ALABAMA SCRUBS
WIN GOOD BATTLE
FROM MAROONS
'Bama Reserves Have No
Trouble in Winning Pre-.
linn to Big Game

Tuscaloosa, November 23.-(Spe-
downed the Mississippi A. 6 M. re-
serves on Denny field this afternoon
by the score of 2S to 6. The Maroon
scrubs outweighed the Crimsons, but
after the first quarter they could
not make any Roadway against the
Alabama line, nor could they check
the rush of the fast Crimson backs.
The first quarter was the hardest
fought, and the Missssippians seemed
to have the advantage. After about
five minutes of play Suddeth received
punt on his own 25-yard line and
returned five yards. The Maroons
made first down and then Parker got
loose for a 16yard run around left
end. Three plays later a pass from
Young to Parker Melted 80 yards, and
on the next play Young shot around
right end for 20 yards and a touch
down. Mississippi failed to kick goal.
Crimxons Score
In the first minute of the second
quarter the Crimsons recovered a
tumble on their 40-yard line and the
backfield opened up on terrific at
tack straight through the line and
drove the Maroons down to their two
yard line, but could not go over.
However, when Mississippi punted 20
yards out of bounds the Crimsons
rushed the ball back to the one-yard
line and Bentley bucked it over. HUI
bert kicked goal and the half ended
with the score: Mississippi g. Ala
bama 7.
The next touchdown came in the
beginning of the third frame and
was chiefly the results of two spec
tacular passes from Davidorff to
Gazzola, one for rs yards and the
other for 80. On the latter, Gazzola
completely foiled the Maroons, slip
ping around the whole squad and
catching the ball almost on the goal
line and then stepping across 1t. In
the last quarter Lewis flew around
right end and made beautiful 40
yard run for a touchdown. A few
minutes later Propst intercepted a
pass on Mississippps 36-yard line and
returned it IL yards. By line drives
the ball was carried to the 10-yard
line and Jones caught pass behind
the goal line for the last touchdown.
Kirby Stars
Lelias Kirby starred for the Grim
sons throughout the game. He was
called on repeatedly and seldom failed
to rip off a good piece of territory.
Davidorff and Bentley also played
great games. Gazzola did fine work
at end and completed several of the
beautiful passes executed by the
Crimsons. Propst at center and HUI
bert at tackle played fine games.
Hubert followed up every goal by
limelight for the Maroons In the
kicking q, counter.
Suddeth and Young were in the
backfield, and Parker's work at right
end was spectacular.
