LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY,

FRIDAY, FEHRUAKY

Frank Hoover
A thoroughbred has passed the Finish Post, has ran the course for
the last time. A battered typewriter In the Lexington Herald news
room will no longer race with all the speed of the king of sports, under
the hand of Frank K. Hoover. This lover of the turf and of beautiful
horse flesh, has written his last story.
Only 24 years old, beloved of all who knew him, respected nnd
affectionately called "the kid" by all the prominent sports celebrities
of the South and East, he gave to his readers something of the
inherent love of the Kcntucklan for thoroughbred horse racing, and
all of the finesse of sport. The Kernel docs not have to look far back
in its dusty flics to find a masthead which read, "Frank Hoover, Sports
Editor". Asa student he was as well known, as often remembered
by the charm of his engaging smile, ns he later became known and
admired by the sporting world.
If one questions the abrupt, ruthless ending of a life so full and
so useful, there lies, perhaps, only one answer comprehensible to mere
mortals to whom death is the unfathomable mystery. He met death
after a well run race, a well done assignment completed, Just as he
wrote "30" at the end of his last story Monday night.

Resolutions Passed
By Athletic Board
The athletic council of the
University of Kentucky has
learned of the untimely death of
Frank K. Hoover, sports editor
of The Lexington Herald, with a
regret and sorrow that it finds
it impossible to reflect in words.
young Hoover's
Throughout
connection with the sports desk
of his paper it had been the
good fortune of this body many
times to come in contact with
him, and to benefit immeasurably by the exercise of his rare
Judgment, his generous attitude
toward the serious task the university had imposed upon it, and
thus to learn much of the true
nobility of his constant purpose
and the admirable character of
the man.
In all his handling for publication of affairs touching athletics and athletes In this university this -- body felt that In
Frank Hoover It had a real
friend; one who maintained a
sympathetic interest in all its
activities, and sought to bring
to it the best that was in him
to the end that cl;an sportsmanship might always prevail.
His sense of Justice, his understanding outlook upon the many
problems that beset this council,
his manifest fairness at all
times in dealing with them, his
positive integrity of spirit and
his uniform practice of the high
ethics of his great profession,
made him so valued a counsellor, so precious a friend that its
members can not refrain In this
hour of general appraisal of a
great loss, from expressing their
r.wn.
Be It resolved, therefore,

the athletic council of the

that

Uni-

versity of Kentucky hereby offers its sympathy to those loved
ones who are left, to his comrades of the press; that this
resolution be made a part of the
minutes of this council and that
copies be sent to the family of
the bereaved and to the press.

be achieved with brilliantly colored
spotlights. The decorations are in
charge of the advanced corps.
The main attraction of the ball
will be the Grand March, which
will be given by the advanced corps
men of the unit and their dates.
The ball will mark the first appearR. O. T.

Moreover, for the
occasion, legitimately or not, to

there is dramatic Interest in each
object with which ho comes in

of these objects Is a building erected In 1882, the home of Walter K.
Patterson, brother of James K. Patterson, former president and founder of the University of Kentucky.
Having been attracted by the
noise from the small Hock of feathered domesticates, the observer's attention turns curiously toward this

picturesque old brick dwelling which
occupies so central a position on our
campus and so important a place
in Kentucky tradition. Its isolated
appearance excites wonder, and the
desire to learn more about lt increases with each new observation.
An ancient and hardly distinguishable brick path leads along an
almost aged fence to u gate of Indifferent purpose. Ujxjii entering
this gate the observer experiences
the not unpleasant sensation of
having time reverted some 40 yeurs
or more; a few steps farther and he
comes to the front porch. To the
left of the door is a portentious, unpolished, bronze tablet dedicating the
home of tho memory of James Kennedy Patterson; to tho right Is an
knob which, when pulled, rings a bell Inside and announces the presence of callers. The
bell is answered usually by Miss
Annie Short, related to Wi K. Patterson through the marriage of his

The passage up the stairs into
Mr, Patterson's room Is full of revelationsMr. Patterson himself is
not the least of them. Walter K.
Paterson, 86 years old, greets his
guests with the cordiality and vigor

of a middle-age- d
warmth of his greeting leaves with
them an impression that tlmo cannot remove. In answer to numerous
questions Mr. Patterson describes
vividly the younger days of our Alma Mater, and, If the visitor Is

