MB ST PI HIS ESFI S Rest Players Chief Occupa tion of Tide With "Skull Practice" CATS BEAT INDIA i I.OCAL HOOf TKAIt DEFEATS CTIEMAWA IX PAST AMK PASADENA. Cal., Deo. 29 (AP) Oval leather objects, be lieved by observers to be footballs, which all morning spiralled beau tifully high abore the rim of Rose Bowl, brought Rasps of astonish ment from sports writers gathered outside the locked gates of the arroyo gridiron here where-, tfct Crimson Tide from Alabam' lashed the turf in practice for the east; west clash with Stanford New Years Day. "We don't know what they do nhen they've get the leather on the ground but those g'uys from Dixie sure ean boot that bail." chorused the would-be practice critics-. Coach Wallace Wade, who pilots the tide, is taking no chances on his pet plays becoming public property. Big policemen system atically clean out the bleachers and brush off the knothole fans from the fence on the south end l-efore Wade and his outfit flows onto the green. (lordon "Sherlock" Holmes was cpain on the crest of the tide dur ing the morning when the iowl was turned over to the Alabam ans. Holmes' appendix apparently had subsided completely after an outburst at El Paso. Texas, on ti e wsy west, and there were n-any smilea of confidence when he came out in hia football suit. Holmes is rntod as one of the country's best pivot men and is counted on to hold down the plunging ducks from Stanford. Wade has decreed that no more sightseeing or social events shall be indulged in by the tide until after the big game. Rest, he pays, will be their chief occupation with a generous amount of "skull prac tice" while they are resting. "Pop" Warner, veteran pilot of the Palo Alto champions, changed the hue of the picture in the after noon with a flock of red shirted gridiron warriors. So far Stan ford has had no scrimmage, con fining practice to signal drills, setting-up exercises and kicking goals from various angles.
