period while uhe rules of the new game
were explained to the Wildcats.
Mr.
Lyle recalls that there were a mini- her of minor infractions of the rules,
this being inconsequential feature of
the game inasmuch as Kentucky won.
It may interest some of our present
students and some of our younger
alumni to know that Kentucky won
orfin Georgetown and that she had
neither a knoweldge of the game as it
was played nor a coach.
"Later on Mr. Lyle was very prom-- !
ment in the military department. He
was captain of the artillery for three
years and senior officer of the battalion for two years. He was also some
star on the track and gridiron. Therefore Mr. Lyle feels that his participation in the athletics of the University
brought to him a pride and a spirit of
loyalty which is probably the base of
his very deep affection for the school.
"In the second place he savs he

for his education
"In the third place, he says that
