and although he cannot play these
games afterward, if he is also a
tennis player, he still can keep up
his athletics."
William T. Tilden shows himself
a disciple of his avocation, acting.
His enunciation is perfect, and Is
purely cosmopolitan.
He does not
have the English accent that so
many have who have spent much
time in England and on the Continent. Nor does he speak the
American language as so many of
us recognize it. His speech is more
that of an actor. He does not drawl
final syllables, nor does he clip
them. That is Tilden the actor.
"The standard of college tennis
definitely has come up higher, although there are not many outstanding players outside of Vines,
eiedhlll, Grant, and Cohen. I don't
believe there are more individual
stars today than there were 15 years
ago when Wallace Johnson and the
great players of that day were at
their height, but through the influence of tennis more players are able
to take up the game."
Tilden was at home speaking of
tennis players, and as he has a
right to be, he spoke authoritatively. He doesn't think that profes
sional training Is necessary to round
out a collegiate star. If the pro
fessional has gone through the
grind of tournament play himself
and knows every bit of it, then he
is qualified to teach others who are

contemplating championship ten

nis, but not until then. He feels
that a tennis player may by dint
of steady practice put himself up
there without the aid of professional training.
Tilden is leaving shortly for England and Europe where he expects
to tour, playing with Burke, and
two European professionals. The
rest of his troupe will remain in
rest of
America for a
six or eight weeks. This is Tilden
the tennis player and we shall see
more of him as a tennis player
when he plays here tomorrow. He
is sure of himself, and anyone who
well-earn- ed

has seen the white streak he makes
of the ball when he serves knows
that as a tennis player he Is without a doubt the outstanding one of

all time.
Tilden the man came out as we
were leaving. He was preparing for
dinner . He was simply dressed
(this for the benefit of his feminine
admirers) in white linen trousers,
grey coat, and black and white
sport shoes. He had on a blue
shirt and gray figured tie with a

which he still has a good deal, was
combed straight back from his
forehead. Then as we were leaving
we told him that the interview
would appear in today's Kernel.
"We'll give you all a boost, and
thanks for the interview," we said.
"That's what we want," he replied
and smiled. That was Tilden the
man, six feet, four Inches of a
man.

Courses Added

discussion, for graduate students in a new seminar

Daniel W. Goodman,

The majority of the girls in
America are pretty good looking,
says Roger Capron, the university's
newest student from Paris, the real
Paris, France, where feminine pulchritude Is supposed to be no rarity.
The young women of this country
are more active and farther advanced than the girls of France, he
thinks.
in Lexington
Capron
arrived
Tuesday to enter the university,
having left Cherbourg September 4
in company with Gene Thompson,
whose house guest he will be during
his stay in Lexington.
Except for having to write his
name so many times during the
process of registration, M. Capron
considers the university a tolerably
good dump. He is especially well
pleased with the faculty members
in the English, commerce, and
French departments, where he is
Paraconcentrating his studies.
doxically, he Is registered in several French classes in order to learn
English, In as much as oral translations in class will familiarize him
with the English expressions equivalent to the French phrases translated.
Capron estmates that it will take
several months for him to gain a
working knowledge of the American
tongue.
That Americans express affirmation by "uh huh" he finds exceedingly amusing. The French describe the expression as a "double
groan."
In comparing the'uhiversity with
the University of Paris, Capron remarks on the difference from the
latter, where class attendance is not
at all compulsory, and, in fact, Is
not expected. But should the whole
enrollment of the university suddenly take a notion to convene at
one time, there are provided several auditoriums capacious enough
to house the whole group.
The New York skyline attracted
Capron the most forcefully of all
the new sights he encountered after
leaving his natlce land. In Paris
the buildings are restricted to eight
stories, and he had never viewed a
modern skyscraper previously.
Monsieur Capron says that he
has not had occasion to observe
American tourists a great deal in
Paris, bat at the Cote d Azur he
has, and there he must report that
they do excessive honors to the
brewing and vintage skill of the
French.
He states that he does not himself
think so highly of prohibition in
the United States, contending that
it costs too much and is too diffi
cult of enforcement, but that a few
more years may reverse his opinion
on the score. He adds that the law
is causing him no inconvenience, in
as much as he knew in advance of
this nation's aridity, and decided
that he could get along nicely without beverages customarily imbibed
in France. Wine sipping in France
is more of a habit than a means to
please the taste, the writer was told.
He was warned that the liqueurs of
Kentucky are not potable, should
he be approached by ostensibly kind
but unscrupulous venders of forbid
den fruit juices. Thus far Capron
likes this country well, and he
promises to tell more of his Im
pressions when he is ready to depart, next May, when he will return
to Paris to take his law examinations.

