At Rest

Four games played in 1935 laid the 1934 collegiate football season away to rest in history.

Rose Bowl At Pasadena, Calif, the biggest crowd (85,000) packed a stadium decorated with bunches of flowers to watch the game between Stanford and Alabama. Alabama's Halfback Millard (''Dixie") Howell gained 273 yd. His longest run (67 yd.) made one Alabama touchdown while his phenomenally accurate passes, mostly to End Don Hutson, paved the way to two more. Swamped by three touchdowns and a field goal in the second quarter, Stanford marched bravely to a touchdown in the third but still had no defense for the Alabama passes that scored again in the last. Alabama 29, Stanford 13.

Sugar Bowl At New Orleans, a huge sugar bowl containing two little girls dressed in the colors of Temple and Tulane, was dragged onto the field to be greeted by a Father New Orleans in cavalier's costume. Neatest play of an exciting, well-played contest came in the second quarter when Tulane's Quarterback Mc-Daniel caught a Temple kickoff, ran to the right to draw tacklers, then threw a lateral pass to his teammate Monk Simons who scampered 75 yd. for a touchdown. Two more Tulane touchdowns in the last half outweighed Temple's early lead, 20-to-14.

At Miami, the stadium was called the Orange Bowl. Five thousand spectators in white flannels and beach clothes watched Bucknell, bothered by sore feet and colds in the head, romp through the University of Miami, 26-to-0.

East v. West Crack players selected from Western and Eastern college teams played the tenth annual all-star benefit game at San Francisco. Irvine ("Cotton") Warburton's 72-yd. run to a touchdown was the most spectacular play of the game. Outplayed in the first half. East came back gamely but not quite enough in the second. West 19, East 13.
