Freshmen defeated the University of
Tennessee Yearlings 20-last SatUr
day on Stoll Field The Kittens as
a result of their victory hold a clear
title to the Yearling Championship of
the South. "Johnnie" Evans suffered
a broken leg in the first quarter, after
a brilliant exhibition of running and
snagging passes, that netted the
tens considerable yardage and a touch
down.
The oval was in Tennessee's territory the greatest part of the contest,
the Rats being able to work the ball
into Kentucky territory only twice
during the entire fray. The future
Cats displayed a varied attack that
gained ground at all times, using the
aerial way several times with great
success, and skirting the ends or hitting the line for enormous gains.
The first Kitten score came in the
first quarter when Kirwan bucked
over after the Kittens had marched
from midfield by a series of line
.plunges by Tracy and Kirwan, a 20
yard run by Tracy, and two passes by
Kirwan to Evans, each good for 20
yards. Evans missed the goal. After
the kickoff the Kentucky yearlings
started a determined march toward the
Tennessee goal only to have Robin
son intercept a Kitten pass on his own
35 yard line, then running 65 yards
for the score. Bone missed the try for
goal.

were the next victims, suffering a 56-- 0

The KUten mentors 'then began
pointing their charges toward the return game with the Centre Yearlings
Nov. 11. On Armistice day the Green
eleven made history when they trimwinmed the Centre youngsters
ning the first gridiron battle won from
Centre since 1916, and gaining ample
revenge for the previous defeat.
On November 25, the University of
Tennessee Rats trotted out upon the
local lot, undefeated and hailed as
the best Yearling outfit in the southland. About art hour later the same
squad left the field, after suffering
their first defeat, and minus the Southern title. The Kittens emerged victorious 20-but for the breaks of the
game would have probably doubled
the score.
Captain Al Kirwan, fullback, passer
and runner extraord!uary, was one of
the outstanding stars of the season.

with equal ability, and punt.
John "Rabbit" Evans, short and
stocky, weighing 145 pounds and
every inch a star of the first magnitude, piloted the Frosh through their
victorious year. After demonstrating
some of the most brilliant football,
Evans was unfortunate in suffering a
broken leg in the first period of the
Tennessee scrap. He is a field general
that is hard to beat, a broken field
runner hard to stop, and a snagger
of passes who rarely misses any forwards in his immediate vicinity. If
his injury does not prove too serious,
"Rabbit" should prove a very valuable
addition to the Varsity next year.
Dabney, Thomas
Hughes, Tracy,
and Derrick are alt backs of great
promise and with good coaching next
year should develop into real stars.
Sauer, at the center 'position, was a
tower of strength both on the offense
and on the defense. He ranged far
and wide to break up opposing plays,
and was the main dependence for
punting. His long spirals never failed to keep the Kittens out of danger.
Montgomery and Cisco, huge guards,
McFarland and Stepenson, mammoth
tackles, and King and Riffe, made up
a forward wall that was practically
impregnable. The linemen opened
up huge holes whenever called upon
outplaying their opponents in every
contest. King and Riffe were terrors
to the enemies end runs, showing
great skill in stopping the opposing
backs and throwing them for enor
mous losses.
Coons, Shclton,
Warren, Griffin,
and Harbold are emergency men hard
to beat and because of the Kittens
great reserve force, the Frosh were
able to tire out the opposition.
All in all, the Yearling eleven that
represented the Blue and White the
past season was one of the best combi
nations ever seen on Stoll Field. Re
plete with individual stars and yet with
teamwork that swept aside all opposition, the Kitten eleven contributes
to the University a supply from which
to select the future Cat gridders, and
one that will make the regulars
"hump" to hold their positions.
The scores:
Kentucky 33, Frankfort High 0.
Kentucky 26, Paris High 0.
Kentucky 54, Georgetown F. 0.
Kentucky 6, Centre Frosh 14.

HERE ARE LADIES
After several years of diligent study
and profound reflection, I have come
to the conclusion that Kentucky has
the most attractive girls to be found in
any state. This is said straightfor
wardly and not from prejudice; in
fact, so much buttermilk is spouted
upon that one subject that one is
tempted to state the contrary. I do,
hold, however, that their beauty is

pure good looks. California is one;
Georgia, I suspect,
produces two
peaches to one pippin from Kentucky.
The local product receives as a reputation for beauty, the overflow from
her personal charm.
If 'there is any one cause for the
home girl's amazing
deftness for
making men feel boozy, it is probably

she usually says something sensible,

gazing upon a beautiful Cheney period grafonola and then have it uncork

Hon. Augustus McGooglc. It is precisely here that our heroine steps

not foolish enough to act like a "sensible girl." The young lady who is
wise realizes quite keenly that man's
most vulnerable spot is his dignity;
rob him of that and he is deplorably
dull and simple. The scv joust is no
place for intelligence, so she uses foolishnessto his undoing.
In the development of her personal
magnetism, our candidate develops a
brand of conversation that is masterful in is supply of unessential gush.
Yet, it succeeds in obtaining exactly the desired effect; it makes the
less intelligent male feel important.
Her line is open to criticism, but only
envy would prompt a censure of it.

is. however, she is a howling success
If her talk reveals a trifle more energy

THE SEVENTH ART
One of the popular fancies of the
day is the idea that the movies have
a powerful influence on the nation
This is principally bosh. The only
discernible effect of the flivver stage,
is the influence it has on the dress of
women. The contention that men's
dress is directed by movie ideals is
unlikely as actors of that 'trade no
d
males in
toriously the
the world.
Upon the women of the provinces,
however, the movies exert a definite
influence. Some prima donna, fresh
from operatic triumphs in Paris, with
no acting ability, glides gracefully
through five spools of celluloid and
reforms the modesfor women. Or,
a prominent buffon copies a gown
worn by Mrs. Morgan Belmont at the
Bal Bleu, which was in turn a hasty
copy of the dernier cri from Paquin's,
and the wife of the local banker is
enabled to strut her stuff.
This is the effect the movies have
I discount almost wholly the
"immoral" influence they are said to
possess. Little boys have played Infor a long
dian and
while, and the dramatic shadows are
no more to blame than ithe penny- dreadful. Equally puerile, I believe,
is the ideas that boys learn from the
screen anything new in the technique
of
It's a cinch the
girls don't.

FRATERNITIES
ADOPT FOUR ORPHANS

WOMAN'S

Orphans are in vogue this year,
as four of the women's fraternities on
the campus have adopted them. Three
of these children are from the Davis
family, of Wilmore, Ky., and one from
"Irish itown." Although they are not
orphans in the true sense, their parents are unable to care for them and
keep them in school, so the four fra
ternities have assumed the obligation
of their support.
Alpha Xi Delta has adopted Josie
Davis, Kappa Kappa Gamma "Bootsie '

Davis and Chi Omega a little girl
from "Irishtown."
