Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hart spent the weekend with relatives in Tuscaloosa and attended the Alabama-Kentucky game.

Sen. and Mrs. J.L. Kelly and sons, James and George, and R.G. Bozeman attended the Alabama-Kentucky game in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

Crimson Tide To Play Tulane At New Orleans: With six games behind them, the Tidesmen of Alabama invade New Orleans Saturday for an engagement with the Green Wave of Tulane University.

Tulane has played in-and-out football this season, holding Auburn to a tie, defeating Colgate but going down before the attack of a powerful North Carolina team.

The Green Wave outfit boasts a heavy line with an average that hits the scales around the 200-pound mark.

Paced by Dub Mattis, halfback who has led the Greenies’ offense this season, the New Orleans team packs both speed and power in the backfield department. Bill Flowers, also a halfback, has teamed with Mattis this season in heading the Tulane ground-gaining crew.

Coach “Red” Dawson, Tulane mentor, will toss a well-fortified wall against Alabama. End Wentzel, at 222, a sophomore, is the heftiest man in the forward fortifications.

The brunt of the Alabama attack has been borne by Charley Holm, fullback, and Joe Kilgrow, halfback, so far this season.

Outstanding linemen this season for Alabama have been Perron Shoemaker, end, Lewis Bostick and Leroy Monsky, guards.
