ALABAMA WINS THRILLING GAME Southern Champions Become Ranking Team By Victory Over Washington Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 2. — (United Press) —Alabama University, champions of the south, became one of the ranking football teams of the season with a thrilling victory of 20 to 19 over Washington, Pacific Coast champions, in the Rose Bowl yesterday. A spirited rally in the third period when Uie Washington defense was shattered by a passing, running and bucking attack, gave Alabama three touchdowns and a well defined victory. Washington was weakened in the second period when George Wilson, all-American halfback, was injured and had to be carried from the field. The morale of the team was further low-] ered when Pooley Jfubert, the little Alabama quarterback, threw a world's! record forward pass of 65 yards and I followed with one for 40 yards. The 65 yard pass wiped off the books the 57 yard heave of Brickimtler in 1921 and the 62 yard heave of John Levi, the Haskell Indian star, in 1924. Johnny Brown, Alabama back, led the attack in the third period and scored two touchdowns in rapid succession and the third was scored by Hubert, while Buckler added two points after touchdown.

I Washington looked like a certain winner when the first half ended with a touchdown in each quarter by Cole and Cuttormsen. It was obvious when Alabama came out for the second period that the players had been told to gamble. Hubert, calling the signals, started a wild attack that took Washington by surprise and swept the Pacific Coast champions off their feet. Before they came to earth the game had been lost. , o s—s_s_want Ads Earn—

UriELD goalc JI By MARK M. UPP kJ z Last night was not a highly successful evening for Adams county teams. The Catholic high school quintet came through with a victory in an inter state contest at Fostoria, Ohio, and kept its slate clean, but the Yellow Jackets took a drubbing at Columbia City and the Hartford township Gorillas lost a hard fought game to the Lancaster Bob Cats at Bluffton. Although the score. 11-10, would lead a person to believe that the Catholic high game at Fostoria, Ohio, last night was slow and void of thrills, those who saw the game say that it was plenty interesting. The referee worked up a real sweat in handling the game and there was a good exhibition of first (lass guarding. Tho Yellow Jackets looked like an eighth grade team last night. It sure was an off night for them. They're due to stage a comeback at Bluffton tonight. The boys are anxious to redeem themselves. The Frankfort. State champs bud another close call last night at Lebanon. finally pulling out with a 34-33 victory.. The Case coached crew sure misses Captain Plunkett at forward. If lhe Hartford Gorillas had started out in high in their game with the Bob Cats last night they likely would have won, according to those who saw the game. The Bob Cats piled up a neat lead in the first four minutes which the Gorillas could not overcome. This Fostoria crew which the kcal Catholic high outfit licked lasi night, is not in lhe habit of losing ball games, from all reports wo hear. Last night’s defeat was the first reversal lhe team lias met this season and the first one on tho home floor for two seasons. The Buckeyes will play in this oily on February 21. Buck gets real optimistic in his column. Out. of Bounds. Listen to this: "The Bluffton Tigers must do their stuff against Decatur tomorrow night. That defeat handed the locals by the Yellow Jackets Tuesday night was one of the biggest upsets of the season, but no more will be permitted now for some time. The Tigers have the best outfit of the two and it’s up to them to show that this is the correct dope Saturday flight. Fifteen points is the margin we're giving the TigerSj so play hard from the start, gang.” All aboard for Bluffton.
