University of Kentucky Kittens are
to meet one of the strongest freshman football teams in the
South. On that day they will face
the yearling team of the University
of Tennessee at Knoxville. This game
will end the season for the Kittens.
The Tennessee frosh, thought by
many to have the best yearling team
in the South, has a very impressive
record in games won this fall. They

This afternoon at 2 o'clock, on
Stoll field, the annual game between
the frosh gridmen of Centre and the
University of Kentucky will be held.
This freshman football game has
grown to be second only in interest
to the annual clash between the var
sity teams representing the two institutions.
So far this year, Centre's frosh
have made an impressive record for
themselves. They have beaten the
University of Louisville yearlings by
a 40-- 0 score, and a few weeks back
they journeyed across to the north side
of Lexington and trounced the Transylvania first year men by a 56-- 0
count. Last week in a very close
game, and one that came as an upset to the dope bucket, the Kentucky
Wesleyan frosh downed the Lieutenants 7 to 6. This game is the only

recital will be given by th? same artists at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
nrogram is sponsored by the
Club of the university.
Miss Cook has gained prominence
with her song recitals, possessing considerable ability as a pianist and a
voice which has gained much praise.
She has studied and specialized in the
music of all eastern Europe and her
skill in portraying the songs, dances,
dress and costumes is said to be exceptional. Miss Folliard is an able
accompanist, and this second program
on Russian subjects is eagerly awaited
by music lovers.
The past summer Miss Cook traveled with the Redpath Chautauqua
circuit. In the summer of 1926 she
visited small villages in Poland, Hungary, Roumania,and other Slavic nations in search of color and schemes
for her recitals. She had an audience
with Queen Marie of Rumania, and

Members Are Wanted
for University Band
An opportunity is now offered for
students who would like to play bandj
instruments and eventually be in the
university band, according to Elmer
G. Sulzer, director. One of the aims
of the music department is to develop
new material, and if a prospective
student shows sufficient interest in
this kind of work, instruments can
in some instances be loaned.
Mr. Sulzer would also like to have
all players of band instruments in the
university not in the university band
sign the waiting list so that they may
be given an opportunity to join at the
first opportunity. The band instru
mentation is complete at the present
time but withdrawals are constantly
occurring and an applicant for membership will find it to his advantage
to have his name on the wating list.

warriors of the Blue will engage tomorrow in the ancient city of Danville.
High priests of Pop, clothed
in robes of puro white and brilliant
blue and carrying tokens of their
office, the beribboned megaphone, will
preside over the rites.
In short, folks, we're going to have
a pep meeting tonight and you're going to be there. The team is right
and we're going to get right. We're
going to come out and make our
amends to the great god Pep for any
sins of omission that we might have
committed during the present season. The high priests, John Jewell,
Dick Engstrom, and Lawton Daly,
will be there with rejuvenated voices
and brand new megaphones to help
us get right.
After we have done all th? vocal
damage possible to the gym, we are
going to repair to the Kentucky theater where Mr. Payne, a loyal supporter of the Blue, will nelp us with
the supplications. He and
Bob Thompson, Bennie Edwards and
Louis Cox have prepared a snappy
