FOR KEG

Their Last Game
Tomorrow
(By KENNETH GREGORY)
Kentucky forfeit the "Bee.-Keg" to the Volunteers? That is the
question that is uppermost in tha
mind of every backer and fan who has
followed the Wildcats throughout the
season, win or lose.
A squad of Blue and White football
warriors, all in good condition, left
last night and several hundred fans
and the loyal Kentucky band of 55
pieces will entrain for Knoxville to
night, the eve of the annual Turkey
Day tilt with the Tennessee aggregation.
Tomorrow afternoon the Blue and
the Orange will do battle in a game
which means much more to Kentucky
than to the Vols. Should the Blue
and White lose the game to Tennessee,
it cannot be well said that they had
performed successfully during the
1926 season. The
struggle concludes the football drama
this year for the two teams.
A cloud of gloom has hovered
over the Kentucky institution since
last Saturday afternoon, when a team
of "Praying Colonels" sprang up in
fortnight
and swooped down upon
Stoll field taking away a well earned
victory and one that they truly deserved. But this is history and the
Blue and White team will go into the
fray tomorrow with a new fight, one
that should return them victors.

Well, how do you like the freshman armbands?
It has long been a topic for discussion, among authorities in the
realm of upper classmen, as to
whether the freshman girs should
not, in this day of the equality of the
sexes, be required to wear some insignia as significant as that worn by
the men. The freshman boys have,
been murmuring, audibly, against the
injustice which singled them out and
let the girls go scot free. And, finally, this year, the budding

pride to every freshman girl to flaunt

she goes.

During his three years at the university, Coach Eklund has gained the

"Trial by Jury," a dramatic canin one act, has been selected by
Prof. Carl Lampert as the opera to
be given by the Girls Glee club some
time before the Christmas holidays.
The parts, all of which are sung, have
been assigned and work will be cam- menced immediately.
"Trial by Jury" is a characteristic
Gilbert and Sullivan musical play, in
that it criticises certain existing evils
and weaknesses of mankind. This proon our jury
duction is a fine take-of- f
system, deaing with a breach of compromise case and criticising the mushy
sentimentality of a typical jury. In
the original play only one part was
taken by a woman. Professor Lam
bert has however reversed the sexes,
and in this play even the one man
will be a woman.

The Glee club of the university is

voice instructors in the state of Ken- tcky, is giving the club special studies in tone production, and under his

Heretofore, the club has not had the
advantage of this special instruction,
but now the members are confident
that this year's organization will rank
with the best of those from other universities.
The biggest event on the Glee club
program is the annual spring tour.
This year Professor Lampert hopes
to make some of the larger eastern

All the members seem determined to

campus last Saturday to witness the
annual tilt between the Wildcats and
the Colonels of Centre College. The
number of homecomers was probably
the largst in the history of homecoming games. They came in trains,
automobiles, on interurbans, trucks
and one came in an airplane. En
thusiasm raigned supreme. The dance
was the largest affair of its kind ever
held on the campus of the University
of Kentucky when approximately
2,000 persons presented themselves at
the New Basketball building Saturday
night to dance.
Each year the interest in the team
grows and grows despite setbacks and
defeats. Each year marks a greater
step in the progress of the University of Kentucky and its graduates,
former students and students.
Truly we are fast becoming the
leading university in the South.
Alumni interest, as shown Saturday
is one of the indications that nothing can stop the forward trend of
the university. Of course the prime
interest last Saturday was the game
between the ancient rivals of the
Wildcats. Wle lost it is true but the
interest of the Alumni was not lost.
That the interest of the University

was shown Saturday.

it is a sure sign that everything pertaining to the University of Kentucky

for them to rally even closer and back

Games See Annual Tilt
With Centre

The attendance of Alumni at the
annual homecoming game, played this
year between the Wildcats and Centre College Colonels, was probably
the largest in the history of home
coming games on the campus of the
University of Kentucky. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 persons saw the game last Saturday. The
Alumni were estimated to be several
hundreds.
Although the day was bitter cold,
fans and followers of the Wildcats
braved the weather and sat through
the game until the final whistle blew.
The game itself will be found fully described in other columns of this issue of the Kernel.
At the annual homecoming dance,
attended by more than 2,000 persons,
old grads and former students were
everywhere in evidence. The dance
was the largest function of its kind
ever held on the campus of the University of Kentucky. As was the
custom, teams of the University of
Kentucky and Centre College were the
guests of honor at the dance. This
year the Omega Delta Kappa honorary senior fraternity for campus
leaders, hjeld its pledging srevices

men, who are outstanding on the campus, were pledged to the organization.
The only other feature on the program for the day was the annual
luncheon of the Alumni of the College of Law. This was held at the
Phoenix hotel at 12 o'clock. Dr.
McVey welcomed the returning lawyers and was the only speaker on
the program. Approximately 100
Alumni of the college were present
at the luncheon.
The homecoming game next year
will be on Thanksgiving day when the
annual battle between the University
of Tennessee Volunteers and the Wildcats will be staged on Stoll field.