Entering an entirely different
of entertainment from that
practiced since the inception of
Strollers, the student dramatic enthusiasts are planning to produce a
musical revue as the annual offering. This decision was reached In
a meeting of the organization Tuesday night.
The time and place of the production are not known, as yet, but
it is expected that it will be
near the middle of April.
For 18 years, the Strollers have
produced a play on the campus,
but, according to members of the
club, It was thought wise to depart
from the annual custom this year.
Previous to the new plan, Andrew Hoover, director of Strollers,
turned in his resignation.
A production staff will be formed which will consist of a musical
director, a dance director, a dialogue director, sta&e manager, electrician, publicity director, business
manager, and production supervisee
As the plan calls for preparations to
start at once, an open meeting will
be held in the Kentucklan office
in the men's gymnasium Tuesday
night for the purpose of selecting
the members of the production
staff. Any student of the university interested in taking one of
these positions will be Interviewed
at the meeting.
The show will consist of chorus
numbers, musical novelties, skits,
various specialties in typical revue
sytle. Individual talent will not be
booked at Tuesday's meeting as the
members of the production staff
will, for the most part, be solely in
charge of their respective departments.
It was pointed out to the organization that a presentation of this
nature would give everyone interested in campus dramatics an opportunity to appear In a show. As the
organization has grown Into one

of the university's largest
groups, the Strollers feel
that a revue style of production is
admirably suited to the existing
condition.

The interior gives a first Impression almost Indescribable an atmosphere of decided antiquity, of

aware of high ceilings, tall doors,

occupation in 1882.
James K. Patterson had as a
hobby, book collecting, which fact
is made obvious by the hundreds of
quaint volumes filling every conceivable nook. Tho many rare books
of this collection, by a provision in
Mr. Patterson's will, have been
made available to all students who

State College Academy. Walter K.
Patterson never married, and the

Is appropriate to repeat what was
said some years ago: "lo tne Kentucklan who knows and appreciates

Perhaps, during the course of the

A charter was received by the
Lexington Minute Men, a local military organization, of the university,
yesterday following a petition to the
national headquarters of tho Pershing Rifle Unit which granted permission for the Installation of a
chapter at' the University of Kentucky on March 7.
Installation will be held in the
Armory. Brigadier General Carl
Degner, of the first brigade of
Pershing Rifle Units, who Is stationed at Ohio State University,
will be the installation officer. Major
O. R. Meredith, of the university
Military department, will be the
faculty advisor for the Kentucky
chapter.
The Pershing Rifle Unit is a national military honorary society organized for the promotion of good
will between R. O. T. C. units
throughout the nation. The benefits derived from a chapter at the
university will be the furtherance
of military consciousness, and the
creation of better cooperation within the regiment.
The Lexington Minute Men acted
merely as a temporary organization,
and as a medium through which
the petition was placed in the hands
of the national unit. Following the
Installation, the members of the
university R. O. T. C. who composed
this local organization will automatically become charter members
of the university Pershing Rifle
Unit.
The local unit was organized at
the university November 17, 1930,
by a committee of advanced course
men composed of: Col. Ben. Crosby,
Lieut. Col. L. Payton, Major A.
Henderson, sergeants; O. B. Coff-mo- n.

basic candidates, present at the first
meeting, were selected but this

held every Monday and Wednesday
from 5 to 6 o'clock. Uniforms are
worn, and the butts manual, silent
manual, and other drills are executed to music furnished by Mr.
E. G. Sulzer.
In 1892 General John J. Pershing,
then first lieutenant and commander of cadets at the University of
Nebraska, organized a crack drill
company at that school which was
known as the Varsity Rifles. This
organization entered the annual
competition drill at Omaha and
won the Omaha trophy. The next
year the name was changed to
Pershing Rifles. This organization,
carried on as a strictly local unit
for 31 years, began the organization
of other companies In 1924.
Pershing Rifles Is a military
and not a fraternity.
Pershing Rifles Is not a social organization, but it sponsors some
social functions, to aid in building
up the morale of the organization.

members. Membership In Pershing
Rifles Is in itself a recognition of
military proficiency.
Companies are found on the
campuses of some of the largest
universities. It stands for the highest Ideals of American citizenship,
"Duty, Honor, and Country."
The Unit will execute a drill at

which will be their headquarters
during their stay In that city. Following a light breakfast and short
rest the 'Cats Journeyed to the
Georgia Tech gymnasium where
they enjoyed a light workout. Kentucky has always enjoyed the privilege of the use of the Tech gymnasium and Coach Rupp has stated
that he wishes at this tlmo to express his appreciation for the manner In which Tech officials have
favored the Wildcats.
Despite the fact that North Carolina State falls to have a very Impressive record this year Coach
Rupp Is looking forward to u real
battle between the two teams. It

The Kernel learns with mingled
emotions of the establishment of a
new honorary fraternity upon the
university campus. There is always
much which caiv be said In favor of
organizations such as Sigma Upsl-lounfortunately,
however, too
frequently there Is Just as much
which can be said against them.
The University of Kentucky, In
common with most universities of
today, has been burdened with a
of organizations.

Literary creation upon the part of
students seemingly has become a
thing of the past. The art o
