Shop Is Under

By JUDY CIIADWICK
Believe it or not, a sail boat is
under construction in the basement
of Kastle hall. Recently so many
rumors concerning the "said" boat
have been bruited around the campus that no one would believe it to
be true. That presupposes that no
one believes rumors.
Dr. O. J. Stewart, assistant
of chemistry, is building a
sloop 18 feet long, 6 feet wide, and
23 inches high. The first question
everyone asks, upon seeing the boat,
is "How are you going to get it out
of here?" The answer: "Through
the door or through the window"
whereupon one looks dubious and
hopes for the best. You see, the
keel which will extend 3 feet below
the boat is going to complicate
pro-sess- or

matters. But the builder has a
.
doctorate in physics
The mast of the boat will be 25

As Students Will

Give Dance Tonight

In Judging Pavilion

BeGuignol'sNext
First Act of Burlesque on
"Hamlet" Will Be Radiocast Friday
By BEN F. TAYLOR
to the opening of the
Guignol
play, "Alas'
Poor Yorick" at the little theater on
Monday, March 6, the Guignol
players will present the first act
of the Kraatz and Boyd's burlesque
on Hamlet" over the University
extension studios of WHAS at 12:15
p. m. today.
The prize play was written by
Virginia Boyd and Perry Kraatz,
former University students, both of
whom are still active in Guignol
affairs. Virginia Boyd is, at present in charge of the properties and
costumes and has been directing the
play up to the past few weeks when
Director Frank Fowler took charge
subsequent to the closing of "The
Circle."
Perry Kraatz is now at the University of Cincinnati as a medical
student.
While enrolled in the
University, he starred in many
Guignol productions, the best remembered role being that of "Mr.
Hardcastle" in "She Stoops to Conquer" of last season.
The performance, of "Alas! Poor
Yorick" should please the admirers
of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as well
as the student who has been merely
"subjected" to it. The trials and
mishaps of a Little Theater director in attempting to produce the
play furnish hilarious comedy and
keen wit in abundance: Laertes
tries to remember his lines while
under the Influence, the electrician
and the property man are continually fighting, the director forgets
to cast the "ghost," and a general
melee continues
throughout the
play. The "grave scene" promises
to be the highlight.
To prove that the play will be
enjoyed by any student, or that he
may laugh at or witness his
vengeance on "Hamlet,"
here is a typical line: (in the middle of a rehearsal. Ophelia, forgetting her role) "Hey, what's a bung-hol-

tournament.

Forest Sale, captain of the team,
pave a short talk, and stated that
he was "almost moved to tears''
when he thought of his coming
graduation from the University. He
paid a high tribute to Coach Rupp.
Other talks were made by Ellis
Johnson and S. A. Boles, athletic
director. Afterwards each member
of the squad was introduced as well
as Charles Maxson, the manager.
Kieutex 'and Darby were not
present.
President McVey, the concluding
speaker of the occasion, corroborated the laudatory talks preceding
him, speaking of the great game
the Wildcats played against Louisiana State University.
Lexington, University of Kentucky students, and the "Best Band
in Dixie" combined on Wednesday
evening to give Coach Adolph Rupp
and his victorious Wildcats a great
homecoming, when the Wildcats'
special car arrived in Lexington.
Several thousand people packed the

station and train platform to celebrate in a royal manner the homecoming of the first champions of
the newly created Southeastern

conference.
It was almost impossible for the
'Cats to leave the train as the
thrilled crowd surged forward in a
solid wall to greet them. First off
the train was Captain "Aggie" Sale,
the great Individual star of the
tournament, who was given a great
hand by the crowd. As the Wildcats left the car one by one, cheers
rent the usual sombre silence of
downtown Lexington, cheers not
heard since that night, 13 years ago
when another Wildcat band returned with the first championship
ever awarded in the old Southern
conference.
After the greeting in the Union
station a triumphant procession was
formed which paraded through
district to the strains of
martial music by the band. Lexington was at the mercy of the
parading students who took every
theater in town by storm, and so
ended the celebration of Kentucky's
second basketball championship, not
as dramatic as the story of the
great celebration of 13 years ago,
a great combut nevertheless
memoration.

Mr. Scrugham opened his address

James Watt in 1869 new worlds
were opened and by many other
inventions the world has changed
steadily. Automobiles were a curiosity when he was in college, the
speaker declared, and there was not
even thought of an airplane, a radio, or some of the modern Inventions.

KENTUCKY'S HEROS
Kentucky, from the time It was
admitted to the Union as a state in
1792, has always given more than
its quota of fighting men to the
cause. History tells us, writers have
memoralized the fact, that soldiers
of the Blue Grass commonwealth
have ever been more than ordinary
men of bravery and valor. Books
have been replete with the courage
In
of Kentucky's
the War for Independence and the
War of 1812 with England, and
equally abounding in stories of the
deeds of Kentucky men in the
Mexican War, the War Between the
conn
States, the
flict, and the World War.
The battlefield where human life
is the sacrifice for national honor
produces one kind of fighter, and
the athletic battlefield where the
sacrifice is almost as great for institutional honor produces another
who is none the less courageous,
none the less valiant. The latter
warrior is the Kentucky Wildcat.
For the first time since 1921 when
the gallant Wildcats defeated all
' opponents in the S. I. A. A. tournament at Atlanta, the University has
won a conference championship.
In
the years between we have sent
teams to Atlanta, some favored to
win, some who had no chance at
all. But every representative which
emanated from Kentucky was one
of courage and heroism. Something
always came in the way to keep the
Blue and White from another title.
