EMBARRASSED.

iMoRGANToWN. Oct. Manager
Ely has cancelled the football game
scheduled with Kentucky University
for Saturday. The game was looked
upon as one OF the big home contests
OF the season. and guarantee OF 1925
was offered the visitors. Since the
contract was made, Manager Ely has
learned that the Kentucky team is de.
plorably weak. and that In contest
with the varsity eleven. will make a
showing but little better than the
showing made by teams that cost less
than 800. The Kentucky eleven was
defeated by Vanderbilt 40 TO 0. In
previous years. they have made good
showings against elevens stronger
than West iyrginIa's. This year is
an exception. however. and the. Ken.
tuckians are not considered worth the
guarantee.
The matter Of game for Saturday
Is unsettled. Manager Ely has It un.
der consideration. but Is embarrassed
by lack of funds to pay the necessary
guarantee. The gate receipts for the
previous games OF the season have fal.
len short OF expenses. and now the
manager receives the information that
there are no funds available from the
athletic fees paid by the students. The
gate receipts OF course are cut down
considerably since the fee system was
introduced. as the students are allow.
ed to go into the grounds without
charge. 1t was commonly supposed
that the fees collected from the stu
dents We're 10 be applied In part to the
payment of deficits of this kind. but
II seems that the fund has already
meen exhausted in the payment of a
coach and the purchase OF equipment
