October 2o.-Last M Winter in California Frank “ Thomas of Alabama admitted a his team was not looking at that time in the general direction of any big bowl game. 1T may be differ ent this next Fall’‘-meaning the present era-Thomas said: II think we’ll be about ready then to get the cid Crimson Tide rolling once more” Thomas apparently knew something, Any team that can move into Knox vile and win from Bob Neyland’s Ten f1essee outfit has to have its share of stuff Alabama has been poison to West Coast foot ball for many years. Its last invasion featured the great passing attack of Howell to Hutson against an all-star Stanford team with such stars as Grayson. Hamilton, Topping. Moscrip, Galloway, Reynolds and still others who happened to be among the country’s best. Alabamas three leading opponents from now on include Tulane.
