State University basketball prestige
suffered quite a setback last week
when Vandy's Southern championship
aspirants took two games on Friday
respectively,
nights,
and Saturday
and the University of Louisville girls
overcame the State
in one of
the hardest fought contests ever seen
on a local floor. Vanderbilt won from
State by the scores of 39 to 25 and
23 to 10, and the girls were defeated
12 to 10, in an overtime game. The
score stood 10 to 10 at the expiration
of the alloted time, when it was
agreed that the first to score two
points would win the- decision.
Friday night Vanderbilt started with
a rush and apparently bewildering the
local five by the display of unparalled
team work, they threw baskets almost
at will. On the other hand State's
men were having tough
luck with their shots and time after
time, as the spectators held their
breath, the ball would glide around
the edge of the coveted iron ring only
to drop outside again and be rushed
down the floor to the rival basket.
At the end of the half the Commodores had succeeded in securing 22
points, while State was making two
field and five foul goals.
spirA startling Wildcat come-bacit was displayed in the second half of
the affray. Lighter men fought daunt-lesslagainst the heavy Vanderbilt
team and played them to a standstill.
Superior team work again proved the
victor and Vandy made 17 to State's
16 in this latter period.
The one man on State's team who
was able to locate the basket was
Derrel Hart. He sustained the hopes
of the locals in the first half by pitching five fouls, as the Commodores
were guilty of frequent foul plays.
Cody played best for Vanderbilt, scoring 18 of the points garnered by his
team. Tom Zerfoss, a brother of
George and Captain Karl, who is remembered here for his football ability, as well as starring on the Wildcat quintet in 1914, entered the game
during the middle of the last half and
made six points. George at guard, accepted the role of guarding his older
brother gallantly and the "Inter brother" contest was just about as interesting to the spectators as was the
main attraction.
The summary of the first game follows:
Vanderbilt Cody (18), Davidson
(7), T. Zerfoss (6), forwards; Ryer

guards.

Wildcats Expect Hard Con
test With Falls City

Aggregation

K. C. W. HERE FRIDAY
Basketball enthusiasts learn with
much satisfaction
that definite ar
rangements for games with the University of Louisville have been completed. The first game will be played
at the Auditorium Saturday night
with a return game in Louisville, Feb
ruary 22. It was at first believed that
the two teams would be unable to
agree on dates this season.
Louisville has defeated both George
town and Transylvania this year and
State has taken two from Georgetown, so it appears that the outcome
of these two games will decide the
championship of the State. Coach
Tlgert, as well as the student body,
expects a hard and fast contest, as
Louisville has one of the strongest
quintets gotten together in tke State
for some time. Probably their best
man is Captain Kornfleld, who plays
one of the forward positions. Daniels,
center, as well as Terry and
guards, are gridiron stars and
are especially good at the basket
game.
State will more than likely start

DEAN MILLER WILL
CONSULT ASTRONOMER
Following his request for informa
tion concerning tho meteorite which
was seen in Kentucky on the morn'
ing of January 12, Professor A. M.
Miller received the following letter
from the Department of Physics of
Columbia University:
Dear Sir I have noticed that a
meteor was seen in Central Kentucky
at 5:45 a. m. January 12, which was
of unusual brightness, and that you
were attempting to learn from possible observers if the meteor had
been generally seen. As indicated in
reprint enclosed, I am very much in
terested in meteors from a special
feature, namely, concerning the persistent luminous cloud that remains
in the wake of a few of the largest
meteors. If any of the observers of
the meteor, who reported to you give
any information in regard to persistence of the streak after ten seconds or
so, I wish that you could give me the
information. Otherwise, I am not interested in the phenomenon as far as
my investigation is concerned.
You
can tell from reading the paper about
what I hope to learn wherever a persistent train is observed. In case
the meteor did deposit a train and
fairly accurate
were
observations
made concerning its location in the
sky at different points, I can get Mr.
Deming, of Bristol, England, to compute carefully the height of the train
and path, etc.
Very truly yours,
C. C. TROWBRIDGE,
Investigator of Meteor Trains under
grant by the National Academy of
Science from the J. Lawrence

CLUB.

The question has often been asked,
"who are eligible to become members
of the Mountain Club?" Several members of the club have determined just
what counties are considered mountain counties and have selected the
following list: Bell, Boyd, Breathitt,
Carter, Clay, Clinton, Cumberland, Elliott, Estill, Floyd, Greenup, Harlan,
Jackson,
Johnson,
Knott,
Knox,
Laurel, Lawrence, Leslie, Lee, Letcher, Magoffin, Martin, McCreary, Meni
fee, Morgan, Owsley, Perry,
Pike,
Powell, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Rowan,
Wayne, Whitley, Wolfe.
It is possible that the above list is
incomplete and the club will welcome
any corrections.
All students from
these counties not only are eligible to
become members of the club, but are
considered as such. The next meeting
will be held Friday, February 11, at
Patterson Hall and all members are
urged to come.

At one of our recent gatherings there were a few dozen students present and one faculty member. He came to introduce the speaker, who had
given up his valuable time to come to the University and address an array of empty benches. A wonderful impression of State he must have
There is a number of faculty members and many prominent men of
the city who would gladly address the students upon matters of interest.
A few more selections of music and the discussion of subjects with which
the students are vitally concerned are our suggestions.

Why not have a committee of students to arrange student exercises
once a week, or if that fails, why not have "chapel" only once each week
and make it something worth while?
The Kernel is not quarreling with the established order of things, but
as spokesman of fifteen hundred students, desires at this time merely to
suggest the changes here indicated with the hope that both faculty and
students may see their plain and positive duty in a new and clarified

Then and Now.
Two strikingly evident modifications in the social life of the University of Kentucky have caused adverse comment among those who are interested most deeply in the University and its development.
The time has not been long past when all State social functions, especially the dances, were attended largely by faculty members and University students, both men and women. Many of the instructors would
take advantage of the opportunities which University gatherings supplied
to meet the students upon a social plane.
Our recent dances and social gatherings have been
through the scarcity of faculty members and State students.

We have one of the most representative and most efficient faculties
in the South, but it has not been the observation of The Ker
