last Monday night in Buell Armory,
Kentucky's 'Cats defeated goal tossers
from Wesleyan College by a score of
46 to 5. The visitors were outclassed
In all departments of the game.
When Coach Gill's performers trotted across the floor for practice before the game, three old "K" men
were seen. Thomas, who was particular satellite for Kentucky last year,
center from NorthMarsh, the long-boern Kentucky, and Dishman. Just before the squad was brought on the
floor an election for captain was held
In the dressing room. Anthony Dishman, of Henderson, was chosen to hold
down the job made vacant by Arthur
Dastin, who recently 'decided that he'd
rather work than go to school.
Wildcats Find Basket.
When Lieutenant Hansen, C. O. ot
the S. A. T. C. at Transylvania College, started the game, five Wildcats
and five Wesleyanltes sprang into action. It was pretty close until the last
few minutes of the 'first half when the
University artists awoke from their
lethargy and began to find the .net.
The only thing that stopped them was
the timekeeper's whistle. The score
was Kentucky 10 Wesleyan 3, at the
end of the first half.

The half started in a hurry. Marsh
began to loop 'em in ever chance he
got. Everett, freshman timber, who
worked opposite the veteran Thomas,
got three baskets, and in almost every
play. Thomas got two from the floor,
both of which were good to look at.
The new captain, who was playing running guard counted twice, but was responsible for more. Burnham, another
now man, who started, played a good
game, he was especially adept in keeping the visiting forwards up among
the rafters of the gym.
WoBloyan's mode of playing was
necessarily defensivo. Five foul goals
were registered in favor of the visitors,
this being their total score. The forwards rarely ever got within striking

When they did, they were pounced
upon either by Dlshmun or Burnham.

No. 7

16, 1919

The Registrar announces that seniors are at present eligible for graduation, and have been passed upon by
the Senate in council. These seniors
have completed the necessary work
previous to their fourth year. Because
of the unsettled conditions of the University due to the "flu" epidemic, and
the disorganization of the S. A. T. C.
and due to the fact that many men are
returning from service to resume their
work In the University, the Senate has
agreed to permit students who have
not fully completed the necessary
work previous to this term to make up
the necessary hours and enter the second term as straight seniors. Of
course students of this type are not
eligible to participate in class meetings or elections, as they are not
straight seniors. Students eligible for
senior classification must have satisfied all requirements. The students in
the College of Arts and Science must
have completed 96 credits, at the beginning of their senior year; those in
the College of Agriculture must have
completed 103 semester credits; College of Law 52, and Engineers all prescribed work below the senior year.
,

At present there is a large number of
list and it behooves them to make up
students who are yet in the delinquent
this work, since the Senate has kindly
broken the precedent of not allowing
students

to enter with extra work.

It is understood that all students,
both old and new, who are entering the
University

this term will be allowed

to take only

three-fourth- s

of the pre-

scribed work in their respective colleges, but will bo given credit for a
full term's work, if the work is successfully completed.
This plan enables many students to get up with

The selection of the members of the
girls' basketball team for the first
game of the season will be made soon.
Practice games are being held every
afternoon in the armory with Miss
Nancy Innls, former K star, a graduate
of the class of '17, as coach.
Among the candidates for selection
are several K girls, who are striving
to secure their places of last year in
spite of the competition of former High
School stars, who are showing up well
In practice. Among them are Lilly
Cromwell, forward of last year's team;
Lillian Hayden, center, Dorothy Walker, guard; Lucy Dean, guard; Minnie
Jameson, Katie Henry and Mildred
Porter, substitutes.
The new girls are Margaret Harbison, Frances Heller, Anne and Emma
Williams, Elizabeth Robinson, Pearl
Morgan, Angle Hill, Lorena McMahon,
and Roberta Blackburn.
It has been reported that a game will
be played with Kentucky Wesleyan
College January 24. This is, however,
unofficial.

