PASADENA. Oil., Jan. 3. (AP)
Alabama's aerial circus shook the
dust of California off Its feat today
and headed home, leaving In Its wake
te greatest chapter of 30 years of
none tournament football history.
For yesterday before a record crowd
of 85,000 astonished spectators the
Orlmson Tide rolled again, lnundat
Ing a powerful Stanford Eleven 39 to
18.
On the crest of the tide as It surg
ed through the classic Rose Bowl
rode Millard (Dlxls) Howell, as great
a pacing, punting, running back as
ever laid hand on pigskin In this
annual New Year's day Intersect! on al
series.
Honell Star of Players
There were many In that multi
tude who haven't missed a gams In
the twenty year span, yet few who
could parade In their memory the
starts of yesteryears Pollard of
Brown, Huntington of Oregon, Casey,
Harvard, Muller, California, Kopf,
Washington and Jefferson, Novers,
Stanford, Layden. Notre Dame, Hu
bert, Alabama, Shaver, Southern Cal
ifornia and Zimmerman, Tulane,
without listing Howell at the top.
Like the crescendo of a groat or
chestra he brought his play to a cli
max. First he booted long, high sptr
allng punts. Then he threw passes..
He started out with short ones; then
wide and finally far reaching tosses
like his punts. And then, like the
. rumble of drums, the clatter of cym
bals and the Mare of brass, he reach
ed the heights with a sensational 07
yaid run.
The cheering was deafoning when
he finally raced off the field. And as
the Stanford band serenaned 'Bam
a'a stands with "Ulxle - after the end
had come and the shadows
shrouded the stadium, the excitement-exhausted
tnousands heard In
the notes a personal message to Dlx
ls Howell.
Passes Beat Power
It was a victory of pusses over pow
er as Alabama added another page
to Its record of defeatless Rose Bowl
Play.
There wasn't a dull moment from
the time Bobby Grayson crashed over
In the first period after Stanford had
turned on Its -power attack to the
closing quarter when Howell fired
the last of his atuaslngly arc""?
passes Into the arms of Don Huston
for 46 yards and the red regiment's
flnai touchdown.
The two teams had battled along
on a fairly even basis until late In
the first atansa, although Coach
Claude (Tiny) Thornh Ill's Indians
held the edge.
Joe Demyanovloh, 'Bama fullback,
fumbled the ball on his 37-yard line
and' the alert Keith Topping recover
ed for the Tribesmen. Orayson, with
all his speed and power, drove to the
30. He took the ball a second time
and didn't stop until Howell pulled
him down on the 13. Robert (Bones)
Hamilton, on a reverse, raced around
right end to the 5. Hrhlnd massed
Interference arayson ptished to the
one foot line and dove over on the
next play.
'Bama Worried
It waa a moment of gloom on the
'Bama bench. The tide never before
In a season of nine triumphs had
found Itself behind and Coach Frank
Thomas was worried. Could It come
back? The pack stands asked the
same question.
Howell and Huston and their team
mates answerrd n with such dis
patch In less than fifteen minutes
of play they had picked up 33 points.
The tide started surging shortly
after the second period opened. How
ell returned Frank Alustlea's punt 34
yards. Then ha started sharpshootlng.
Ke threw a ahort pass to Huston who
ran to the Stanford 30 before he was
stopped. Anothrr throw to Jim An
gellch put the bsll on the 11. He
threw a third to Paul Bryant who
was spilled on the 0.
And Howell hit left guard, slid off
one tnrklrr scoring standing up. But
Riley smith missed the sick for
point where Monk Moscrlp hsd not
failed so Alnbsms still waa behind,
net Ten Points u1ck
Before Stanford could get Its hands
on the ball again for carrying pur
poses the tide had added ten more
points. Bob Reynolds of Stanford
kicked off over the goal line yet In
less time than It takes to tell, Ala
bama was In scoring territory again,
thanks to Howell's passing and run
ning. Stopped short on the 6. Smith went
back to the Stanford 30 and kicked
a field gl. The Indians never were
headed after that. Again Stanford
kicked off with Howell making a 31
yard return to his 39. Angellch added
7 more.
The ellmaxtng run of the encoun
ter followed. Dixie found a hole over
left tackle. He swept through, cut
back, and outran the Ilndlan sec
ondary going 6? yards to score. He
slowed almost to a walk as he near
ed the final chalk line, turned, and
waved a fond adieu to his trailing
opponents.
He waa taken from the game Im
mediately but there was no rest for
the pass-dizzy Indians. Joe Riley
stepped right Into Howell's shoes and
threw a long one to Huston for still
a third touchdown, a M-yard play
Just before the half ended.
Indians Rally
Stanford was not through. On
sheer power from their 35 yard line
the Tribesmen battered their way to
a touchdown shortly after the third
period waa Inaugurated, with Buck
Van Dellen sweeping left end 13 yards
to score after Grayson and Hamilton
had pounded their way there,
The coat wss too great, however,
for the Stanford reds to repeat. Their
energy waa gone, and Howell put the
finishing touches to the game with
his 46-yard pass play to Huston for
the final counter In the fourth.
While the statistics somewhat be
littled 'Bama's triumph they added
to Howell's glory. He ran the ball
117 yards, not counting his return
of punts and klckoffs. He averaged
better than 44 yards on six punts
and threw twelve passes, nine of
which were rompleteti for a pitching
average of .780.
Convincing Record
Against a weak tenm this would
not be convincing, but against Stan
ford, pacific coast champion, un
beaten In ten games. It was a record
to shoot at for great football play
ers of the future.
The game hardly was an example
of an Inadequate pass defense. Coach
Howard Jones of Southern California,
who has been In the football wnrs
for almost 30 y?rs put himself on
record as saying no defense could be
set up against such a cm Unfit Ion as
Howell to Huston.
Stanford made 14 downs to 13 for
for the victors. It piled up 394 yards
st rushing to 187 but the tide pick
ed up 31 (t on Its pastes for a grand
total of 363 to 300 gained by the
westerners.
Orayson was Stanford's leading
ground gainer with 08 yards to his
credit. The Indians made only 5 of
their 33 tosses good for 80 yards.
Alabama started home early to
duy, taking with It a record of three
victories and one tie In the Rose
Bowl. It started out by beating Wash
ington In 1926. The neut year Stan
ford held the tide to a tie. but In
1P31 It trounced Washington state.
Stanford had only one win In five
star's. The Palo Alto team has lost
to Noie Dame, Columbia and Ala
bama. It beat Pittsburgh In the oth
er contest.

BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. (fl A
western victory recorded for the sev
enth time in the 10-yea history of
the east-west football classic, a host
of the nation' leading gridiron stars
turned homeward today from the
scene of their spectacular New Tear's
battle here. .
Playing for the benefit of the
Shrlnera' hospital for crippled chil
dren here, two all-tar squads rep
resenting opposite aides of the Mis
sissippi gave some 65,000 fan a thrill
ing afternoon yesterday before the
final gun announced 10 to 13 vic
tory for the team coached by Orln
"Babe" Holllngbery and Percy Locey.
West Takes Early Lead. ,
In the lead when the game was
leas than two minutes old, the west
erner swept through their rivals so
easily during the first half that fans
settled back to witness the brilliant
half-time band pageant, feeling that
the rout would be continued.
Jim Barber, Ssn Francisco univer
sity tack Iff, provided the winners' first
touchdown when he scooped up Mil
ler Munjas' blocked kick on the third
scrimmage play and ran 33 yard to
the end zone.
A few minutes later, Irvine "Cot
ton" Warburton, University of South
ern Collfornla's fnmed little quarter
back, took Munjaa' punt on the west
38, shot past his lnterferers and con
tinued down the sideline to the sec
ond score, and west led, 13 to 0.
Score on Kluke.
Pouring on the power, the winner
pushed down the field In the second
period for another score, snd. freak
ish a It might have been, It pro
vided the deciding markers. With I
Prank Sobrcro carrying the heavy
load, the west offensive moved up to
the 15-yurd stripe. On the third play
the Santa Clara "bomber" faded over
to the right sideline and flung a 14
yard pass across the field. Intended
for Felix Peanlno, St. Mary' college
end. Pennlno barely touched It as
an eastern back boomed in to break
up the play, and the ball bounced
Into the air. Just then, Cal Clement.

Getting their back away from

PETE AND DEMON
WILL GIVE WILD
SHOW, IS BELIEF
With the approach of Thursday
night' main event wrestling match
between Fete Belcastro, belligerent
Italian, and Red Devil, the mysterious
meanle. local fan are expecting to
see even a wilder exhibition of the
mat game than was afforded when
the two bad boys tugged and twisted
at each other In their first bout, held
here some weeks ago.
During that eventful struggle, in
which Pete emerged the victor by
kicking th big demon out of the
ring, there were only four orthodox
wrestling hold used. Just to give an
Idea of the type of bone-bending em
ployed by the two.
It 1 expected that much the same
type of performance will be staged
Thursday night, but old-time follow
ers of the grunt and grimace bellevo
that both participant will be In
much more revengeful frame of mind
Red Devil for the drop-kick he ;e-
oelved that sent him catapulting Into
the tnird row of ringside seats, and
Belcastro for the drubbing he received
during the first portion of the match.
For the semi-final event. Promoter
LI Hard has continued successfully his
quest for new material by signing
Hal Rum berg, 325-pound grappler
from Spokane, who will meet Joe
Hubka, former University of Nebraska
athlete. This bout promises an er
hlbitlon of more scientific grappling
than the main event, but both wres
tlers are tough hombres when the
occasion demands, nubka made hi
flrat appearance here last week
against the highly-touted Tony Cata
lano of Italy, winning two out of
three fall.

HONOLULU. Jan. 2. ( AP) The
University of California's holiday
football Invasion of the Hawaiian
Islands turned out to bo a nice sight
seeing trip, but In a gridiron way,
the Golden Bears have nothing to

sity of Hawaii, 14-0, after dropping
the Christmas game to the Honolulu
town team, 36-13.
