MOST DRAMATIC GAME

COACH BUCHHEIT AND HIS CHAMPIONS

AT SOUTHERN STATION

IN BASKETBALL HISTORY

Largest

King Tosses Winning Goal
With The Score
a Tie
PRAISE FOR BUCHHEIT
They went, they saw, and they conquered!
The Wildcats, atfirst doped as the
dark horse 'of the tourney, won the
basketball championship
in the I finals. from the quintet representing the University of( Georgia,
Tuesday night, in Atlanta, by a score
of 20 to 19, after decisively defeating
the teams from Tulane, Mercer and
Mississippi A. and M. by large scores.
The game was the most dramatic
ever recorded in Southern basketball
history. All through the game Kentucky had the lead by one or two
points except at the outset, when for a
minute she held her opponents to a
score of 4 to 0. Ina minute the crowd
from Athens had run up five points,
but King slipped over a sphere for a
6 to 5 count.
Another goal by each
side, and the half ended 8 to 7, with
the Blue and White in the lead.
The latter half was a repetition of
.the first. The floor work of Lavin in
breaking up Georgials pass game time
after time, the work of the triple
'King, Hayden and Adklns on goal
shooting and perfect passing, together
with the steady yet excellent work of
Itidgeway, kept in check the work of
the Georgians and defeated them by a
small margin, only after the final pis
tol of the timer.
According to the sport1 writers:
"With-twentseconds to play, Adklns,
waiting under the Kentucky basket,
tried a pass. As he started to mako
his shot, Cheeves, Georgia guard,
fouled him. The referee's whistle
blew and King stepped up. for a 'foul
try. Just as King raised his arms to
shoot, the pistol of the timer was discharged."
"King paused with the score tied.
Then he was allowed his shot and
made It. It was the grandest exhibition of nervQ,one would want to see."
Thus ended the conlest 20 to 19
hnd Kentucky became the champion
b'asketeers of the entire Southland.
Too nuch praise can ot bo given to
Coach Buchheit. Ho won the game.
Coming from the University of Illinois,
last year, he developed a great team,
which gavo the other teams a run Xor
their money. This year this same
team, with one or two additions,
brought home the loving cup and the
laurels from Atlanta. Yet he, In his
usual modest manner,. smiles and says
little. He's happy.
All tlio while did the student body
know that tlio University of Kentucky
had the best team and coach in the
South, and now the rest of the land
knows It.

The final work on the Kentucklan
was completed when the "dummies"
were mailed to tho Benson Printing
Company, last Friday, and, according
to the promises made by both the engraving and printing 'companies the
book may bo expected in May. The
company doing the work for this
year's annual made the statement that
this is the earliest that any book the
size of the Kentucklan has come into
their hands.
The book will have many new features that will not only distinguish it
from any other Kentucklan but from
annuals of any other college. Tho
tinted pictures of the winners of the
popularity contest is one of tliem.
Tho staff has done Its part in getting
tho bdbk in excellent shapo early In

tho student body to carry out its part
of tho work and help make the year
book a success. All organizations that
have bought pages are earnestly requested to PAY for their reservations
AT ONCE, so as nqt to hold up tho
work and delay the publication.
Unless this Is done, as has boon
Tho Kernel, each page
