Referee Hlnton did not care for the
moonlight stuff and finally drew the
strings on his career.
The visitors used a peculiar style of
play, trusting to luck and shooting
ability rather than passing. Most of
the time they played at their end of
the floor; then they would make a
concerted rush which would carry
them as far as Boone Simpson or Doc
Rodes, at which time the works would
go wrong and Kentucky would get another goal.
The Wildcats really showed a big

Boo and Pug were on the job with

he threw the ball right meanly and
it landed on the wall he ruined a

Doc was treated to a nice

The story of the game would not be
complete without mention of the work
of Pat Campbell, Ben Marsh and Paul
Anderson, who did much to add to the
pugilistic atmosphere of the affray.

SCORE

The lady Wildcats opened their basketball season quite auspiciously last
Monday night, when they handed the
girls of Kentucky WeBleyan College a
on the local gym floor.
The visitors, outclassed and outplayed
at every stage, nevertheless put up a
game fight and deserved commendation for their work.
The stellar performance of the evening was that of Miss Celia Cregor,
Kentucky's center, who scored sixteen
points and passed the ball in a manner
that brought cheers from the crowd
which occupied the bleachers and the
"galleries." Miss Ellwanger and Miss
Crane, newcomers on the squad, did
excellent work at forward and Misses
Innes and Haydon had a great deal to
do with the prevention of counters for
the Winchester girls.
Miss Drake, guard, did the best work
for the visitors. Her encounters with
Miss Crane were among the most interesting features of the game.

TONIGHT

With rehearsals Monday night, to
night and Friday, the Strollers got
down to work again after a week's
enforced cessation of hostilities because of exams. It will be easy for
the forty or more actors to learn their
parts in "The Lion and the Mouse"
after the practice in "boning" necessary during last week. Altho none of
the parts are as yet decided it is believed that Stage Manager Marsh will
be able to announce definitely an actor and an understudy for each of the
parts before next week. Before that
time there will probably be lively competition among the three or four who
are out for each of the seventeen
parts.
The large number in the "squad"
and the enthusiasm manifested at all
times, together with the unusual
amount of ability displayed, promises
'veil for the success of the biggest
show the Strollers have ever attempted. The difficulty this year seems to

and will continue until the show is
presented, probably early in March.
The rehearsal tonight will be at 7:15
o'clock in the Strollers studio.
"The Lion and the Mouse" differs
from many of the earlier Stroller successes in that it is not a straight corn
ed. It is a drama of depth and in
tensity of feeling. There is, however,
running thru it a vein of delightful
comedy, which has raised it in popular favor. The powerful third act,
