KERNEL SPORTS EDITOR

Soon after that, Wade started
coaching there and had good luck
against us. Frank Thomas, present
coach, has been doing fairly well
since he took over the reins several
years ago, having defeated the 'Cats
in every game.
But one thing you can almost be
sure of that It will be a pretty day.
The odds are about 750 to 250 that
It will not be raining or snowing.
During the last ten year period
there has been rain and snow on
three occasions. The other times
the gridiron has usually been. dry.
By all these facts you can readily
see that the only thing the 'Cats
have to worry about are the Jinxes
and the weather will take care
of itself.

By LOUIS IIAYNES

It's the eve of the annual football struggle wherein Ken
tucky's Wildcats stage their annual attempt to beat two foes
in a single afernoon Alabma's big Red Tide and the forces
of rortune. It is usually quite a battle, but only once has
Kentucky been a winner, and the Cats have had 15 chances,
No matter how you figure it, the Alabama-Jin- x
combination
has a terrific edge in the victory department.
Whoever penned the line "hope springs eternal in the
human breast" must certainly have envisioned Kentucky
fans in relation to the Alabama situation. Since 1922, just
few years after the Armistice was signed, the Bluegrass has
patiently awaited another conquest of the apparently re
lentless Crimson Tide.
Now the years have piled on each other and we face the
same problem tomorrow as has confronted us for so long,

Jinxrs to the loft of them, but at
least Kentucky's
Wildcats won't
have to worry about the weather.
That Is, they won't have to worry
if the records of former homecoming games mean anything.
But those Jinxes!
Out of records compiled for the
last ten years on the homecoming
games it is noticed that seven times
the 'Cats have gone down in defeat,
with only two victories and one
tie to their credit.
Looking more closely at these
Agues we see that Alabama and
Tennessee have both taken Kentucky twice without a loss. But
on more that one occasion the 'Cats
have wrecked Tennesse's chances of
a Rose Bowl bid. Borne other teams
that have caused us sorrow are
Centre, Duke, and Tulane.
In Duke's case It Is another Jinx
the Wallace Wade Jinx. Back
when Wade coached Alabama he
said that a Kentucky team would
never defeat a team of his. In 1931
when Duke beat us 0 they had
luck on their side. That Is the
last game that the Wildcats have
played against a
team.
Our only victories In homecoming
games for the past ten years are
over Centre in 1928 and Florida last
year. In both cases the games have
been close and undecided until late
In the game.
A Jinx that ranks with the home
coming one, Is the spell that Ala
bama has always seemed to hold
over us. Out of fifteen games with
the Tide they have defeated
us fourteen times with only one
victory. Our triumph ocurred In

bamas this year and we haven't always been able to say
tha, you know, Waldo. In fact, I must say that I think this
Kentucky team is superior in ability to the Tide.

roles?

A. Coach Wynne has not announced his lineup yet but
we're figuring on Elmore "Red" Simpson at quarterback,
Dameron Davis and Bert Johnson in the halfback slots and
Walter "Whirly" Hodge, the Paris sophomore, in the fullback berth. Tommy Coleman may start instead of Bert
Johnson at one halfback, but I think it will be Bert.
Q. Now, in conclusion, tell me who can carry the ball
for the Tide?
A. They tell me, Waldo, that this guy Joe Riley is still
working out with Frank Thomas' club and if you'll remember he did a fair job of running with the leather up here two
years ago. He's plenty fast and plenty shifty. And then
the Elephants also have another boy named Caldwell th v

reasons ?
A. I'm trying to get along as "fast as I can, Waldo,
Sorry if I'm elemental. But, to continue, you know this
game will mean more to us than any other with the probable
exception of Tennessee. Well, the boys realize it, too, and
they're going to be out there scrapping every minute tomorrow trying to take that ball game. Besides they have the
added incentive, if it is necessary, of wanting to avenge the
Georgia Tech lacing. Alabama is the first really tough opponent we have met since then and the 'Cats will be wanting
to take out a little of the revenge on them.
Q. Well, that's all very nice and quite logical, too, but
give us a little more convincing proof. How has the team
been looking in practice this week?
A. Ah, Waldo, that's the question I've been wanting
you to ask. And here s the answer. Observers who put in
a lot of time over at the practice field during the fall, have
been heartened by the work of the squad this week. I'd say
that the club was blocking and tackling better at this mo
ment than at any time this season. Now doesn't that make
you feel better? It should, as the Wildcats' weakness pre
viously has been blocking and tackling the fundamentals