"Dear Dr. Boyd:
"I thank you most sincerely for your
interesting letter of October 14th, con'
talning all the news of the University,
I am very glad that you are having
such a splendid year, as I didn't ex
pect such a large enrollment, when
the war situation developed.
"I have added a little to my educa
tional achievements over here. I first
organized a number of classes in the
Navy while I was in the North. Later
I had charge of the educational work
in a number of aviation camps. With
headquarters in London, I was so
pleased with my work that when all
the air forces "washed out" recently
and returned to the good old U. S., I
was offered the position at London as
head of the educational work in the
whole area. I was gratified, of course,
that they should feel this way about
my work, but I have decided to transfer my activities to France and will
go over this week.
"I had to struggle hard to get them
to let me go over, for they were anxious for me to stay here. Very much
to my surprise, the Y. M. C. A. has
had six outlines of lessons on the
Geography of Europe, which I worked
up especially to use among mobile
troops, incorporated in a model geography for soldiers, and this is being
used everywhere as a text and as a
basis for correspondence work. They
asked me to prepare similar outlines
for a Model Geography of the British
Isles. This I have done and it will
be printed right away.
"The soldiers have received my historical lectures most favorably. I have
lectured on many historical themes.
Among the most popular are "The
Background of the War," "Our Allies,"
"England and America," "The World's
Greatest Battles and Their Lessons,"
"The League of Nations," "The
etc. Looking over this letter,
it seems very much as if I had developed a case of "egoitis." I will give
you something different for a change.

Justice. We have proved that right
is might, and that the power of the

will bo hold iu tho usual manner and
a hundsomo premium list has been
provided. Tho crop of alfalfa was exceptionally good last year, but on account of scarcity of labor, many farmers noglocted to bnle their hay or to
suve bundles of plants for exhibit.
This will cut clown the uumbor of entries, but will, of course, increaso tho
chances of winning by those who do
show. There wll lbo u bale class with
live awards, also flvo awards for tho
(diameter) bundles of
best three-incalfalfa plants.

Tho dairy cattlo club will also hold
Its show and will offer tho usual category of prizes for samples of milk, butter and cream.
Farmers' Week will have tho ablest
men on its program this year that It
has ever enjoyed. This annual ovent
offers an opportunity for ono to meet
tho leading stockmen and farmers
from all over Kentucky.

"Heinle" Beckett '11 of Hamilton, O.
Beckett, who has been reporter on
Hamilton and Cincinnati papers, and
who is at present one of the foreign
correspondents of the Cincinnati Post,
says that ho and a chum started out
for Metz one Sunday morning without
leave, and from the experiences he
cites the risk he took seems to have
been well worth the while.
Arriving at Metz, Beckett said they
were greeted by crowds of young
men and women who sang the Marsel-lalsThe streets he said were decorated with many American flags but
few British ones.

e.

One interesting incident told by
Beckett is that of a crowd of school
boys who came rushing out of school
wearing the
and crying "Bon
Jour," and then inquiring whether
President Wilson was coming with
white bread and chocolate. Beckett
says, "They see him as something between a meal ticket and Almighty
God."

Many of the German business men
expressed surprise to see these American boys in such good condition and
said that they had been told that they
were
that there were only
5,000 Americans in Europe; and that
Germany had taken New York.
Beckett assisted In the overturning of a statue of William I. under
which was the inscription, the irony
of which is now clear, "Erected by
his thankful people."
Concerning another deed similar to
this, Beckett writes, "A Frenchman
wanted us to help him tie with chains
the hands of a statue in the cathedral
William Hohenzollern had it made
in his own image as a saint. About
it now is a neat sign 'Sic. transit
passeth worldly
gloria mundiV-'- So
glory.' And the hands are chained.
It occurred to us how dignified and
cultured a way of doing it that is.
In America you'd find some such sign
as this, 'T'hell with this guy.'"
After seeing the entry of Generals .
Petain and Mangin, Beckett and his
companion started back to their regi- - '.
ment, only to find that it had left. But
they found it eighteen kilometers t
away and from the impression gotten, il
from his letter it seems that the un
official leave went unpunished.
In fact, Beckett and his chum are
tho envy of the whole regiment.
