Kentucky Defeats Maryville
and Georgetown By Decisive Scores
The Wildcat bnsketeers of the
versity of Kentucky have found their
claws and are now steadily scratching their way to the State championship in basketball. Undaunted by the
defeat at the hands of Cincinnati in
the opening game of the season the
Wildcats, under the able training of
Coach Buchheit, have staged a clean
in the beginning of the
come-bacseason by defeating recently the
Btrong teams representing Maryville
College and Georgetown College.
The quintette is showing up in excellent condition. They are aggressive, fast, steady, and are unusually
Coach
good In their goal shooting.
Buchheit has found his combination
and has used the Varsity five as a
complete unit during all the games.
In the first two of the three games
played he used no substitutes, but in
the last game he shifted in favor of
the entire second squad during the
The
last few seconds of play.
Varsity five are Everett, center; Hay-doforward; Blakey, forward; Smith,
guard, and Burnham, guard. The second string men are Lavin, Wilhelm,
Evans, Ridgeway and Bartlett.
Kentucky, 27; Maryville, 13.
The Maryville game, which resulted in a victory for Kentucky by a
score of 27 to 13, was the source of
much comment in local athletic circles. The visiting team had the night
previous administered defeat to the
aggregation, and
Centre basketball
fans were anxious to get "dope" on
the respective strength of the Centre
and Kentucky teams.
During the Maryville game honors
were nearly evenly distributed among
all five of the Kentuckians Blakey,
Hayden and Everett caging three field
goals each, and Smith getting two.
The guarding of Burnham called forth
The
praise from every spectator.
Maryville team evidently didn't plsjy
up to their standard, for they showed
poor team work and were poor at
shooting goals, but nevertheless they
played a very creditable game.

Kentucky, 25; Georgetown, 14.
The third game of the Kentucky
schedule resulted in a defeat for the
neighboring Tigers from Georgetown,
who contested for state honors on
the University floor Saturday night,
January 31, the score being 25 to 14.
The Tigers kept the Wildcats guessing until near the end of the game
as to whether the game was "cinched"
or not. The visitors were on the aggressive throughout the game, and
their guards were a continuous hindrance to the Kentucky forwards.
In the beginning of the second half
Georgetown came into the game with

second half Kentucky outplayed Tennessee from the point of floor work
and also from the score made during
this period.
The gymnasium at the Armory was
filled to its capacity Thursday night
when the Kentuckians and the
faced each other In their
annual basketball scrap. The Tennessee team was flushed with the success qf their easy victory from Georgetown the night before, and the Wildcat outfit was determined that the
honor of Kentucky should be trampled
upon in no such overwhelming manner.
The game was a fight from start to
finish, and both teams came in for
their share of the personal fowls.
The fast floor work of Blakey and
Hayden, Kentucky forwards, stood
out very prominently. Blakey succeeded in making a point out of every
foul he attempted to shoot. For Tennessee, Troutman was most successful in goal shooting. The entire team
was unusually fast, and seemed always to have plenty of ability for
offensive basketball.
Tennessee secured a slight lead
early in the game, but soon the hard
playing of Kentucky had evened the
score to 8 and S and "then the first
half ended with Tennessee leading by
six points. Throughout the second
half Tennessee kept a lead of five
points, and when the final whistle
lew Kentucky had still been unable
to lessen the small margin.
The score and line-ufollows:
Kentucky, 24; Tennessee, 29.

In Selecting a University
For a college education, there are five things
to be taken into consideration:
1.

The men at the head of the Insti-

tution.

The scholastic standing and ability
of the Teaching Staff.
3. The location and advantages of
environment.
4.
Equipment, buildings, laboratories
and libraries.
5. Cost.
2.

In ail these respects the University of Kentucky commends itself to those seeking a higher
institution in which to carry on their education.
All Departments, including Liberal Arts,
Sciences, Agriculture, Law, Education, Mining,
Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
The Government need's trained men and
women; college training will bring the result.
