WIN FOR KITTENS

The Kittens gained revenge Wednesday night by defeating the strong
Georgetown first team outfit by the
close score of 31 to 28. This game
was n decided improvement over the
one plnycd with Georgetown earlier in
the season in which the Kittens were
hopelessly outclassed by the Cubs.

It wns n grand and glorious occasion, as the newspaper men of the old
chool would say. I mean the examinations.
It wan Just as auspicious for the Wildcats as they have won an even
iuartcl of Raines since the Inst issue of the Kernel issued and ran thir
string of consecutive victories to six.
Thcso include wins over Georgia Tech, Centre College, Georgetown
and Alabama, the lnttcr team by the wide margin of 27 to 16 in the
biggest upset of the season. Alabamn bested Tennessee the following
night 42 to 21, while they trounced Vnnderbilt by a wide margin tho night
previous to their Kentucky engagement.
So far the Wildcats are undefeated in the south nnd are on top of the

southern conference heap with two victories, alongside Maryville.
with four, naturally has the call over Kentucky. From all indications the Wildcats will go into the southern conference tournament on
February 26 one of the outstanding favorites and local fans will not be
surprised if their team brings homo a championship.

THE CAST IRON DOG
Many an absent minded citizen has affcctionally patted the cast
iron dog that stands at the cntrnricc to the Hay Hardware Company's
store at Vine and Limestone streets. Efforts have been made to
trace the history of the dog but nothing has been learned except
that it was probably cast by the old Lexington Boiler works which
once stood on West Main street. It has been in the possession of tho
Hay Hardware Company for 30 years and is said to be more than
76 years old.
How old does that make the dog?
Now ain't that interesting?

Tho day before examinations Dr. Noe, of "Old Tip Sams" and "Blood of
Rachael" fame, left a parting shot for us to live on. Feeling sorry for the
class, I suppose, he read a poem and remarked: "That poem did you more
good than reading the whole book."
My cow, why didn't he read it to us September 26 ?

"Heard the new asthma song?" somebody asked me the other day.
"No," I replied, "what is it?"

WHO'D OF THOUGHT IT?
Here's something shocking.
Was talking to Carol Sax the other day down In the Lafayette
lobby and when he had finished the last lap on his two hour conversation he was talking about radio. And he remarked that although
he wasn't crazy about the new invention he had "a little radio still
in my home."
I don't know what kind that is but I bet its a humdinger.
Now wouldn't it look funny to see an art prof in jail for such

a thing?

Jubilant from'n victory over Vnndy
thnt raised their Southern Conference
standing to three gnmcs won nnd one
lost, the University of Alabnmu's
Crimson Tide surged into tho university gym Monday night ami attempted
to submerge the Wildcats in their
first conference defeat. However, inability to control the hall without
handles, hnd tho lack of a versatile
attack to penetrate Kentucky's
perfect defense, caused ths Crimson
Title to foam only meekly as it was
administered a 6 drubbing. It was
Kentucky's sixth consecutive victory..
Alabama Scores First
Alabamn started things with a rush
after the initial whistle when W.
Young, Crimson center, caged a crip
shot. However, that action started
more things thnn an Alabama score.
n
It also started Kentucky. A
team with all playing as one,
passed and dribbled through the
Crimson Tide's defense with confident
precision and accuracy to run up a
16-score during the first half. And
Alabama, dazzled by the Wildcat's
demonstration of the game's fine
dc- n
points, settled into its

Kentucky, well satisfied with a ten

with the ball at- their end of the court.
Due to a belated rally in the last
period and to the fact that Kentucky
played a waiting game, the The Crimson team was able to score ten points
to the- 'Cats eleven.
The brilliant
nlay of both teams was marred by
the rough tactics employed by the
players in guarding. Hudson and W.

Got a letter from Herb Carter before exams and he inclosed a clipping
from one of the Birmingham papers which I reproduce below:
"Captain Kirwan, of the Kentucky Wildcats, has been named a
Kenmember of the Kentucky football staff of coaches for 1926.
tucky has a wealth of fine material and the Wildcats are just about
due to cut a wide swath in Southern football. The Kentucky boys
stack up more on the order of the Washington Huskies than any
other set of Southern players seen during the 1926 season."
All of which is quite complimentary to Coach Murphy and his Wildcats
"Here is a clipping from one of the Birmingham newspapers which
may give the campus a bit of cheer," Herb wrote. "It appeared the day
after the Crimson "Tide came back from the Tournament of Roses in Pasa
dena. I thought possibly you may want to use it. Give the bunch my re
gards and tell them I regretted not being at the ADS initiation. No doubt
though, the goats did not foster the same sentiment. Best regards. Herb."

PERSISTENCE PERSONIFIED
I've heard all my young life that persistence always reaps its reward.
Doctor Miner came rushing into our Milton class just before examinations
started, head down, with a serious look on his face and closed the door before
he realized he was in the wrong room. But the doctor tells me he'll recover.
