The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-01

Led by Stumpy Bartlett, who is ai- southern timber if ever there was at Alabama. the Crimsons ran rough shod over the downtrodden Aggies yesterday. And when they found the running hard. they passed the ball thr ough the air for scores. And when the aerial attack failed to produce. there was always tho educated tod of stumpy Bartlett to try for points from the field.
 Bartlett registered seven success full kicks from placement in yester- days game. five of them coming in the try for point after touchdown. and two for regulation field goals. Stumpy's running and kicking were dazzling spots In the brilliant of fensive offered by the Crimsons yes- terday.
 llama Shows Much
 Never has an Alabama team shown so much at Rickwood before. There was an offensive for even the most exacting fan. At running, at pass fng and at kicking the Crimsons excelled their Aggie foes In decisive manner. In addition, the Crimson de- fense was In prime condition. The forwards were charging low and har,l, and Aggie backs never really had chance to show their wares.
 crimsons Line Hslds
 When the Aggies resorted to aerial fun ffptr them up. or the ball was grounded On two or three occasions. however. MeGowan. giant backfield star of the ARgies, hurled perfect passes into the arms of his mates, and the Ag- gies seemed to threaten. But, then the gallant Thin Red Line would rise in all it's power and hurl the Aegies back time after time. Once, McGowan completed g long pass that traveied almost half the length of the field. An Agsy backfield man caught the ball. but was down within 'Bama's fiye-yard line, Three Maroon onslaughts at the line avaiied them naubht, and pass was grounded on the fourth down. the ball going over to the Crimsons, who rushed and booted the ball out of danger.
 In all emergencies. the Crimson forwards were there with the goods to check the first advances of the 0Asgies,
 Mcoartee Comes Through
 Mecartee. Ken Scott's protegea, came through with really first class backfield performance yester- day, He plunged. sidsstepped and twisted his way through the Agsie line and through broken fields for numerous gains, and his handling of punts was far from the shaky exh- bitien given against Sewanee at Rick wood several weeks ago. Mccar- tee ought to develop into q backfield gem of the first water with q little more experience ard coaching.
 Not to be lsft out of the list of heroes and stars were three other backfield performers, w. c. Baty. . Birmingham boy; Papa" Hubert. and eBig Boy Whitaker. All three played stellar roles against the Ag- gies and plunged through for great gains. This trio did most of the line pIunging, with McCartee and Bart lett running the ends and tackles.
 The performance of the backs stood out most prominently in yesterdays games>. simply because the results of their work could be measured in yards and touchdowns. Thalinemen played just as great a garN as the hacks. but their work was not so noticeable, which is <somehow or other the lot Of all good linemen. The sight of SAggie backs being hurled to the abound for no gain and often for losses, however, tells of the effectiveness Of the Crimson forward wall yesterday.
 The Birmingham boys on the Bama team showed to great advantage. In the haeafield. W. C.. Baty hit the line for good gains. while Newton at end, Hovater at tackle and Propst at center played leading roles in the de- feat of the Aggies.
 For the losers the work Of Me Gowan and Barnett in the backfield stood out, although neither was able toS do much. because of the fierceness of the Crimson line. McGowan did some nice passing and bunting, while Barnett handled punts we'll, and was on the receiving end of two pretty losses from MeGowan.
 The Maroon line was torn to pieces 5y the 6'rimsons. but Noble. a at-end. Myers. at guard and Hubbard. at tackle, performed in as creditable fashion as could hs expected ander the cireumstanees,
 x fairly large crowd turned oul to witness the Turkey Day classic. and
