HEAVIEST LINEUP
Zimmerman Is Main Hope of
Underdog Eleven in New
Year Day Battle.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.
OS ANGELES. Calf, Decem-


Der 30.-Tulane University,
l. champion Of the South, is
banking on a line that will
average 200 pounds in weight to
stop the charge of Southern Cali
fornia in the annual Rose Bowl
game across the Arroyo in PaSa-
dena New Year day. Bernie Bier
man, coach of the Southern
eleven, is banking on power to
stop power when his Green eleven
goes out to meet the Trojans in
the game that will determine the
mythical national championship.
According to advance information
the Tulane starting lineup Will IN
clude Capt. Dalrymple and Haynes on
the wings, Upton and Cunningham at
the tackles, Mccormick and Scatce al
guards and Rodrigues at center. Ihe
backfield will be composed OF Dawson
at quarter, with Zimmerman and Glover
at halves and FeltS at fullback. That
is the heaviest lineup Tulane can
muster for the big game and Coach
bltl man bI4ACNSo ~ AAfAo oNAAASASAiS
to check any and all attacks the
Trojans can muster.
THE hope of the Tulane eleven is
l. Zimmerman, left halfback. Alm-
norman, only l9 years OF age, Is
regarded as the second greatest for
ward passer ever developed at the New
orleans school. Only Lester Lauten-
schalger rates ahead of the Flying
Dutchman" in Tulane's gridiron an
nails. and If Zimmerman performs ac-
cording to Coach Bierman'S expecta-
tions on New Year day f.c may surpass
the fame of Lautenschalger, who now
is the backfield coach at Tulane.
Zimmerman not cnly is great paSSer
but also an excellent ball carrier and
tremendously fest. He does the KICK
ing for the grcenies, kicks the points
after touchdown, plays safety, docks
and is a fine defense man. AS matter
of fact. there Is nothing this thinner
m9n cannot do, according to Tulane
follower.
The Tulane star is a very versatile
atNl-te. He holds the all-time junior
A. A. U. poll vault record at l3 teet
s.. inches, mace at Lincoln, Nebr., last
Summer He also won the interscho--
Iaetic iavelln throw while in high school
ri mas BCE@l O4lNAC d NOAlNASSS ~ -
pi4cher By ssyeral major league teams.
Reading down the line of thinner
mans athletic achievements, one learns
he elso Is a fine tennis player, star at
hand ball and broad-iumping, good
hurdler. sprinter and basket ball play
er. In fact, there is nothing athleticany
he does not do well. Also fine stu
dent he Is pursuing the study Of law
g. Tulane. II Southern California has
any one to m7t.h the Southern Dutch
man, Tulane wants 10 meet him.
nESPITE Zimmerman, the game al
IL ready has been conceded to the
Trojans by a wide margin. But II
Tulane is to gain by the air lanes, Zim-
norman will command the raids, and II
any one makes a long run for touch
down it probably will be him.
Tulane has been drilling with the
utmost secrecy over in Pasadena and
has been cooking up much new stun
for the Trojans During the last few
days the Tulane squad has shown
tremendous improvement in their work,
and while it is still believed the South
erners will lose the margin may be
much smaller than has been predicted.
Many Southern California followers
have been giving from twenty to thirty
points in the wagering and Tulane does
not impress one as a team that Will
take any such beating.
