Rivals Set
Offensive Battle Expected
in Rose Tourney
Classic.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY,
United Press staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 30
Famed for their defensive records,
Alabama and Washington State are
quite likely to double in brass"
when they meet in the Tournament
Of Roses football game in Rose bowl
New Years day.
Although Alabama has rolled up
247 points in nine games the team
has yet to unleash the full power of
its offense for all of an important
game. Washington State has scored
221 points in nine games, but was
held to a single touchdown by
Southern California and field goal
by Washington.
Stresses Offense
Workouts Of the two Tournament
Of Roses rivals since they arrived
here indicate both are preparing for
an offensive battle. Alabamas at
tack features power and Washing
ton states deception.
Alabama has stressed offenSe con-
tinually in its workouts with almost
no attention at all to defensive
drill. The Crimson Tide has never
been behind this season, but after
scoring early on Tennessee, Wander
bilt and George three
hardest games - the southerners
coasted home to fairly close vic
tories. This time, it seems, Bama
plans to shoot the works"
'Bama Line Best?
After watching the two squads in
their drills here, they shape up as
follows:
ALABAMA
1. More power and drive
2. Hard charging line on o1enseg
8. More reserve strength
4. Better drilled fundamentals.
WASHINGTON STATE
!. More dangerous. diversified attack
kicking.
3. Less impressive in training. but apt to
rise to occasion in competition because of
large number of veterans on team. Eight
members hrst team have played together
three years.l
4. Mental attitude better because they
have been made underdogs.
In weight there is little to choose
between the rival lines, but the
Alabama forward wall of Clement,
Howard, Eerdt, Miller and Sington
seems to outclass Washington
States Edwards, Hurley, Helm, Pa
rodi and Ahlskog.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80. - More
than $50 college football coaches
from all parts of the country were
on their way home today after the
most successful convention they
have held in years.
There was the same talk, the
same banter as in former years, but
when they adjourned late Monday
night the boys had something more
than headaches to show for their
work.
The most important bit of bust
ness transacted was the blanket in
dorsement Of the following resolu-
tons:
/. Elimination of all organized practice
before Sept. 10.
2. Reduction of post season and charity
games to a minimum
8. Limitation of fall practice to two
> 4. Spring practice, If any. to be elective,
and not to interfere with other spring
sports.
The resolutions are calculated to
put an end to possible over
emphasis.
