ALABAMA GETS
 ROSEB BOWL CAME
Fordhafn Not Considered {; Louisiana vs. Santa
 Clara'in Sugar Bowl
By JAMES A. SULLIVAN United Press stan Corrcspondent)


 San Francisco, Dec. i-(UP)-The University of Alabama, which has had more football teams In the Rose Bowl than the University of Cali fornia whose Pacific conference dc. fends the classic every year, will rep. resent the east once more on New Years day ct Pasadena.
 Alabama's acceptance was an. nounced last night by Kenneth Priestly, California graduate man. ager. California, aS Pacific cham. pion, won the western Rose Bowl rights automatically and the right to invite It's opponent.
 Alabama is one of the outstanding unbeaten, united teams of the sea. son. CaliforniA won nine games and tied ono, that with Washington.
 Pittsburgh, generally rated strong or than either bowl team, bowed out of It's own accord by declining any bid in advance. Fordhafli, which tied Pittsburgh and won oil its other games this year, appar. ently was not considered.
 The selection of Alabama do. prived the New orleans Sugar Bowl game of the southeastern confer. enco champion. The Idea Of Sugar Bowl promoters was to match tho southern champion with on out- standing team from some other sec. ton for 0 New Yoar's classic ir cotf- petition with Pasadena.
 Louisiana State, runner up to AL Abama in the southeast, waS selects cd yesterday fog- the Sugar Bowl and It's opponent will Do unbeaten and united Santa Clara of this same San Francisco area !n which Cali- fornia university !s located. The south and tho west then, will doml- nate both the major bowl games.
 California's team has been pyac- ticing since Monday. Prlestly planned to leave here for Pasadena soon to arrange 10 Fticlket sales.
 Four Alabama teams have played In the Rose Bowl. Tn 1928 the Red Tordnado of Tuscaloosa defeated Washington, 20-io ;the next year Alabama and Stanford played . 7-7 tle; in 1891 tho AiabamaiiS came back to yout Washington State M-0; in leSS they defeated stan- ford 2e-i3. l,
 Californias Rose Bowl record in- eludes three games. The Bears dc. feated Ohio State there In 1920, 28-0. The next year they played 6 scoreiess tic with Washington. Jefferson. Tn 1920 Georgia Tech beat California in tho game In which Roy Riegols made hb famous run the wrong way.
