Stars of Game For Alabama, Bartlett was the bright particular star. It was Bart lett on end runs, Bartlett on off tackle bucks, Bartlett’s trusty toe when punts were necessary and finally Bartlett, when the final three points were rung up. Verify. verify, it was Bartlett’s afternoon. Y O perhaps one of the hardest plunging backs ever seen in the south, shone the. brightest. Little Dan Post, suh~ -stituting for Randall made several nice runs and was also used as a 2, decoy in throwing forward passes, several of which would have been Y for very long gains had the receivers held on to them. ‘ Best Team Won “a. k Both teams were badly crippled and no alibi can be offered by either on that score. It was clean ly fought battle and to the 11,000 fans present. every one left the bowl with the impression that the best team had truly won. Alabamas defense appeared the strongest in the fourth period when Georgia threatened 10 snatch the game away from the loss column by the aerial attack, but ‘Bama line smeared the plays.
