This banquet is always one of the
big events of the year and comprises
a feast of song, a vaudeville show, and
an enormous feed, m one. Last year's

and made her way to one of the tables

the revelers became aware of the' fact
that the whole thing was a hoax, so
well had "she" played her part.

of the. election of James William
("Fats") Thompson, star tackle and
irreslstable line plunger of the Wildcats of the past three years, wlho was
chosen last night to lead the football
eleven during the season of 1916.
The election was held at the dinner
given the team last Friday night by
Dr. John J. Tigert in honor of the
team. William ("Doc") Rodes and
Maurle Crutcher,
quarterback and
end, respectively, were also nominated.
Thompson's election 'is a tribute .to
the consistent game which he has
played at all times. He was picked
for a tackle position on an
team by practically all the sport
writers' and college football coaches.
He is big and heavy, and possessed of
that equally valuable quality speed.
His home is in Falmouth.
In every game of the season Thomp- sea's-liabucking tendencies wsre en
couraged by frequent use of the
"Thompson back" formation when,
gains were needed and it was a
strong line that was able to deprive
Records
him of quota of yardage.
show that his total number of. gains
for the season is greatly in excess of
that made by the average tackle. He
runs low and! his great strength carries him through many a tackier. It
is being whispered about the campus
that next year he may play in the
back field, if some one can be found
to take his place in the line.
After the election of captain Dr. Tigert presented each of the "K" men
with a small gold football on which
was engraved a "K" and 1915. In a
brief address to his guests Dr. Tigert
paid tribute not only to their ability
as football players individually, but to
their team work.

'Miss Rebecca Smith, aSenior in the
College of Arts and Science, was recommended by 'Dean Hamilton to join-thHenry Ford peace trip to Europe,
in response to a telegram received
Thursday, asking her to recommend
a suitable young woman to accompany the peace party as a represent
ative of the University. The telegram
came too late, however, for Miss
Smith to communicate with her par
ents about the matter.
Dean Hamilton also recommended
Miss A. Evelyn Newman, of New York
City, a former student of the University. On the peace ship which sailed
Saturday, was Miss Helen Lowry,
formerly a student here, who is making the trip as a representative of the
International News Service.
Miss Smith, who Is one of the most
widely-knowand popular students of
the University, is a Junior In the Department of Journalism.
She is a
linguist of considerable ability and
was offered a fellowship in languages
in the University this year.
Besides standing high in her college
work, Miss Smith is also a leader In
college activities. She has charge of
agricultural bullethe
tin, Is
of the Kentucky
Kernel, and is on the Kentucklan staff.
The fact that the University was '
called upon to recommend a student
for the peace trip is an appreciation
of the work that it is doing, and of
the national prominence of Dean Hamilton, who was a delegate to the National Peace Conference at St Louis
in 1913, and a former president of the
Federated Women's Clubs of Ken
tucky.
