A DANCING HALFBACK

Willie Captain "Floppy" Forquer was running for sheriff, Shipwreck
Kelly was winning track meets, Barnacle Bill Colker was Inspecting
China, and Skipper Ellis Johnson was galloping about a baseball diamond,
Carey Spicer was having his fun in his own way. After winning a tennis
championship one afternoon last summer, Spicer sneaked away to Joy-lan- d
with a certain fair lady and entered a dancing contest. When all
was said and done, Spicer was crowned champion tripper.
TENNESSEE'S TROUBLES
Coach Bob Nevland's troubles if any down at Knoxvllle correspond
with the troubles of Coach Carnage. The Major Is hunting two tackles
and a guard. Mr. Oamage also would appreciate a few extra tackles.
In looking over the 1930 Tennessee roster, Major Neyland finds
Hack, Mack, Dodd, and Disney on deck again. The first three of these
gentlemen have not played in a losing game in the last two years.
Tennessee came her closest to defeat in 1928 in a 0 to 0 tie with Kentucky, and again in 1929 in a 6 to 6 tie with the Wildcats. This will
be Tennessee's last chance to beat Kentucky with one of the best
teams in the Volunteer's history and Kentucky has ideas of her own.
And speaking of material from the freshman ranks the Tennessee
frosh took measure of the Kentucky Kittens, 7 to 6, last year at Knoxvllle.
The Volunteer veteran backfleld is bolstered with Faust, Brackett,
Gillespie and Reincke, quarters; Allen, Blumberg, McColllster, Robinson,
Whittaker, and Warfleld, halfbacks; Cox, Decker and Kohlhose, fullbacks.
Centre College will meet the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, October 4 as one game on one of the most ambitious schedules attempted
by the Colonels in recent years. Centre also plays Northwestern, Kansas
Aggies,. .Wabash, Chattanooga and others.
MAYBE HE'S A WEATHER MAN
"The Georgia Bulldogs this year stand out as the best football team in
the Southern Conference," thus sayeth the illustrious Ed Danforth, Atlanta sports writer, whose business it is to prophecy as to who's who in
the Southern Conference.
If you will recall, Mr. Danforth's solemn warning to a waiting
football world last fall was "Watch Clemson!". And if you remember, Kentucky1 watched Clemson so well on Stoll field that the final
score was 44 to 6 with the Wildcats on the long end. Edward had
a tough time "explaining" that one.
We sincerely believe that Georgia has a wonderful team way down
South on Sanford field. And we would rate the Bulldogs along with
Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but to say that they stand out
as the best in the conference is merely an overflow of home town pride.
Danforth visited the Wildcats here on the third day of practice, and
Coach Gamage did not make a show of his squad. Why should he? Signal practice and blocking was the order of the day. We would like to
have Mr. Danforth up for an afternoon's scrimmage a la Johnson and
Kelly.
COACH DellART TOOTS HIS HORN
What are we supposed to think of Coach Jimmy Dellart's declaration that Duke University will have a whiz of a football team this year,
and that snorts writers are making themselves ridiculous in overlooking
his Carolinians in the championship race? The facts we have to go by
are that Duke won four games and lost six last year and those six by
scores.
DeHart has a string of lettermen back and an excellent group
of sophomores. Kentucky would do well to heed the warning. Anyway, Duke must play six other teams before the Wildcats trek over
to Durham and we expect to have a pretty good idea by then as to
bow well DeHart knows what he is talking about.

year, will assist in Inaugurating the 1930 Southern Conference dispute In a game with South Carolina. This is the only conference
game scheduled before October 4, when nearly all the teams open
their big guns. All of Kentucky's seven conference opponents will
play games September 27.
Georgia Tech is the only other conference team besides Kentucky to
open the 1930 season October 4.

A veritable football feast, appetizing enough to tickle the palate of
the most meticulous sports epicure,
has been prepared for the ensuing
season by the country's major
broadcasting networks.
At least 27 of the country's leading gridiron conflicts will be put on

Broadcasting System, according to

has been overlooked.

Intramural Greeks will have a
new godfather this year. C. W.
Hackensmith. who halls from Ot- 'towa, 111., and claims the Univer
sity of Illinois as his alma mater,
has been named to succeed Sid
Roblson, and Hackensmith plans to
give the university Greeks all the
action they want.
Hackensmlth's ambition to make
Intramural athletics at Kentucky
bigger and better and his genial
manner and appearance
should
make the
participation race more Interesting than
ever.
The schedule for this fall Includes
tennis, golf and cross country. Immediate plans are being made to
get the tennis and golf tournaments
underway and Hackensmith Is anxious for the various fraternities to
get their candidates on the firing
line.
Announcements will be sent
out in the near future with instructions as to registration.
Plans for the intramural participation club race this year includes
all the events of last year with the
exception of roller skating which
failed to arouse much Interest last
year. If there is an addition to the
card, it will be fencing. In view of
the fencing class being started at
the university this year, Hackensmith believes that a tournament
would draw sufficient entries.
Intramural managers of last year
and any sophomores interested are
requested to get in touch with
Hackensmith at once. Any sophomore who wishes to become acquainted with the managing end of
sports and is willing to put in part
of his spare time in the intramural
office Is eligible to try out for one
of the positions.
Trophies will be awarded to Individuals and teams In each of the
sports, Hackensmith said.

to say that Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia had the

to Accept
Championship Crown
By VERNON D. ROOKS

Football days should be happy days at Kentucky this
year. Coach Harry Gamage asks that we do not present
him with the championship until he has a chance to win it
but we feel generous.
True, the season at Kentucky is still two weeks in the
future; and true, there are seven undefeated Southern Conference teams on the Wildcat schedule; and true, there's
many a slip, etc., but we're sorry, Mr. Gamage, but we're
going to parlay your Cats straight on through.
Kentucky has never won the
Southern Conference champion
ship and it seems strange to be
talking of such. The sports writers also are finding it hard to
stomach. They drop subtle hints
about Alabama and Tennessee,
and some even suggest that Kentucky should wait another year.
WE NEED DETECTIVES
Alabama and Tennessee will not
beat Kentucky this year. If there
is a hitch in the conference program it will come at the hands of
Duke, Virginia, V. M. I., or Washington and Lee. Papa Gamage and
Assistant Papa Shively will nurse
the Wildcats day and night for the
two big boys, and we are afraid that
one of the four will slip in and
knock out the props when someone
leaves the gate open. Anyway, it

might not be a bad idea to keep an
eye on the whole bunch.
I know people who will swear that
Gamage has been caught smiling
during practice sessions this year.
He doesn't like to admit It; In fact,
he won't, but some of us believe
that Mr. Gamage has a good football team and knows it.
The only bug-beIn the Wildcat camp seems to be a lack of
reserves at the tackle and halfback positions. Kentucky has one
of the best "first teams" in the
United States.
Gamage insists
that it takes at least two "first
teams to win a championship and
he is spending these warm September afternoons trying to make
twins out of each man on the first
string. He would even make triplets,
