daily, finishing touches are being
applied to the opera "Erniinic,"
which will be presented by the Music
Department of the University at the
Ada Meade theatre on Thursday and
Friday, December 14 and IS. Every
detail will be in readiness for the
opening performance.
Due to a misunderstanding in regard
to royalty on the opera, it was announced a few days ago that the
name would be changed to "The Two
Vagabonds."
This was considered
inexpedient, however, and the original
name will be employed. The mangiving
agement also contemplated
three evening performances, but de
cided this week to stage the opera on
only two nights. This will cause seats
'to sell at a premium, and little diffi- culty will be encountered in disposing of every available scat.

After a series- of
several days, the part of Ravcnnes, one
about whom the
of the principals
plot is woven, has been warded to
John Albright, who took one of the
leading parts in the last Stroller presentation. This is the character played
by De Wolf Hopper in the original
cast, while the part of Cadeaux, made
famous by Francis Wilson, will be
portrayed by Jack Daihringer, who
obtained operatic laurels in "Robin
Hood" and "The Mikado."
Miss Josephine Frazier, of Padu-cawill make her debut in University
activities in the person of Erminie, for
whom the opera is named. This part
was formerly played by Lillian Russell.
The remainder of the cast is:
Cerise Marcel, Etinis Denton; Marie,
Leslie Wonthington; Javotte, Edna

APPRECIATION

After a season that brought to the

the season 1922 with a decisive victory
by the score of 20-over the University of Tennessee Yearlings on Stoll
Field last Saturday. The Kittens,
with an. attack that swept aside all
opposition, and a defense that stopped
the enemy time after time, suffered
only one defeat in seven contests. The
Centre Freshmen, handed the Kittens
defeat, but the Blue and White
a
Yearlings gained ample revenge and
made history when they turned the tables on 'the Lieutenants, winning over
the young Colonels to the tune of
the first dmc that a Centre eleven
has suffered defeat to a Kentucky
team since 1916.
At the start of the season about 70
aspirants reported to Coach Webb,
and "Dick" was just about snowed
under with the responsibilities result
ing from such a large number of can
didates. The Athlotic Council en
gaged "Doc" Rodes as Yearling hack- field and assistant coach 'to help Webb
and with the squad dwindling down
to 40 candidates, the Frosh mentors
were able to give more time to the
first termers.
After a couple of weeks of preparatory workouts, two elevens were selected, one, 'the heavy team, going to
Frankfort
and handing the High
School elven of the Capital City a
33-trouncing, while the other, a light
team, forced the Paris High eleven
to take the short end of a 26-count.

to submit through the columns
of the Kernel an estimate of the approximate cost of producing the annual.
The
contract for the engraving
signed with the Stafford Engraving
Company, of Indianapolis, amounts to
$2,000, which includes all engraving
work. The contract for the printing
and binding of the book, as signed
with the Benson Printing Company,
of Nashville, Tenn., amounts to $3,500,
and incidental expenses of the annual
including local printing, advertising,
stationery, freight and office expenses
will amount to not less than $600.
The sum of these expenses amounts
to $6,000 for the presentation of the

it has
been estimated that a "U" shaped con-

for 15,000 spectators can be built for
approximately
$100,000 to $125,000
which would be about $7.50 per seat.
With a football team of the quality
that Kentucky promises to have next
year and a few big games on the home
ground,, the structure could be paid
for in one or two seasons and thereafter would make the athletic department
and enable the
University to take its rightful place
with the leading colleges and universities of the south in the athletic line.
It is pointed out that practically
every State University in the South,
as well as the other large schools,
either have stadiums or are planning
to build them. Vauderhilt has a new
structure and likewise Tennessee. The
University of Cincinnati is planning to
build one and the general trend thru-ou- t
the country is forever increasing
crowds at college football games.

