And the Alamo CityRan Third

Yes, IL was a beautiful race for the honor Of first Of
Texas cities in point Of population between San An
tonic and Dallas for many years. San Antonio is not
the largest city in the state for the first time since the
1890 census. In that year Dallas led San Antonio by
so4. In 1890, Dallas had a population of 5s.O67 and
San Antonio 81, SIS.
San Antonio was settled in 1716. Dallas was settled
IN the 1840s.
This is the official figure for three Texas cities as
announced By the census bureau in 1880: Houston,
290,8ll; Dallas, 26O397; san Antonio. 254562. Hous-
ton was third city in 1920. Now It has a long lead
over Dallas, which is second. and San Antonio, rank
ing third.
San Antonio has called for a recount, or rather a

political horns in 1892 for the control Of the state gov

Genaro, at 20, is a veteran OF full

''POP" LANIGAN DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Coach at Virginia for Quarter OF
Century Was Retired in
June, 1929.

UNIVERSITY, Va, December 25.-
Henry Haden Lannigan, for quarter
century coach of track and basket ball
at the University of Virginia, died early
Yesterday in the University Hospital
after an illness of many months. He
was 65 years Of age.
pop" Lannigan, as he was affection
ately known, was a native OF Wales.
He came to Virginia in 1904 from Cor
nell University, where he had been
junior director Of physical training. He
had previously been connected with the
Y. M. C. AS in Norfolk and Lynchburg,
Va.
In June. 1929, Coach Lannigan was
retired from active service by the uni
versity on a pension after completing his
twenty-fifth season in charge Of track
and basket ball teams. His health was
failing at this time and for many
months before his death he was con-
fined to his bed.
Basket ball was introduced at Vir-
GINA by Coach Bannigan during the
first year Of his service here. He was
the first coach to develop the five-man
defense in the South. What are gener-
ally regarded as his best teams were
produced in 1914, 1915 and 1916, when
only three games were lost in three sea-
sons.
Under Coach Lannigan Virginia track
teams were usually able to compete on
even terms with the best in the South
and East. He coached the mile relay
team that won the national title in 1924
and the Pennsylvania relays. In 1903 he
sent James Rector to compete for the
United States in the Olympic sprints
and just 20 years later he developed
Henry Cumming for the same events.
Coach Lannigan Is survived by his
wife, the former Helen White of Mount
Vernon, Me-, and by two daughters.
Funeral services win be held Saturday
at pm. Eight former athletes will
serve as pallbearers.

To many of these chosen athletes

CRIMSON, COUGARS
COMPARE EVENLY
AIabama's Chief Problem Is
to Shake OFF Effects of
Long Journey.

BY the Associated Press.
DASADENA, Calf, December
- 25.-In Coach Wallace
Wade's own words "condi-
ton will tell' when Wash
ington State and Alabama meet
in the Rose Tournament foot ball
classic here New Year day.
AS far as the two teams are con-
cerned, they compare on an equal
basis, line for lipe and backf1eld
for backfield. Their records match
favorably and their offensive play
has been similar.
With this in mind, Christmas
became work day for both
squads, with routine practice ses-
sions the order of the day.
"Our chief problem is getting the
men in shape" said Coach Wade. They
are still loggy from the long trip. I
can't see how a team can make such
q Journey and play It's best game Of
foot ball, but we certainly hope to.
Matter Of Selection.
"There isn't much in the way of de-
Tense and offense that can be done now.
The only thing is to sort out the eleven
men who appear to be the best fitted
and start them"
After two workouts yesterday on
fundamentals mainly, with some pass
ing, kicking and blocking, the Tide
ebned back to its hotel, but will go to
work again this morning. A sight-see-
ing trip probably will be part of the
afternoon program Except for tired
ness due to the long train trip. the
Southern boys were in good condition
and snapped through their workout in
good style, showing considerable pass
ing ability during the afternoon.
Coach Grin Babe" Hollingbery
closed the gates to his practice session
yesterday, but allowed a few of the
select to enter Dummy Scrimmage of
plays was in order, including a num-
Der of new pass plays with Carl Filing
sen doing most of the tossing.
While Alabama stole a march on the
Cougars by staging two practice tits,
Coach Hollingbery excused himself from
visiting newspaper men early and gave
his team q good workout in the two
hours.
Celebrate Christmas.
Washington State plans to work out
In the afternoon as usual today, after
which the players will have their own
Christmas party. The Cougars, too,
are in good condition and right now
seem to have bit more pep than the
'Bama players.
Cool weather, which has prevailed
since the arrival of both teams, has
favored workouts, and both coaches
expressed hope that it would continue
until after the game
Should this weather continue until
the day of the game" said Coach Wade,

Is apt to wilt under it,"
