then threw the Alabama section into another thrill by intercepting long forward pass. Alabama worked the ball down and tried another placement kick, but failed.
 With the ball in Penn's possession under the shadow of the goal, the Heismanites tried for gains, and then got first down with a pass. A long forward pass of 30 yards netted Penn a big gain and placed the ball in Alabama territory. It looked scarv here The Quakers had opened up the aerial game. and only a few minutes to play
 Pos Miller got around end for nine yards Alabama rooters held their breath as a forward pass failed. Penn tried series of passes which Ala bama broke up and on the fourth down she was still trying. Baty breaking through with two other buddies and downing the passer for a loss before he could get the ball away.
 With the ball in Alabama's pos- session and only B seconds to go, we knew the Crimson Tide was safe.
 Used Regular Team
 Folks down home shouldn't think that Heisman used any subs to start the game. He started off against Alabama with the same lineup he used last Saturday in vanquishing the Navy, 13 to T.
 In a newspaper interview earlier in the day. he was quoted as saying that he would use the regulars till he made three touchdowns and then send in a flock of subs. Heisman snd all Philadelphia looked on todays game as practice affair. They couldn't see where a team that had been beaten by Tech 33-7. Tech in turn being walloped by the Navy, and the Navy then lowing before Penn. had any possible chance. Against Penn's wonders. Philadelphia also looked on the affair rather as a workout for Penn, and while some 25.000 attended the game. the seating capacity of 52,000 would have been taxed to the utmost had Philadel- phians known the dope was to be spilled. and such sensational foot ball battle waged.
 A Bleak Outlook
 Then, too, the oyerhanging clouds probably kept some of the spectators away. The atmosphere wss so thick that one could have cut it with knife and plastered it on some bread. The sun was not to be seen and a biting breeze bespoke possible snow. Into this bleak enclosure went the Alabama warriors. The grdiron wore coat of tan grass It hasn't rained here in ages and it looked more like sawdust than turf.
 Between halves, the famous Penn band paraded on the field. making quite a pretty spectacle in blue uni forms with red lined capes thrown o1ann1daru Sn tha 1fnin Q show. The 25,000 spectators joined in the singing of America" and then, as the Alabama warriors rested in the dressing rooms, they caught the strains of Dixie" being waited across the field. It was one of the most charitable things Pennsylva- nians could have done. Emmet's masterpiece thrilled them, and sent them into battle the better fighters for having heard 1t.
 Every Crimson Starred
 Picking stars for Alabama is as easy as picking winners in the Ben Hur chariot race. All were stars. Bartlett, at quarter, displayed a great assortment of brain power as well as natural ability. Country Oliver fought his way back Into the hos pital, but his presence on the field seemed to give Alabama just what she needed
 Papa Hubert backed up the line and smeared man after man. and gained much through his powerful bucks. McClintoch, McCartee, Davi- dorf and Whitaker also delivered in a way that was pleasing to the eye.
 And now for that old line. old Tom Newton, Birmingham bred, shone on end like Kohinoor. Jack Hov- ater's brilliant work stood out in way that caused much comment on the side lines. I have already told you what Shorty Propst and old Bull Wesley did. Shorty Cooper's big frame was as immovable as Gibraltar and he got his man when he went after him.
 And there was Compton. 'Who got that guy?" someone would shout.
