--A new type of Alabama football team will invade Rose Bowl at Pasadena on New Year's clay--an eleven that relies on speed and deception, instead of power as did its three predecessors. The line is just as hefty as those other forward walls, using its power to smother the attack, and to give the fast breaking backs a better chance to form interference and get underway. In every maneuver there is coordination, and the squad as a whole is one of the most willing to aid a teammate, even though it means headlines for "the other fellow." End runs, reverses, fake reverses, triple passes, an end around end, long and fhort passes and just straight football go into its repertoire of plays. Tho spearhead nt the attack is i lard i Dixie) Howcll, speedy and elusive triple threat, halfback. He is the marked man in every game, a large part of the deception that gives Jimmy Angelish, his halfback teammate; Joe Derjyanovich, fullback, and Riley Smith, a a a chance to get underway.

BIG GAMES FOR LEADING TEAMS Most Interesting Scraps of Football Are Yet to Be Played BOWL BATTLES SET Tulane and Pitt' Expected to Clash in Contest at New Orleans NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (UP) football season is dying but not without a final struggle with some of the most interesting games yet to come. Stanford, coast leader, meets Alabama, co-champion of the southeastern conference with Tulane, in the annual Rose bowl contest. Tulane is certain to represent Dixie in the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans, and Pitt, recognized as the eastern leader, is in line to furnish the opposition. Down at Miami, the Orange Bowl battle probably will bring together other sectional leaders, or teams near the top.

While the post-season struggles will clarify the situation for some, other sectors will remain status quo. Washington and Lee has the Southern conference title; Minnesota long since has clinched the Big Ten; Kan- Fas State -is on top in the Big Six; Colorado nncl Colorado Teachers share the title in the Rocky mountain sector, find Rice is on top in the Southwest.

Usually a contender for the top honor during his career with the New York Yankees, Gehrig reached it last season with an average of .363. There was no doubt of it at the end of the season and the official averages, just released, merely made his title official. In addition to the batting title, Gehrig improved his major league record for playing in consecutive games to 1,504. His batting achievement included the home run leadership at 49 circuit blows, the total bases leadership at 409, second place in hits and third position in scoring.
