As has been evidenced thruout the
season, the Wildcat basketball squad
has been greatly handicapped by an inadequacy of good material. Then, too,
some members of the 'varsity have not
been broken of the habit or fondness,
perhaps, of shooting at the basket
every time they get their hands on the
ball. This lack of team play has caused
the local aggregation to be on the small

Athletics for the whole instead of

University this semester. To develop
persons who have been mentally trained Into persons of tine .physique is
the ideal of the nation. It is the idea,
in addition, of S. A. Boles, physical
director of the University of Kentucky,
to have every male student registered
at this University take part in some
form of athletics.
"Great stress will be laid on athletics in this University during the
semester just started," Professor Boles
said yesterday, "it is the present plan
to have every student in the University participate in athletics," he continued. "The physical man received
great recognition in the United States
army during the recent war, and it is
the desire of the government to build
up a nation of men and women second
to none In physique."
