The campus boasts of no more

im-

portant personage than Jack. Neither
the Commandant nor the President
'holds a higher head. The Seniors in
all their glory, with mustaches and
derbies, corduroys
and canes, are
"small skimpshun" compared to him.
Like George Washington, the
collector of subscriptions to
turkey-buyin- g
funds, Jack has the prerogative of going where he "listeth,"
and making himself at home anywhere from Judge Barker's sanctum
sanctorum to the lowly furnace room.
He is welcome everywhere everywhere except in. Dean Mulecher's German class. The D. of M. has given
up the idea of making a dachshund
out of him, and recently, when Jack
showed
sentiment by barking
in the midst of a German recitation,
the professor expelled him. Branded
as a "flunk-outin the Arts and Science Department, Jack has now entered the College of Law. He sleeps
peacefully thru Judge Chalkley's lectures and recently showed his contempt for Judge Lafferty's moot court.

10 IS DATE

With a list of entries which Includes
a number of old students and Freshmen who have already demonstrated
their dramatic ability or who seem to
have marked talent, it looks as if the
Strollers will have an "Amateur
Night" performance this year which
will surpass any they have ever presented. All students who are not already members of the organization
are eligible to compete for the prizes
and many with dramatic aspirations
are taking advantage of this opportunity to prove their ability to win
a prize. Two prizes of $5.00 are offered, one for the best act presented
by a single person, and the other for
the best act presented by more than
one person.

Comedians, readers,- "vodvil" stars,
actors of all kinds, musical artists or
artistes, as the case may be, should
bestir themselves and get into the
competition. As yet, the number of
musical acts entered is small, and
those who have ability in this line
should not pass up the golden opportunity. Acts of all kinds are acceptable, provided they can be passed by
the Board of Censorship. Originality

''HICK" LOSES A TOOTH
Grabfelder, Kinne, Haydon,
Crutcher and Brit-tai- n

Star

The Wildcats made the Black and
Red collection look like a black and
blue distribution last Saturday. Cincinnati hasn't scored this year and
from present indications she won't.
The game was only of interest in the
performance of the Wildcats. The
sons of Cincinnatus were beaten from
the start.
Earl Grabfelder started things when
he hopped thru tackle and sped for a
touchdown on the first formation before the crowd had finished yelling
for Rodes, who had carried the ball
to the middle of the field. Then it

used a multitude of substitutes. Every
boy in the school who had a football
suit and an "afternoon off" apparently got into the game. After every play
a troup of substitutes would go out
and then after the period was up the
regular, who was well rested up would
go back into the game.
'Doc" Rodes was star extraordinary.
He danced thru the Cincinnati defenders like he was on roller skates and
had his pants greased. He gained
steadily thru the line. He broke loose,
one wonderful run for ninety yards
and a supposed touchdown, but Referee Hamm got the impression that
his foot touched tho outside line and
the play did not count. His passing
was excellent. The long throws failed at first but were successful enough
to let Kentucky get long gains, three
for about thirty yards, and a short
gain or two. "Doc's" punting was also
excellent.
Then there was Brlttain at smashing half on the defense. He is the
"smashingest" smashing half in tho
business. He broke thru the lino
nearly every play and thru the CIncy
runners before got started more than
once or twice. Brittain is a bear. He
has outplayed every man he has played against this year. He had his face
banged up by Mr. Koohler during tho
first half, but got back In the game
later and did valiant work.
Kinne was last year's Kinne. Tho
little fellow with tho angelic cast or
countenance was the most sensational
player of last year. This year ho has
played a steady gamo, but until tho
Cincinnati clash ho had not pulled
any of those unexpected breath-takinwonderful stunts that made tho big
