"The Mollusc"
The Romany Players passed from
the grave to the gay and back again
in their presentation of 'The Mollusc"
by Herbert Henry Davies. This subtle English comedy is an amusing, yet
truthful, study of a type we have always with us. A merely lazy person
flows with the tide, explains Tom
Kemp in the play, but a mollusc uses
force to keep from doing if.
Eleanor Morse, as Dulcy Baxter,
carries off the laurels of the play.
She plays the. part of a spoiled young
woman who gains all of her wishes
and desires, not by force, but by
"Mollusc-ry.- "

which many people have, but few

beauty bring to her the sympathy of
her husband, the governess, and her
audience. Fortunately for the entire household, brotherly love is not
so lenient, and Tom Kemp brings
about for her a rude awakening

Marjorie Warden, as Miss Roberts,
is particularly appealing in her portrayal of the charming little governess caught in the drift of circumstances. She is the spirit of youth
incarnate, and she nexer fails to
touch the hearts of her audience
with her magic wand.
Troy Perkins, as the bluff and
hearty brother from Colorado, leaves
little to be desired. He gives a natural and unforced delineation from
beginning to end. However, he made
himself so famous as Mr. Pirn that
he will not soon find another role so
well Buited to him.

Four students of the university and
eleven other mn were candidates for
the honor which, according to Allen
Barnett, secretary of the committee,
was more keenly contested than ever
before. Mr. Barnett stated that the
contestants this year were better edu
cated and were of higher intelligence
than those of former years.
The three qualifications on which
the award is made are: qualities of
manhood, force of character and lead
ership; literary and scholastic at
tainments; physical vigor and inter'
est in outdoor sports. It was the
opinion of the committee after a
careful consideration of each of the
fifteen candidates that Mr. Baker
possesses these qualities to a greater
degree than any of the other can
didates.
The Rhodes scholarship carries with
its tuition at Oxford University, Eng
land, and an annual stipend of three
hundred pounds a year for three
years. Two scholarships are awarded
every three years in each state. Mr.
Baker will succeed Hugh Peal, a tor
mer student of the university, who
was awarded the scholarship three
years ago. W. F. Hines, of Centre
College, is the other Rhodes scholar
at Oxford; having been given the
award two years ago.

IS NEXT

Cincinnati Lineup To
Start in Game
Tonight
The Wildcats went back to hard
practice this week in preparation for
their game with the Hoosiers of Indiana tonight. With one victory already marked up, the 'cats are determined to keep their slate clean.
The Hoosier state is noted for its
good athletes and few others excel
them in the net game. Indiana won
the "Big Ten" conference championship last season and will bring the
same players to Lexington that composed the championship squad, determined to give the Wildcats tho short
end of the score.
The 'cat mentor has drilled his
men hard for the last three days and
it will be a tough job for the Hoosiers to penetrate the Wildcat defense.
The Blue and White men showed up
well in the Cincinnati game in every
department.
The

defense at numerous times for short
shots at the basket. The Feline defense was almost imepetrable and the

Coach Applegran has his hands
full in getting the players in trim
for their game with the Hoosiers.
There has been much stress laid on
the three man defense, which was an
important factor in defeating Cincinnati. The value of intense training
and prolonged drill sessions on the
fundamentals of the game showed
itself in the Cincinnati game. The
Wildcats, although somewhat ragged
in play, were at the right place at
the right time and every play worked
smoothly.
Closely following the Indiana game,
the Blue and White will engage the
strong five from the University of
Michigan Saturday night. This will
give the players only one day for
practice after their game with the
Hoosiers tonight and night work will
probably be the only preparation that
the 'cat mentor can give his men.
Both of these encounters are among

COL I0HN SKAIN
DONATES $1 ,000
Student Loan Fund is
Beneficiary of Opportune Gift
Colonel John Skain, of Lexington,
has donated $1,000 to the student loan
fund of the University of Kentucky.
The money will be sent immediately
to Professor W. S. Webb, chairman
of the fund committee. This donation will be known as the Joseph M.
Skain Memorial Fund, in honor of
Col. Skain's
old nephew who
was killed last summer.
There is now a fund for students
amounting to $ 18,000, which has accumulated from private donations and
memorial funds, all of which is paid
out in an effort to give boys and girls
a better opportunity to secure an education. The fund is almost all out
in loans and donations to the fund
will be gladly received.
The student loan fund has been of
great benefit to those students who
are unable to pay their expenses
through college. So numerous have
been the demands upon the fund that
the present amount is too small to
take care of all the requests. Students who otherwise would be compelled to leave school will be greatly
benefitted by Mr. Skain's geaerous
donation,
