KENTUCKY'S 1929 GRIDIRON HEROES
The 1929 football season at the University of
Kentucky has brought about a change in the
order of things when the success of the football
team Is considered. In the years gone by, tho

eternally hoping for an outstanding team.
Next year has come this year. The University
Is represented by a team which calls for the admiration of fans wherever It appears. That such
popularity is deserved is without doubt. It has
been brought about by hard, clean play, and the
clement of sportsmanship apparent in all of the
contests.
Kentucky's 1929 athletes arc the heroes of the
University and of the state at large. They come
to the end of the season highly touted and ready
to turn back the potent threat of Tennessee's
mighty Volunteers. That they will give all in
their power to win the game is unquestioned;
but should they lose, they will have lost to a
team which is better than most teams of the
country. It will be no disgrace. If they win, the
praise of a nation will be showered upon them
The Kernel believes that the big blue machine

the University of Kentucky in many years. It
Joins with all of those who give full credit to the
players and the coaches for the work they have
done, but It believes that credit is due at the
present time. There is no need to wait for the
result of the Thanksgiving game. Win or lose

STILL "ALL WET"
The Kernel feels called upon to say a few
more words on the subject of the walks between
the buildings on the campus, for as we have
predicted, already the gravel placed on the paths
has become ground into powder, and we are
waiting with an
expression for the
rainy day.
With the money expended in the purchase of
gravel two or three times each year, lasting
walks of asphalt or even concrete might be laid.
As it is, the campus is marred by the patchwork appearance of concrete Wks abruptly
terminating and becoming muddy paths. Also
grass around the edges of the paths might be
saved, if they were less sloppy, for the students
walk anywhere in preference to the mud.
Students are, however, requested not to cut
across the grass plots on the campus, and they
hereby have opportunity to show their appreciation of the beauty of the University grounds by
complying with this request.

should know what he Is going to receive in college and to what extent he will be Benefitted.
His association in a more or less intimate

years out of college can look back with pleasant smiles to some one or two professors whose
guidance and kindly encouragement have made
hard roads easy.

But character and personality without
learning do not constitute a college education,
nor does a pedantic belief that "book knowledge"
Is sufficient. Athletics, class room mental vigor
and campus activities all contribute toward the

upon a question and delve into myriads of conglomerate facta and extract those applicable to
