KENTUCKY COURTESY

It is nothing at all out of the ordinary, we are. glad
to say, for Nashville and Vanderbilt University to see
visiting college football teams and their supporters display good sportsmanship and fine courtesy, but it is
somewhat unusual to find those qualities presented for
attention in the faultless style that marked the presence
of the University of Kentucky at the stadium last Saturday. Not so many flawless performances come along
that we can afford to overlook any one of them, and the
behavior of the supporters of Kentucky was beyond
question just what the best traditions of a chivalrous
people would have led us to expect of them.
The team of fighting Wildcats was forced to bow
to the superior skill and condition of Vanderbilt on the
field, but the Kentucky band and the Kentucky supporters, if they always behave themselves as they did
last Saturday, will never find themselves second to
anybody when awards for sportsmanship are being given
out. The band was as well drilled as any similar organ-- ,
ization that has ever appeared, and it neglected no detail
of paying tribute to a gallant and successful foe. Kentucky's band played Vanderbilt songs and formed a "V"
on the field between halves before it made its own
"K.U."
It respected all the amenities of the occasion
in general and in particular, and the sponsor it boasted
must have been enough to convince any sane person that
all that has ever been said about Kentucky's fair women
is abundantly true today.

It is admittedly more difficult to accept defeat
gracefully and courageously than it is to win in the
same manner, and on that basis the University of
Kentucky team, its band and its adherents must all be

did display a somewhat churlish disposition, but he accomplished the hitherto impossible feat of making several inevitable and ubiquitous small boys who swarm the
