star pitcher for the Wildcats Avas the
big doings thruout the entire nine innings. He had the opposing batters
under his thumb so completely that
they ,vere able to make only a very
few scattered safeties off of his masterful delivery. The Springfield wizard whiffed an even dozen Hoosiers
and came within an ace of pitching a
game. Their lone tally came
in the final frame when, after McClellan had given the first man up a
free pass to the first sack, two consecutive foingles were made.
The Kentucky players acted in the
following manner during their spasmodic session at the bat in the first
inning. Scotty, the lead-of- f
man, was
given a passport. Charlie Haydon sacrificed, Scott advancing to the keystone sack.
Chicken Park, the old
Krupp, then came to the plate and
smacked the first ball pitched to the
right fidld fence. Scotty ambled home
with the first marker and Curt took
his stand at the triple corner whence
he scored on a wild pitch by the
martyr in the box.
Waters was up next. He poped an
easy one to the third baseman. With
two men out and the bases void,
George Park advanced to the rubber
and cracked out a single. He ads
vanced and scored on successive

RECORD

G

The Kernel, following the lead of
tho daily papers, would not feel complete unless It had more space devoted to Hon 707 than to the war in
Europe and domestic disturbances in
America. This busy biddy has now
tied the consecutive daily laying recstraights.
From
ord with eighty-twour contemporaries we glean the following facts:
Hen 707 not only lays eggs, but eats,
drinks and sleeps after the manner of
other chickens. In order to get to
her food when it is covered with foreign substances she scratches. Also,
after every egg she cackles. Maybe
she is only laugihing at the referee
and his assistant accountants.
The following will watch the coop
today to see that the dally egg is laid
as per schedule: Professor R. H.
Professor J. J. Hooper and Ralph
Kenney. Students of the Ag. Department will ask for a holiday in case
the egg is laid.

Contrary to former years, tennis
promises to assume an important position In the realm of sports at the
University this spring. The sport
was revived last season, when our
racquet artists carried away two of
three matches they played.
Five games have already been ar-- l
ranged for this season by the manager, two to be played with Georgetown College, two with Kentucky
and one with Centre College.
Arrangements for a trip to Knoxville,
where the team will engage the University of Tennessee boys, are also
being made.
With Captain Klnne and Paul Anderson, Jr., two of last season's team,
as a nucleus, the University should be
able to account for most of the
matches. Besides these men there
are several others who expect to try
hard for positions. Letters will be
awarded to the team members as in
other sports.
Besides the match games arranged
with the several Kentucky colleges, a
tournament will be held in Lexington,
either on the University courts or at
Woodland Park to decide the champion team of the State. All Kentucky
colleges were asked to join this and
Berea, Georgetown. Centre, Kentucky
Wesleyan and Kentucky responded to
the invitation. Plans for this tourna-- l
ment were outlined about two weeks
ago by representatives of the various
colleges who met here. R. G.

Georgetown, and McClarty Harbison,
