BYRD. LABAMA has the best foot A ball team in the United States, according to well defined opinion in the far South, opinion based on concep- tions of gridiron strength as seen throughout the Middle West and North, as well as the South. And sentiment in that section generally and strongly favors the Crimson tide to beat Washington State College at Pasadena in the Tournament of Roses on New Year day. Not only has Alabama the strongest team, according to opinions of those in position to judge, but it has two play- ers who stand out among the stars— Suther, at halfback, and Sington, at guard—and also possesses manpower as great as that of any other eleven. The writer has not seen Alabama's team, but the last week end talked to repre- sentatives of two schools that have met Alabama and their opinions did not vary in the least.

Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 1.—Notre Dame's Rough Riders today faced a long, long journey, . at the end of which les their last—and probably toughest— game of a long, tough campaign. At 3:30 this afternoon, 33 play- ers, Coaches Knute Rockne, Hunk Anderson and Jack Chevigny, were scheduled to leave Chicago for Los Angeles, where Southern California’s formidable Trojans, now apparently at the peak of their power, will be met Staurday. The game will be the final of Notre Dame’s “suicide” schedule of 10 contests against first class opponents, and on its outcome depends Notre Dame’s hope for na- tional gridiron honors and the suc- cessful accomplishment of about the most difficult schedule ever attempt. ed by any team. The Irish emerged from their lone point victory over the Army Satur- day, with only two casualties-—Full- back Larry Mullins and Capt. Tom Conley, end. Mullins, who has been battered until he is somewhat fragile, is expected to be back in Only Two Slightly Hurt in Army Game—Rockne Is Not Certain He Won’t Beat Trojans. in Good Trim condition by Saturday, as is Conley, whose injuries were minor. The squad will stop off at Tucson, Ariz,, early Wednesday-for two days of practice and will not reach Los les until Friday night. They will not be without company and support, for two special trains have been chartered to carry a couple of bands of the more rabid type of Notre Dame enthusiast to the bat- tle ground, one delegation will be headed by State Senator-elect George Maypole. R;‘Dom mm the Coast reveal that the Trojans are expected to win by four touchdowns. Rockne has contradicted this to the extent of saying Notre Dame should lose by not more than two touchdowns, and that he isn't so certain Notre Dame won’t. win. ‘The road has been long for Notre Dame, and may prove to be just a little too long by Saturday, but Rockne is figuring on something more than the foot ball ability and fighting qualities of his men. He belleves that they will rise to super heights to battle for a victory which would mean so much. Notre Dame has not lost a game since 1928, and the Irish wil put up an awful strug- gle before falling at the doorstep of new fame for Notre Dame.

HE return of pre-war foot ball stars such as Belford West of Colgate and Chick Harley of Ohio State, in addition to the sensational rise of a number of smaller college teams such as Centre's “Praying Colonels,” contributed in the post-war year of 1919 to the selection of one of the great All-America elevens of all time. ‘Walter Camp, seasoned by 30 years in knowledge of the game's great and near-great, labeled his choices “the most powerful aggregation of players mthubeenmthezflmm(u-m e Eleven years have not dimmed the luster of this collection.

Centre had yet to crown its fame by beating Harvard, as it did in 1921, but the little Kentucky college team coached by “Uncle Charley” Moran sprang to fame by beating West Virginia, the con- queror of a strong Princeton eleven.
