KENTUCKY

STREET CAR CRASHES INTO CABLE BORNE IN PARADE

TEAM

One of the most unfortunate tragedies in tho hlBtory of the University
happened last Friday afternoon, October 15, when Eldridge Griffith, a
Freshman In the Arts and Science Department, Was thrown to the ground
and received fatal Injuries when at
the corner of North Broadway and
Third Street a street car crashed Into
the steel cable which had been used

in the Freshman-Sophomorwar and which was being borrte
through the streets by the Freshmen
In celebration of their victory over the
upper class men, from wljich injuries
he died' a few hours later. The impact of the car upon the cable threw
Griffith and a number of others to
the ground, breaking Griffith's neck
and injuring a dozen others in a
greater or less degree. Griffith
consciousness
and
lever regained
died at St. Joseph's Hospital at 8:15
o'clock that night.
Griffith was 18 years old and the
son of J. L. Griffith, a merchant of
Benton, Marshall County, in the western part of the State. Although he
had been a student in the University
only since September, he had made
many riends and was well liked by
all who knew him. His death was
generally regretted by the students
and the tragedy was a shock to all,
coming as it did at the end of what
Judge Barker described as "one of
the happiest days in the history of the
school, since I become president and
after one of the fairest and most honest class contests and one of the most
parades I have ever witnessed."
Saturday at noon the students assembled in a mass meeting at which
it was announced that all of Che
functions of the day, including a Cadet Hop and a track meet had been
called off in honor of the unfortunate
young man, and at which resolutions
were passed as follows:
"We, the students of State University of Kentucky, in mass meeting
assembled, desire to pay respect to
the memory of Eldridge S. Griffith,
our fellow student, who met an untimely death on yesterday afternoon.
"Our brother was a Freshman and
had been with us only a few weeks,
but even in that brief time he had
endeared himself to all who knew
him, whether of the faculty or the
student body. He was an upright,
honorable young man, who, though
full of college spirit, lived a clean
life and gave rich promise of rounding out into a
useful
man .
"We deplore his loss and hereby
express to his family and friends our

Miss Martin was taken to the Good

The team was beaten fairly

Never before has State been accorded such a welcome. Mississippi had
advertised It as her biggest game and
made It just that by her enthusiasm

encourage Kentucky's men to greater
efforts. When time was finally called,

swarmed to the field and carried both

The Memphis Commercial Appeal in
commenting on the game, said:

interference was much better, and
Nobles, at quarter, showed better
judgment in directing the play.
Kentucky State had a fast and

Previous Meeting
A meeting of about fifty members
of the Senior class was held In chapel

Monday afternoon, at which a petition was drawn up nnd signed requesting President Barker to call another
election of Senior class officers and
setting out the reasons for their belief
that the election previously held was
Illegal. At a meeting of the class
held more than a week ago at wlhch
considerable friction between two
factions developed, officers were elected as follows: O. M. Edwards, president; Miss Mary Howard, vice president; Miss Mary L. Dougherty, secretary; M. D. Amburgy, treasurer; R.
E. Cullen, giftorian; Miss Josie Lacer
Hayes, historian; Miss Marie Louise
MIchot, prophet; Julius Wolf, repre-- j
sentative; G. C. Wilson, orator, and
Herbert Felix, grumbler.
According to the petition which was
signed at the meeting Monday, there
were irregularities In the previous
election, which make it Invalid, as fol
lows: The total number of votes cast1
for the three candidates for president
exceeded the number of persons present; the vote of F. S. Ginochio was
thrown out of the election In a manner declared by the petition to be Illegal; and the acting chairman, R.
E. Hundley, refused to recognize an
appeal from the decision of the chair.
It was stated by W. W. Clarke, who
presided over the meeting Monday,
vat Mr. Edwards had agreed to call
another election of officers in case
Judge Barker decided that he had
been elected Illegally, and It was
agreed by those who attended the
meeting Monday afternoon, that they
would abide by Judge Barker's decision and if he ruled that the former
election was legal they would accept
the officers elected then as the Senior
class officers.

"Willie, did you tie that tin can to
he dog's tall?"
"Yes, sir," replied the small boy,
"I'm trying to do a kind act every day.
That dog chases every rabbit he sees.
I tied the can to him so that it will
make a noise and warn the rabbit."

No Blame.
The verdict of the Coroner's Jury on 'the death of Eldridge Griffith
was as follows: "He came to his death at 8:00 p. m., October 15, 1915, in
'
St. Joseph's Hospital from Injuries received by being struck by a cable,
same being run into by a city street car on or near the corner of Broadway
and Third Street."
Immediately following this the case against Motorman Jacobs was
dismissed .by the court.
The Coroner's jury and the court have seen fit to place no blame
,
for this deplorable tragedy. We shall do likewise and content ourselves
with a brief discussion of certain phases of the occurrence.
