Polsgrovc was put in for Stevenson
and immediately
made a beautiful
shot from the center of the floor that
gave the Kitten a two point lead.
Just before the final whistle Smith
made a basket that gave the additional
two points.
The game was very rough from
start to finish with numerous fouls
being called on each team. The Kittens missed many baskets as did the
visitors. The passing of the freshmen was inaccurate, the main trouble
to men who
was that of passing
were covered.
The outstanding feature of the game
was the defensive work of Captain
Scrivner. He was always on the job
and most of the visitor's shots were
made from the center of the floor. He
was in most of the plays and was directing his men at all stages of the
game. His brand of playing is of
varsity calibre. Hendricks was high
point man for Kentucky making IS
points. Captain Ellison played the
most consistent game for the visitors
wit'h Rodehaven high point man with
eight points.
The freshmen started the first half
with a scries of goals and after a few
minutes the score stood 10 to 2 in favor of the Kittens. Just before the
end of the half Cumberland uncovered
a strong attack and when the half ended the score stood 13 to 9 in favor of
the first year men. Soon after the
second half started the visitors took
the lead and held it until the last three
minutes of play when the freshman
took a new lease on life and won the
game.
