Alabama Beaten By The Louisiana learn Poor Punting Cost Team the Birmingham Defeat For Crimson-White In Four Years BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Had there been a man on the Alabama team who could have kicked the ball out of danger when the crimsonwhite goal was threatened, it would not have been necessary for aggregation to have closed its otherwise very successful season with an unnecessary defeat. At It was. however. Alabama's efforts to punt resulted generally in miserable failures. Derrill Partt.

admittedly the greatest punter in the south, stood helpless on the sideline while Alabama life blod ebbed slowly away. And the faculty was avengeu. Louisiana yesterday afternoon, to make a long story snort, defeated Alabama to 6. After the game the crimsonwhite colors trailed in the dust of Birmingham for the first time in four years. It was tlie first defeat sustained in Birmingham by Pollard's aggregation, and the aggregation has been Pollard's for four years.

Louisiana has a great team, a powerful team. Its average weight is Alabama, with Pratt on the side lines, averaged less than 156. But how those little fellows fought! Alabama scored first. With the ball in the possession of Louisiana, a fumble gave It to Baumgartner. The fleet-footed end skirted the Louisiana aggregation and was downed within 15 yards of the goal.

The formation was then employed, and the heavy Louisiana line crumbled. VandegraafT planted the pigskin within three yards of Louisiana's goal, and Austell carried it over. But soon Alabama scored a faux pas. A forward pass into the arms of a man from Batjjn Rouge and he carried it toward Alabama goal for 30 yards. There powerful Seip.

a giant among the Alabama pigmies, took the ball under his arm and ploughing his way through the red crossed the tape. Between the halves the students of the university formed the snake dance and, surrounding the team, gave three cheers for ringing cheers that sounded good. And three ringing cheers that sounded good were sent up for r'apt. Derrill Pratt. in the second half the fight was dogged.

Both aggregations were out for blood. The big fellows from the bayou thundered time and time against the Alabama and time and time again it held firm. And luck broke with the Tigers. There was a of those which floated near the ground. It struck earth and bounded out of the reach of Moody.

Tt passed him and approached the Alabama goal before tt was recovered. Efforts by the Alabamians to gain failed. There followed a punt hi di was short, woefully short. Then Louisiana opened all its brilliant artillery and strength and weight told. was only a matter of time before Seip crossed for the second time the goal in the defense of which red line" will go down Into history renowned for its pluck and never-fugging courage.

The game was a good one. From a spectacular point of view it was fine. It was hard founght by two plucky, welltrained teams. Seip was Louisian's star. splendid defensive work will probably give him claims to the laurels from an Alabama standpoint.

Baumgartner did excellent work for Alabama, But had Pratt done the punting for Alabama yesterday Louisiana would never, in the opinion of the writer, have overcome that 6-point lead which team piled up within the first few minutes of play. The Line-Up. Louisiana. Position. Alabama.

The touchdown made by the Georgians was on a fluke, resulting from a blocked kick, hence the points accumulated by the visitors do not tend to assuage the overwhelming defeat administered by the Autumn, though a magnificent brace of the Georgians in the second half, coupled with a corresponding Inactlveity in the camp of the Alabamians, closed that semester without a score. Touchdowns of botli elevens were made in first 25 minutes of play.

Sew; clearly outplayed Vanderbilt during first half of The game in every department. Moise. for played the game of his life and his teammates backed him up in splendid style.

On the defensive Sewanee was at her best. At rushing the line Vanderbilt was not successful, while Sewanee more frequently made her distance. The first half was almost throughout a kicking flunel. with Vanderbilt frequently fumbling the ball.

Both teams adhered to straight football. Vanderbilt tried the forward pass twice, failing to complete It each time. Sewanee tried It twice, gaining each time, the first one paving the way for a touchdown. At the end of the half the Sewanee rooters formed in line and circled the field, headed by a brass band.

The score was 11 to 0.

The tight was a good one. The Howard aggregation had decidedly the advantage, not only because of the result, but because of its superior playing Coach Bongewll's process of development reached its climax yesterday, and he deserves much credit for his accomplishment. The finest work of the Howard team was defensive work. Three times the Georgetown aggregation thundered at the Howard goal from the ten-yard line, but on each occasion the gallant Baptists rushed to the charge with fearless heart, end each time the cheers of the nearvictors were drowned in the exultant cries of those who conquered. Williams and Wyckham, worthy to perform on anv team below the line of Mason and Dixon, starred unmistakably.

They won the game for Howard though this must not be taken to mean that others did not aid. But without them it is doubtful if Howard could have won. w. Burns, too, played splendidly. The little fellow is a little whirlwind, indeed, and ho.
