Tennessee was humbled and now it
is Centre's time.
Tonight the Wildcats will meet Centre on the home floor. The visitors are
sure of the state championship and
the Wildcats are sure of their ability
to head it this way. Already the Danville boys have dope on the Kentuck-lans- ,
but the U. K. team insists this
dope will be worthless if Centre is
stopped with enough force Thursday
night. Centre has defeated Georgetown and Transylvania this season
and has one victory over the Wildcats
to her credit.

FAVORITES

In the most heated contest yet held
at the University for the election of
the student
the most popular
body in chapel Friday morning selected Misses Dorothy Middleton, Ann
Molloy, Helen Taylor, Isabelle Dickey,
Mary Heron, Dorothy Walker, and
Nancy Buckner as the special favorites of 1917-1The election, an annual affair to
select young women to adorn the
pages of the University year book,
the Kentuckian, was intensely interesting this time, on account of the
abundant supply of popular girls, and
Sam Morton,
the scarcity of boys.
f
of the Kentuckian, presided over the election Friday morning. Prior to the voting Mr Morton
said the nominees should not only be
popular but attractive, or better,
"wonderfully beautiful." As a result,
the seven young women were chosen.
A representative
from each class
was selected to total the votes received. These men said tho number of
nominees was astounding and it seem
ed that every girl in tho University
was considered by one person at least
us "wonderfully beautiful."
It was the original intention of the
Kentuckian staff to select only six
young women, but the unexpected
happened and two young women tied
for sixtli pluco, so that both will bo included and tho Beauty Section will
have seven pages instead of six.
