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.

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.

But the majority of able professionals, like Detroit's Earl ("Dutch") Clark, who has scored 73 points this season, Philadelphia...
...notables as Secretary of War Dern, Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur, Postmaster General Farley, Maryland's Governor Ritchie, New York's Mayor LaGuardia. Speculators sold tickets for $40 each. In the first quarter, Slade Cutter, Navy's tackle and heavyweight boxing champion, place-kicked a goal from the 20-yd. line. After that, the two teams struggled up & down the muddy field with Fred Borries doing most of Navy's ball-carrying, and a quick-charging Navy line effectively checking Army's Jack Buckler and Joe Stancook. Navy's first victory over Army in 13 years ended with the score...
