a a a DECEMBER 2, 1029 THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER Constructive Fearless Independent SEVEN ALABAMA FAILS TO LET GAME DIM CRIMSONS' FINE RECORD Wade Disappointed Over Loss of Title but Capstone is Loud in Praise of Their Gridiron Mentor; But Three Men Will be Lost From 1923 Team By BEN A. GREEN. UNIVERSITY, Dec. William Wallace Wade la the most disappointed person at the Capstone. Assistante Henry Crisp and Ruse Cohen run him close second with Captain Al Clemens and other members of the varsity squad following in the order of their respective emotionalisms.

Coach Wallace Wade spent Friday afternoon at home to callers and his beautiful little boys who caused smiles where the heartfelt congratuJations of his many friends brougnt only expressions of grim forbearance. Coach Russ Cohen completed his work for the year and set out for his home (in Georgia. Coach 'Hustling Hank" Crisp mounted stairs The and began to superintend the varsity basketball over which he will exert control this winter. One of the many expressions or gratitude to Coach Wade was a very concrete one in a beautiful platinum case watch. This handsome gift was given to the Alabama head coach by the Montgomery, Alabama, alumni in appreciation of Wade's everlasting dillgence and unheralded success for the Crimson Tide of 1928.

The watch bore the Initials W. W. W. on the back cover with an engraved expression of sentiment. The student body at Alabama is not no disappointed.

When the season began even the most sanguine did not think for an undefeated record. The most hopeful rarely dreamed of a success such as the season has proved. Florida broke the back of Alabama's claim to the championship. Yet there one great point in Alabama's favor AS season. The Crimsons have won more worthwhile conference contests than any other member of the 8.

I. C. This fact was self evident when it became apparent that Alabama's Thanksgiving play would practically decide the championship in the minds of all In case of a Crimson victory Plans for 1924. Alabama, next season, does not expect to play a Thanksgiving game. The University of Georgia game will be the last of the season but the time and place for the competition are still undeolded.

It may be held in Alabama territory although efforts are being made to have it in the Cracker State. Alabama should have a wonderful team next year 1f the eligible members of the squad return. But three men are lost through the "time up" and graduation exit. This trio Includes the most important members of the outfit and all are regulars, Captain Al Clemens, W. C.

Baty and Tom Watson departing for the field of citizenship. The backfield will return intact with the exception of Baty. This unfilled halfback place will find any number of excellent men avallable with the higher calibre of reserve material, probably making this department loom even stronger than during the past season. The development of Barnes and Gillis from comparative obscurity and the showing of Brown, Cohen and Salmon former freshmen backs have been the high lights of the season in view of future developments. The line will miss two veteran and truly great ends in Clemens and Newton.

Whittaker and Hudson, the two relief men have obtained sufficient experience this year and will probably step Into regular roles next season. The tackles are all due to return, Buckler entering his second year and Langhorne and Compton playing their fourth and final season. Camp and Jones are ready for two more years at guard while Propst is eligible for another year as a center. A number of promising reserve and substitute men should be on hand with several likely looking graduates, from the freshman team. Wade System.

to 8 p. Dexter Ave. Over Goodform Shop the year has been a system, the Wade system, which began with football fundamentals and reached the high point of perfect interference against Goorgia, was thoroughly grafted Into Alebama's football material this year. In succeeding seasons this rich brand of gridiron output should bring forth even hotter ratings than for the recent season which many regard as the best in Alabama's history. The Crimsons played a harder schedule and made better showing than in any previous year of her gridiron life.

Figures and records prove this conclusively, Alabama's squad and conches gave their all to make the season a success. No. Alabama varsity has applied AB much time and exertion in carrying out at football schedule as the 1923 aggregation. With three-hour session on the field and a full hour of skull work five nights a week, Wade taught Alabama players twice as much football as is normally instructed to the candidates. In picking the stars of Alabama's season one faces a very difficult task.

Captain Clemens and Newton were all that could be desired as ends. Ben Compton's placement work began to border upon perfection while. Buckler and Langhorne were excellent defen give tacklers. Buckler is a star before emerging from his budding year. Jones and Camp are probably the most promising guard combination of youngsters in the south.

"Shorty" Propst is the Capstone choice for allsouthern center and probably the pick of the experts Grant Gillis rose to sublime heights after in uniform several weeks late. "Pooley" Hubert proved probably the most essential and dominating figure on the team. His play for the month of November was truly superhuman. "Lovely" Barnes rose to varsity berth through a practice game with the freshmen. It will take no such affair to bring him out next year.

