The Kappa Sigma team won the
basketball league championship of the University last Saturday afternoon when they defeated
the fast A. T. O. bunch in the gym
by the score of 38 to 34. The championship carries with It the possession
of the silver cup awarded by the
Council.
The game thruout was fast and
furiouB, the playing at times being of
real varsity caliber. The score at the
in
end of the first half stood at
favor of the Kappa Sigs. At the end
of the second half the scorekeepers
disagreed, one counting the points at
with A.
and the other at
T. O. trailing. According to the rules
the lower score counted and the game
was declared a tie. In the
play-of- f
Kappa Sigma caged three baskets to Alpha Tau's one.
The star work of the game was done
by Archer, a Cumberland College product, and Thomas, the Lexington High
School star wiho recently matriculated at the University. The goal shooting and floor work of both these men
was remarkable. Others who did well
were Evans and Berckman, for Kappa
Sigma, and Hopkins, Moseley and
Scrivener, for A. T. O.
Both teams had a clean record until
Saturday.
The last games will be
played next Saturday. Kappa Sigma's
team have finished their schedule.

MEN ARE

OUT

The track team under the direction
of "Dad" Boles, a Zuppke product, will
endeavor to stage a comeback on the
cinder patli and with the weights this
season. The team will be built from
material selected from the thirty-fivor forty men who are out. Determined effort is bting made by Coach
Boles and Dr. Tigert to instill a spirit
of 'greater interest in track athletics
than has been manifested in the last
few years.
Nuclei of the team will be Captain
Earle Grabfelder, the undisputed
sprinting champion of the State since
the retirement of Sid Cowles from
the otmder path, and Hickerson, a
weight man who gave great promise
in his Freshman year, who is expected to show even greater ability with
the shot, discus and hammer this
season.
Gus Gay, a former Lexington High
School star, and Heber, a football
man, are the men of the high aspirations. Gay has been clearing the bar
in 'practice at 5 feet 4 inches and is
still in early season form.
Oldham and Parker are interested
in the hurdles. The distance runners,
who are for the most part new men,
are out in great numbers.
Meets are scheduled with Georgetown and Vanderbilt and negotiations
are now under way for a meet with
Sewanee.
A team will be selected from Grabfelder, Shinnick, Kinne, Corn. Bron-stoanid Knight to represent the University in an indoor meet to be held
in the armory at Louisville on Satur
day. The
athletes have
been showing up particularly well in
early practice.
