DOUBLE LINE IS
 REAL SECRET OF 'BAMA SUCCESS
Rose Bowl Aspirants Very Strong at Every Position;
 Scored 200 Points to '
RY THOMAS A. DOZIER


 United Press Stan COrRespOndent) Tuscaloosa, Ala, Nov. 3-(UP)- No less a catastrophe than an earthquake or plague or, only slight- ly less traffic in the eyes of the faithful, a humping defeat of the Alabama football team could shake the conviction of its supporters that the crimson tide is rolling toward the Rose Bowl for the fifth time.
 Here are the facts and figures on which Alabama rests its case at this stage of the season which is early for Rose Bowl talk:
 In five games this year Alabama has been scored on only once, by & Tennessee team that threw every thing 1t had into a last-period touchdown drive.
 In six games the tide has amas- sed 200 points with only seven being scored against 1t.
 It has gained net total of 1910 yards to 558 for the opposition, and registered 97 first downs against 3i.
 The remaining opponents on AL abama's schedule are Tulane, Geor- gia Tech and Vanderbilt. All have been beaten.
 What makes this strong, silent team of football clickp Here's the answer:
 Coach Frank Thomas in his sixth, year at Alabama has developed two "first string lines" that are as in- terchangeable as the top and bot tom halves of Q typewriter ribbon Some experts regard these lines as the fastest in history.
 Not a position is vulnerable. Al the ends of the main line are Per- ron Shoemaker and Tut Warren at tackles, Jim Ryba and Jim Tip. ton: at guards. Capt. Leroy Mon. sky and Lew Bostick; at center Carey Cox and Jack Machtolff both of whom are so efficient that neither can be termed a first. stringer.
 But the story is not in the names of outstanding linemen. For every position there also is a strong soph. omore challenging the veteran fol his berth.
 Tn the backfield it's pretty mucf the same. Outstanding is Joe XII. grow at left half. George zivich or the other side has to hustle to bet. ter the performance of Bill Sle. mons. sophomore from Orlando Fla. At fullback, big Charlie Holm is making Alabama football history and at quarterback is Vic Bradford
 Holm is the leading ground gain- CT with 479 yards in "A tries for ar average of 65 yards per try. XII. grow has made AT yards in 8l tries and completed i3 passes out Of l; for 242 yards and three touchdowns Holm, incidentally, didn't even make @ letter last year.

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Barbara Stanwyck will make that guest appearance on the Chase and rSanborn Hour on Sunday, November 2, instead of the previous week as originally scheduled. Picture work kept Miss Stanwck from joining the "big show" cast this week. Next Sunday however she and Don Ameche will be starred in the dra- matic highlight of the full hour broadcast over the NEG red net work at 800 D. m. (EST). Nelson Eddy, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mccarthy, the Stroud Twins, Dor othy Lamour and Robert Arlnbru- ster's orchestra complete the bill. Nelson Eddy sings the Riff Song" from "The Desert Song;" "Estrelita" by Pence; "Quand La Flame de lAmour" from "La Jolie File dc Perth" by Bizet; and the traditional spiritual, Deep River" Meeting Miss Stanwyck, Charlie Mccarthy will be somewhat more at home again. He finds 1t a lot easier to get acquainted with the picture folk than with the elusive Betty Lou who couldn't even be seen.

Not Spontaneous

People here in Waterbury have been reading quite bit lately about brush fires. There have been several bad ones, notably last week. Oddly enough if you check back on the records, you'll see that these fires have occurred in about the same places for successive years. This may or may not prove anything to the average man, but it does to fire officials. It is not our purpose tonight to fix the blame for the brush fires we have had locally. We have seen no official pro- nouncementS, so can conclude that they have been accidental.
 But many newspaper editors are be- coming aware of the fact that seasonally certain areas of land are bound to be devastated by fire. And as the years go by the acres that are burned increase. A little more timberland will be laid bare. And it all goes back to the fact that we are too careless in burning brush and grass. That's the answer to the en- tire problem. Check up the lists and then you'll find that fires caused by sparks from passing engines, which are always cited as causes, are in the minority.
 The long list of fires are those with cause unknown. They can be traced to a beginning, but rarely can the person or persons responsible be ascertained. This is equally true of the smaller brush fire within the city limits They can be traced, usually to an effort to burn Up an accumulation of rubbish or to burn the dead grass off field. The time is rapid ly approaching when regardless of prop erty ownership permits will actually be required before person can start an outdoor fire, except those confined within incinerators or other proper receptacles. And it may be good thing, too.

Rev. John J. Fitzgerald

The death of the Rev. John J. Fitz- gerald of the Church of St. John the Baptist, New Haven, Sunday, while par ticipating in Mothers Day Communion breakfast of the Holy Name Society Of his parish was shock to the diocese or Connecticut. It was more than shock, too; it was profound loss. Father Fltz- gerald had served in many parishes; had held number of pastorates. He left an indelible imprint on all of them. Wherever he served there will always be a lasting memory of him.
 It was his task and he accepted it will ingly, to expand the physical properties of the parishes in which he served so diligently and religiouslv When he came to an old and well-established parish like the Sacred Heart church of this city with it's school and convent and rectory Tn addition to the church proper, it might seem that he had no further work to do, but administer his parish wisely. Father Fitzgerald was not that type of a man, though. He was far-seeing, and so in his wisdom and foresight he planned and executed the first Catholic girls high school in the diocese of Connecticut.
 At his New Haven pastorate he was in the midst of a building program, too. And so it was everywhere he served. He came to be known and regarded in the diocese as "the builder. May it be said to his everlasting credit that he builded on solid foundations always. An indefatigable worker he, nevertheless, was very much the priest and disciple of God. May his energy and his priestly demeanor be passed on to others in Connecticut that they may continue the good work where he left off,