W. C. Baty will be lost and in him Alabama will part with her greatest backfleld mainstay on the defense for the past three years. Allen MacCartee is a man with potentialities yet not at their height, although his performances have been excellent. Cohen, Brown and McClintock have proved Important factors In almost every game.

Whittakes, reserve end and interference back has proved one of the more important cogs of the eleven man machine. Dothan High Downs Covington County 13-0 FLORALA, Dec. High defeated the highly-rated CovIngton County High eleven here by the score of 18 to' 0, The same was played on a wet field and was slowed up to some extent. The Dothan team outplayed Covington county lads for sixty minutes, not allowing their heavier opponents a single first down in the first half. The work of Brown and Saliba stood out for Dothan, while Watson and Howell turned in a good game for the locals.

Wisconsin Athlete is Reinstated by Board CHICAGO, Dec. -E. C. Gerber, star tackle of the University of Wisconsin football team, who was disqualified just before the Illinois game on charges of professionalism, was re-instated today by a vote of the Big Ten conference faculty representatives.

CENTENARY ANNIVERSARY OF MONROE DOCTRINE CONTINUED (Continued from Page One) "There is no use denying the tact that the recent Pan-American conference in Santiago served in a marked way to Increase distrust and hostility because of this insistence on the part of the United States that It could not permit the formulaion of the Monroe doctrine as a Pan-American doctrine to which all of these nations could cheerfully subscribe on a basis of mutual equality and friendly confidence. MakIng due allowance for the natural courtesy and forbearance of LatinAmericans in their official comments on this subject we should recognize that they cannot understand and that they keenly resent this unyielding defiant attitude of the United States. The results of this policy have been lamentable. The possibility of a genuine understanding and sympathy with these nations is becoming Increasingly Stating that the "relations of the United States with the other nations of his hemisphere are not regulated by the Monroe doctrine, Prof.

Brown said that these relations "certainly are affected by our Interpretation of the doctrine as in the? case of Santo Domingo or of Mexico. But the policy, for example, of withholding recognition of new governments for diplomatalo purposes nas no proper relation to the Monroe doctrine. It is rather a most unfortunate instance of the offensivenesses of can policy to the peoples of the other American nations, and it has been productive of unhappy results. "The truth is that in spite of obvious difficulties of a diplomatic nature fo which the United States is not entir ly responsible, its relations with these countries need a fresh orientatinn and an Invigorating spirit of broad generous statesmanship. The menace of Europe in attempting to draw them into Its political system and of vitiating the Monroe doctrine, if not the constant necessity of perfecting our relations with all our near neighbors, requires a true Pan-American policy." Earlier in his address, touching on the relation of the Monroe doctrine to European nations.

Professor Brown said that "the bloc of Latin-American nations represented In the League of Nations Is so strong that the practice of the European nations has been to bid for its vote and to draw these countries need a fresh orientation and more into the diplomatic game of Europe. Two years in succession the great powers have seen fit to favor the choice of representatives from this hemisphere to preside over the assembly of the league. And the suggestion has been seriously made that a special bureau of the league should be organIzed to deal with Pan-American affairs. "The spectacle of a Europe still under the sway of the vicious principle of 'balance of power' endeavoring to intrude on the affairs of the American continents is one that should awaken deep regret and resentment." SAVED HONDURAS. PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

Without the Monroe Doctrine. the national territory of Honduras might have been dismembered and over her islands in the Atlantic and Pacific there might be floating today the flag of a foreign power, Salvador CordAva, minister of Honduras to the United States, declared tonight in an address before the American Academy of Political and Social Science at its meeting in celebration of the centennial anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine. After giving a historical review of his country, Mr. Cordova said: "We have full confidence, that. faithful to the spirit and tradition of justice which is the fundamental basis, her political social structure.

thin great country will always be. not only the jealous defender of the Monroe Doctrine, under the shadow of which the other nations of this hemisphere are safe from the attacks of the nations of the other continents. but also that like an elder brother, the strongest and most prosperous of this hemisphere. She will never forget that she ham duties to fulfill toward them, and that she will be to them an emblem of whfch la inscribed In 1umInoum letters the world's equality. fraternity and Justice.

Equality, because before divine Justice. before human. all men. are equal: fraternity, because the martyr of Golgotha bade men love one and justice. because they principles which rule tween Individuals should rule In the reciprocal relations between independent nationa.

ITALY GIVES ENDORSEMENT ROME. Dec. 1-Commenting on the speech of Secretary of State Hughes in Philadelphia, the Giornale d'Italia maya: "America has spoken. A11 the premines laid out by Mr. Hughes find complete, spontaneous adhesion on our part.

