ALABAMA MADE
TOP FAVORITE
OVER COUCERS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 26. UP
The strange process of making
football favorites has placed Ala
bama in that most enviable of spots
for the Tournament of Roses game
against Washington State New
Years Day.
Betting odds generally favor Ala
bama, with the Southerners ruling
as high as 2 to / favorites in many
quarters.
Strangely, it is hard to find a
Washington State backer even in
this section where the Cougars are
undefeated and united champions.
Every possible comparison-past
performances, playing strength,
weight and speed--indicate the
closest sort of battle between the
two rivals. Both teams have won
nine games. Washington State has
scored 227 points to its opponents
80 Alabama has amassed 247 points
to its opponents 13 Each has proved
it's mettle in rough going-Washing
ton State in beating Southern Cali
fornia, 7-6, and Washington, 80,
and Alabama in defeating Wander
bilt, 1877, and Georgia, 1870.
The fallacy of football favorites
is exposed by one expert who favors
Alabama because the Southern
teams players appear to have
stronger legs and bigger necks. The
frail underpining of Mel Helm, ALL
American center on many teams,
and Jack Parodi, guard. is weighed
against Washington States chances
in this prognosticator's system.
With psychology on its side,
Washington States seems to be the
favored under dog" Memories are
short down football alley, but surely
there are some who can recall the
fate of the last overwhelming ia
vorite in this locality: Notre Dame,
81: Southern California. 0.

coach. THE more we hear it the

some even go back a few years 20
the Crimson Tides 20-l9 victory
over Washington here in 1926 and
the TT tie with Stanford in 1927.
On this score. Washington State
also has a perfect record, having
beaten Brown in the first Tourna-
ment of Roses game in 1916 by a
l4-0 score.
The defensive records of the two
teams brings out an interesting
point. Both touchdowns scored
against Alabama resulted from
passes scoring on pass
over the line and Tennessee COM
pleting a pass to the 2-yard line
and bucking the ball over.
Three of the five touchdowns
made against Washington State
were via the aerial route. The other
two made against the Western team

VOLTS voice and his actions were
those of a man suddenly demented.
The anger which possessed him made
his body shake like an aspen. AS he
talked. he came close to Rod so that
the latter could feel the point OF his
gun. The youth knew that Wolf
must be under the influence of some
drug, or he would not be foolhardy
enough to risk shooting him in such
public place. The thought came
to him that he might as well at
tempt to have it out with his enemy
right in the corridor as in the great
err privacy of the Mushroom.
He tensed his body to spring at
Wolf, while his ears seemed to hear
in advance the roar of gun.
