GRID TRIUMPH

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Nov. 3d.
U.D Alabama flashed consistent
power, abetted by an All Ameri-
can performance by slim Harry
Gllmer, to humiliate favored Miss
iSSlppi State "a to 7 before a home
coming crowd of 5000 today.
The fast Alabama line tore into
the heavier Mississippi State for
ward wall and cut it to pieces for
a fleet of hard driving backs who
hadn't heard of the Maroons power
full defensive team.
Hairdine passing by the 16o-
pound Gilmer set up Alabama's old
fashioned field goal by little Hugh
Morrow and two other touchdowns.
