The University of Cincinnati football team, which has within the past
four or five years come to be one of
State's biggest rivals on the gridiron,
will arrive in Lexington Saturday
morning, along with two hundred loyal supporters, to meet the Wildcats ki
their annual contest. Each team has
annexed two of the previous contests,
thus adding intensity to the situation.
On "dope" and from the opinions of
ment in a position to know, Kentucky
should have little difficulty In taking
the game, however, Cincy Is always
primed for this game and may spring
a surprise in the local camp. Her line
is practically the same as that which
met and defeated State last year 14

stead, and has been showing up remarkably well.
Coach Tigert said yesterday, that

be made in the State line-uwill meet Cincinnati, from that sent
against Sewanee last Saturday. The
most likely change is that Brlttain
will be used at full a part of the
game.
All of the men, with the exception
of Rodes, who will be out of the game
for several weeks, because of an in
jured shoulder sustained In the Sewanee game, are in good condition,
even better than a week ago. They
have been given some stiff work-out- s
this week, and may also uncork several news plays, which have not been
seen on Stoll Field this season.
Two hundred tickets have been
gent to Cincinnati 'at her request.
From this it appears that State's
cheering section, as well as the team,
is going to have some opposition.
Cincinnati treated State students
fine over there last (fall, and it is
hoped they will receive just as hearty
a reception. The treatment accorded
the Sewanee men was all that could
be desired. Many say that a more
friendly spirit was manifested, than
has ever been seen here.
Coach Tigert was especially gratl-feat this demonstration of hospitality. Every student is asked to come
out Saturday and help the Wildcats
give them a good "drubbing," however, also to make them feel that he

eight entries have been received, all
of them boys. Several young ladies
have signified their intention to come
out, but none have formally entered
as yet The Strollers ask that the entries all be in by the first of next week
at the latest as a great deal of work
must be done by the organization in
order to get things ready for the
event.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:

For the beet single act (boys) $5;
for the best single act (girls) $5; and
for the best act with two or more
participants, $10. Those who come
out for Amateur Night will in all probability be taken into the organization.
The awards will be made by impartial
Judges selected by the Strollers. In
the event that a great many enter the
competition, an elimination
contest
will be held before Amateus Night
and only two acts in each class win
be left on the program for Amateur
Night proper.
The Strollers are much gratified by
the interest which is being taken by
the male studnets of the University
in the matter and hope that the coeds will demonstrate that they are as
much interested as the boys. The
large majority o fthose who have entered so far are men who have been
in the University a year or more and
realize the advantages to be derived
from membership in such a live organization as the Strollers. See the
stage manager, William Shinnick, or
any other Stroller, at once concerning
your entry. There will be a place for
your act Amateur Night.
The acts which have been entered

musical acts to dramatic and high
comedy monologues. Several actors
will pull off declamations, and the
program will be a varied one. Admission will be free to the celebration,,
and a large crowd is assured.

KINNE REPLACES RODES IN SECOND QUARTER
After a lapse of six or seven years,
State and Sewanee met on Stoll Field
last Saturday afternoon and battled at
tie, in a game in
football to a
which Kentucky's fighting spirit, a
famous asset of the Blue and White
team, came to the rescue; and warded
off defeat. The game was replete with
spectacular playing, and honors were
about even in every department when
the timekeeper called "quits." The
Purple men, of the University of the
South, secured more yardage, by virtue of the clever returning of punts
by. Herring, Clark and
and kick-offSellers, while the Wildcats scored
thirteen first downs to the visitors'

nine.
Many say that Kentucky should
have won the game. The last half
belonged to her, undeniably; the first
quarter was a toss-up- ,
and Sewanee
was master of the situation in the secon
ond period. A bit of
the part of a Blue- man prevented
State from winning the game by one
point. Clark, of Sewanee, punted out
after his team had scored a touchdown, and the ball was fumbled.
However, one of State's men was offside and this allowed Sewanee another try, which was successful.
To Kentucky's fast and aggressive
line work is attributed her only touchIn the third quarter, after an

line. Not to be denied their share of
the honors, State began to rush things
and by a series of line bucks by
Schrader, Haydou and Grabfelder, the
d
ball was placed on Sewanee's
line. On the next play, Kinne,
substitute quarter, pushed it over in a
short quarterback plunge. Schrader
kicked a perfect goal from an angle,
tying the score.
Neither side was ever again in striking distance for a touchdown, though
fear chilled the hearts of the five thousand fans, when, just after Sewanee

The only serious injury incurred by
either team was a dislocated shoulder
sustained by "Doc" Rodes,' State's
able quarterback. Kinne was- shifted
to quarter, which responsible position
he held creditably. Kelley, the only
second string man to get into the
'game, replaced Kinne at end.
On two occasions triumph for the
Wildcat forces rested with Captain
Schrader, and on both occasions an
attempted drop kick fell short of the
bar. The first of these was tried soon
after the opening of the fourth quarter, the other attempt being made
shortly before the final blast of the
whistle. This one went wide and
with it went the Wildcats' chances for
a victory.
