(Journal Sports Editor) A resourceful Alabama Crimson Tide eleven smarting under a defeat last Saturday at the hands of Mississippi State ruined a perfect day for nearly 20000 homecoming fans

annual battle was resumed in 1928 and one of the worst since 1924 Smashing the line with the power of a locomotive sweeping the ends with the speed of a race horse and taking to the air with as much success as a humming bird the Crimson Tide swept to a pair of touchdowns in the first half and duplicated the-f performance in the second half NO DOUBT OF OUTCOME There was never any doubt of the outcome after the first two periods except among the most optimistic of Tennessee fans Supposedly crippled by injuries Alabama presented a team that rucked from the opening whistle and never gave the

afterward SCORE FOUR TIMES Coach Frank Rose Bowl champions cashed In on four of their six major scoring chances due mainly to a woefully weak Vol defense against passes The Tide mixed a slashing ground attack with their aerial thrust in just the exact mixture to obtain the best results Riley running and passing Charlie passing Rudy Rohr-danz sensational broken field jaunts and Joe slashing slants gave the Crimson Tide an offense diversified enough to beat almost any opponent yesterday i Working together with the ball carriers "was the Alabama line which hurled back every assault at its direction The Alabama forwards dominated line playr although the Tennessee forewall played a much improved game over the North Carolina battle The brightest spot in the Volunteer loss was the outstanding performance turned in by Kid Rose candidate for one of the all-conference end positions The sturdy Rose played one of the best games of his career and sounded a definite warning that he will be in -the thick of the-battle for Southeastern all-star honors SMITH SNEAKS OVER The game was little more than half a 'quarter old before the Red Elephant had dented the goal line with Riley

Joe Riley and Bub ber -Nesbit played the leading roles in this thrust with Boozer skirting the ends Riley passing and Nesbit ramming the line The Tidemen mixed their plays well with a lot of deception DEFENSE STIFFENS After moving to a first down on the Tennessee six-yard line the Vol defense stiffened temporarily and it appeared that a touchdown might be staved off Nesbit picked up two yards but Palmer threw Boozer for a three-yard loss Then Joe Riley one of the Tide heroes ran wide around his own right end behind perfect interference for a touchdown Rudy Rohrdanz another one of the Alabama
