Although the Kentucky basketball
team found itself in close quarters
last Saturday night when they lined
upon the Georgetown floor to play
the Tigers in n return game, they
worked well in the final half and won
the contest by n score of 3G to 21.
The small court of the Georgetown
gym somewhat hampered the large
floor playing tactics of the Blue and
WliHi. vnf. ihov took timo nnd pot

on the Tigers.
The score at the end of the half
stood 15 to 11, with the Wildcats
holding sway, and not long after the
second half irot under way the score
was 20 to 19 with Kentucky hold.ing
on to the one point lead.
The sterling Kentucky forward,
Captain McFarland, was unable to
get his shooting eye to working nnd

no entrance in the upper part and

field goals in the last twelve minutes

The freshman basketball team con
tinued its winning streak last Fri
day night by defeating the Cumber
land College five by the topheavy
score of 35 to 10. The mountaineers
seemed to be lost on the spacious
floor of the new gym and were be
wildered even more by the general
basketball ability of the
Kitten outfit.
The freshmen rained baskets from
every angle of the floor during the
first half, and got ninny crip shots.
Coach Ecklund injected his second
string men into the lineup before the
end of the first half, and a few minutes before the termination of the
game.
In the second half the Kittens did
well, getting the mnjority of their
goals from past the foul line. Cum
berlnnd came out of the lethargy in
to which they had fallen in the first
period, and played a snappy brand of
basketball.
The star of the game was Ropkc,
who was also high point man, with a
total of 17 points. Hickerson gave
a nice exhibition at center. Jenkins
was out of the lineup on account of
a weak ankle.

Baseball, the king of all sports, is
about to make his debut upon the
horizon of the athletic world. When
spring again rolls around, nnd the
meadow flowers appear, sprinkling
themselves among the green buds of

awakening life, the heart of the
three years it has been in exist- tion turns to the sport which has
made immortal Pop Anson, Eddie Collins, Johnny Evers, Frank Chance and
hundreds of others.
To the University of Kentucky has
come that spirit of bouyancy that
mysterious thing that puts the go- gct um spirit into everybody s bones,
and our athletes are on their toes,
waiting patiently for Mother Na
ture to release her winter s hold on
the earth, to allow men to hear the
crack of the bat and the squash of
baseball spikes on their familiar old
stamping ground.

been just a bit of optimistic baseball enthusiasm oozing out all over

from these same men that Murphy
hopes to mold the strongest team
in the south.
It will be fully two weeks until
the fielders can take to Stoll Field
for their initial romp. In the mean
time, pitchers and catchers will take
advantage of the gymnasium during

Of the twelve men who won letters
in baseball last year, ten are in
school this year and are eligible to
play. In addition to this material,
a number of excellent varsity pros
pects are coming up from last year's
freshman squad, so that the prospects for a first class team are good.
The squad lost only two letter men
through graduation, Captain Paul
Rouse, second baseman, and Bill King,
shortstop.
The letter men who will don the
uniform this spring are: Captain
Reed Miller,
first base; Hughes,
pitcher and outfield; Gregg, Voss- meyer, Jesse Rifle, pitchers; Sauer

John Rifle, outfielders; Croft, third

Bach, pitchers, will cause a great
deal of worry to regulars.
The Wildcats will play six south
ern games with three Southern Con
ference teams on a road trip which
will take them through the heart of
the south, from May 11 to 18, and
will entertain one Western Conference team, two Southern Conference

This year's Kitten basketball team
is spoken of as the best yearling
quintet at the university since the
first year rule was adopted by the
athletic council of the university.
lTom a group of former high
school and prep school stars, Coach

Ray Ecklund, former
forward while at the University of
Minnesota, has moulded together a
machine, which possesses a
powerful scoring combination nnd a
defense that no team has as yet been
able to break through.
Coach Ecklund has an abundance
of capable reserve material, which
could easily fill any of the regulars'
places to the satisfaction of any

well-oile- d

coach.

The Wildcats won one of the most
importnnt games on their schedule
here Inst Thursday night when they
defeated Tulane University of New
Orleans 29 to 22 in n heated contest.
The victory gave Kentucky an average of .714 in the Southern Conference race, as Coach Applegran's men
have won five and lost two official
games.
Tulane came to Lexington
with n reputation which threw fear
into the hearts of the Wildcat supporters, as she had been beaten only
once previously, nnd that by the
Mississppi A. and M. team, which
later fell before Tulane by 20 points.
Tulane had also defeated Alabama
in two games, who in turn defeated
Kentucky on their Southern trip.
Thursday night s game was one of
the hardest fought and swiftest played on the local floor this season. The
result was in doubt until McFarland
sewed up things late in the final half.
Throughout the contest, "Speedy" Alberts played a remarkable game, and
he has shown in the last three contests that he is one of the best stationary guards in the south. The
shooting of Milward, enlongated center, helped Kentucky along materially, as 12 points were registered to
his credit. Lind, guard, and Hcnican,
were Tulane's best bets.
Foster, Helm started the scoring
with a free throw and added two
more points before Lind of Tulane
scored the visitors' first marker. The
score
for awhile, but toward the end of the half Kentucky
obtained a slight lead. At the half
the score stood 15 to 13 in Kentucky's
favor.
The second half was more of a
battle than was the first, and until
McFarland was able to lead his team
to victory with a decisive basket, the
situation looked bad for the Wildcats,
as Tulane tied the score three times.

Tennessee Volunteers, who hnd previously been defented by Centre 2G

final score was 2G to 21. The Tennessee team led the Wildcats 12 to 1
after 17 minutes nnd ten seconds of

to sink Kentucky's first field goal
after this period.
To say the least, the game was
poor nnd the Felines displayed the
poorest brand of play in the first
half they have shown this season.
The Vols, in a mad rush, piled up
points, while the 'cats ran wildly over

However, in the second half, the

It would be hard to piqk out a star
