The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-26

odNdCHly WttAOuL tn6 Sldnl tackle whirled and threw the oval spin ming down the field for 40 yards square ly into outstretched arms of Right End Lovick Stevenson, who crossed the goal line unhindered Stevenson never halted his pace and the throw appeared as though it was especially timed It was the same play with which Alabama scored on Georgia Tech several weeks ago. It showed wonderful training and it brought the opposing players and spectators to their feet
 The remainder of Alabamas touch downs were scored on end runs and line plunges excepting when Dink Hagan repeated Captain Harsh's run and scored a counter. The run was for 70 yards and the quarterback did some clever lodging to escape the pursuing tackles, whom he soon out sprinted.
 Besides scoring by the touchdown route, Alabama scored by two other ways. The wind seriously handicapped Bully's efforts at placement kicks and the giant tackle tried only three, one of which was successful Alabama also scored by another method, for the first time this season in Birmingham. Missis- sippi had the ball on her five-yard line and Dear stepped back to punt, standing five yards behind his own goal line, The pass from the center was a poor one diio DtloIS ic COulu recover the Dall and Rick 1t, four Alabama men bounced on him. The safety gave the Crimson two points.
 Bully VandeGraaff gained more ground both on line plunges and wide end runs than any other man on the Crimson team. The tackles longest run of the day was 75 yards around left end. He was downed on Mississippis five-yard line.
 Alabama showed remarkable supremacy in field generals When Griff Harsh stepped out to the battle, Dink Hagan proved to be equally as good and espe- cially so on the offensive. Both ran the team well and the remarkable success. or the Crimson eleven must fall to their credit.
 The Mississippi lads fought bravely and never gave up. Pete Dear, the speedy back, was the star of the game from the Mississippi standpoint The back made 55-yard run and was not stopped until he had reached Alabama's S 3O-yard line, the nearest that the Mississippi eleven penetrated during the lengthy en- counter However, his teammates lacked the abilit1 to follow up his at tack and the Mississippis hopes of score vanished. Captain Harris played the best game on the line for the visitors, but he, too, was alone when it came to receiving help. Mississippi was badly in need of punter and for this reason alone lies the fact that Alabama had such great success.
 The game was attended by A large crowd, but the lack of enthusiasm was due to the fact that the afternoon was not a football day The weather was slightly too warm for the players. but ideal for the spectators. The sun was hot and the heat greatly reduced the eiiectlveness of the individual players. The game completed a great season for Alabama. In fact the greatests in a number of years. The passing of Bully VandeGraaff and Bill Harsh made sad occasion for Alabama, but returning to the success of the team for the past season it is considered wonderful that the Crimson was represented by such a powerful eleven playing under the con ditions that it did.
