  ALABAMA SCORES . LONE TOUCHDOWN AND BEATS TULANE Stickney Bucks Tulane Line for Only Score of Contest. Game Hard Fought New Orleans, November 2.-(Special.) J. Tulane fell for the Alabama shift, sort of delayed end run, in the second quar- ter of today’s game. That put the ball two yards from the goal and on three smashes through the line it was carried over, Stickney making the topchdown Moody kicked goal after the touchdown. bringing the total to points for Ala bama. That was the only score of the game. It was a brilliant battle with Alabama working the ball down the field in jiffy, Long missing an easy drop kick from the 20 yard line. Then Tulane ral- lied and tore through the visitors at will, only to lose the ball on a tumble. Ala bama wormed the oval back toward the goal line when Tulane braced It was third down and 10 yards to gain, and Long was preparing for another attempt at field goal when the quarter ended. On the first play of the next quarter the Alabama interference went around Tu- lanes right end. Then Moody passed the ball to Stickney. who circled Arreidell who was playing defensive left end for Tulane, and was downed on the two yard line after a 90 yard sprint. Thereafter Alabama was content to play waiting game, winning with the touchdown already made.
