It in said that Robert Spicer has never missed a football or basketball
game since ho has been in the university. No matter how cold and raw the
day, his wlieel chair can bo seen beside the substitute's bench; no matter how
rainy and severe the night, Robert Spicer occupies the place of vantage in
the basketball building and ho is rooting with the crowd, "Yea, Team! Yea,
Team!"
It is such a character as Robert Spicer's which spreads sunshine. In
coming in contact with him we hnve no desire to shirk our duty; he imparts
strength nnd cheer to us and makes us believe "God's in His Heaven and nil's
right with His world."
It can truly be said of him: "His is a good influence nmong us; ho has
n fresh laugh; it does you good to see him; nnd whntevcr his worries he
nlwnys bears a bold and cheerful countenance and takes fortune's worst ns if
it were the showers of spring."

CLEAN SPORTSMANSHIP
The action taken by the State Racing Commission of Kentucky, on Marcli
20, when it ruled from the turf for life four jockeys and three owners and
trainers for participating in the unsportsmanlike method of "fixed" racing.
will stand as a monument to clean sportsmanship in the eyes of all racinji
fans and true lovers of the sport for years to come. This action taken
by the commission not only proves that "underhand" l'acing will not be
tolerated but it urged, in its decision, that "all breeders, owners, trainers
or anyone interesteded in good, clean sport to give at any time information
to the commission for investigation that will aid them to catch and punisl
offenders to the end that racing in Kentucky may be kept on the same higl
plane that it has enjoyed in years past."
The one thing that has ever remained as a detrement to the progress of
professional sports since its beginning has been the criticism by unfortunate
losers in the game, or by persons who do not participate in the sport and know
nothing of its workings, that the commissions which run them are made up of
men who work only toward the end of cheating the public; to obtain money by
the easiest methods possible, but at the same time, through such a source that
the public will not be able to come out openly and call them "crooks."
The action recently taken by the Kentucky Racing Commission should be
enough to prove that, this sentiment is false and unjust. Kentucky has
been sponsoring horse racing for exactly one hundred years and each sue
ceeding year has seen an improvement over its predecessor in the cleanliness
of the sport. This is not only true of the turf but may be seen in all other
professional sports: baseball, football, polo, tennis, field meets and most
of all in the colleges and. universities of the country. The whole world
of sportsmanship is striving for a higher, better standard and they are
climbing nearer to its peak every year.
This inclination toward cleaner sports should be especially practiced
in the colleges and universities of the country because it is the college athlete
who, in most cases, becomes the professional and if he detests crooked
dealings in this line during his school career, he will also hold himself aloof
from it after he enters the world of professional sports.
The sport fanciers of the University of Kentucky wish to commend the
State Racing Commission of Kentucky for its action taken on March 20
and hopes that this decision will remain as an inspiration to all professional
and amateur sports and athletic circles throughout the country.

ROBERT W. SPICER
"Life has its compensations,
For everything we lose, something is gained."
Most of us in this largo world of ours spend half of our time railing
against our Fate, and few there are who have learned the secret of accepting
life as it is and making the best of the defects, but such a one is Robert W.
Spicer, son of Mrs. J. J. Spicer of GQ9 Woodland avenue, this city. One
never realizes how little the physical counts for in life until one knows Robert
Spicer. Though physically a cripple, mentally and spiritually ho is the equal
of any able bodied young man, and far the superior of some.
Mr. Spicer is a junior in the College of Engineering at the University
of Kentucky and is specializing in the the electrical department. He was
recently pledged to Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, the
for which are u standing of 1.8, outstanding ability in both
scholarship and student uctivity, and leadership in the. junior class. In his
particular line of work u pledge must have been one of the highest three in
scholarship and ubility during his junior year. Needless to say Mr. Spicer
more than fulfilled these requirements. It is a distinction for any man to

J.FRANK BATTAILE
Death again grimly took is toll from the ranks of the University of
Kentucky Alumni in the person of J. Frank Battaile, 39 years old, clubman
and proprietor of the University Book Store, when the car which he was
driving left the road nine miles from Lexington on the Richmond pike, and
crashed into a fence about 10:30 o'clock on the morning of Friday, March 26
Mr. Battaile did not meet death immediately but a few minutes after the
crash he leaned back into his seat at the wheel and died while persons were
attempting to lift him from the car.
Mr. Battaile left Lexington, about an hour before the accident, for
Richmond, where he was going on business. He never returned. The cold
hand of death reached out and snatched him into the Great Beyond, that
world of mystery from which no one has ever returned, without so much as
a moment's notice.
r This young man, an alumnus of the university in the class of 1907, at
one time a fellow here, was one of Lexington's most prominent citizens and
one of the university's most ardent supporters. In community circles he held
offices in both, the Rotary club and the Ashland Golf club; was a member
of the the executive committee of the Alumni Association of the University
of Kentucky; was superintendent of the S.unday school of the First Presbyter
inn church; was owner of the University Book Store at 233 West Short
street and also operated a branch of his business on the campus of the
University ot Kentucky. During his college career, Mr. Battaile was a
member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity and during the war was attached
to the intelligence department.
