SET FOR JUNE Z

Distinguished Party to
Frederick, Md.

Prepared for any sacrifice in the
name OF the Alfalfa Club, 125 public
offlcials, professional men and local
business leaders will journey back to
the farm next month to determine
what their organization has in common
with the common alfalfa plant.
The expedition will be led by Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi, president
of the Alfalfa Club. to the farm Of
Joseph H. Hines, former member Of
the House, near Frederick, Md, on
June IL.
Command invitations to join the
expedition have been issued to a Sc
lected group of club members, picked
for their daring and fortitude, by
Charles P. Light, secretary of the club
since its foundation.
Robinson to Be in Party.
After a quarter of century OF fun
making and grave consideration Of
the reported virtues Of alfalfa, which
Is said to burroW deeper into the
ground for moisture than any other
native plant, club members at their
foraging party last January decided
the time had come to go out into the
field and meet an alfalfa face to face.
Stalking the wary alfalfa with Sena-
tor Harrison will be Senators Robinson
Pittman, Connally, Byrnes, Byrd
Bulow and McNary, who were selected
because of their experience in wrestling
with the farm problem.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson
chairman of the American Red Gross
has promised to set up first-aid tents
to cope with any emergency.
Representative SneN Republican
floor leader, has been appointed time
keeper-and will see to it that none
OF the farm hands works more thar
eight hours.
Jones Among Inspectors.
On the sidelines as inspectors will
be Jesse H. Jones, Robert v. Fleming
Corooran Thorn, Eugene Meyer, Frank
j. Hogan. George H. O'Connor anc
Thomas w. Brahany.
Some enthusiastic members of tn.
club, 1t is reported, have for many
years been sorrowing over the plight O.
the poor alfalfa, which is doomed t<
stay in one place-even dry place
burrowing steadily for moisture. The!
propose on the expedition to cross thu
alfalfa with the Mexican jumping
bean, so that thirsty plant can NOV,
from place to place for its moisture.
Hines has donated large field o
alfalfa for the experiment. The onl.
restriction laid down is that the f1elt
be left on his farm.

News gathering is divided into two periods
from a. m. to p m. for afternoon papers and
from z p. m. to a. m. for morning papers. All
morning papers carry news stories bearing date
lines of the previous day. They reprint news
that has happened the day before and which has
been printed in afternoon newspapers. OF
course they have the advantage of late afternoon

midnight, but everything they print is the previ

Most morning newspapers circulated in Hen.
Jacksonville are printed before midnight of the
previous night and as consequence they do not
have much later news than that printed in the
late afternoon of the previous day. Other after
noon papers circulated here are printed before
noon, and The Times-News therefore carries
news as much as three hours later on the same
day. Furthermore 49, and of particular impor'

If winning"
From other coaches of the
Southeastern Conference, have
opinions. They agree that Ala.
bama will give another excellent
account of itself in the Rose Bowl.
Speaking of the good accounts
the Tide has given of itself in
the Rose Bowl, it might be ad-
visable to go into that matter
first.
FIRST IN 1926
In 1925, the Crimson Tide first
appeared in the Rose Bowl. At
halftime, Washington was in the
van, IL to 6, and the outlook for
the Southern team was dismal.
However, in the second half, the
Tide rolled and Alabama won,
20 to 10.
In 1927, the Tide, faced with
the enormous job of scoring a
touchdown and kicking point
after-touchdown, came through to
tie Stanford, TT.
In 1881, Alabama routed Wash.
ington State, "a to 0.
In 1885, Alabama, for the
fourth time, appeared in the Rose
Bowl, this time again pitted
against Stanford. The Sensa.
tional forward-passing attack of
the Tide, with slender Dixie
Howell tossing and big. speedy
Don Hutson catching, was toe
much for Stanford and Alabama
won, 20 to 13.
Alabama this year has nc
Howell -Hutson combination, but
the Tide is capable of taking care
of itself.
The hallmark Of all great
'Bama teams is the same which
has stamped the Tide of 1887:
this team comes from behind to
win, too.
