(Special to Kernel)
BUFFALO, N. Y., March 21 The
Buffalo Alumni Club is planning to
make this year's Senior inspection trip
even more enjoyable and instructive
than last year's. Sunday will be given
while the other
over to
four days will be taken up with the inspection of plants in and around Buffalo. The grand finale will be a banquet on Thursday evening in honor
of the Seniors.
The boys will arrive here early Sunday morning, April sixth, but will remain only long enough to get breakfast, for they continue on the same
train as far as Niagara Falls, where
they day will be spent in
Special cars will take the group thru
the famous Gorge Route. Monday will
be given over to inspection of plants
around Niagara Falls. This will be of
particular interest to the electrical students, for the largest
developments in the world are there.
Only .recently the world's largest single
c
generator has been put
into operation at one of the Niagara
power plants.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Seniors will visit the following industrial plants: The Larkin Company, the Lackawanna plant of the
Beithlehem Steel Company, the Pierce-ArroMotor Car Company, The Hew- -

Displaying a fighting spirit that
could not be curbed, the Blue Devils
of Lexington Senior High School, won
the 6th annual interscholastic basketball tournament held here Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week. The
Devils defeated some of the best teams
in order to get into the finals Saturday
night and then outfought the Highland
five of Ft. Thomas, winning the final

The Kittens of Ashland
duplicated their triumph of las', year
by winning the girls' tourney Saturday
afternoon, winning from the Misses
of Georgetown
While the Lexington five was not
seriously considered as a strong contender for the title, the Blue Devil
teams have the reputation of putting
up a big fight and the success of the
local five should not have been such a
surprise. Coach "Dutch" Heriber, former Wildcat athlete, has a very likely
looking squad of basketeers, who although only youngsters,
played as
heady a game as any of the other contenders. Paducah, Hazard, Manual,
and Fort Thomas all failed to stop the
Devils and it was over mighty tough
proposition that the Lexington aggregation won its goal.
In the girl's tourney, things were
just as close as in the boy's division,
and the Kittens of Ashland won the ti- -

J. L. Shouse, a graduate of the class
of 1923, is spending this week at the
College of Engineering for the pur
pose of presenting the claims of the
General Electric Company, of Schenectady, N. Y., to the 1924 graduate of
'the College of Engineering.
Mr. Shouse has been employed by
the General Electric Company since
his graduation and this is a fine implied tribute to him to be selected by
this company to secure additional technical graduates for its organization at
so short a time after his leaving the
University himself. In all probability
at least five merrtbers of the class of
1924 will go with the General Electric Company.
