There is no especially adverse criticism to make of the team in Its first
game. Of course there were the many
little faults of beginners in their first
game together, but these are all small
enough to admit of Immediate cure.
The prospects of a winning team, and
even of a spectacular team are bright.
Basket ball fans in general were well

The individual star of the game was
Thomas, and it was his first game. His
floor work was good, but his goal
shooting was better.
Five of the
goals were credited to him. The captain, Pat Campbell, secured two for
his hoodoo string and Bastin, McKin-ney- ,
Shanklin and Zerfoss shot one
apiece. Zerfoss pitched fouls.
Wesleyan played a clean, hard game,
but proved inferior to the Wildcats in
massing and shooting. The game was
marked by few fouls, and little rough
playing. Daddy Boles was, of course,
not very warm in his praise of the

The varsity did not share the hon-- .

The Wildcat lineup was, Thomas,

President McVey's report to the
General Assembly, covering the work
of the University since January, 19IG,
contains his plan for the next bien
nial period and requests $821, EOO as
funds for organization, current ex
penses and improvements.
The report was read to the Execu
tive Committee of the Board of Trustees, approved and ordered printed
and has been sent to the Governor of
Kentucky and to the Legislature, the
former already having highly recom
mended in his opening address a suf
ficient appropriation to the state uni
versity.
f
Approximately
the amount
asked, or $456,000, wll lbe used in permanent investment, thereby relieving
the State of a similar expenditure for
several years.
Dr. McVey, in his report, emphasized the fact that the state universities of Ohio, .Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin were making their states
leaders, because of sufficient state
funds. He said Kentucky should also
place herself among the leaders. In
concluding his report, Dr. McVey said
that the government is constantly
calling on the University for help and
that wars are won by the increased
intelligence of trained men; the mobilization of agricultural resources, and
the development of engineering capacity.
He stated that the appropriation was
indispensable to these developments.
A digest of President McVey's report follows: The wisdom of establishing a state university as the crown
ot the public school system has been
adopted in the United States as a
necessary part of the public policy.
The report is divided into two
groups, (1) organization, (2) funds.
Funds embraces, (a) those required
for permanent Improvements, and (b)
those needed for current expenses.
