Shades of 1918 Seen.
Familiar faces were to be seen in
various positions on the Wildcat diamond. Kohn, Muth and Mlzrach were
In the garden; Propps and Zerfoss
were scampering around the second
cushion, Thomas was preparing to
"take 'em off behind the bat," and
"Doc" Lasley was adorning the pitcher's mound. Two first year men in
the University were pccupying the
corners of the infield. O. Brown, from
Louisville, was on first and "Dutch"
Burnham was on third base.
Jim Parks, a graduate of the University of Kentucky, a big league
pitcher of wide reputation, and now
the director of athletics at Transylvania University, called "Play Ball" at
4:00 o'clock.
Lasley's Style Is Starlike.
The dependable southpaw of the
Wildcats, iLasley, who earned for him
self such an enviable reputation last
season, started the first game of the
season. He walked the first two men
up, and then settled down to real Wild'
cat style of pitching. Several times
during the game he showed his ability
to pitch himself out of a hole. He
struck out five men and fielded well.
In the seventh inning Slomer, a new
comer and a twirler with speed and
curves aplenty, was given a chance on
the mound. He allowed only four hits.
Thomaa began his second season with
the Wildcats as backstop, with the
same old pep and dependability. Captain Zerfoss played a steady, errorless
game at shortstop.
Propps got two
clean hits, and had the distinction of
making the first score for Kentucky.
Mlzrach poled out two safe hits, one
of them a

three runs. Kohn secured two hits
and two runs out of three times at the
bat.
Tiger Pitcher Gets Poor Support
Bailey, pitcher for the visitors, did
not receive the support due him from
the field, and worked hard in the
pinches to keep the score down. Errors were plentiful in the Georgetown
field, and especially at third base.
Dean, of Georgetown, and Kohn and
Mlzrach, of Kentucky, furnished the

SOUTH HERE ON FRIDAY

Two Games With Volunteers
Will Be as Good as Any
Wildcats Will Play This
Season
In the Volunteers from Tennessee,
Kentucky's Wildcats will find a worthy
foe, according to all tips, when the two
teams line up on the Stoll Field diamond next Friday and Saturday afternoons.
The Volunteers encounter Centre
College at Danville on Tuesday, then
will march over to Lexington and
camp at the Phoenix hotel for several
days. From this location they expect
to launch four "drives." On Wednesday they will engage Georgetown College In Georgetown, returning to Lexington to meet Transylvania on Thursday. Friday and Saturday the Kentucky Wildcats will come to the rescue
and stop the attempted invasion in the
conflicts of those afternoons.
Tennessee is confident and so is
Kentucky. Meek, who won two games
from Kentucky last year, is expected
to pitch one of the games this week
He will be opposed either by Lasley
or Slomer, who promise to convince
him that he has been in a real base
ball game before the decision is ren
dered. Callaway, who is conceded to
be the best shortstop on any Southem
college team will appear this year in

Selections were made for the cast at
held Saturday night at
a final try-othe home of Miss Sallie Bullock Cave,
at 178 N. Mill street. Rehearsals are
being held every night, with progress
which promises to result In the best
production ever staged by the Phllo- Bophian.

Miss Milner, the charming star of
"You Never Can Tell," Is displaying
the same ability in the role of Freda
Guilford, which was admired in her
appearance as Gloria In last year's
performance.
Miss Harbison who takes the part of
Jeffrey Panton, leading man, is mak
ing her debut in University dramatics
this year. She will undoubtedly make
good use of this opportunity to exhibit
her histronic ability.
Other former stars were chosen for
the cast.
Miss Alma Bolser, whose inter
pretation work in last year's play was
unusually excellent, was given the part
of Lady Milligan. Miss Bolser is ill
at present and Elizabeth Marshall Is
doing splendid work In her part. She
will continue to rehearse as Miss Bol
ser's understudy.
The role of Alice Exern, companion
to Freda Guildford, will be taken by
Elizabeth McGowan, who appeared as
the "irrepressible Philip" in "You Nev
er Can Tell." Miss McGowan was one
of the leading characters in the Philo

TROPHY FROM S. N.

Close Guarding
President Emeritus James K. Patterson will speak in chapel on Friday to
the Seniors of 1919. His subject will
be of his own choosing.
This is the first time this year that
the "Grand Old Man of the Campus"
has appeared in chapel and one of the
largest audiences of the year is expected. Dr. Patterson has been in
vlted many times this year to speak
in chapel but the inclemency of the
weather has confined him to his home.
The extraordinary vigor of his intel
lect has served to belie the usual con
sequences of 86 years of life and altho
his health is not always good, he Is
as active in thought as a far younger
man.
The Senior class will attend in a
body and occupy "Senior Corner." Other classes will occupy their respective
places. Freshmen will sit on the north
side of the chapel, Sophomores in front
of them and Juniors and visitors to
their left. Moving day exercises will
be held soon and it Is important that
each class know its position.
