with Banquet for Netmen
Monday Night

A cheering crowd of 400 university students and citizens of Lexington led by the "Best Band in Dixie"
thronged the square in front of the
Southern railway station at 8:30
o'clock Wednesday night to welcome
the returning Wildcat basketball
squad. Although the team did not
win the conference title a large
crowd came out to show their appreciation for the gallant effort put
forth by the players.
Plans for a parade through the
downtown section of Lexington were
cancelled due to the Inclement
weather and the team, band and
the fans proceeded directly to the
university gymnasium on Euclid
avenue, where the squad was form
ally welcomed by the student body.
In a brief address of welcome
President McVey said, "Not only
are we proud of these boys for the
courage, the skill, and the fortitude
that carried them to the final game
but we are proud of them for the
way they accepted the verdict of
the game. They; are real sportsmen."
Coach Adolph Rupp, who led the
Wildcats through their successful
season, and into the finals of the
Southern Conference tournament,
paid tribute to the fighting spirit of
his team, which overcame an almost hopeless lead only to lose in
the final 40 seconds of play by a
shot that was almost marvelous.
He also praised the courage of
George Yates, the lanky center,
who, although suffering from an
attack of influenza, played a brilliant brand of basketball which won
him a place on the
team.
Carey Spicer, captain of the
team, praised his teammates in a
short talk, and also declared that
"Coach Rupp is the greatest coach
in the South."
Vernon Chandler, president of the
SuKy Circle, student pep organization, presided at the meeting.
Cheers were led by Blade Carr, and
the band, directed by Elmer G.
Sulzer, played several numbers. The
program at the gymnasium was
brief in order that the players,

and the long ride from Atlanta,

PERCENTAGE OF
ABSENCES SMALL
Only Eight and 11 Percent of

Students Fail to Attend
Classes Monday and Tuesday

The results of a survey of class
absences for Monday and Tuesday
of this week to determine the seriousness and extent of influenza
cases in the university yesterday
showed that the percentage of total
absences is not adnormal and
that the danger of an influenza epidemic is not eminent.
President McVcy said yesterday
that only eight per cent of the
student body were absent from
classes Monday, and that 11 per)
cent were absent Tuesday, Ho added that these figures are not above
the ordinary number of absences,
despite the prevalence of head colds
and sore throats among students.
The survey conducted by President
McVey included all colleges of the
university.
Dr. J. W. Chambers, head of the
university dispensary, said yesterday that although there were cases
of influenza In the university, the
situation hod not reached serious
proportions. Doctor Chambers added that students should take particular care to avoid exposure and
should get adequate rest. When
asked whether or not the present
number of cases would necessitate a
closing of the university, Dr. Chambers said' thai "a move of this sort
would be entirely unwarranted and
unnecessary."
During the past week several
rumors have spread among the students to the effect that the university would close if the number of
cases of inllucnza were not diminished. The reports were later discovered as unfounded and without authoritative source.

A PROMISE

promise Is an excellent thing, particularly
when it Is kept. Another characteristic of
human beings which aids In making life much
more enjoyable and profitable Is cooperation.
But both of these qualities nrc merely nbstract
unless energy and perseverance lies behind
them.
Plans arc worthless unless carried through to
fulfillment. It Is exceedingly disheartening to
persons who work hard and spend a great deal
of time on plans to have them fall through, not
because of their own fault, but because some
promise was broken.
Examples of broken promises and upkept intentions are always numerous in life. Disappointments arc not unusual. But at least one
can choose a comparatively unimportant time
to break a promise and fall to lend their cooperation to n project than the time of the arrival of a basketball team which has done marvelous work, and of which the entire university
is proud.
Yet this Is what happened when the Wildcat
baskcteers arrived in Lexington. A parade was
planned I Traffic cops were stationed along the
route to be followed through Main street to the
men's gym.
The decorated cars were in line waiting to be
led off through town, the traffic escort was in
readiness, but the promised leaders of the
parade walked nonchalantly off in every direction, leaving the crowd astounded at their taking leave without any form of notice. They
caused the planned tribute to the team to fizzle
out Into a bedraggled pep meeting, composed
of students wandering to the gymnasium after
searching all over town for the parade. Atttr
all we are led to wonder, what is in a promise?