"A catastrophe in Germany seems near," It adda. "with effects which will be fearful to contemplate. Germany has a right to live, but her conquerors miso have a right to indemnity for their damages. It becomes more evident that intervention by the United States cannot be postponed longer. The United States sent formidable, valA orous army to France, but It can be said without gratitude, that, more than Ita courageous soldiers, the Stars and Stripes raised before adversaries produced their defeat by its Irresistible moral force."

F. HOEHWALT UNION Dec. Thirty one dogs are competing in the open all age stake of the Georgia field trials for bird dogs and from present indications the stake cannot be decided until noon on Monday, So far the entire first series has been run and the first brace. of the second series ran their heat late Saturday afternoon. The dogs drawn for this, were the setter, Oktiebbeha Kids Ray, owned by W.

H. Sikes dr Starkville, Mississippi and the pointer, McTyer, owned by Scott Hudson, of Atlanta, The dogs were in competition for an hour and each found birds on several occasions. The Mississippi setter made three good points on bevies, and two finds that came under judgment, were made by McTyer. The latter showed more range than the setter, though very frequently he went so far and wide that he was not under judgment. There are still several good dogs to run and in all probability the race to try conclusions for high honors in the stakes will: consist of the pointer, Doughboy, owned by E.

J. Rowe, of Birmingham, and the pointer, Comanche Rap, owned by William Ze gler, of New York. Doughboy and Becky Broom HIll, the well known winning pointer belonging L. L. Hegging of Lexington, Kentucky, were pitted together in first Becky out birded the Birmingham pointer, but the work of Doughboy Was 80 classy that he really stands higher in the stake than the famous national champion.

The finish on Monday promises to be an exciting one, for It is still anybody's race.

Just after the heart-rending defeat at Rickwood Field Thursday, Coach Wallace Wade, to whom much of the credit for Alabama's excellent record 1g due, was sought out by Montgomery University of Alabama alumni.

The Crimson chieftan was downcast and sad. His team had lost the championship but a -little while before. Coach Wade, In a few words, was told of the great esteem in which he is held by Alabama alumni everywhere. The Florida defeat was forgotten in the fine record for the season made by the Crimson Tide. A white gold.

watch then was presented to Coach Wade, gift of appreciation for his untiring work at Alabama, from the Montgomery alumni. The quiet mentor expressed his appreciation in a few words, the sadness of defeat being erased somewhat by the knowledge of the many friends which he has won during his first season at Alabama. The watch, a beautifully designed affair, was engraved on the back side with an expression of esteem and the Initials ww. W. JOHN FLETCHER WILL LEAD GEORGIA BULLDOGS DURING '24 CAMPAIGN ATHENS, Dec.

Hamilton Fletcher, of Tifton, was tonight named captain of Georgia's 1924 football team. The honor comes as a fitting reward to Fletcher who has played three years of hard football for the Bulldogs.

DEZZO LAKE OVERFLOWS. MILAN, Dee. The Associated Press--The huge artificial lake at Deszo, near Bergamo, has overflowed and broken through dike, the waters sweeping down the valleys, over. whelming villages, and drowning inhabitants by the scores. The number of victims is computed at three hundred or more by some of the authorities.

The heavy rains which have been falling for tho past few weeks caused the streams to overflow and filled the lake to bursting point. MIllions of cubic yards of water were let loose, and the terrific force of the flood swept everything before It. The village of Desso, originally containing inhabitants. and the adjacent villages, Menaggio and Teveno, were directly in the line of the rushing waters and were inundated. Many of the people, however, were appraised of the break in the dike, and fled, together with hundreds of other refugees, to the hills.

Red Cross relief has been organised and the government is using all etforts to aid the, sufferers. Girl Elevens Clash in Thrilling Contest ST. PETER, Dec. 1. what believed to have been the first contest of Its kind in the northwest, two girl college football elevens battled on the Gustavus Adolphus gridiron here today to a 6 to 6 tie.

A smash through center for 25 yards, a 55 yard end run for a touchdown and the longest punt kicked on the Gussie fleld this year featured the game, as did numerous 15 yard penalties for hair pulling. The elevens were "mythical" teams picked by sport contributors to the Gustavian Weekly, the college paper, 88 the lightweight and heavyweight teams of co-eds most likely to conquer on the gridiron. After the teams had been selected a hubbub of assertions and denials as to their respective abilIty arose. It was decided to play game of four eight minute quarters on the college field, receipts to go to the Gustavian, the student annual. The only change in the rules made for the women students was one designed to eliminate some tackling.

It was agreed that three blows on the back should constitute tackle, but not infrequently the ardor of the chase overcame the maidens and they dropped their "men" in regular fashion. MRS.
