The baseball season, which is rapidly approaching will find the University of Kentucky with few letter men
but much high grade material gained
from the 1923 Freshman nine. Captain Rouse, Miller, Gregg and Stokes
are the only letter men who remain,
the rest having been lost through
graduation.
The varsity team will be composed
largely of last year's freshmen. Reed
Miller, who last year cavorted in center field will probably be found at
first ibase when the season opens' as
"Daddy" Glenn,i the freshman first
sucker did not return to school this
year. This leaves the entire outfield
open for the
material of
which there is a large quantity.
Hughes and McFarland ia addition to their pitching played in the
outfield. All there are steady hitters
and sure fielders.
Lyle Croft will probably fill the vacancy at third base which was left by
the graduation of Arnold. Captain
Rouse will possibly ibe shifted from
short to second, leaving that place
open for either Adams, captain of the
1923 Frosh, or Bill King who formerly held that position. "Chuck" Alberts will give Rouse plenty of competition for the keystone sack.
The catching staff has two aspirants of merit in Derrick and Sauer.
s
Both of these men caught for the
last year and Sauer also played
in the outfield, part of the time. The
Wildcat pitching
staff should be
stronger this year than it has been
for quite a while.
Two regulars,
Gregg and Stokes, will return. Then
there are several men who were on
the squad last year but did not break
'nto the linup enough to earn a letter.
From the freshman team, the varsity
gains Riffe, Samuels, Vossmeyer,
Hughes and McFarland, svho should
add great strength to the staff

PROF. ROBERTS

The weatherman, Kentucky's trickbeen responsible for the delay in the building of Kentucky's new
basketball building and thus for the
unfinished condition of it. Indirectly,
the same factor has been responsible
for the congestion, pushing and begging for seats at all of the Wildcats'
home games this season.
However,
we are promised a completed building
for the high school tournament to be
held here March 13, 14 and IS.
George B. Carey, chairman of the
building committee, said in an interview: "I think you can state with a
good deal of certainty that the building will :be ready for the high school
tournament."
When the contract was let the building was promised for January 15.
However, brick cannot be laid when
the temperature is below freezing and
much time has been lost in this phase
of the work. Last week the brick
contractors were able to work only
two hours, it seems that this week will
be a repetition of last. Mr. Shea, the
brick contractor, says that he can finish laying the brick in twelve dayr

The Men's Student Council of the
University will have representatives
ott both the University Senate and
the Discipline Committee, the membership of which has been confined to
faculty memlbers exclusively in the
past, it was decided at the regular
meeting of the Senate held Monday
afternoon. The petition of the Coun
c
for such representation was pre
sentcd to the Universiy Council which
reported favorably to the Senate by
whom it was passed without delay.
This action on the part of the sen
ate is a decided compliment to the
Student Council and shows that the
senate is keenly aware of the close
spirit of cooperation between students
and faculty, largely brought about by
the efforts of the Student Council
Marshall Barnes, president' of the
Council, said that menUbers would be
selected from that body at their next
meeting to fill the newly created position.
It is understood that the Woman's
Association

will present a similar petition at an
early meeting of the senate. Memlbers
of the Senate 'were confident that this
request would be granted by their or
ganization. This will serve in a very
great measure to link the student body
and faculty closer together.
Among the other important rules
passed by the Senate at their Mon
day meeting was the decision that all
dances must be held on Saturday
nights or on the night preceding a
holiday. The Social committee of the
Student Council was asked to arrange
their program to conform to this ruling. The reason given for this ruling
was that so many fraternities had asked for dance dates on Friday nights

Heretofore any type of uniform was
permitted at the ball, but it has been
decided this year to limit the uniform to the regulation uniform provided by the school. Alt advanced
men are requested to wear their uniforms, but the basic men may wear
either the uniform or a tuxedo. Tickets may be procured from any member
of the committee or from Captain

The committee has spared no effort to make the ball the ibest in the
history of the department, and with tlx

will be easily accomplished.
