 TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Nov, 8.-They sacrificed Kentucky this afternoon to make a Crimson holiday; but not before the Wildcat had threat ened to turn it into a Tarta- rean banquet. M
 The Wildcat might have returned to his blue grass lair tonight more auspiciously than he had left had he no1 committed the unforgivable faux pas of crossing the Grim son goal line for the first time this year.
 That touchdown, coming when tne third quarter barely had begun tranF- formed the 1idesform a calm current m to the 1maddened fury of raging Niagara. Sweeping forward wisn ~. ai. irresistible force Alabama then, put hot until then, demonstrated to crowd oL |. 900. drawn to the University py tne Iinual Homecoming celebration the stuff from which champions are made.
 Played Indifferently
 For the first two periods and into the third the Crimson played little bet fer than an indifferent brand or loot hall. Occasionally the smooth working rnechanism, which had already brushed ogitie Georgia Tech and now promises to attain the highest of southern col iepiate honors, was in evidence, but for tLe most mart its action was slow and uncertain. Graduates who had covered miles to witness the game looked worderingly at one another. Where was the much vaunted areial attacK the highly touted backfleid the reared forward wall?
 The score at this time stood IA to 0 and, though perhaps representing the superiority of the Crimson eleven. was obtained by no playA much above the common plane and surely not that oi ranking grid team.

 Stands Stunned
 Except for few handful of Ken lucky students, huddled together on the east side of the field, the stands were stunned. Alabama's band broke loose in encouragement and there was some intermittent cheering, but it lacked the accustomed vigor. In another minute Sanders bad added a goal from place nent and the score was. 14 to z.
 Whatever of the omnibus this score may have indicated it remained for John McRrown to dispell. In a single play he rallied the Crimson, still quiverine from the shock of the first score of the year against them, and revived them to a raging, relentless attack which could have been denied in few bowls in the country.
 John McBrown comes from DOthar and plays halfback without the mora support of stockings. He is tall ant rangy and, though perhaps not SC fast and elusive as Rosenfeld, witt
