BY LAWRENCE PERRY. IRMINGHAM, Ala., November 26.~Having seen Alabama in Thanksgiving Day game inst Georgia, and having watched Stanford in action, the writer thinks that the Palo Alta en Is going to have a difficult time scoring against the Dixie outfit at | Pasadena, if., on New Year Da And he believes, also. that the Tusca- loosa machine will have an equally her difficult task in scoring against the Californians, if not more so.

The writer imagines th: something in the way of inter- nce in playing that great end Winslett, in the backfield on attack But the writer has not the slighte fdea that Wade does not know this.

What the writer is trying to v is that the team revealed every evidence | of the best coaching that ex where in the country. Where inter- ference is disorganized chiefly be- canse of the slowness of the backs and where swiftly opened holes close before the ball carriers cut into them | no fault is to be found with the sys- | tem.

Taylor in, Stanford unquestionably will be called upon to meet slants and sweeps in plenty. Is a Great Aggregation. Alabama, for injuries and various reasons, has not had an intact back- field all season, and the coach has had to proceed from Satutday to Satur, day with a makeshift arrangement. This is what showed Thursday. But from now until New Year day he | will have his best men fit. The big score run up by Alabama due in good part to terrific pres- sure applied on the opponent through- out the game on defense and by an ability to strike hard when a score was in sigh Generally speaking, the Alabama team in knowledge of the game, in brawn, in speed and system of play, is on a par with any eleven the writer has seen anywhere this season. All of the best elevens the writer has seen have been the subject of criti- cism because of one flaw or another, and all of them, like Alabama, have been able to win on the basis of de- | fensive pressure, with scores spring- ing indirectly or directly out of this virtue. In a word, Alabama is a great cleven, and when attention is called to such a defect as lack of close co- ordination between backfield and line, the writer is merely mentioning some- thing which if corrected would make of Alabama a still greater team. MAROONrs GET INSIGNIA DESPITE POOR SHOWING CHICAGO, November 26 (#).—Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chi- cago is giving 20 varsity letters to his Maroons, who understood they might not receive monograms this Fall be- cause they lost every Western Confer- ence game. As an additional reward “the old man,” completing his thirty-third year as Chicago coach, is taking 25 of the 1uad to the Army-Navy encounter. | DAWES TO SPLIT TIME BETWEEN RIVAL TEAMS CHICAGO, November 26.—Vice President Charles G.

They will have 28 guests, who will be equally divided between the two boxes. NEW J0B FOR FLAVIN. Jack Flavin, former Georgetown basket ball and foot ball star and who ater * coached the Blue and Gray court squad, has been appointed coach of basket ball at St. Bonaventure College, N.Y.

This was the title-winners' sixth straight victory. They negotiated the entire series with- out the loss of a game. Mercedes Perry captained the Pea- body squad, which included Lillian Strobel, manager; Madge Everett, El- len Jennewine, Edith Lyall, Gertrude Billings, Sylvia Spering, Florence Myer, Alice Owens and Anna Noonan. Maude Parker, director of girls'ac- tivities, will present the new champs with a silver challenge cup, to be held them until the 1927 serles is de- cided. The Section A championship of the Columbia Heights Division League was claimed Wednesday by the Park View tossers, who also played through their schedule without tasting defeat. They blanked Monroe, 14 to 0, in the final clash. Park View will meet the section B winners next week in a final series for the division cup. E. V. Brown is lead- ing in this latter section, and if a vic- tory is brought home Monday from the clash with Morgan, the section title will be theirs. Members of the Park View squad are Betty Story, Madeline Cambery, Ger- trude McDonald, Mary Reid, Mary Beck, Dorothy Jones, Elizabeth For- resta’ and Mary Hoy. At Hood College the official 1926 hockey season was brought to a close last week with the annual Blue and Gray game, in which the Blue team’s winning streak o® three successive years' duration was broken when the Grags triumphed by the score of 4 to 2. Th( game was one of the best ones fought out on Hood's hockey fleld this year; it was marked by fast playing, excellent team and clever stick work. The push pass and lunges were used to special advantage by members of both teams. Helen French, who lives in Wash- Ington during part of her time while at school, was one of the outstanding members of the Blue team'’s defense, her position being that of left fullback. Miss French’s game is outstanding be- “ause of her exceptional ability in mak- ing long, hard shots. She is quick and fricky in her playing and the opponent whom she marks in any game does well to keep the ball for any length of time, for in a flash Miss French is with her and by the clever use of her stick has sent the ball off at a tangent ready to be carried away by a member of her own team. Hockey was first played at Hood in 1902, so that the end of the presént season marks the end of the twenty- fifth year of its presence, as an active sport, in the curriculum of the col- lege. In fact, Hood was the second college in the United States to intro- duce hockey to its students. At the time when Mrs. Constance M, K. Ap- plebee was first bringing hockey to the notice of the various women's col- leges, Hood had it introduced into its % athletic curriculum through the ef- forts of Dr. Apple, president of the college, Apple, after gaining first-hand dge of the game during a trip ngland, brought back what infor- mation he had obtained and soon a group of college girls of that day were seen, in their hoop skirts and bustles, developing hockey, then in its infancy, at the Maryland school.

