power and leadership
Wildcat leaders' will inaugurate the
1925 football season in Kentucky
afternoon on Stoll Field,
when they meet Maryville College,
ancient foe of Kentucky's teams.
The Crimson squad will arrive here
tonight over the Southern with a special Pullman attached to the Royal
Palm. Word received from the Ma-

ryville manager says that twenty
men will be brought to Lexington,
leaving Knoxville Friday morning.
Stoll Field, with a carpet of the
Grass, is ready for the
i. bluest Blue
kickoff and McLean stadium, immense
. and beautiful,
is ready to- welcome
in the 1925 football season and the
new students as well as the old ones.
Three Veterans Back
Despite the fact that Sanders, the
immortal captain of 1924, Curtis
Sauer and Turner Gregg will not be
back, the Blue antt White will trot
. upon the field tomorrow with three
veterans of two years ago in the

fold.
Evans, "Big" Ed Stephenson and
Jimmy Cammack.
On September 7, the initial football practice was held and since then
the Blue and White warriors have
been put through a hard early training period. Under the hands of the
four coaches, Alford, Eklund; Pribble,
Head Coach Murphy, and Bruce Fuller
volunteer helper, the men have received the most intense training ever
givn a Wildcat squad.
Maryville will have a light team,
much lighter than the one brought
here two years ago, but' a report received by the Kernel Sport Editor
says the Crimson coach will depend
upon speed and skill to win. McMur-raMaryville's star halfback, will
be missing from the lineup and fans
who saw this player perform in '23
know he is a great loss to the team.
Thrower, leading tackle, will also be
missed. Considering the new material
which has been reporting, and the reserves from last season, the report
from Maryville is that they will be
well fortified when they lineup on Stoll
Field tomorrow.
The Crimson's leading men are:
Stone, center; Gamble, fullback; Hamilton, tackle; Shores, end; Cartwright,
end. Other good men who may get
in the lineup are Crawford, Holland,
Proffitt, McCall, veterans, and G.
Crawford, B. Climens, Davis, Puff,
Harvey and Grasland.
Kentucky Is Ready
As for Kentucky, the fans and students that have watched the scrimmages being held daily on old Stoll
Field will know that it will be hard
for any team on Kentucky's card to
stop the Blue and White's rush, and
that it will be as hard a job for op- -

It's been a mighty long time since we uw a real, ihoaett to. goodness football game,,but we're bound to see one tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when
Maryville College invades Kentucky's soil to do battle with Murphy's Wildcats.

In the case of blocked kicks,
it is suggested that if the ball does
not cross the line of scrimmage it
shall belong (to the side which recovered it. If, however, the kicking side
recovers the ball it shall count as another down. If the kick is only partially blocked and crosses the line of
scrimmage it is proposed that it be
not considered as having been blocked.
3. The committee proposes an impenportant change affecting

penalized five yards but the offensive
team, under these circumstances,
shall not be given first down as formerly. That is, the down will remain
the same unless the yards gained on
the penalty are enough to make it
first down.
4. It is further proposed that doctors or trainers, who wish to come
on the field to assist injured players,
shall be required to report to referee
and to receive his permission before
coming on the field. In most sections
of the country this practice has been
followed in the past and it is well that

Curtis Sanders, powerful Wildcat captain last year and one of the best fullbacks the south has ever seen, has accepted a coaching position in the August
Tilghman High School in Paducah.
Sandy graduated in June and was offered the job in a few weeks. It is
understood that he will teach one or two subjects in connection with his football work.
Somebody told us last year that there could never be another Ed
Gans. Well, probably that's true, but just watch Al Wieman when he
struts his fifty and two on the field before the game tomorrow afternoon. If they don't make a funny feeling run up your spine, you'd better go to a chiropractor for you're not right.
f
An unusual amount of interest is being nanifested in the Chicago gnme on
the third of next month and prospects are that five or six hundred persons will
board the Wildcat Special for the Windy City on the morning of the third.
Preparations are under way for the entertainment of over 2,000 Kentuckians at
the game. The band, accompanied by Sergeant Kennedy, will be taken along to
cheer the crowd.
s

Wildcat supporters will be glad to know that Jesse Nicholas Pumernuckle
Uiffe and his more or less noted brother, John Spillman, warmed Ty Cobb's
bench in. Detroit for'ten days this summer. The veteran Tiger leader has his eye
on the two promising ball players and it is a certainty that they will "go up"
after school is out next June.

