1934 Alabama (and Stanford)

Well, we're now three days into bowl practices, and the Crimson Tide is beginning to install the game plan to play Colorado. It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away, which has a different meaning for anyone associated with the team, including reporters, this year because we're all traveling to Shreveport that morning. So any gas stations between Tuscaloosa and there, please stay open. I promise, I'll stop at least twice, and so will everyone else.

Stanford All-American tackle Bob “Horse” Reynolds and coach C.E. Thornhill meet with Alabama coach Frank Thomas and All-American halfback Millar “Dixie” Howell prior to the 1935 Rose Bowl. Led by its passing game, Alabama won 29-13. Courtesy of the Paul W. Bryant Museum.
