but failed to score, counting again at the start of the fourth quarter when Harry Whitten hit left tackle for six inches and a touchdown.

The final quarter began with Auburn in oosseesion of the ball on the Baby Panthers one-yard line. Haygood Patterson, who played a nice game at left tackle, had ills place-kick for the extrn point blocked by three Gold and Black players. The passing combination of Wynne to Wright was again called upon for service In the last quarter and responded with another beautiful pass, good for 30 yards and the final touchdown. Moors again hacked over center for the extra tally. Lex Fullbrlghts machine looked good in the opening half but was outplayed after intermission.

Weatherly's long distance punting and the line play of Davis, Jackson and Duncan kept the Hilltop team in the running in the second half. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26 (JP) Tulane found a stiff football opponent in the University of Mississippi here Saturday and was lucky to hang up a score of 31 to 0, before a rain frightened crowd of around 12,000. The old Miss squad gave a great exhibition of defensive football but lacked offensive power and reserve strength. In the first half, the Mls-sissippians fought a good fight and held Tulane scoreless In the second quarter.

But in the last half they played ragged football filled with fumbles and bungles. Tulane took the Jump at the starters whistle and it appeared as if they would ride easily through the game. Don Zimmermans, Tulane's powerful halfbaojc, with the aid of Glover, pounded the line with an end run mixed in to Mississippi's five yard line where he was stopped. Felts, hard charging fullback, made two dives, but missed a touchdown by six inches and the ball went over on downs. A poor Mississippi kick gave the ball again to Zimmerman and he and Glover repeated their performance until they brought it to the one-foot line and Felts dived through for the first touchdown.

The second quarter brought out clever football and each team took to the air. Burnett, Mississippi's fast halfback, was away for a clear field until Glover nailed him with a hard tackle. Neither side was able to score. The turning point of the game was reached in the third quarter when Burke, Mississippi substitute quarterback, caught Tulanes kick on the two-yard line and raced through the entire Tulane team for 98 yards and the goal line But the referee called him back and put the ball in play on Tulane's 45 yard line where he ruled the runner had gone out of bounds. Coach Protests Coach Ed Walker kicked vigorously, but the ruling stood.

This play apparently took the starch out of Ole Miss, but they held Tulane until Lemon threw a pass to De Coligny on the five-yard line and Glover broke through right tackle for a second touchdown. Zimmerman kicked goal. In the first minute of the fourth quarter, Zimmerman threw a 25-yard pass to Dalrymple for a touchdown, and Ole Miss folded up. Then Felts went over the goal line, but the play was called back for offsides. But soon after, Hodglns dived over for the fourth touchdown and In the last minute of play as the spectators was leaving the stands, the fleet Hodglns got loose in midfield and raced for another and final touchdown.

In the last quarter the officials were unable to agree on the rule against Cunningham, of Tulane, clipping a Mississippi player, and Coach Walker ran out on the field three times to twice protest. Finally the ball was placed in play at the point where the offense was committed and Ole Miss was given the balL Ramsay Tech Wins Over West End in Good Contest, 20-0 Carmichael and Kincaid, guards; Bondurant, center; Gresham, quar-back; Sweeney and H.

Cains Knee Okeh John Cains recently operated upon left knee stood up well under the fire, although early In the game he was dealt a hard lick on it by the defense and momentarily appeared badly hurt.

But he got up and stuck it out without further trouble, an indication that the knee isnt likely to bother him later on. Substitute backs employed by Alabama looked plenty good with Hughes, Walker and Moseley coming in equally for any praise to be poured out. All three showed they were able exponents of the game in any department. Chappell, Campbell and Sewell and one or two other promising newcomers were not called on because of various hurts. The best offensive work of the starting quartet was centered around Holley carrying the ball with Cain, Cochrane and Long mowing down the enemy tacklers with a strong protecting screen.

If the fleet and elusive Holley can stand up under a bruising defense, he Is going to race past many white stripes this Fall behind the blocking backs. Holley Gains 204 Yards Holley was the star ground gainer, doing 204 yards in 21 plays for an average of five yards a shot. This is exclusive of the long gain on the touchdown pass and of punt returns. The other yardage was well divided with Cain and Long running next at about 30 yards each. Walker made 18, Hughes 16 and Moseley eight.

Sweeney was by far Howards finest football player offensively, with his passingid end sweeps giv ing Alabama most of its trouble. His punting was superb, averaging 45 yards for nine kicks. Cain's kicking was below par, although two kicks across the goal line from close in cost him 20 yards each time. He made but 27 average in five trials. However Smith, Hughes and Moseley uncorked one kick each of more than 40 yards to run the average up to 33 for eight attempts.

Alabama tried four passes, com pleting but one. It was the 69-yard touchdown pass. Howard completed out of 10 for 70 yards gain. The Bulldogs completed another for about 10 yards, but a penalty called it back.
