If dope means anything, and apparently it does not, the University of
Kentucky Kittens should defeat the
Centre Lieutenants Saturday when
the Eklundmen go to Danville for the
last game of Kentucky's season.
The Georgetown Tiger Cubs defeated the Centre Frosh 63 to 0 while the
best the Cubs could do with Eklund's
proteges was to take their measure,
9 to 0. But Georgetown made only 6
first downs to Centre's 5 and scored
most of their points on intercepted
passes.
The Kittens are furious. Last Saturday the freshman grid warriors in
the stands were gritting their teeth
and several were heard to remark that
they wanted to go in and show some
fight.
The illness of Harvey Stone, who
underwent an operation at the Good
Samaritan hospital last week, will
handicap the Kittens considerably.

Stone is a bulwark in the line and is
a big help in opening holes for Len
Miller, Jeffries, Covington and company to go through.
After playing poor football against
Georgetown the Kittens came back
two weeks ago and defeated Butler
freshmen 7 to 0. Mcintosh, the line
plunging full back from Evansviile,
was the star of that game. When the
fast backs were unable to get away
Mcintosh put liis head down like a
bull and plowed through the line for
gain after gain.
The Kittens can beat the Centre
Looies. ,They are mad enough to do
it and they will fight.
The starting lineup will probably
be Jeffries, Covington, Mcintosh and
Captain Len Miller in the backfield
and Lyons and Tuttle at ends, Walters
at one tacke and either Thompson or
Woodall at the other; Drury and
at guards; Franklin or Eastwood at center.

The University of Kentucky basket
ball team, known throughout the
South as the Wildcats, Blue Birds,
Blue Devils, Felines and what not, will
play at least 13 basketball games during the coming winter season on the
hardwood floor, it was learned yesterday.
Other games are expected to
be added to the list.
Starting off with Cincinnati here

will be those with Indiana and Princeton Universities December 21 and 31;
University of Florida, January 3;

start practice until January 1, is expected to be able to play every conference battle. Paul Jenkins will be
back at guard, and Elis will be back
in the fold at forward. Ropke, in all
probability, will be fighting for a
place on the team, and whether he wil
make a center or back guard is a

question. Frank Phipps, it is understood, will be a candidate for a back
guard position, and he should make
a strong bid for such. Dick Elliott
will also be a candidate for this position.
The boys expect to start practice
within the next few days, although
they will hold only a few sessions
each week for a while. The schedule
as it now stands is as follows:
