The Athletic Director's reins were
handed to Bernie Shively, former
tackle at Illinois who
was called to Lexington in 1927 by
Cat Coach Harry Gamage as line
instructor. As his first official de
cree Shively spiked prevalent rumors
by naming Ab Kirwan to the head
football chair. Kirwan, himself a
former Cat griddsr and Blue captain in 1925, made the coaching
circle complete by appointing Shive
ly line coach, rehiring Frank Mosley and picking up Joe Rupert and
Gene Myers, two of the best linemen in Cat history.
To feel the state's football pulse,
this spring Kirwan and Shively
launched upon an extended speak
ing tour which carried them into
every section of the Commonwealth.

PIGSKLN PREVIEW

The first preview of the new
model Wildcat football team over
the full game time route will be
held Saturday afternoon on the
Stoll Field practice annex when
Coach Ab Kirwan sends two picked
teams into action.
Two practice sessions per day has
been the lot of the Cat candidates
each day since September 1 when
the Southeastern conference rehearsal season officially opened.
With the opening of school the usual dally workouts will be the medicine. In Saturday's scrimmage Kirwan hopes to get some idea of the
way his charges can stand up under
the full game grind. At present the
squad numbers 39 members with
only one performer, Captain Sher- 4 man Hinkebein, who was a member
last year's varsity.
;ince the advent of Kirwan into
,e local coacning spotugnt, tne
Wildcats have undergone complete
reconstruction from top to bottom.
The fact that the Blues may place
stress on passing as their most
potent offensive weapon is evi
denced by the amount of time given
to handling the oval. Kirwan, who
