A building such as the one proposed would provide practice facilities during inclement weather
for all University athletic squads.
It would also Include dressing and
shower rooms, equipment rooms and
offices for the athletic department.
According to Coach Wynne, the
need for a place to practice during
the winter months is very great
and provision for such facilities
would make for a better team. The
building would also provide a place
for early training of track squads.

By KALPU JOHNSON
Kentucky's "Undefeated"
Wildcats journey today to Cincinnati
where they will meet St. Xavier
tonight in their first away from
home game of the season. The
Musketeers are not slated to give
the Cats much of a workout, so it
is probable that the reserve squad
will be given another test in an
effort to whip them into line for
the strenuous campaign to come.

Those who find it impossible
to attend the pigskin battle between Kentucky's Wildcats and
Xavier University need not be
disappointed entirely.
Radio station WLAP announced Wednesday that it would carry a
description of
the game. The game is to be
played in Cincinnati tonight,
with the kick-o- ff
taking place at
7:30 p. m Lexington time.
play-by-pl- ay

Despite numerous injuries, the
Wildcat squad is actually in good
shape. For the first time since the
season started, Lexie Potter, slated
for a regular guard position, is
back in harness and working out.
His work during the week with the
second team was good and he is
willing to go the limit on that
"bad knee."
Homer Nicholas regular guard
has a sprained finger. He had the
same sprained finger before he entered the game with Maryville, but
Maryvilie linemen reported that he
was the toughest man they faced.
He will probably see service in the
Xavier game. At least the only reason he will be kept on the sidelines
is because he may not be needed.
The "charley-hors- e"
acquired by
Earl Sands is definitely on the
mend. He is ready to play ball if
he is needed. Aside from these
threj mentioned players the only
other injuries are those petty
things that are to be found in every
fooiball camp
they play despite
them.
During the week the second and
third teams were put through
strenuous workouts.
Daily scrimmage and fundamentals have been
poured to them. The hardy frosh
were used as shock troops in an effort to stop them and time after
time they did. but the reserves are
progressing rapidly. Jimmy
especially showed a great
improvement in the
department in the practice sessions.
The work they did on forward
passes looked good.
However, it
