Wildcats Have Won Three
Out of Four Meets
This Year
Kentucky's
Wildcats
left this
morning for Knoxville, Tennessee,
where tomorrow afternoon they will
compete with the Tennessee Vols In
the Big Blue's last track meet of the
season and the final one in the collegiate career of Capt. Douglas Par-rls- h
,
and Ralph Kercheval.
The 'Cats will bring to a close tomorrow one of their most successful
seasons. They have engaged in four
meets so far and three of the results
have found the Shivelymen on the
winning side of the ledger. Their
only loss of the season was to the
powerful Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets, who have one of the best
track teams in the South. Parrlsh's
only defeat in two years in the century was at the hands of Gallloway,
fleet Tech dash man.
Kentucky should experience little
trouble tomorrow in the javelin and
the pole vault. Kercheval, who does
the heaving of the spear, has yet
to meet his match. He has tossed
the javelin as far as 183 feet, but has
won every Javelin event this year
with a 173 foot toss. "Stonewall"
Jackson, can pole vault 12 feet, but
he, likewise, has yet to meet his
superior, and has won or tied with
a team mate in every one of his
events this year with 11 feet or less.
The Wildcat distance men, Hocker,
Hocker,
and Fields,
went down in defeat last
Monday for the first time this year,
but have improved some this week
and can be expected to come through
in their respective events. Captain

O, W. Warmingham's

address to the
engineers at their regular assembly
which was held at 10 a. m. Wednesday in Memorial hall.
Doctor Warmingham declared
that there are two theories of life,
the first, extension, and the second,
thinking, which he classed as the
major process, without which one
would not be in college. The speaker observed that writers say things
and put them down In books but
they themselves do not live them.
The speaker pointed out that
a partnership conducted
properly,
without false conceit, is of great
dignity, and that we should work
for freedom with the largest possible measure.
In constructing a
building it must serve the purpose
of living in it, the speaker continued, not because one person says
so, but because the world orders it,
and the same rule applies to life
since we all have to live with our
fellow men.
"I believe the sportsman's idea is
the struggle of life. The game of
football Is organized to be able to
meet the obstacles later on in life,"
concluded Doctor Warmingham.

W. S. G. A. ELECTIONS
TO BE HELD MONDAY
Election of officers of the Women's
Self Government association will be
held from 9:30 a. m. until 3 p. m.
Monday.
The following have been nominated by the senior nomination com-

mittee:

Mary Carolyn Terrell and Jean
Foxworth, president; Mary Heizer
and Marjorie Powell,

Martha Giltner and Frances Kerr,
secretary; Charlotte Coffman and
Ruth Hallmark, treasurer.
This list is not final.
Other
nominees will be added as new petitions come in. The results of the
election will be announced Monday
night at the women's banquet.

A Droiect. consisting

nf th ctH
the taxation, assessment and sales
of farm land in every county in the
state was conducted by the Agricultural experiment station, in coopera
tion wun tne united States department Of Agriculture, with tha
!,.
tance of the Civil Works Adminis
program which came to a
tration
of

close Sunday.

As a result of this work, there is
now on file at the experiment station 300,000 records of transactions
affecting the assessment, taxation
and sale of farm lands throughout
the state. This is said to be the most
information of its kind ever assembled in Kentucky.
The sale and assessed value were
obtained on every farm that had
been transferred for ftnv nurnnu in
the state In the last three years, and
in some counties tor as iar back as
35 years. A history of all farm
land
tax delinquencies for the last six
years was obtained.
The tax delinquency data shows
the number of acres involved, toe
assessed valuation of both laud and
improvements, the general and special taxes, and whether buyers, in
cases of land sold for taxes, were
public or private.
Other information was recorded
regarding the relationship between
the assessed and sales values of farm
lands. This tends to indicate whether the land was under or over
assessed. The trend of land sales as
fur back as 1875 is shown in statistics gathered in many counties.
The study was one of the major
CWA projects conducted under the
auspices of the University of Kentucky. Four to five local persons
were employed in every county to
gather the information. The material was then brought to the experiment station, where it will be tabulated, studied and analysed. C. J.
Bradley, of the department of markets and rural finance, served as
director of the project.

The Kentucky band was given
the rating of "The Best Band in

8lnee that time other Institutions
In the South have done considerable work on their bands, but the
Wildcat musicians still carry the
rating given them nine years ago.
The Atlanta trip is representative
of the trips taken by the band, the
latest long trips being to Washington. D. C, in 1931. and Birmingham, Alabama, In 1933.
In 1926, duties in the music department became such that Pro
fessor Lampert was forced to give
up the band work and Elmer O.
Sulzer was made director. He directed the band through the height
of its growth until 1933 when he
resigned. At that time, John Lewis Jr. was employed as director and
in his one year of service the band
has shown splendid results. Mr.
Lewis, a graduate of Kentucky
Wesleyan college, has been outstanding in Kentucky as a musician
and as a director.
Each year there are a number
of scholarships given to high school
graduates who have distinguished
themselves as musicians in high
school and have shown themselves
to have outstanding ability as players. These scholarships are given
to persons who play orchestra Instruments as well as band Instruments.
