and

Kentucky basketball auditorium will
have finished their labors by Saturday
and will be supplanted by a force of
more than twenty bricklayers who will
rush the jub to completion as soon as
humanly possible.
The foundation, which is made of
grey concrete, reinforced with steel,
is a masterpiece in concrete architecture in which beauty is combined with
sturdiness. The outside surface is
finished to have the appearance of
blocks which greatly adds to the appearance of the structure.
Contracts will be let early this week
for the brick and the entir building
should 'be ready for use not later than
January 1. It is understood that the
first $40,000 collected by the Stadium
Committee will be applied to the payment on the basketball building but
other plans are on foot now to raise
the remaining $15,000 necessary to
meet the additional cost of the building. The Athletic Council has agreed
to turn over the net receipts from the
basketball games this year to the
building fund. This promises to be a
very profitable source of funds, for
the crowds at the games this year
should be far in excess of those of
any previous years.
A grand total of $188,000 has been
pledged to the Stadium Fund with

subscriptions

Four thousand dollars in four years
the quota set for the freshman class
of the University in contribution to
the stadium fund. Forty leaders of
the freshman class, representing both
fraternity and
groups,
pledged themselves at a luncheon
meeting Saturday to work among the
other 800 members to raise the quota
in order to give
the class of 1927
credit for the erection of the basketball building now under construction.

A full meeting of the freshman
class will .be held October 23 at 12:45
o'clock to vote on the proposition.
Those who were present at the lunch-jo- n

fellow classmates to arouse enthusiasm

Enthusiasm and spirit at the luncheon were splendid, every student who

Six of the fairest and most beautiful of the six hundred co-eof the

Unicrsity of Kentucky were chosen
Tuesday in the annual contest, held
on the campus by the Kentuckian
staff. Enthusiasm reached its highest degree when the report was made
Tuesday night that the pictures of the
following winners would adorn the
beauty section of the 1924 annual:
Ann Shropshire, of Versailles, Martha
Pate, of Hartford; Madelyri Arthur,
of Ashland;
Mildred Cowgell, of
Owensboro; Frances Smith, of Lexington, and Zelma Hall, of Georgetown.
Heretofore the annual contests, held
for members of the fairer sex, were to
determine the popularity of the six
chosen. As this is the first beauty
contest held in many years, a great
deal of interest has been stimulated
from the result.
Miss Shropshire, who received the
largest number of votes, is a sophomore in the College of Arts and
Sciences. She is a member of Chi
Omega fraternity and a sponsor in
company D, third platoon of the cadet
battalion.
Miss Pate, a senior in the College
of Agriculture, ran second. She is a
member of the Alpha Gamma Delta
fraternity and has been sponsor for
the band for two years. She was voted the. second most popular girl in the

r

--

Here

The freshmen football team will encounter its first hard opposition of
the season when it meets the Centre
Lieutenants Saturday afternoon. The
game will be played as a preliminary
to the Varsity, Maryvillc struggle, but
as is often true in boxing the preliminaries are sometimes as good if not
better than the main bout.
Nothing definite has ibeen heard
from Centre as to the strength of the
team but from all press dope they have
a very strong aggregation. This game
will determine the strength of the Kittens in the minds of the people from
the outside and Coach Huchheit does
not intend for them to be disappointed.

There is only one injury in the
yearling's camp and that is very slight.
Mandt hurt his ankle in the last game
and it has been troubling him some
this week, but he is expected .to start
position in
at his regular
the game Saturday.
The lineup will ibe practically the
same as that of the Eastern Normal
game. Arnold has been working well
in the scrimmages and will likely get
a chance to show his ability against
the Lieutenants. Captain Vossmeyer
is still showing his great spirit as well
us his playing, and will be on left end
to encourage his men on.
