Crimson Tide Has Mascot in George H. ‘Mike’ Denny, Grid-Loving Head Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dec. 23.—(7)— H. ‘Mike" Denny, football- loving president of the University of Alabama, ic the traditional “gridiron yane” of Crimson Tide football. When “Mike,” as he is fondly called by hundreds of students and alumni, is bowled over by the football team in scrimmage, the Crimson Tide is due ~for a great season. When “Mike” fails to make this personal sacrifice, the success of the Tide is not so certain. ‘This tradition was born in 1919, as Alabama began to emerge from south- ern football obscurity, under Coach Xen Scott. Then called the “Thin Red Line,” Alabama started the sea- son in great style with four im- pressive victories. But on October 27 they lost to Vanderbilt 16 to 12 after leading until the last five minutes. Things looked blue with Sewanee, Alabama's oldest rival, scheduled to battle the Tide on November 3 in Birmingham. But then “Mike” start- ed_mascoting for the Crimson Tide. One afternoon just prior to the Se- wanee game President Denny walked into a charging Alabama backfield. Heavy figures bowled him over and the big foot of Riggs Stephenson, star fullback and later big league ball player, drove the president's glasses into the turf. Alabama won gthe next Saturday from Sewanee to 0, the heaviest victory ever scored on the Mountain Tiger by the Tide. This bred the tradition, which gained greater weight when Alabama defeated Pennsylvania 9 to 7 in 1922, just three days after Dr. Denny had been run down in a practice scrim- mage. Again in 1924 the president was trampled in practice. Alabama won the conference championship that year. Both in 1925 and 1926, when the Tide won titles and played at the Tournament of Roses, Dr. Denny received a dusting off in scrimmage. In 1927, Coach Wade's first losing year at Alabama, Dr. Denny was un- ‘scathed throughout the season. WALLY ROETTGER IS “HAGER FOR OPENING Bloomington, Ill, Dec. 22.—(P)— Wallie Roettger, star St. Louis Card- inal outfielder who was forced out of the game last July 4, is raring for the; call to the Red Bird's training camp at Avon Park, Fla. When Roettger broke his leg, many predicted he was through with base- ball and that he would never be as fleet. The leg has healed complete- ly, however, and surgeons say his speed will not be affected. GOLDEN TORNADO ON WAY T0 WEST COAST Del Rio, Tex. Dec, 22—()— Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado, Dixie’s hope to dispel the gridiron domination of the Pacific coast traveled across the broad sun-baked expanse or southwest Texas today en route west to meet the University of California in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day. The all victorious southern confer- ence eleven was due in El Paso at :30 p. m., today after a 24-hour jour- ey across the Lone Star State. ‘DARTMOUTH TACKLE TO WRESTLE LEWIS Boston, Mass., Dec. 22.—Ed (Steangler) Lewis, world’s wrestling champion, will meet Gus Sonnen- berg, former Dartmouth tackle, here Jan. 4. Lewis beat Sonnenberg here a year ago. The former Dartmouth player, who since he graduated has also starred as a pro player, made a rush at the start, tackled Lewis, hurled dim to the mat and won a fall. In the second fall Sonnenberg, | making another rush missed when | Lewis sidestepped. Sonnenberg lunged clear through the ropes and landed | on his head on the cement floor and | was badly hurt.

The greatest reception accorded President-Elect Herbert Hoover anywhere on his tour came at Lima, Peru, where 100,000 persons lined the streets to shout “Viva!” as the procession passed to the American embassy and the presidential palacc. Here you see the carriage in which the American visitor and the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Relations entered Lima on the way from the port of Callao, where the U. 8. S. Maryland docked.

The Astrolabe was an instrument used by ancient astrologers and scientists, by the former for showing the position of the stars. MEANWELL WORKING BADGER FIVE HARD Madison, Wis., Dec. 22.—The Wis- consin basketball squad will enjoy a week's recess between their two early preliminary games and the start of @ strenuous conference schedule. The Badgers, victorious over Franklin and Pittsburgh, returned to Madison last Saturday night with a 34 to 24 win from the champion Panthers. Although the Wisconsin student body had dispersed for the Christmas ; holidays, “Doc” Meanwell decided to utilize four days in intensive practice before dismissing his cagers with or- ders to return on Dec. 26. Wisconsin must play two more non- conference contests between Christ- mas and New Year's. Then they have but a few days to polish their attack and defense for the initial Big Ten encounter with Minnesota aboard. Lombard college, Little Nine- teen school from Galesburg, Ill., will appear here Dec. 29, while Carleton of Northfield, Minn., will play a New Year's attraction. Both of these schools play a high caliber of ball and will afford a fair test for the Card sharp shooters prior to embarking upon a Big Ten sched- ule which includes Purdue, Indiana, Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago and Minnesota. Cincinnati.—(#)—Jake May, Cincin- nati southpaw, pitched only one full game in 1928 and that was a shutout victory over the Giants in June. Ill- ness and a sore arm kept him out of ‘action.

Coach Leonard McMahon used his reserves throughout the Flasher game. Gussner's Lions showed little of the Polish of last year. Play opened fast in the feature bill with the Braves blowing short tosses under the hoop. The Braves’ defens¢ was bombarded. Don Arthur played a hard driving game under the net and his eight goals gave him scoring honors. Lloyd McDonald, veteran forward, played his usual strong floor game. With the count 20-3 at intermission, the Braves found little to.stop them.: In-the last ‘three minutes’ of play Mandan dropped in four goals and Linton’s defense men were drawn up to leave aclear field. Gillespie and Wolverton led Linton. The Flasher-Mandan clash found Coach McMahan getting a fair esti- mate on his Papoose squad for the jyear. He used 13 men and though Flasher put up a gallant battle, the Mandan reserves jumped off to a 10-0 lead the first period. Coach Gerald Rust’s men played their best ball in the next two frames, with the count 10-3 at the half. Captain Moorhead played a strong floor game but had no luck on his shots. Goodreaux, center, was Flasher's other star. Frank Heidt, brother of George, of local athletic fame, turned in a neat performance. L. Dietruch led the reserves in scor- ing, however.