TOTAL ENROLLED

RISES TO 3,037
Figures to Date Show Loss of
37 from Record Same
Time in 1930
LATE FEE IS IN EFFECT
Revealing a total of 3.037 students matriculating in all branches
of the university at the end of the
ninth day of enrollment, registrar's
assistants predicted a final mark
of nearly 3,100 freshmen and
when the registration division closes its books September
28.
Figures to date show a loss of
37 from the record breaking total
released last year at a corresponding time, when 3,074 students had
matriculated.
The loss of this year, which is
attributed to the business depression, is most pronounced among the
freshman class. A freshman student body of 67S at the end of the
first two days special registration,
as compared with 950 for the same
time last year. Indicated that only

match on the university courts at
3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, it
has been announced by Prof. H. H.
Downing, coach of the university
tennis teams.
Tilden and his entourage played
In Louisville last Saturday, and In

Dayton, Ohio, Sunday afternoon.
They arrived in Lexington
early
Monday morning, having traveled
by motor from Dayton.
Professor Downing made arrangements for the Lexington exhibition,
via long distance telephone, calling
the star in Louisville Saturday afternoon.
With Tilden are Emmett Pare,
former clay courts champion, Bruce
Barnes,
in the
tournament in June, and
Albert Burke, ranking second European professional.
The exhibition will consist of
two singles matches and a doubles
match.
Tilden and one of these
three players, probably Burke, will
play one singles match, while the
other two will be paired off in another singles match. A doubles
match between the four will end
the exhibition.
The matches will be played on
number two court of the university, the court chosen by Tilden after an inspection of the campus as
the best suited for the matches.
Bleachers are being erected to take
care of the expected crowd. Reserve seat tickets are on sale at
Graves-Coreserve seat tickets being $1.50, general admission $1.00,
and for students appearing with
their athletic books the admission
will be 50 cents. The university's
part will go to the university tennis team fund.

Christian Gauss, Dean of Princeton University, in an article in the
September issue of Forum entitled,
"The Lost Generation" states: "It
may be said that the induction of
the college classes of 1931 into the
larger world was not an auspicious
one... There are no Jobs available;
it Is as if we had dropped them on
the hard surface of an asphalt lake
and told them to swim ashore."
The reaction of these recent graduates shows a decided tendency to
turn toward the same environment
which they have lived under for
the past four years for a solution to
their problem, namely, to continue
their education In either a professional or a graduate school.
Investigations show that there Is
an increase of approximately eleven
per cent in the registration of graduate students. Kentucky's graduate
school shows an appreciable increase in students. Instead of solving their problem these students
are merely postponing the day of
reckoning. In the past decade sixty to eighty per cent of the college
graduates have been absorbed by
business, and with the decrease in
business there is practically no
place for the college man In the
already saturated professions. However, America Is more fortunate
than Europe In this respect Inasmuch as our professional and class
distinctions are not so rigid. The

University students, facutly mem
bers, business men, and most particularly the coaching staff are at
present spending a great deal of
time In the seemingly futile consideration of the Wildcats' football
prospects for the coming season.
Everyone is able to tell one exactly
how many games the team will
win, why it will win that many and
no more, and whose fault or to
whose credit it Is that such will
be the case. A slight difficulty, however, arises in the fact that everyone has a different number and
combination of games which the
'Cats will win.
