Alabama and Washington
Hold Private Practice ,in
Rose Bowl On Eve of An

By l'o ul Kimiiicriuun,
AnaocJateU l'rcas HporlH Writer.
PASAD12NA, Cal., lec. 31.
That final touch of preparation
which often make or breaks
gridiron eleven today will 1x given
Washington Stale and Alabama
for tho Hose tournumenl'fl sixteenth
annual InteraocUonu.' football game
tomorrow.
Already trained down to a fine
point, both squado went through
a briof workout owtcrday, their
first in tne JIobo uowi, see no or
tho New Year'B day game
K was the first (thoroughly pri
vate drill either eleven had experi
enced, but. it Is gonerally under
stood that both coaches, "Wallace
Wade, making his final ," appear
ance as gridiron general of Ala
bama, and Orin Jlollingbery of
Washington State, stressed Jn par
ticular their, pasfl plays.
, ". v ' ;Botli IjIiioh Strong. .
'' Both mentors boast strong lines,
through, which few touchdowns
'havo boon punched, thin fall. The
Crimson Tldo earned tho nam of
being a great defenslvo eleven dur
ing tho campaign which carried It
to a tlo for Southern conference
honors. The Cougara won tho un
disputed Pacific Coast title much
in tho same Uylo.
Tho offenslvo tactics of tho op
posing teams have been much the
same, dependent mainly on advanc
ing tho ball by ahoer force The
conclusion is that tho tricks re
maining to bo 'pulled Out of tho
bag are passes lone ones for the!
most pant.
. Continual warmjntr up of passers
and receivers with a few pans -plays
in signal drill by both elevens has
beei: the only Indication that this
will bo tho case
While tho opinion Is that neither
team will bo ablo to gain much
headway by crashing Into the Unci,
It is hardly llkb.iy that either coach
will let the matter rest nt just that
without giving hU ball luggers a
chanco to try their :kjU betwoon
aerial thrusts. ' i
llama Tweaks Tasscfl,
Tho .fact rcuiiiiim Ahat thn, only
touchdowns scored on tho Tide this
year, by TennoMsoo and VunderbiJt,
wero mad possible on pawn's. The
Cougars huvo . been scored on five
times, but thrco of . tlioeo touch
down wore made by. weak oppon
ents who scarcely had a chanco to
win. Tho makes tho two toams
almots a standoff, so far as the
post records Bo.
A victory tomorrow will bo the
second for either Institution In n
Itoso tournament game. With
gsmo time only a day away, neither
coach wa willing to definitely
name a starting lineup. "I'll not
be sure until half a mlnuto before
gumo time," Coach Jlollingbery
said.
Washington Hlato officials said
they expected more than 6f. 000 1
persons to witness tho contest. Tho
ltoao Howl will scat 85,000.
