THE KENTUCKY
LARGE

S9UAD OF CATS.

(Continued from Page 1)
The work of Rodes at quarter is
brilliant. Rodes' happy faculty of being able to shoot place and drop kicks
between the uprights and above the
horizontal from almost any position
on the field will be a factor in gain-lamany an extra point for the Blue
and White this fall In the big team
contests he Is going to face.
Hlckerson and Dempsey, tne big
Freshman linesmen, are out, but will
require a good deal of work to get
Into the best of condition.
For the Freshmen,
Polndexter,
Mcllvain and Davidson continue in
the limelight for backfleld position.
Linesmen who are being watched with
the greatest amount of interest are
Clements, Simmons and Vanderen.
Gardner, a plucky Eminence lad, is
speedy and is showing up best for
the quarterback position at present.
Coach Tlgert says that he does not
know much about the Butler College
team this year. State defeated the
Indianapolis lads two years ago, 21
to 7, in the opening game of the season. They may spring some surprise
this year. The seven points they garnered then, it will be remembered,
were made after Schrader had dropped
the ball on the Butler
line
and one of their team recovered it
and made a ninety-yarrun for a
touchdown.
Fay O. Townes, the new stydent
manager, is working harder and getting his assistants to put more vim
Into their duties than any manager
that has preceded him in many a day.
Frank Crum, Homer Combest and E.
V. Hopkins have been chosen assistant managers.

Townes also has offered the valuable
suggestion, which will be put Into effect In due time, of giving the new
Barker Stadium a blue and white effect. The small posts around the
field will be painted white and the
large corner posts will be adorned
with a coat of blue. Blue paint will
be administered to the lower half of
the goal posts and a white coat will
be given the crossbar and the projection above this.
Plans are being pushed for a big
day on October 2, when the opening
game will be played with Butler. Hon.
E. B. Morrow and Hon. A. O. Stanley,
the Republican and Democratic candidates, respectively, for Governor, in
all probability will be present. Judge
Barker, for whom the new field has

been named, is down for a speech and
with the others named In attendance,
oratory Is expected to vie with football for honors that afternoon.
With nearly sixty men out every
afternoon in football togs, and the
of
interest being
unusual amount
shown by both old and new students,
football prospects for Kentucky State
have never looked brighter.

SIGN POSTS AND
BULLETIN BOARDS
A story is told of how a man who
later became famous was once lost
In a snow storm when he was a boy

and how he found his way home by
climbing up a sign post and touching
the pointing hand, which showed him
the direction to his home. Ever afterwards in his life he tried to govern
his actions by events which seemed
to bo sign posts pointing to the correct course of action. Poets also like
to use the figure of the sign post and
frequent allusions to this are found
Unfortunately for
In all literature.
poetry and romance, the sign post Is
now only a curious relic of the past.
Bulletin boards, too, were once one
In
f the most important institutions
all cities. In the good old days
newspapers were printed in such
great numbers as they are now, all
notices and announcements were made
on quaint old bulletin boards, with
their "Hear ye," and "Be it known to
all men" notices plastered upon them.
The chief fault with these bulletin
boards was that they reached such a
small number of people, and one does
not regret that they with all their
quaintness have been
en supplanted by the less poetic,
but far more efficient newspapers of
today. A few of these interesting old
bulletin boards may yet be seen on
the campus and to one interested in
antiques and in relics of past days
they present an interesting sight.
Notices to the effect that "Mrs. K.
has rooms for rent close to the University campus," that "J. D. X. has a
'rigonometry to sell, which Is in good
condition," and that "Mr. B., room
35 Old Dorm, Is in the laundry business," may be deciphered among the
mass of notices of all shapes, kinds
and styles, which cover the face of the
board and each other in such a way
that it furnishes for one who has an
hour to spend, an interesting puzzle
to determine what the advertisements
mean. Many other notices may be
found scattered on the ground in all

'Bill' Noel Leaves For Eastern Kentucky to Work in
Elkhorn Coal Field
The members of last year's graduating class In the College of Mines and
Metallurgy haye all received Imv
portant and lucrative positions in the
various mining and metallurgical districts of the United States. Nearly
all of the undergraduates were located
in good positions during the summer,
and all, without exception, received
offers of employment for next summer.
Walter F. Hanley is engineer with
the Elkhorn Mining Corporation,
which is one of the large mining corporations of the country. This company, which only started business in
June, 1913, has since that time ex$2,000,000 in
pended approximately
tenement houses, tipples and plant
eulpment, and the construction of a
high 'tension line for the carrying of electric current from' Jenkins, Ky., to Beaver Creek, In order to
successfully operate the mines.
H. L. Noel Is assistant engineer for
the W. G. Duncan Coal Co., Greenville, Ky. This Is one of the modern,
mining companies in Western Kentucky and at present is spending thousands of dollars installing the
'atest and most improved type of mine
equipment.
G. C. Rogers, a Lexington man, is
engineer with the American Zinc Company, at Mascot, Tenn., which is the
largest plant of its kind in the world,
and its operations include ore mining
and ore dressing.
W. L. Noel, who is an expert lino- type operator, accepted a temporary
position with the Cincinnati Enquirer
during the summer, but left a few
days ago for the Elkhorn coal field of

Louis Browns this fall, is highly

re-

garded by the St. Louis sporting writers. An unsigned letter In the Sporting News, published under a St. Louis
date line of September 13, says:
"The Browns are indulging in a delayed spurt, having won five games In
a row since they made their final appearance of the season at home. The
Labor Day games at Detroit were
rained out and it was a hard blow, for
a packed house would have seen them
play. President Hedges somewhat recouped the loss suffered by his treasury by leaving Pitcher Grover Loud- ermllk with the Detroit Club for a
cash consideration. Some of the critics declared It was evidence that Mr.
Hedges cares for nothing but the coin
r
selling the last
on his
staff, they said, indicated the man is
money mad. And Manager Branch
Rickey immediately produced two new
who proceeded to win
their games.
"These newcomers were Jim Park
and Tim McCabe and their victories
vere registered at Cleveland. Both
looked mighty good, Park especially.
He should have had a 1 to 0 victory
in nine Innings over the Indians, but
a bobble behind him allowed a run and
the game went into extra innings, with
Park driving over a couple of runs
to cinch it finally. The same Park
got his second trial against the Athletics on Saturday and went badly,
but he still looks like a pitcher fit
to tie to, and he still is a
In the ''Major League Notes" the
News of the same issue says:
"Kentucky friends of Jim Park in St.
Louis asked Manager Rickey to pitch
him in one of the home games, but
Rickey said the youngster from Lexington hadn't shown him anything.
Getting on foreign ground, however; he
decided to give him a chance and he
was sent in against Cleveland on September 7. Park beat the Indians 4
to 1 in eleven innings and but for errors would have won his game 1 to 0
in nine rounds. Besides pitching a
good game he showed strong with the
bat, his double in the eleventh Inning
scoring two runs." Lexington Herald.
