The Cftm0On CeleDf0ted
 Those backing tho Crimson tide, which was unlike most tides in that 1t remained station ary. had short, sweet celebra- tion, to say the least. It was in the second quarter. Bartlett shot a wicked forward pass of 15 yards to McCartree and Mack scooted 30 yards for touch- down. Goal was kicked.
 Glory be! Alabama had broken the icei But with the thermometer thermomming along in the nineties there was prec- ious little ice.
 The Alabama band. all dolled in their flag of truce suits, with vermillion trimmings, bore down on every Alabama war song in the deck.
 The cheer leaders threw the western bleachers into a pande- monium. Bedlam reigned Ala bama was celebrating. She was leading by TO score, and it looked like victory.
 Bartlett and Mccartree were the heroes of the minute. But they were not the only yaliants. Nay, bo! There was Shorty Propst, f'rinstance. Shorty was a whole team within himself. But you can take Bartlett and Me- Cartree, and Probst and in the latter stages of the game Me- Clintock for his plunging gains, ( and you have the Alabama stars.
 They didn't lose, those Ala bamians. But they came to town heralded pretty high, and depend to win by at least one touch- down. They didn't show their stuff. Only in rare instances did they strut it.
 But regardless of the poor football they played at times, and despite keen disappoint- ment of the University of Ala bama packers. one has to admit that their line held on the few times that Sewanee elected to pierce it. The Tiger seemed contented to punt the ball out of danger for a greater part of the afternoon.
 Go Get the Laurel
 To Wild Bill Coughlan of Bir- mingham, b'gosh, goes the laurel. Bill, playing his last football game at Redwood field after three hard years in the Tiger service, certainly closed out his career before the home people with all the glory the law allows.
 Bills stunt was one that even the Merriwell Brothers-Frank and Dick-wouId have been proud tr ,1 fx., l.. tering Birmingham Bill made it possible for the Purple Tiger to tie the score.
 It was in the third quarter that the Crimson attempted forward pass. Our Mir. Coughlan reached up into the air with his digits, in tercepted her and ran 75 yands to a touchdown. Can you beat 1t? Sounds like fiction, eh wot?
 Bill shook 'em off and then let 'em trail him. It locke like Heinte the Zim trying to chase Eddie Collins from third home. The further the chase the more Bill drew away from his pur- suers.
 And, as Harris Cope, ex-Se- NohCc SodSlir Sdlu. knOW Bill is a lo-second man. so I guess I'm a miner, for l started with him. and was there to watch him cross the goal line. Brother Cope is no longer at Sewanee. But his heart is there, and he told the Tigers a mouthful between halves Saturday Apparently his eloquence moved 'em. Moved 'em
  down the field on a 75-yard jaunt.
 Old Bill Coughlan has been a hero many times. but he did him- self proud Saturday. That 75- yard plunge down the field helped Sewanee ring up the third tie game of the i9 battles in which she has fought Alabama. The Tiger has won II, the Grim son five.
 Explanations Mawruss:
 There may have been more graceful fumbles than Alabama uncorked in the early part of the game, but there probably never were as great an assort ment of fumbles ever uncorked in single game.
 iHSy iuupltu on attempts to return punts, they fumbled on a pass from center, they furhbIed while running with the ball.
 They came to Birmingham de- termined not to catch the dengue fever. I don't believe it's possible for them to catch anything.
 The only way I could dope the many fumbled punts was that it was due to mental lapse. The feller who received evidently thought he was playing outfieid in baseball game. and that there was a man on third. with the ball foul fly. He missed 'em to keep the man on third from scoring on sacrifice fly.
 Miller All-Southern
 While the boys who pick all- Southern teams are looking around for an end to go on their mythical team, don't believe they'll be able to find a better man than Miller. That boy cer-
