That 34-yard march of the
Alabamans to a tou C h d o W n
against C. U. was an exposition
of real power and gave some in
timation of what Crimson Tide
players with the benefit of weeks
of practice together could do. c.
U. played an admirable game
but the Cardinals were much too
light for Alabama.
Georgetown Threatens
The final tilt was the out
standing football game of the
three. Georgetown penetrated to
the Tides 1-foot line but could
not score. 1t was the last stand
of the valiant Alabanans, and
only the more endeared the
Crimson Tide players to even
partisan Georgetown rooters.

great football attraction, with
the charitable impulse beating
harder than the impulse which
generally pulls adherents of a
couple of colleges through the
turnStileS.
Regardless of what the game
established in rating this city
as gridiron center. it was
worth every effort expended if
only for the 1000 odd dollars
it generated for the unem-
ployed, which sum will be in
creased considerably when re-

Traditional Interest

Football being essentially a
traditional sport, teams prop
erly mated and carrying sec
tional and intersectional ap-
peal, will crowd 'em in around
Washington the same as any
other normal city. Remem-
bering that washington is a
cross section of the rest of the
nation. why shouldn't the com

Real credit should go to Joe
Sweeney, who made numerous
gains through the Hawks forward
wall by his famous twisting. run

the only man that could stand
up long enough to do any long
gaining. Joe proved to be an
excellent mudder.
The AlexandrianS were padded

Tide teams were wiped away
Despite the fact that the Wis
iting Alabamans were held to two
Scoreless ties by Georgetown and
George Washington the Tide
proved itself a football outfit in
every sense of the word.
Underneath the rather strained
efforts of men not exactly in the
best of physical condition, one
trained to the football field read
lily found numerous reasons for
Alabama's great gridiron sue,

Hubert Was Good

Sharpe, 'Bama's center, seemed
to be about the last word in a

a terror.
Smith and Dob':s, Clement and
Sington. Howard and Miller, all
of the AlabamanS, indeed, showed
every indication of being truly
great football players. They
flashed their form only in spots,
to be sure, but great natural abll
ity and superior merit as football
players we're readily evident to
those who regularly follow affairs
of the gridiron.

II PAL PASSED
Up BY [|NDY

Lindy passed up an old friend
the last time he was in Wash
ington, it was learned today.
Under the old rafterS Of the
Smithsonian Institution is the
plane in which he made his
epochal flight to Paris in 1927.
It is the object of hundreds Of
tourists enthusiasm, but when
Col. Charles A., Lindbergh was
here preparing for his flight to
Japan he didn't go near his old
ship.
Friends Of the flier, however,
say it wasn't lack Of interest,
but lack Of time: Mrs. Lindbergh,
however, is thought to have seen
it, for a young woman who
looked like her was seen looking
the plane over, guards at the in
Stitution declare.
On previous visits to Washing
ton, the flier has gone to the
museum and seen his old ship.
He has spent a great deal of
time looking for defects. On
several occasions he has sug.
geSted changes that might be
made to preserve the ship.

GORNWELL DAY
BRINGS GOSSIP

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Aug.
l-Political observers regard the
two-day homecoming festivities
at Romney, Hampshire county,
with its final "Cornwell Day"
climax as something of a pre-
campaign boom for the return
to the governors chair of John
J.. Cornwell, West Virginia's war
time chief executive.
The climax of the twO-day
event was Centered around q
mass tribute to COrnwelI, native
Of Hampshire and counted its
most famous son. Prominent
political figures were present as
well as several thousand visitors
and former residents.
When he was elected in 1917
Cornwell was the first Demo-
cratic governor in 20 years and
there has been none since. He
was first nominated in 1904 and
was beaten by only a 5000
majority but where he failed in
1904 he succeeded in 1916. Fol
lowing his term, from 1917 to
1921, he retired from political
life and became chief counsel
for the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. He has continued to main
tain his residence in Romney.
