Texas Declines
COlOradO's Peak

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, Jan. s.-Pikes Peak.
- 14,109-foot mountain won by
Texas Gov. James v. Alfred from
Gov. Teller Ammons Saturday, will
not be moved.
Ammons said today upon his re-
turn from Dallas, where he lost the
mountain to Alfred when Rice won
the Cotton Bowl football game from
Colorado, that under compromise
the Peak would be left in Colorado,
where Texans could come to see it.
Jimmy thought he would have a
little trouble moving it," Ammons
said, land I told him it would be
all right to leave it in Colorado if
he would agree to let people Of
other States visit it,"

California and Alabama.

HAVEN'T seen team this fall that
had five such men as Chapman,
Botarri, Meek, Schwartz and Herwig-
all on one squad. California would
have had q terrific time scoring on
Pittsburgh-and Pitt would have had
Just about as much trouble sending
Goldberg and others through Meek,
Chapman and company.
This last Rose Bowl affair between
Alabama and California was an odd
sort of contest Alabama was clearly
outplayed % outmanned - well behind
In all physical ways.
Alabama fumbled four times. Two
Of these fumbles cost Alabama sound
touchdown chances on CALIFORNIA; S
Z and yard line.
Two other fumbles gave California
her start for the two scoring drives.
Alabama's end play was poor.
California had much the better ends
In Schwartz. Dolman and others
much the better backheld-a wide
margin in physical power-harder,
surer blocking-harder, deadlier tack
ling, every bit as much urge to win
and, yet If Alabama had handled the
ball as well as California did, it might
easily have been anybody's game.
Part of Alabama's fumbling was due
to California's rugged, almost savage,
tackling. The men from Dixie were
hit harder than any opponent had
nailed them all year.
When 230-pound Johnny Meek-not
2l0 pounds-puts on a block or a
tackle, you know that something in
the way of an avalanche has arrived
The tip-of came on the first play
Of the game. Meek took the kickoff

The Alabama tackler bounded back or

Alabama entry dived into Mr.. Meek
with complete Southern abandon. He
also bounced back and lay stretched
out. At this point, three Alabama
entries converged on Meek and finally
hauled him to the earth, after the

ing.
Running against big Meek, Chap
man, Herwig Anderson and Botarri
would have been another proposition.
No ball-carrying team is going to run
roughshod over California, with this
supporting cast protecting only fair
line.
California was not called upon to
face a good passing attack, for young
Mosely lost his timing badly and his
passing was poor in this game-in-
cluding both distance and direction.
It was just sophomore off-day-
something to be expected and not
criticized.
CALIFORNIA; passing attack was no
better. But Pitt has had no passing
attack that gave any serious trouble
and Fordham's air-route total hasn t
been any too hot.
Forward passing has been one Of
the best scoring and the most spec
tacular features of 1887 football-and
yet three of the leading teams have
shown little in this department., COM

his place among the comparatively

TINE Vests return to power in

around skill in the Cotton
Bowl, Rices presentation of a crop Of
sensational sophomores and banner
crowds at Pasadena and New Orleans
were the outstanding features of 1885
bowl engagements.
California's methodical moving down
of Alabama undoubtedly enhanced the
waning prestige of coast football in
intersectional combat. Not since 1888.
when Southern Californa slaughtered
Pittsburgh, had Western team won
by two touchdowns.
Granted the Crimson Tide was not
up to the teams of the John Mac
Brown or Dixie Howell eras, the
Golden Bears turned in a workman
like job at Pasadena. AS in the regular
season, the California line outcharged
and outmaneuvered its opponents
and its backs did a notable job of
blocking with Vic Bottari running un-
hampered to two scores and a 1870
victory.
'Bama, Baked in Air, Helpless.
CHIEF surprise from the California
side was the Bears work against
the Alabama aerial. The 'Bamans
completed only four forward passes
and the Bears intercepted the same
number. Stalemated in the air, their
favorite zone Of attack, the invaders
were helpless against their bigger,
stronger opponents when they got In
pay dirt.
Whizzer White, the second Rocky
Mountain Conference player to make
the an-America, emerged from Colo
radios defeat by Rice in Dallas Cotton
Bowl with new glory. The elusive
Whizzer led the drive for the first
touchdown and passed for the score,
and then ran So yards for another
score.
It wasn't enough. The sophomores,
mainly Ernie Lain and Ollie Cordill,
two backs. set the Rice offensive NOV
ing and the Owls pounded out four
touchdowns and the staggering total
of 422 yards gained, overland and in
the air. When it ended Rice was on
top, % to IA, but the scholarly White
was the player of the hour.

CALIFORNIA; s 21-to-12 win from Tulane.
Not only did California relieve this
situation for the coasts defenders
Saturday, but the Bears salved a few
of their own rose tournament wounds
including that painful 8-to-7 defeat
by Georgia tech in 1929. Californias
record in the classic now Is two wins,
a defeat and tie.
Coach Frank Thomas of the Grim

nutshell when he said:
California didn't have many plays
but considering the deadly precision
with which they were executed the
Bear formations were ample"
Drives OF 63 and At yards brought
the California touchdowns, with Viz
Bottari scoring each time on slant

7 OS ANGELES. Jan. J.-"How
does California compare with
Pittsburgh and Fordham?" In
- the wake of the Alabama game,
this query has been tossed in the gen.
eral direction of your correspondent
from almost every angle that tosser
can use.
In the first place, I don't think
Alabama would have anything like an
even chance against Pittsburgh or
Fordham. The Crimson Tide lacks
power. In the second place, should
say that California would be at least
an even bet against either Pittsburgh
or Fordham.
Fordham has the better line-Cali-
fornia the better backfield-and Pitts
burgh the bulge in squad man power.
All three have fine ends. None of the
three teams has a forward passing
attack to cheer about.
Bottari probably is the best passer
on the three squads named. but the
Bears brilliant ball carrier is no part
Of a Luckman, Washington. Frank,
Lain or Dave O'Brien, to mention only
few.

Pittsburgh would be close to score
less draw. Both teams would have

What about comparable construc-

British houses? They are both reas-
onably good, Mr.. Mason says, although
1t is common in both countries for
many people to criticize what all spec
ulattve builders do as "jerry-built."

some one says a word-or a good many

England" declares Mr.. Mason. THE
average American builder is giving far
greater value for the money than the
British builder.
Wage Level a Factor.
ITO illustrate, an average price for
. low-cost speculative house in Eng
land Is 600 pounds, or about $4,000.
For the British worker that $1,000
represents greater outlay than $500
for comparable American worker
since the British wage level is about
half the American. But a $500
house built by an American builder
would be incomparably better equipped
and more comfortable and livable.'
Comparing typical $500 specula-
tive house on Long Island with q
$4,000 speculative house in a London
suburb, Mr.. Mason points out that
the first great difference is that the
British homes are erected in closely
built rows of either two or four
family houses or solid row houses. He
lists other important features in
which the British houses are deficient
as:
/. No central heat. The only heat
Is provided by two or three fire
places equipped with small flues.
Chimneys are much lighter, flues are
smaller and are not lined with terra

No Hardwood Floors.

The English speculative houses are
reasonably well built, with solid brick
or cavity-type walls, tile or slate roofs,
ample foundations. The difference in
climate makes possible practices that
could not be approved in the northern
part Of this country, such as plastering
directly upon outside brick walls, run
ming the foundations down only two
feet and omitting the Easements.
Another myth" runctured by Mr..
Mason Is that all British houses are
