ALABAMAISA
TO PLAY STANFORD
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| ATLANTA, Ga, November H.
| University Of Alabama's southern con-
ference foot ball championship, the
crimson tide, has been invited to meet
Stanford University at Pasadena,
Calf, on New Years day in the an
| nual Tournament Of Roses.
DIR. S. V. Sanford, president Of the
Southern Conference, informed the
Associated Press last night that the
matter Of acceptance will be submit
ted to the conference at it's annual
meeting, December and at Jack
sonville, Fla. Conference rules pro.
hibit post season games and a major
ity of the % conference members must
approve before the invitation can be
accepted.
1t was a crimson tide team that last
year brought back to the south its
first victory in a Tournament Of
Roses. Conference rules were sus-
pended so the champions could play
and the enthusiasm with which the
Invitation was greeted yesterday sug-
gests that conference approval will
be little more than formality. Coach
Wallace Wade of the Alabama team,
said last night that definite plans had
not been made.
In announcing the invitation Presi-
dent Sanford said that the honor last
year was appreciated, but to have the
offer extended two consecutive years
was Indeed a high tribute to south
ern foot ball"
Last year Alabama brought back
thrilling 20 to 10 victory over the
University of Washington. Led by
"Pooley" Hubert, quarterback, the
tide crashed through for three touch
downs in the third period, one of
which resulted from a 65-yard pass
by Hubert to Johnny Mack Brown.
The team this year does not have
Hubert or Brown, but has managed
to the CONSERVATION of other teams to
win eight straight games and it's third
straight conference championship.

| ~ HICAGO, November 1.-THE
Western Conference foot ball
season is just about over
~ except for the shouting, but
Big Ten schools busted off
their extra stadium seats today to
permit a record breaking volume at
Saturdays finale.
Every available inch in Minnesota's
big stands already has been claimed
by fans looking for a battle royal in
the second clash Of the year between
the Gophers and Michigan, one of
the two undefeated elevens in the
conference fight.
Fans stood in line through the
night when the final block of 4,500
went on sale, and advices from
Minneapolis say that the pasteboards
can't be had for love or money.
At Illinois Zuppke's men seem
sure to draw a capacity crowd to
watch their attempt to climb in Big
Ten standing at the expense of Ohio,
which dropped from the top by a
one-point victory for Michigan. The
Buckeyes rule a slight favorite now.
The Wisconsin, Chicago game is an
annual class for, their two home
towns, and even with the elevens
fighting to keep above the cellar this
Fall, Chicago looks for one of the
biggest crowds of the year. Both
teams are in the midst of a late
season change to radical shift in
play, stressing the aerial game and
anything can happen in their meet
ing.
Half of Iowa turned out to over
flow the Hawkeye Stadium once this
Fall and there are prospects of an
approximation Of the crowd when

GRIDDERS TO WEAR
"FOLLY- GIRL" GARB
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 17.-Old-
time foot ball stars, whose raiment
consisted of padding and more pad
ding will rub their eyes in amaze
ment when Syracuse takes the field
against Columbia in the annual
Thanksgiving day game at the Polo
Grounds.
If it is wet Coach Pete Reynolds
will have his warriors attired in oil
skin pants and thin f1esh-colored
stockings. IF it is fair. Syracuse will
sport new trousers and ankle-high
socks, with legs bare from ankle to
knee.
The "Folly-girl" garb is the latest
evolution of the foot ball uniform
from the protecti e to the speed stage
this season. Knute Rockne clothed his
team in silk pants for greater speed.
Coach Meehan of New York Univer-
sity and others fell into line.
The most interested spectator at the
Polo Grounds if he could be relieved
Of his engagements for the day
against the Nebraska eleven, proba-
bly, would he Capt. Frank Briante,
fullback of New York University. In
one of his initial plunges the first time
he sported his new silk trousers, he
was saved from embarra ssment only
by the fast work Of his mates, when
Carnegie Techs line demonstrated
that silk pants are built for speed and
| not durability.

A year ago George Washington
thought it had an excellent chance

otherwise and the final result was 20

Crum is anxious to avenge the de-
feat of a year ago, if it is possible to
do so, while the Brooklanders are more
than anxious to win in order to atone
for a somewhat scanty season from

George Washington nor Catholic Uni
versity seems to be as strong as a
year ago, though each has played
some mighty good games against

Only one game was booked for this
afternoon, st. Adams being down to
tackle George Washington Freshmen
at St. Alban's field at o'clock.
TOmorTOw's game, the second of the
two home affairs of the week end, will

boy champions of the Old Dominion
State. They already, this year, have
vanquished Central High and Alexan-

the whole season in which the Gal

And Gallaudet actually will not play
on its home field, as the contest has
been transferred to American League
Park. The Kendall Greencrs think
they have a good chance to win their
final game of the season. If there
were games such as have been played
here this contest would not be given
a whole lot of consideration. but as the

next best thing.