Two hundred members of the University faculty and staff with their
wives gathered Thursday
night at
Maxwelton, the home of the president
to show their sincere appreciation of
the new honor bestowed upon Dr.
Frank L. McVey. In behalf of the
faculty Dean Boyd presented an
eighteenth century Persian silver incense box, in token of their appreciation. It is a beautifully engraved
antique, bearing the following inscription: "To F. L. McVey, from the faculty of the University of Kentucky.
In commemoration of his election to
the presidency of the National Asso
ciation of State Universities."
Dean Boyd said in the presentation
that his election was not considered
the greatest honor that had come to
the president or Would come, but
they only wished to take this occasion
to show the appreciation and love of
the faculty.
Dr. McVey expressed his apprecia
tion of the
with which
he has met, adding that in
tion with sympathy and kindness any
institution could be made great. Even
though the university lacks money, a
powerful factor, it is strongly in pos
session of these three qualities.

Kditor Kentucky Kernel:
A SQUARE DEAL
In the last issue of the Kernel there
appeared an editorial directed against
the Military Department. The editor
ial sided with the Kcntuckian staff in
a controversy between that staff and
the personnel of the Military Department. A publication, such as the Kernel, approaching
the problem with
open mind and considering a question
from all sides, should not score the
Military department and its personnel,
basing their facts on hearsay.
The differences have been entirely
between the students of the Battalion
and the Kcntuckian, and the Kernel
has taken a view which is open to
serious issue when it drags the Military Department, as a department, into controversy between students. We
feel it our duty under the circumstances to correct certain statements.
It is our desire to state simply facts.
If the persons responsible for the
editorial which says, "There is now
being circulated among the members
of the University Battalion, a petition
which, when signed by a certain number of cadets, will boycott the sale
of the 1923 Kcntuckian," had read the
petition which was published in the
same issue of the Kernel, they would
not have put in print such an inaccurate statement.
We agree with the Kernel in its
opinion of a boycott of t he Kcntuckian, which the Military Department
supposedly was promoting. No such
action was ever contemplated by the
department or the Cadet officers of the
Using a boycott in this
Battalion.
case would be very disloyal. We do
not think the sales might be affected
as we indicated, nor by any agreement by the various individuals who
might feel that activities in which they
take a large interest were not fairly
presented in the Kentuckiau.
We do not claim that we advertise
the University more than any other
department, but we help, and we feel
that we should get the credit and consideration due us The Military department is just as much a student
as the Athletic Department. It
cannot be classed with the colleges.
It is a feature department and should
be so considered. The baud is in demand for all kinds of ceremonies, pep
meetings, and athletic contests. The
Batallion is the only student group in
the University that can be reached by
orders and turned out on occasions
when the University should be represented. Interest in a Battalion is
clearly shown by the students and
townspeople in. the competitive drill
and field day exercises, by their large
attendance on such occasions.
There is no admission charge at any
of these performances. The Battalion
has no source of income. It cannot

LOSES LAST

The individual star of the contest
Bruce Fuller, playing his last
contest for the Blue and White. His
long broken field runs furnished the
spectacular element for the spectators.
Twice he struggled through practically the entire Volunteer team for large
gains and was stopped with only the
safety man between him and the coveted mark.
The two elevens, witli weights about
equal, battled
through the entire
game with never a large advantage on
either side.
The Cats showed a
marked superiority in the line and
the Bk-.- and White backs had little
difficulty in plunging through
the
Volunteer forward wall for the first
score of the game. On the other hand,
the Volunteers were best at the aerial
game and skirting the flanks. The
first Tennessee score came this route
and the second indirectly in the same
manner.
Cats Start March
The Wildcat score came in the initial period, when after an exchange
of punts with the honors about equal
the Cat backs started a march from
d
their 29 yard line to Tennessee's
mark, where Fuller carried the
oval over. Fuller kicked goal.
Both the Volunteer markers came
in the second quarter. With the ball
in midfield Campbell passed 40 yards
to Lane who ran over for the score.
After the kickoff by means of a series of fake plays coupled with a pass,
Campbell to Clayton, which netted
the Volunteers 20 yards, the Tennes-sean- s
worked the oval to the Cat
line. Campbell then crossed the
line for the second touch-dowon a
fake play. Clayton kicked goal after
each touchdown.
Campbell, Smith and Clayton were
the luminaries for the Vols in the
backfield. Holt and Lane, mammoth
ends, were down after every kick and
handled Campbell's passes in a wonderful manner. Captain Pribble,
