 Everybody is happy. The slogan ], "On with the prance, let joy be unre- fined" was in force from the time the referees whistle ended Saturdays
 9-7 victory until the heroes of the hour erawled upon the train in the l West Philadelphia station last night. l Having smashed Pennsylvania, the l victorious Alabamians continued the 1 onslaught against the Hotel NOT | mandies furniture and fixtures.

 | While I would seek to take none l of the glory or laurel away from
 Shorty Propst and "Bull' Wesley. | the two lads who put over Alabama's | quo or scores luc III Sl pS 1 picking up tumble and dashing
 over the goal line, and the latter by
 kicking a field goal for three points, i still I feel that in the mad dark scramble to get the high lights cf | the terrific battle to the typery, l 1 did not lay enough stress on the part 1 the sterling "Stumpy" Bartlett played
 in the struggle. If one makes D | calm, cool analysis of Saturdays l thriller, one must admit that Brother Bartlett was the outstanding in- l dividual star among a flock of out standing luminaries. It was the gen. eral step and strategy of Bartlett | that made a victory possible. It was | hls rangy punts perfectly timed and 1 ideally placed, that kept the oval
 away from the danger zone when Penn threatened. It was his great
 run that carried the ball down the l field to a point where the Tide could l put over q touchdown. 1t was Bart i lett who threw the passes. Conse- 1 quently, che must admit that the scintillating "Stumpy" deserves a
 whole house full of laurels. In only
 one instance did "Stumpys' general 1 ship waver, and that was in the lat- 1 ter part of the game when the score 1 was 7-3 in Penn's favor. It looked 1 like he would try field goal at
 first but he switched to a fake kick l formation.
 Considered Field Goal
 After the game was over I learned | that the Alabamians really seriously
 considered making a try for field goal while down near the shadow of the Penn posts. This, indeed, | would have been strategic error, | for, granting that Bull Wesley had been able to send the ball true, IL
 would have given the Tide only three l points, and the score would have
 been 76 in Penn's favor.
 A conference on the field dispelled l any thoughts of this. however, and | the fake kick formation was used | Also since the smoke of battle has
 cleared away 1t has been learned that l Tom Newton and Jack Hevater Of the line were the boys who sifted l through and threw Hamer for a loss 1 on the last down when Penn was | threatening with her forward pass
 stuff down near the goal posts. Tom l and Jack were on the bewildered
 Hamer like ton of brick before he knew what was happening. They l tore viciously into him before he 1 could get the ball away.
 | Shorty's HeadwOrk
 1 Penn used poor generalship on this 1 play. Alabama had 'em 9-7 and they were easily in kicking distance. Had they been successful in booting the | ball between the uprights they could 1 have won. l0-9. On the threatened pass, which Newton and Hcvater
 smeared so nicely, it might be men toned that 1t would never have l gained anything for Penn anyway,
 for the illustrious Shorty Propst had | the man who was to receive the ball
 covered, and would surely have in tercepted it. Shorty is a bearcat at doping plays in this respect. He has
 the keen instinct and intuition of am
 outfielder. He knows what play is coming off and shorty explainsA this by stating that he keeps his Ayes glued to those of the backfield md
 that they give themselves away by shifting their eyes. While he has picked up many tricks of the trade
 under the tutorage of Coach Scott,
 Shorty attributes this particular fea-
 ture to the stuff hammered htt, him
