knew that the first blow was the telling one. Do not think, however, that
the Kentuckians were silent spectators at this aggressive display. They
were in the thick of the fray during
every minute of the clash.
Ireland was the offensive star of the
encounter.
He eluded the grappling
guards to perfection and caused the
scorekeeper to register two points for
Kentucky nearly every time lie shot.
Doc and Dutch were there on the
defense. They held the
Reder, the boast of Tennessee, to one
goal for the whole game. As Knoxville has good reason for being proud
of Reeder, the vigilant eye kept on
him by Rodes and Schrader no doubt
helped Kentucky greatly.

been directed to make recommendations regarding the adoption of tho
military system, known as tho 'Reserve Officers Training Corps,' which

"1. That the proper authority of

senior division of tho Reserve Officers'
Training Corps in conformity with
existing Federal law and tho regulations as promulgated by the Secretary

READY FOR CURTAIN

Seven Weeks of Drilling Put
Cast In Shape For
Great Play
SEATS

NOW ON SALE

Everything Is in readiness for the
production of "The Lion and tho
Mouse" Saturday evening at the Op
era House. The cast has been drilled
unceasingly for the past seven weeka
and all arrangements are complete for
the staging of the biggest success The
Strollers have put over.
Much has been written in the Ker
nel concerning the play, but the half
has not been said. One of the old
Strollers, who made dramatic history
himself while In the University, said
last week at a rehearsal. "If the people who see the Strollers play did not
know they were witnessing amateur
work they would not recognize it as
such. It is almost unbelievable that
could be so proficient."

There are reasons for the success
organization.
In the first
place, it lias always been a success
and has traditions behind it. The club
would be put to shame with anything
s
production. The
less than a
Lexington public and the students of
the University go to see The Strollers on the reputation they have made
in other years.
"The Lion and the
Mouse" will add as much to that reputation as "Father and the Boys" added last year. A great many of the
friends of The Strollers told them last
year that they doubted if their play
would ever be surpassed. This year's
cast and manager and adviser believe
that this play has surpassed It in rehearsal and will do so on the stage.
The glorious rep of the organization
will be given another boost.
The Kernel takes this opportunity
to warn all students again that they
may save themselves a great deal of
regret if they get their seats reserved
early. It is dangerous to miss a University play, for it furnishes campus
talk for the next month after it is
produced. Tho girls will all be there;
the University orchestra will dispense
sweet strains of seductive music and
the gallery gods will make the opera
