Tilt

Discussing prospects of Southern
football teams this year,
Sterling Anderson, Tennessee sports
writer, says the following about the
University of Kentucky:
"Kentucky last year had fine material.
Internal dissention ruined
the season. This year a new staff
of coaches with a new and sound
system of Illinois football is on
hand at the Lexington school.
Three Illinois men, one the head
freshman football coach, took over
the helm last spring and held an
extended practice session. Kentucky
had a fine freshman team and they
will be hard to stop this year. If
the Vols think otherwise, they're
liable to eat the ashes of defeat for
Thanksgiving dinner."
