During! 935 Rose Bo vl Nciwly-Hired Idaho Football Coach Snared Nation's Fancy I With His Gridiron Feats Against Stanford At Pasadena Br HALE SCARBROUGH , Selection of Millard (Dixie) Howell as head football coach at the University 'of Idaho brings to the Pacific Coast conference a man with an almost legendary football reputation back in the Southland, and oddly enough Howell's reputation to a great measure was earned right hero on the coast in the Rose Bowl, to be exact. Remember back to January 1, 1935. Stanford, with AU-American Bobby Grayson, had won the Pacific Coast conference title hands down, and Alabama had done the same thing in the Southeastern. The two were to meet at Pasadena for what in those days was considered by one and all s tantamount to the national championship. Stanford was the popular favorite and Grayson just about the brightest gridiron luminary In the country, notwithstanding the fact that Howell ai.d his pass- miHiinn toRmmale. Don Hutson had also hcen named to most All-Amcrican selections. Qrayson started living up to Ms Same early that afternoon at )'iidena. In the first quarter he -;,r!'ied the pigskin over from a 'Too, out for a touchdown after it t.eadv dowmicld pounding oc the Alabama line. Jim moscnp, Stanford end, converted and the Indians led. 7-0. In the second quarter the Howell stock began to rise. Dixie tosd passes to Hutson on one end and Bear Bryant on the other until he had the ball on the Indian 5. then Jogged over tackle for his first score. Next series of plays again saw Hutson tossing passes for a 70 yard gain to the 5, and his right halfback put the Alabamians in the lead by booting an angle shot field goal. By this time the Tribe was getting worried, but Dixie How ell really lowered Stanford's morale the next time he got his hands on the ball. He ran 66 yards around end for a touch down. ' ... -.- Aii.tols was going on in the second quarter a 15-minute period which must have been a iiightmare for the Indians. Howell left the game for a rest after his 66-yard gallop, and bis substitute, Joe Smith by name, added insult to injury. Smith threw a touchdown pass to Don Hutson good for 54 yards and that finished off the quarter with Alabama leading 22 to 7. Bobby Grayson, who is now Portland sportscaster and businessman, pulled the In- . dians back into the game in the third -period by hacking way on short gains down to the Alabama 12, then handed off a reverse to Elio Van Del len for the Tribe's final score. Up to that point, the Howell-to-Hutson combination had not resulted in a score, but in the fourth period Dixie hit Don with a 39-yard heave and Hutson ran 20 more yards into the end zone. Riley Smith kicked the extra point and that was the game, Alabama 29, Stanford 13. Dixie Howell tossed 12 of Ala bama's 13 passes in that game and completed 10. Joe Riley threw the other one and it was good for a touchdown. " After the Rose Bowl eame Howell sort of slipped out of the headlines. He played a while for the Washington Redskins,' coached at University of Mexico, i Loyola of New Orleans and Ari-1 zona State teachers college, did physical education work in the, navy and after the war turned up i at Alabama again, helping out I his old coach, Frank Thomas. I Almost anything Dixie does at Idaho will be good he takes : over just about as bad a football : situation as can exist in a major gridiron conference. Howell: would probably like to put one of his teams into the Rose Bowl, but if he fails he has one con solation: Fifteen coaches at Moscow be fore him also failed.

Feb. 28 UP) The senate passed 17 to 13 yesterday and sent to the house a bill to permit operators of horse racing meets to hold special meets ex clusively for harness racing.

I NIL Ous Lesncvich (above) defends his crown acainst Billy For at Madison Squire Garden tonight. This is the first light-heavyweight title match to take place in America since 1941. Fox lias perhaps the most imposing record ever carried into the ring by a challenger. Although somewhat short on boxing finesse, sooner or later he seems to get in the finishing hay maker. Every one of the 43 foes he has tackled in his pro career has been knocked stiff er than a frozen mackerel. Stolid, oak-legged Gus, however, has a noble right cross and a chunk ing, thudding left that he doesn't . carry around just for sparring. In the only defense of his crown since being discharged from the service, he kayoed British Empire Champion Freddie Mills in England last May.
