Of Coast Battle

PASADENA, Calf, January 2.-In
the analysis of Alabama's 24-to-0
victory over Washington State
in the sixteenth annual Tournament
of Roses foot ball game here yester-
day, Freddie Sington, the Crimson
Tides gigantic all-America tackle,
was the outstanding player on the
field.
Singtou was being compared with
Turk Edwards, the Washington State
tackle, whom Westerners praise
highly, and he outclassed the Cougar
at every turn.
Sington was g stone wall on de-
Tense, and on offenSe he furnished
almost perfect interference and his
blocking was low and deadly. But
most of all he showed an almost
magic eye in following the bah, and
1t was his canny skill in following
the spheroid that enabled Alabama
to stop Washington's only serious
scoring threat.

Mr.. Hull declared he wanted
no consideration from the league

international. Photo

DENVER, Oct. / G.N.S).
Delegates to the fiftieth triennial
general convention of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church were
scattering to their homes in all
parts of the world today with
an impassioned challenge ringing
in their ears that they take the
lead in a war on greed.
The challenge was issued at
the closing session in the form
of a pastoral letter by Presiding
Bishop James DeWolf Perry, of
Rhode Island.
The letter implored churchmen
to condemn a system that places
immense wealth alongside Of dire
poverty, and to set themselves
against the loosening of family
ties and unbridled individualism
which results in increased crime
and destruction of social and
religious standards.
It failed to touch on several
controversial subjects that caused
heated debate amongst delegates,
such as divorce, birth control and
prohibition.
