While Alabama always has had fine
base ball teams. Wade's 1924 eleven
was the first to come through with d
title. His reputation as a foot ball
mentor should gain added luster next
FALL since he has splendid material
with which to work, including a back
field which seems likely to stand
among the best backfields in the land.
Wade's success has been his sim
cerity, his ambition and his thorough
knowledge of technique. both in base
ball and foot ball. Then, too. he has
that quality which causes his men

While Wade was associate foot ball
coach at Vanderbilt the Commodores

enjoyed at Nandy.
Since going to Alabama his teams
have been runnerup once and a win
ner in the Southern Conference. Cen

Southern elevenS that have beaten
Alabama in Wade's administration.
