Pitching Burden

Pitchers and catchers on the 1931
baseball team will report for duty
Monday afternoon at the old Independent warehouse at the corner
of Limestone and Upper streets.
The remainder of the team will
report about March 1. Coach Pat
Dcvereau has made an extensive
effort to obtain the warehouse
which will be an excellent place
to work out, if enough light is available from the skylights.
Three varsity stars will be lost
to the varsity squad this season.
They are Mauser, third baseman,
Rhodes, first string pitcher, and
Kellogg, star outfielder 'who did
not return to school.
Of the veterans returning, Captain Dudley Barnes, catcher, Augustus, second baseman and utility
catcher, McMurray and McBrayer
will form the batteries for the Big
Blue. Pat will be in dire need of
pitching material as his ace Rhodes
was graduated last year.
McMurray, a dependable, hard
working veteran from the 1930
squad, will probably bear the brunt
of the mound duty. McBrayer saw
plenty of action last year, but his
size and hitting ability make him
very useful for the first base position.
Ellis, freshman star from the 1930
frosh, is not eligible, and whether
Devereau has some promising pitcher in the offing is not known. The
Kentucky coach has often approached a season with raw material and produced one or two outstanding stars, who were heretofore unknown for their ability.
Cecil Urbaniak will be back at
the shortstop position again. "Urby"
is a third baseman, but played at
shortstop last season. The work of
erratic mauser was supplanted by
the sterling work of Elwood Krug
er, who alternated at first and third
bases.
A sophomore who is heralded as
a great player, Hogue, may win the
shortstop berth, and Urbaniak may
go back to his old job at third
Toth will again be battling for the
second base position. He and au
gustus, took turns at the keystone
sack last season.
In the outfield there are four
veterans. .Johnny Murphy, Bill
Trott, Ohr and Kelly will fill in
the outer gardens.
Kentucky won the majoriy of her
games last season, and faces one
of the most pretentious schedules
that a Wildcat baseball team has
ever encountered.
There are seven freshmen players who will furnish strong
for the regular positions.
Wooten, a pitcher, will be fighting
for a chance to show his wares.
Ellis Johnson, who is on the varsity
basketball team, will be out for the
team when the call for inflelders is
issued.
Worthington, who played first
and third, was outstanding with
Hogue, third baseman, and Lavin.
Carney and Luther are
catcher.
other available freshmen stars who
will make the going tough for the
varsity men.
Kentucky plays 15 games this
year, and opens the schedule on
Stoll field with Miami College of
Oxford, Ohio. The Wildcats defeated the Ohio team here last year,
but the Miami boys reversed scores
at Oxford.
Hi'nols returns to Stoll field on
April 6. The Illinois lost last year
before the great pitching of Rhodes.

Always Favor The
Dealer Who Sells

I

Last Monday evening in the Euclid avenue gymnasium one of the
greatest basketball aggregations to play on the local floor, Georgia Tech,
thrilled the 4,000 fans by their marvelous playing. There Is seldom
game when both teams, racing like race horses at breakneck speed down
the floor and up the floor, maintain such a dazzling playing speed, without cracking.
That is what happened when the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech
tangled with the undefeated 'Cats Monday night. Kentucky was conceded more than an even chance to score a victory .
Tech's rambling wreck, bubbling with
from their
overwhelming victory over Georgia's undefeated Bulldogs, came northward to take a double trimming. Vanderbilt took the Yellow Jackets into
camp,
and then the Georgians proceeded into the lair of the 'Cats
where they were finally subdued 4.
Coach Adolph Rupp made a unique and strategic move last Monday
night, from the standpoint of the average fan. In the waning minutes
2
of the fracas, with the score
in favor of Kentucky, he had all his
men undress.
To the student of the game, this is not a new move. It is merely
preparedness. When seconds mean victory or defeat, the time that it
requires to strip of sweat clothes and rush into the fray is precious.
If at any any time Rupp should care to send in some needful information or possibly substitute a player, no time would be lost. The second
factor is the psychological viewpoint. Knowing that if they "lay down"
in the closing minutes, they will be "jerked" out of the game, players
fight all the harder.
The Rambling Wreck seeing that the second team is coming in, will
tend to temporarily crack and feel and wait for victory due to the inefficiency of the the reserve men who might be substituted. Adolph has
pulled this strategic move all season but few paid it little mind until
last Monday.
After defeating the undefeated Alabama five, Tennessee lost to Georgia Tech Tuesday,
The Crimson Tide had not lost a Southern
Conference game in two seasons and the defeat was a big upset. Kentucky claims two wins over Tennessee.
Three of the strongest conference foes engage the 'Cats this week
end. Tonight, the. Bulldogs of Georgia with 13 victories", and one defeat
from the hands of Tech play the Wildcats. Then the boys go to Clem-so- n,
who were defeated here early in the season, and Monday night pay
a return compliment to Georgia Tech in their threshold at Atlanta.
To ask Rupp's men to return home with three victories is impossible.
All these teams are lying in wait with blood in their eyes, awaiting the
snarl of the undefeated Kentucky team. Victory over these teams will
surely be sweet and how!
A eulogy of the Wildcat mentor, Adolph Rupp, appeared in Sunday's
edition of the Herald, written by Frank K. Hoover, sports editor. Hoover
has attempted and succeeded marvelously in describing Kentucky's
youthful coach who Is spending his first year in "big league" coaching.
"Lexington basketball fans should be thankful for Coach Adolph Rupp.
He has done wonders with a basketball team which did not appear to
have a ghost of a chance to win half of Its games this year. And yet
those boys have played and won nine games, six of them in the Southern
Conference. Rupp came here with a fine reputation as a high school
coach. He had won 85 percent of his high school games, although he
told this reporter he didn't want much publicity on this fact. Adolphus
is just this type he doesn't crave much fame. He just wants to win
games, and he believes in his system and his boys.

The schedule for this year Is as
follows:

April

"Adolphus Is superstitious that way. Here's another one of his secrets: He dresses in conventional brown when he is going to have a game.
He wears a brown suit, brown tie, brown shoes and brown socks. Down
at Nashville, when the 'Cats played Vanderbilt, Kentucky was going bad
in the first half. At the end of the half, Rupp asked Jake Bronston,
Kentucky's great guard, "What were you thinking of when you were
going bad out there in the first half?" And Jake replied, "I was thinking
if you had those brown socks on." Yes, Adolphus had them on, and Kentucky won the old game, 42 to 37.
"There's nothing in the whole world that the Wildcat players wouldn't
do for their coach. If we must say this, they love him, and if Rupp told
them to jump into the lak and tako a bath on the coldest day of the
year, they'd jump in clothes and all. He's like a father to them, and
usually children are mindful of the advice that true fathers give out.
He doesn't "jump all over them" when they make a mistake. He chastises them a little, but there's nothing harsh in the remarks. If one
of his boys does something good, he tells him about It before the whole
squad; if he does something bad, he does the same tiling. That's the
kind of stuff that Rupp Is made of. He's just bubbling over in personality, and those personality boys usually "get the grapes," whether it be
in athletics or business. Yes, Lexington Is glad Rupp is here. And tills
reporter is glad he's here, for having a conversation with Adolphus is
like taking a drink of good, old fashioned ice water after playing
18 holes of golf on a hot summer day.

Here we saw, among other things, a black cat. Rupp yelled, "Boys, it's
