the University i of Alabama band Even the local musicians are great big guys and probably would whip our lads And what got to have Big guys The band gave 'the fans here quite a treat between halves coming out on the field and spelling out before the Alabama stands From that formation the group went into the word and the house down as they say around the theater with "Dixie" Incidentally the two bands spent the morning parading up and down business section which is something else this column has often suggested ought to be done in Lexington to promote interest among any visitors who might be in town and not know about a game going on Another Lex-ingtonian down for melee commented on the fact that those two bands parading up and down Brownie Leaea Irish Pull Sensational Rally Winning 18-13

Snatches Big Lead Early But Passes Prove Fatal the streets probably would draw a good many more people than would have thought about going to the game For a while it seemed as if very few people had thought of going to the game The stadium was unusually slow in filling which means nothing more than that the want undefeated teams Before the game got under way however the stadium which seats 23000 was two-thirds filled with more than 14000 spectators Those Missisisppi State boys of Major Ralph Sasse who beat the Alabama team three weeks ago got a big hand when it was announced they had beaten the Army Boy that club certainly came into the spotlight in a hurry And the fans at game also had a big hand for the announcement that Auburn and were playing a scorless ball game right up to the last 1 Of all the football games missed in my lifetime and would like to have seen was that Notre Dame-Ohio State battle at Columbus Thirteen points in the first quarter and 18 in the last It hearkens back to that 1924 Alabama-Kentucky game at Montgomery which tbe Tide won 23 to 13 And speaking of that game reminds me that Tony Holm its star is the at Forest Park Club here But that gam in Columbus today As readers of this column know I never thought those Ramblers had what it required to beat the Buckeyes They not only have what it takes but apparently plenty of it And will the Columbus fans be on Francis Schmidt An Ohio State coach who loses a fthnii game leads a tough life Not to mention what the fans thought they had this year remarkable how fast the fans gather on a football game day often wonder where all the home folk spring up from Kentuckians really poured into Birmingham this morning And greeting practicaly all of them was the "Home Town Boy who made good in the city" Milton Butsch formerly of Winchester He really made the Kentuckians feel at home and kept the whole group at least all those within in an uproar By BROWNIE LEACH Leader Sports Editor LEGION FIELD BIRMINGHAM Ala Nov The University of Kentucky not only fumbled away whatever chance they might have had to win but batted a 1 3-to-0 victory into the hands of a better Alabama Crimson Tide here this afternoon Today's

long pais from Bill Shakopc (Paga 1L Column Pleaat) Kentucky's defeat wan no surprise since Alabama's team although beaten and tied this season still rates as one of the best if not the best However the way in which the Alabama team gained its 13th straight triumph over the Wildcats was somewhat surprising The Crimnons scored in the first quarter of each half with aerial thrusts playing a big part in each touchdown and 3 forward toss actually bringing the second defensive men were in the laps of the Alabama receivers on each occasion but both times the efforts to knock the passes down batted the ball into the waiting arms of the Tide players In their own efforts to employ an aerial game the Wildcats were even worse On several occasions the passer dropped a beautiful toss into the arms of the receiver who either dropped the ball or lost it to an Alabama player who would step up and lift it out of his hands More than once these Kentucky receivers were in the open and a little glue on their fingers would have made Kentucky a much more serious threat As it was the Wildcats advanced the ball beyond midfield on only one occasion and that on one of those forward passes which an Alabama player merely lifted from under the arm Apparently it made no difference who was doing the throwing or receiving for the results seemed to be the same all afternoon Maybe that was the weather for certainly it was not football weather this afternoon and the biggest part of the men fans in the huge stadium sat in their shirt sleeves Alabama scored first midway in the opening period after several exchanges of punts and few offensive manuevers on the part of either team The drive for the first touchdown was started on Alabama's own 33-yard line after Simpson had punted out of bounds at that point Kilgrow and Nisbet got the drive under way by giving the Tide a first Vandy Whips Georgia Tech Special to The Leader DANVILLE Ky Noy "Centre the the latest mascot of the Centre College

last 15 starts Thurman scored two of the winner's touchdowns the first on a 20-yarcb dash after receiving a pass and the second on a 40-yard sprint with a pass Shumaker and Siphers accounted for the other two touchdowns and Hughes Benham end added two points by placements Le-quire scored only marker in the third quarter Geny And Throgmorton Play Star Boles As 14-13 Win Recorded DURHAM Nov 2 Duke's Blue Devils paced by the speed bursts of Elmore Hackney marched back into the victory column in convincing manner here today by decisively outplaying the Tennessee Volunteers to win 19 to 6 before a Homecoming Day crowd of 16000 Tennessee after playing Wallace Wade's Southern Conference eleven on even terms in a nip-and-tuck first half never was in the same the last two periods Duke recovered a fumble on the third period kickoff deep in Vol territory and kept the visitors backed to the wall until almost the last play of the battle The battle was hardly two minutes old when Phil Dickens fumbled on the Volunteer 10 and Jule Ward covered the pigskin like a hawk for Duke Clarence (Ace) Parker picked up seven yards at end and Ward missed a touchdown by inches Jack (Scooter) Alexander drove it over on a spin play to put the Wademen in the van Parker got the Wademen away on a touchdown tour by zigzagging back with Palmer's punt early in the third 19 yards to midfield Alexander handed the ball to West on an end-around and West flipped it laterally to Hackney sub for Parker who sped to the Vol 36 Two line plays got seven and set the stage for Hackney who thrilled his homefolk by circling right end cutting buck sharply and skidding across the Vol goal on his chest as Moses hung on like a leach Gardner placekicked the point and it was Duke 13 Tennessee 7 Hackney

fans Trailing 13 to 7 at the half as a surprisingly strong band of Tech gridders fought Vanderbilt with its own weapons forward passes the Commodores were forced to gamble vfith everything Georgia Tech protected Jts lead through the third period but fell as Geny leaped up and snagged the pass that produced the tieing touchdown Rannle Throgmorton hooted the extra point squarely between the posts Aside from the gruelling struggle and the wide-open battle for victory the feature was the performance of Throgmorton hefty Vanderbilt tackle Throgmorton kicked a perfect placement after first touchdown blocked try for the point-after in the second period and calmly made the extra point for the Commodore victory after Geny's spectacular dash Kilgrow faded back and sent a long pass down to Capt Jimmy Walker Alabama end who took the ball on 35 and was brought down on the 32 Johnson it seemed was all over tl)e top of Walker as the latter made for the pass The Kentucky back however was unable to get the ball on the ground and after it had been batted around as if they were playing volley ball Walker finally took possession From then on until Nisbet drove over for the score Alabama'n