CHICAGO, November 26.—The Coli- seum, big show place for Winter sports events, soon will be closed to boxing for an indefinite period. Charles R. Hall, president of the Coliseum company, gave the cause of the action as the “disgraceful man- ner” in which the crowd was handled at Tiger Flowers’ fight with Eddie Huffman. A scheduled bout tonight will go on, and the Flowers-Walker fight will be staged in the Coliseum a week hence, but after that no more boxmg TRAPS BUSY TOMORROW Washington Gun Club marksmen will participate in the regular weekly shoot tomorrow at the traps near Benning.

BY A TIE WITH COLGATE “Iron Men” Fail of Victory When Ball Hits Bar on Drop-Kick and Falls Back—Great Finish Gives Penn Deadlock With Cornell. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 26— Most of the warring foot ball forces of the Kast were at peace today with only two unbeaten and untied elevens left to claim the mythical regional champianship. There is a question of supremacy between Holy Cross and Boston Col- lege to be settled tomorrow, but the guns of major forces have been silenced for another year. Lafayette looks through the receding smoke of conflict to view as its only remaining rival, Navy, which will have a final test against’ Army at Chicago. Tie Blow to Bruins.” Brown remains unbeaten, but the ron men” yesterday finally fell from the lofty pinnacle they had occupled with Navy and Lafayette. Colgate tied Brown, 10 to 10. Only by inches, however, did the Bruins fail to finish their campaign with an unbroken string of 10 straight triumphs. With the score tied at 10-10, Mishel's effort to rescue a victory struck the Colgate cross-bar, wavered, and then dropped back to the playing fleld as 30,000 spectators saw history repeated in the deadlock of these two ancient rivals a year ago. Mishel had two other chances to break the draw, but each time his kicks were hurried, and to Colgate fell the honor of stopping one of the most impressive winning marches of the year, a parade which had swept past Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth. The end of Brown's victorious sweep was the smothering of its hitherto effective aerial attack. Only three of the team’s 15 passes were completed, and it was only through a brilliant 69-yard run by Lawrence that the Bruins annexed their lone touchdown. Stealing Brown's thunder, Colgate shot into the sky with a passing of- fensive to tie the score in the closing period Scull Saves Penn Eleven. For the third successive game Paul Scull and his unerring toe saved Penn- sylvania. Outplayed by a smashing Cornell eleven, which piled up 10 pomts as the result of a place-kick by Carey and a touchdown by Molinet, the Quakers were saved in the final quarter by a sensational 65-yard run by Wascolonis and Scull's fleld goal. The final count was 10 to 10. Columbia closed its campaign here in a futile effort to shake the long supremacy of Syracuse, whose bril- liant wingmen, Hanson and Archoska, gallopped over the Polo Grounds to a 19-to-2 victory. The former contrib- uted to two Syracuse touchdowns, making the first on a 20-yard broken fleld run after receiving a long for- ward pass and putting his team in position for another by recovering a blocked punt. Archoska scored the third touchdown after scooping up a Columbia fumble. Concedes a Safety. Syracuse conceded a safety to the Gotham eleven in the third period after holding Columbia for downs on the 1-yard line, Bayley touching down the ball behind his own goal without attempting to punt out of danger. A powerful and varied attack en- abled Washington and Jefferson to crush West Virginia, 13 to 3, while Pittsburgh _scored its fifth straight win over Penn State with tvo bril- liant dashes for touchdowns by Welch in the final quarter. Bezdek’s team outplayed the Panthers in the first three ~ periods, but wilted before Welch's thrusts toward the close, Pittsburgh rolling up a towering total of 24 points to 6 for the Lions. PENN EI.ECTS HAKE. PHILADELPHIA, November 26.— Ed Hake, right tackle on the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania foot ball team, was elected captain of the 1927 team at a meeting of the varsity players after yesterday's game.
