A crowd which taxed the capacity of

The results of the game were very
satisfactory to Coach Gill and all supporters of the eleven. The team played exceptionally well considering the
limited time the members of the
eleven have practiced together, and
also for the first game of the season.

Moss Starts Battle.
The game was called promptly at 3
o'clock, Moss kicking off for Georgetown, Heber receiving the ball and
returning it 10 yards. Kentucky began its march down the field by a
series of line bucks and off tackle
smashes. A forward pass to Burnham
and off tackle smashes by Shanklin,
placed the Wildcats within striking
distance of the goal and Acting Captain Hite carried the ball around
Georgetown's right end for the first
touchdown, after five minutes of play.

Rest of Half Barren of Results.
The remainder of the first half was
scoreless for both elevens. The ball
was kept In the middle of the field
most of the time during the remainder of the half, neither team being
able to make much headway, and both
being forced to punt frequently. The
half ended with the score remaining
six to nothing in favor of Kentucky.

are promising candidates.
Training for the hurdles, broad and
high jump, pole vault, etc., is Just beginning. A likely squad has reported
for these events, bu the coach is very
desirous of having more men out. He
requests that all men who have had
any experience in track work report
immediately and receive a suit, so that
as little time as possible be lost from
the training period.
The following is an incomplete list

NOTES FROM GRIDIRON
It is not our policy to become personal or mention names.
But we
heard that while lunching in the cafeteria a few days ago "Fats" Thompson consumed the following: Thirteen
ham sandwiches, four pies, $1.20 worth
of cakes and a gallon and a half of
milk. Now of course we do not state
this as an absolute fact, but we got
the dope from the fellow who paid for
it and he surely ought to know. But
if it is true we claim that football has
a tendency to give one an appetite.
M

To bring to light the strong points
of any of our individual stars is not
lesired but those who have been
around have noticed that "Fats"
Clements has to turn his shoes up
to get them in his locker.

It Is tho hope of Kentucky fans that
the results of last Saturday will bo repeated in the Indiana game. The Wildcat squad is going into this second
fray with some advantages over the
first. It is a week older; which means
a great deal at the beginning of the
season; the five players who were out
of condition la3t week, are now ready
to take their places on the team; the
first game has been played and won,
and there has been added to the squad
three men of reputation in Kentucky
football circles, Craig Riddle, Dewey
and "Dad" Downing. With these advantages Kentucky should win the
game Saturday from Indiana, notwithstanding the fact that Indiana has one
of the strongest teams that Kentucky
will face during the season.
Since the Georgetown game Coach
Gill has been making radical changes
.
In the Wildcat
He used as many
of his candidates as possible so, that
he might test thefr ability as individual players. With his abundance of
material, it is certain that by Friday
Coach Gill will have whipped into
nearly perfect shape a winnlg team.
Indiana also has a strong team. Assistant Coach Buchheit was sent to
Bloomington last Saturday to witness
mix-uand reports
the Indiana-Centr- e
the Indiana team to be very strong,
its defeat being due to a streak of
luck for (Centre during the last three
minutes of play. The Indiana line, he
says, Is of about the same weight as
Kentucky's. Their backfleld contains
two exceptionally fast men, one of
whom is an extraordinary punter and
drop kicker. Their playing was ragged
at times, however, and showed lack of
teamwork.
Three new men reported for uniforms the first of the week. They had
been in school for several weeks but
were staying away from practice for
various reasons. Dewey and "Dad"
Downing will add considerable weight
and much good football sense to the
Kentucky team. They are both old
"K" men with enviable records. Riddle, star quarterback for the last
two seasons, although matriculated at
the University ,has been held away
from football practices because of afternoon work. But when the battle cry
sounded and Riddle sensed the smell of
conflict, he could not resist the tempWildcat
tation. He is a
again and is most certainly a welcome
addition to the squad. Whether the
three new men will be in condition for
the Indiana game is not known.
