u

Among the fraternities and clubs of
the University of Kentucky there are
eleven which have their own houses,
and thus provide living quarters for
one hundred and sixty students who
otherwise would be scattered over the
city, living with private families.
iThe result of these hundred and
sixty men living in their own houses,
is that it not only helps solve the
dormitory question, which is causing
University much concern, but provides
the University with a means whereby
visiting prospective students may bo
entertained, 'the prospect thus become
more thoroughly acquainted with the
University before entering it.
At the fraternity or club there Is an
organized effort to see that men tako
part in student activity and maintain
scholarship. And where the members
of a fraternity or club are living together they are more able to maintain
an organized body and enforce rules
that in a way tako the place of the protection and euro that they would receive df they were living at hom.

and clubs that are living In their own

TEAMWORK

Uncorking a brand of basketball
that astonished a record crowd of spectators and snowed under their opmercilessly
ponents tho Wildcats
slaughtered the University of Chata-noog- a
Moccasins last Friday night by
the score oM2 to 10. The Tennessee
quintet played fust and displayed
form, but at no time were they able to
cope with the superior floor work and
goal shooting of the Kentuckians.
Chattanooga made many attempts at
long shots but none of them were
successful. They managed to score
three field goals and four fouls in the
first half, but in the second period the
Wildcats held them scoreless. The
local team piled up nineteen field goals
and King shot four fouls out of six

of Kentucky's
points were made in the second half.
The Wildcats went into the game
believing that they were going up
aga'inst a team that was one of the
best in tho Soulh, as Chattanooga was
defeated by Vanderbilt by only seven
points. Both teams started off fast
and for a time it looked as if Coach
Buchheit's crew was going to have
the battle of its career. At no time did
either team slow down even to the
last minute of play. Although the
score was one sided the game was full
of thrills and kept the attention of the
spectators focused upon the basketeers
until the final gun was fired.
o

BEARCATSWEDNESDAY
In the next four games which the
Wildcats play they will meet the hardest opposition of the season. Wednesday night they will invade tho den of
the Bearcats at Cincinnati and attempt
to continue their winning streak at the
expense of the Ohlans. Cincinnati has
an unusually strong team this year and
tho Kentuckians will have to exert
themselves to win the game.
Saturday night the Wildcats, for the
first time in history, will play the net
artists representing Alabama Polytechnic Institute of Auburn, Alabama. This
promises to bo one of the fastest
games ever seen on the local floor as
Auburn has already demonstrated that
she has one of the best teams in the
South. Auburn has defeated Mercer,
and tho latter romped over the Golden
Tornado of Georgia Tech.
Saturday night, February 5, tho Volunteers from tho University of Tennessee will make their annual appearance on tho local court. Tho following Tuesday night the Wildcats will
meet the Centre College Colonels at

Adkins led in goal shooting for tho
locals, caging G baskets, most of which
were made from difficult positions. He
was closely seconded by Captain Hayden Avhose stellar playing was a feature of the game. The Wildcat leader
seemed to bo all over the floor at one
tlmo and had no difficulty in making
five goals. Bill King, besides shooting
four field and four foul goals, broke
up play after play for tho Invaders,
and rode their big center throughout
tho game.
Lavin was a thorn in the side of the
visitors, and his spectacular floor work
has never been surpassed on tho local
floor.. Ridgoway played his usual consistent game, breaking up plays for
the Tonnesseeans and taking tho ball
away from them time and again.
As a whole tho team played the best
game that has been seen on the local
floor In many years and should have
no difficulty In carrying off tho Stato
championship.
Tho team work was

KITTEN'S FIRST GAME FINALS HERE IN MAY
In one of the closest and hardest
fought games over played on the local
floor the "Kittens" were defeated by
the girl's Quintet from the University
of Cincinnati Saturday night by tho
score of 11 to 10.' The "Bear kittens"
made the deciding tally in tho last
second of play when a field goal was
tossed by Captain Parker.
The Kentucky girls were in the lead
at the end of tho first half and played
superior ball during the entire game.
Considering that it was the ilrst game
of the season for the Kittens they
played remarkably well and with more

DOES EXTENSION

IRK

Finds That "Kentucky" is
Replacing "State" as
University Title
During the Christmas Holidays the
students of the University organized
and carried out a systematic code of
extension work. Aided by tho various
clubs of the campus, teams were selected to canvas the sections of the
State that they were in during the holidays. Armed with illustrated bulletins of the University and a strong
desire to tell everybody what the University is doing, the students visited
their respective high schools and made
talks to junior and senior classes. In
some instances tho senior classes were
entertained by their Alumni, now students of the University of Kentucky.
Banquets were given, theater parties
were organized and dances held.
Some communities have completely
changed their point of view of the University of Kentucky. In many parts of
the State, and even In Lexington, tho
old name of "State. College," which
clung to tho University for so long, is
being wiped out, tho students report,
and "Kentucky" substituted In Itsstead.
Students visited a number of largo
high schools of tho State, and the report of the Student Committee is indeed very gratifying.
This Student
Committee cooperates with tho Department of University Extension and
other University Departments In carrying on this work. It Is certainly
conunendablo and shows a fine spirit
in tho student body to go out in this
way and undertake to spread tho gospel of the University of Kentucky. This
is the spirit that will make Kentucky
groat and the spirit that will make tho
University of Kentucky ono of tho
great Institutions of tho country.

Announcement, has been made by
the University of the appointment of
various district committees in the
Debating League, which
is being organized tills year in tho
accredited schools of the State as an
extension feature of the University.
The purpose of tho League Is to foster
debate and track work dn athletics in
such schools, as iwell as other activities, among which will be an essay
writing contest.
The State has been tentatively divid
ed into seven districts, as follows: Cen
tral Kentucky district, Northern Kentucky district, Louisville district, Hen- district, Paducah
district, Eastern Kentucky district and
Southeastern district. Each of these
districts has a committee of two or
three members in, charge of the work
to be carried on. Many of the larger
schools have accepted membership in
the League. Berea College, together
with her normal school, has been requested to ally herself with the Southeastern district, since the Executive.
Committee believes that Berea's help
Is necessary to the successful operation of the work In that section of the
State.
