  ute Clean Alabama Checks Kentucky Minnesota Joed BY Iona TIDE WASHES OVER WILDCATS, “a TO IS PatChed-Up Tony Holm Runs Amuck to Score Three Times for VictorS. BY the Associated Press. n a ONTGOMERY, Ala, November NH “a lame ana ailing fullback N old Tony Holm, the Alabama 4 / plunger-toSsed away his crutches today and literally ran Kentucky out of the Southern confer ence championship. Bandaged from his belt up, tapped from his waist down and reeking with linaments and lotions, Holm scored three of the four touchdowns Alabama collected to decisively trim the Wildcats “a to Is. Holm was the works. He passed, rammed the line, kicked, blocked, ran amuck down the length of the field while the Wildcats stared pop-eyed. While the Crimson Tide rolled in to and last quarters, Kentucky, badly crippled without ‘Shipwreck” Kelly, its brilliant sophomore back, shot its bolt in the opening minutes and from then on was stopped cold. Selling the opening kickoff behind his own goal line, Holm weaved his way SO yards down the field through the the KensgEky 15-yard line. Line plays advanced it to the 2-yard stripe, but the Kentucky line held and Alabama surrendered the ball on downs. Epidemic Of Scoring. The first quarter saw an epidemic of touchdowns. Alabama started in when Campbell tipped a 12-yard overhead to Suther who went over for the score. Kentucky evened things when Richards intercepted a pass and dashed 48 yards to Alabama’s 8.yard stripe. Spicer took the ball over, A blocked punt, which rolled behind the goal line with Wildcat on top Of it, netted seven points and sent Ken lucky into the lead, but Alabama came within one point of tying the score by staging a 58-yard march from its AZ yard line just before the quarter ended Holm took it across for Alabama’s second touchdown. Little action marked the second and third quarters, but in the fourth the tide broke loose again and added two more tallies. Holm climaxed q march down the field from the Alabama 30-yard line with 1o-yard gallop around right end for q score and late in the period he registered his third touchdown. Alabama had the ball on the Ken lucky 15-yard line, Suther and Holm went through the center of the line for 10 and 5 yards each. There was something wrong with the Alabama kicking department, however, and tries for all four points failed.
