and ten per cent of them will gain
admittance to the rose bowl where
the classic conflict will be staged.
Sunny Southland Weather
The day dawned with normal
Southern California weather, with
promise Of warm sun by game
time. with 4 temperature of be-
tween 60 and 20 degrees. The heat
may slow down the players, as
neither the Alabamans nor the
Huskies are accustomed to such
temperature.
Thousands of visitors to the an
nual football fiesta failed to-. get
tickets to the game. Sealpers got
as high as $25 for choice seats.
Magnificent Pageant
The magnificent floral pageant
which preceded the rose bowl bat
tie was staged in the forenoon. A
procession of brilliant floral floats.
led by "Miss America,' queen of
the day, passed through downtown
streets between the hours of 10 a.
nj. and p. m.
It was Pasadena s 3sth annual
floral fiesta and the Ala bama-
Washington affair was the llth in
tersectional football battle both of
which have become an annual in
stitution.
Washington 8 Huskies were 10 to
: favorites over the lighter south
ern eleven. 1t will probably be a
struggle of weight and power
against speed and cunning.
Great Field General
Alabama has one Of the greatest
field generals in the game in
Pooley'' Hubert. and the old
south is counting on this lad 5e 70
lead his teammates to victory.
Hubert will have Brown and
Gillis, all-southern halfbacks, and
Barnes, a great fullback. aiding in
the backfield. All arc triplethreat
men, and fast performers on any
field.
The Huskies greatest boast is
George Wilson, their all-American
half back. 1t will be Wilson s last
battle for his Alma Mater, and the
backfield artist is determined to
40 a brilliant swan song.
Elmer Tesreau, captain, is also
playing his last game for Washing
ton. The giant fullback was pick
ed by many experts as a greater
star than Nevers, Stanford s all
i American.
The southern champions believe
their play today is to stop Tesreau
and Wilson. They have plenty of
| confidence in their offensive
! prowess, but they are admittedly
not quite as certain about their
ability to hold back two such ter
lors of the gridiron as the Huskies
have produced.
Injured To Climate
The Dixie team came here more
than a week ago and is more or
! less Injured TO California climate.
The Huskies came yesterday, Coach
Enoch Bagshaw feeling that more
than day or two of the southland
climate would hamper his players

Both elevens will probably feel
the effects of the temperature be-
for the game has ended. The
southerners will play without socks,
and Hubert and some of the Others
will not use any headgears.
At least half of the $4,000 per-
sons fortunate enough to get seats
to the game Will be rooters for Ala
bama. The Washington eleven is
traditional rival of Southern Cal
ifornia University and thousands of
Los Angeles partisans will cheers
| for the southerners.
1--WE came long way to play this
football game and we hope to put
the southern grid game on par
with any in the country" Coach
Wallace Wade said in behalf Of his
southern champions.
"My boys are keyed higher than
kite and will fight Washington
to the last drachma of endurance
for the smallest margin of success. -
Coach Enoch Bagshaw said for
Washington:
"We are confident Of victory and
will enter the game ready to give
Alabama all the drive. and, power
that has been built in the north
west.