Don't forget about tomorrow afternoon. Go, out there with your
yelling clothes on. If you can't get a horn,, get a tin pan. Make some
noise for a good start Is where the race Is won.

Olemson First Foe
Practically every Southern Conference foe of the Wildcats started pracwith Kentucky's
tice simultaneously
eleven on September 7, for that marked
the first day that any Conference member could begin preparations for the
1925 season.
Principal of the Wildcat Conference
opponents this year are V. M. I Alabama, Sewanee nnd Washington & Lee.
Tennessee will come in for some share
of the season's spoils, but right now
they do not seem to have as good a
chance to win football games as they
did last year.
The Virginia. Military Institute squad
entered practice minus nine first string
linemen of last year. About the only
capable men that were left after commencement exercises last year were
Wyndham White, for three seasons one
of the most feared fullbacks in the ConCaldwell, a halfference, Captain-eleback of three gruelling campaigns, and
Barkey and Fain, 1925 ends. Hammonds, last year's captain and sterling
guard, will not answer the bugle call
and Ferguson and Wilson, regular
centers for three years are also on the
Clements and
'.'not returning list."

YOU STUDENT- S-

mhi,

On Monday afternoon Coach Murphy nnd his Blue and Whito coh rti
shifted their nttention to the
field where tomorrow they will bat,
uo Maryville in tho initial opening
grid game of tho season. AlthnmrV
the Wilcats deserted tho battle scarr
ed expanse formerly known as Stoll
rieid, it was by no means lonesome
as uoach Kay Eklund and about 65
Green nnd White nsnirants wnro hnsv
durinir the nftornoon limhirTno- im
and getting into shape for tho com
ing season.
This year tho Kitten elnvnn will
not be as heavy as last year's undefeated eleven, but. they are elongate!
and of the typo that are in demand by
football coaches all over the country
By a ruling of the southern conference, of which Kentucky is n member, the freshmen were not allowed to
start training until the opening day
of school. But from now on until
the opening game, Coach Eklund will
not let up on his charges and when
they go to Richmond to play Eastern
Normal October 3 in the first game,
the Kitten mentor expects to have one!
of the most skilled and fastest yearling elevens in the state.
Every afternoon this week the
Green and White mentor spent most
of the time in giving the new comers
the fundamentals of the game and a
few .pointers on how to run signals.
Passing was stressed considerably by
the Kitten instructor. Punting, tackling, blocking and signal drilling was
the order of work for the initial week
of training and next week it is expected that Eklund will start in to
thin out the large number which is
already present although many more
are expected to report. It is probable
that the frosh coach wil give his squad,
a cut by the middle of next week.
1924 Eleven Strong
Last year's eleven, under the training of Eklund, was one of the best
freshman grid teams seen on Stoll
field in some time and with the prospects to turn out an even better one
pevts to turn out an even better one
this year. Players are here from all
over the state and a few out of state
performers have enrolled for the first,
time. Several
men are out:
for a berth on the eleven and this:
year it is going to mean a fight from
start to finish.
The Kittens last year were undefeated in every branch of sport, except football. With the material on
hand, Coach Eklund should have little difficulty in weaving out a winning
team this season. The most important
game on the schedule this year is
that with the Centre freshmen. Last
year, Eklund's charges won the second game from the Danville boys,
9 to 7, in one of the most spectacular
games played in many years, after
they had tied the first game earlier
in the season here, 7 to 7.
Will Play Five Games
