Held to a one touchdown margin in the first half, Wallace Wade's men romped roughshod over the Cadets. Then, after running the V. M.

eleven off its feet, the Devils brought out little Arlington Kelly, a 125 pounder, to unleash a fourth period passing attack that was good for a final touchdown. Three times he dropped back to hurl with uncanny accuracy tosses which dropped into the hands of Frank Liana, an end, and Halfback John Johnson, for gains of 22. 16 and 30 yards. After Duke's shock troops had softened up the opposition in a scoreless first period, Wade trotted in his first stringers with devastating effect to the Cadet hopes. The Devils were limited to one touchdown in the second period a 13-yard smash off right guard by Alexander but then came the deluge.

24-0. Howard furnished Alabama a real test, showing the S. E. C. cham- pions to be weak in running interference, blocking and hard charging.

Coach Shorty Propst had the men to substitute freely along with Coach frank Thomas and it was not a case of Alabama being able to hammer the fighting Bulldogs into submission and then run wild. The afternoon was sultry and BY CHARLEY BROWN DENNY FIELD The score between Alabama and Howard shows the difference between the two teams as a whole, but it does not show the fight put up by the Howard boys. A 24-point difference does not near tell the story of the work Alabama had to put out to make them. Howard's poor to bad punting kept them in the hole all during the first half and allowed Alabama to keep hammering away at them in the Howard territory until they were able to get margin enough to make them comfortable for the afternoon. Had the losers been able to punt the ball out of danger it mitfht have put a different color on the final outcome.

When it came to line play, there was very little to choose between the two. Howard's forward wall plaved showers before the game left the field a steaming mat. Clean play enabled both Alabama and Howard to escape without any serious in the line. Ben Baswell was getting around fast and appears to be coming into his own. Danelutti looked good at a guard position.

There will be plenty of hard work for the Crimsons. They might have had plenty, but they will see twice It was in line play where trie cus tomers got their money's worth, with as much.

I started to ay their heavier opponents, but am afraid that that might be putting it a little too strong, as there does not appear to be much difference between the sizes of the two lines. To say the least, Alabama had a good test from the standpoint of line play, which is a good thing for future development. These runaway games early in the season are of very little benefit except to give the whole squad a chance to show the coaches what each man has. Opposition of merit is to be desired, although it may cause spectators quite a bit of worry. While Howard's puting was of the spotty variety, Alabama's was up to mid-season standard, and the few times they had to kick they got the Alabama got away to a fast start.

Rudy Gartside, Southwestern much of this going on. for the ends seemed to be able to cover the kicks pretty well for both sides. Once or twice a good return was made, but on the whole the return was held fairly low. Passes Play Part For an early game, the passing showed up extra well.

Both sides were taking chances on this play and the most consistent gains of the afternoon were made as a result of passes. Howard was taking desperate chances late in the game, trying for a score, while Alabama's tosses were of the more consistent type. A little better defense on the part of Howard for this type of play must be developed before they can expect to reach top form as a defensive team. Alabama did not score directly by way of a pass, but they put it in scoring position. Howard threw several scares into the Alabama boys but they were never able to put the finishing touch to their play.

It may have been Alabama's defensive ability, but it looked rather like the lack of a scoring play in the crucial position. Here is where Alabama indicated to eight-yard line.

In the final minutes of the game the Wildcats tried an open game but without success and as the game ended Jones of W. and L. intercepted a pass by Ayers, a substitute back, and ran to Kentucky's 15-yard line before he was stopped. The Wildcats, aided by their opponents' fumbles, made their only scoring threat in the first period but each time Ellis booted the Generals out of danger with his long high spirals.

Right here it might be well to remark that one of the unusual plays put on by Alabama was an end run by the fullback.

They made good on it too, for the full made a number of long gains by this play and one touchdown. Both sides should be satisfied with the fame, for both showed that they had plenty of power and for the first game of the season, plenty of speel and deception. The most satisfying thing to Howard should be the stalwart work of the line and as soon as they develop a little more deception in the backfield and work out a solution of their punting difficulties, they should be a team to be feared by all their opponents. From Alabama's side, the most gratifying thing is that they have more than one super pass threat. A little more cohesion and team work will make them what the scribes have predicted for them.
