  Alabama Second of Southern Teams to Invade Eastern GridironS and Carry Off the Victory-CaSe Unable to Gain Cleveland, O., November 27. Special )-Uncovering an ex- ceptionally brilliant attack in the second half, the University of Alabama eleven to d a y triumphed over Case, 40 to 0, upon Van Horn field, thus roll ing up five more points on the Scientists than Michigan did earlier in the season. Only a small crowd was present, the majority of the football enthusiasts of Cleveland evidently preferrng to attend the game at Dunn Field, which was for the scholastic championship of the city.
