The hall was charming in the profuse decorations betokening the Yule-tid- e

PROPPS ELECTED TO

BASEBALL CAPTAINCY

At a meeting of the baseball "K"
men of the University held last week,
Bryan Propp3, a Kentucky star of
three seasons, was elected to the captaincy of the 1920 baseball squad, to
succeed Marlon Lasley, who was
elected captain last spring but who
did not return to school this fall.
The new captain, known to every
Kentucky baseball fan as "Speedy,"
has been a member of the varsity
team since his entrance Into the University three years ago. MoBt of the
time he has been "tagging them at
second," but is a capable man la most
any of the fielding positions. He is
considered the most consistent batter
on the squad; last year leading the
battins average, and coming in with
safe licks several times during the
eeason when hits meant runB. Propps
