TREE

For the last few years the custom
has been observed and will be this
year of having a Christmas tree on
the University of Kentucky campus
for the students of the university to
share their Christmas with the children who have not the opportunity
to enjoy the pleasure of Christmas in
other ways.
This year the Christmas tree ex
ercises will be held on December 21,
at 3 o'clock. The exercises are spon
sored by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y.
M. C. A. of the University of Ken
tucky. The first, second, and third
grades of the Lincoln school have been
selected by the committee as the ones
to enjoy with them the Christmas
party. Every child's name is procured and suitable gifts are selected
for them. In addition each child re
ceives an orange, apple and package
of candy. A large tree will be dec
orated with Christmas emblems and
wired with incandescent lights of
green and red.
The committee in charge of preparations is composed of Irene Morgan,

Because of the increase in capacity
of the Romany theater, the Romany,
during its season ticket campaign
which begins January 4 and continues
until Febraury 1, is able to offer substantial reductions on prices of season tickets to all students and faculty
members of schools and colleges in
Lexington.
The double season ticket, which will
admit two to each Romany perform
ance of the season, will be sold for
$5. The new tickets will not only
admit all subscribers to five plays of
the fourth season, but also to the last
play of the third season, to be given
early- in February. This means that
two persons are entitled to attend six
performances for $5, thus making.

Another feature will be the reduc

or all tickets to members of any
organization already in existence at
this date who have 100 per cent of
their members subscribe. This applies
to any club, fraternity, or organiza
tion of any kind whatsoever, provided there at at least 10 members.
If the student is a member of more
than one organization, his subscription counts in the quota of every or
ganization to which he belongs. The
single subscription, which will be 3,
will entitle the subscriber to attend
each of the five plays of the fourth
season, in addition to the final play
of the third season. A double subscription may count as subscriptions for
two members of an organization.
Those who have been granted mem

Basketball will be of paramount in

when the strong University of Cincinnati quintet will play the Wildcats in
the opening game of the season at
the new gym. The contest will be
called

8:00 o'clock.

The Cincinnati artists, who won the
Ohio Conference basketball championship last year with one of the best
teams in the North, have already set
sail for another championship season.
Last Saturday night they quelled the
strong Berea College outfit by a 75
to 24 count, while two week3 before
their practice periods have been spent
intermittently in beating strong independent teams around Cincinnati.
Although the Wildcats have not re
ceived the opportunity of demonstrat
ing their wares in a real game, they
have shown to good advantage in
practice sessions, but they will have
to improve appreciably by tomorrow
night, if they expect to cope on equal
terms with the Ohio aggregation. In
scrimmages with the freshmen, the
Wildcats are unable to hold their own
consistently, but in shooting and pass
ing they are about on the average
with any other team which has been
practidas a little over three weeks.
