out the fine points of the play and represented each part with her splendid
mastery of the art.
"The Thirteenth Chair" has a mystery
plot, intricate and exciting. It is pervaded by comedy lines and the appealing
clement of human interest, making tense
and vivid drama.
At the climax the discovery was made
that Mr. Sax was sitting in the thirteenth
chair of the Little Theater and this was
considered a happy augury that the play
is to be given with great success by the
Strollers, inspired by the arcistic reading of Mrs. Cave.
Tryouts for parts in "The Thirteenth
Chair" were held every afternoon this
week. There are thirteen leading roles

keepers with adding machines will be on
hand to keep track of the Wildcats' goals.
This, the first game of the season, will
be of great interest as everyone is anto see if Coach Buchheit's
have lost or gained anything
since last season.
Two men on the
regular sqund will be absent from the
lineup Saturday. Basil Hayden, who injured his knee some time ago, is still on
the sick list and it is uncertain at precent
when Basil will be back on the squad.
This week Coach Buchheit placed another
player on his sick list, Sam Ridgeway
havng the misfortune to be laid up with
rheumatism. This illness may keep Sam
off the squad for some time. However,
the other men are in the pink of condition and have been showing up fine at
practice, especially in the scrimmage
work. Although Coach Buchheit is not
expecting an unusually hard game with
Georgetown he is tnking no chances and
stiff practice and scrimmages had been
engaged in all this week in preparation
for Saturday's game.
The Georgetown Tigers are reported to
have a smooth running team this year
having defeated the Frankfort Y. M. C.
A. Team 30 to 20. However, when they
clash with the Champions of the South
of 1921 they will find that there will be
a man ready to cone with every play.
The probable lineup for tho game is
as follows:
Georgetown:
Funk, Capt., forward;
Daniels, forward; J.acob Center; Porter,
guard; Kemper, guard.
Kentucky: Lavin, Cap., guard; Poyntz
or Kenneth King forward; Atkins center;
Hurnham guard; Bill King, forward.
Pat Deveraux will officiate.

The

the larjjost number of

Kentucky in its ranks that has ever been
assembled there. These "Kentucky" men
and woman represent clnsses from '82
to '22, the youngest being Beryl Boyd
who will receive his degree from the
College of Law in June.
Although the session has barely gotten
under way there is evidence of some very
constructive legislation to come out of
it, in which the University alumni are
to take a prominent part.
The first woman member of the Kentucky Legislature, Mrs. Mary Elliott
Flanery, of Catlettsburg, is a former student of the University. To her was
awarded the honor of presiding at the
first session of the solons at Frankfort,
