The University of Alabama football

today with 20-to-19 victory over
the University of Washington Huskies,
champions Of the Pacific Coast, in
their New Years Day West
game in the Rose Bowl here.
The game was the eleventh since the
first East-West contest here in 1916,
and in it the South wrote for the first
time the history of a victory by that
section on a Far Western gridiron.
Out of the South came the Crimson
Tide" to find itself. at game time. out
classed in the betting. outweighed in
line and backficld, only to open up, in
the third period, when all hope of
victory seemed gone, a brilliant sue
cession of passes, runs and bucks, to
pierce the Husky line three times in
rapid cession for touchdowns.
which. aided by Buckler's two points
after touchdowns. gave the Southern
err a well-deserved victory.

coming this apparently insurmountab,e
lead. but the Tuscaloosa team saw an
opportunity in the absence of Wash
ington's keystone player, and. under
the able field generalship of -Pooley"
Hubert, started a brilliant offensive
which ripped the Husky defense TO
ribbons.
The North,s great balfback returned
to the lineup in the fourth period
when Washington was eight points be-
hind, but too late, for Hubert and
Johnny Mack Brown. with whom be
shared the honors Of victory, had done
their work.
Paving the way with his own ter
rifle smashes off tackle, Wilson passed
TO Guttormsen for a touchdown. But
a point was needed TO lie the score. a
point which would have been made had
Guttormsen's almost always depend
able toe not failed in one of two
chances the stocky quarterback had 10

Although only four passes out of
fourteen attempted by Alabama were
completed the Tuscaloosa teams long
