 During the last minutes of play the thin Red Line spread itself across the field like a trench ill the war zone and in half a dozen long runs and bucks went from their own 20-yard line to Kentucky S 25-yard mark.
 The last play of the game came when Dishman intercepted an Alabama try at forward pass on the 15-yard line and re- turned it 10 yards, then the whistle blew and Kentucky was beaten again This was the first game ever played between the two universities. The Alabamians received a warm welcome here, and al though they were late in arriving, because of a delayed train this morning, had time to make many friends
 Stowers was by long odds the sensation of the Alabama men. He started both the forward passes which made the touch- downs possible, though he did not score himself.

SPORTS

Lexington November -(Special) The Kentucky Wild Cats one-time champons of Kentucky for long time contendefs for southern honors, this afternoon topped off their most disastrous season in a decade by losing to the University of Alabama. 2 to O. This was long known to be Kentucky's hardest game but even the most pessimisuc kentuck- ian could not believe that his beloved team would be unable to score at least one little measly point
 It was likewise the fifth game this sea- son in which Kentucky has failed to score. Kentucky has lost many men to the war service, as has Alabama, and several of her best big line men are in bed with measles but a blank was not looked for.
 Most of the scoring was done in the first quarter and the early part ot the second quarter. Alabama simply marched over the kentuckians as if the latter were a part of the famed blue grass or their native state. Alabama gained at will, but every once in awhile the Ken tuckians would stiffen and do their level best for a time, only to be pressed back.
  in Alabama's s territory for most of the latter half of the periods, but to no great avail. About the middle of the third quarter Kentucky made her most threat l. ening move toward the Alabama goal Kentucky recovered an Alabama tumble on a pass back and on short bucks car red the ball to the Alabama 3O-yard llne.
 Dishman attempted a short forward pass. It was intercepted by Spangler, I substitute for Emmett, and he, breaking away from the Wildcats, was off With the whole Kentucky field after him. But it was no use. Only Heber could stay anywhere near the fleet Alabamian.
 Down the field they went, the Wildcat and the Red Liner, with the former wine ing with pain as his bad ankle hurt him. Within a few yards of the Kentucky goal, Heber sprang for the Alabamian with a flying tackle, but was not quite close enough ostop him, although he

Philadelphia, November 17.-Pennsyl- vania gave Michigan big surprise today and defeated the Western football eleven Is to 0. It was hard, bitterly fought game, in which good and bad football was mixed by both sides. The defeat was Michigan's first this year.
 Fullback Howard Berry, the college pen tathlon champion, was easily the hero of the game. He scored 10 of Pennsyl- vanias points, outpunted Michigan $ kicker and was in the trick of nearly all plays He made three field goals in five tries and also kicked a goal from touch down. He was also marvel in running with the ball.
 Pennsylvania-s goal at no time was seriously in danger In the first two periods the teams were almost evenly matched, what advantage there was being with Pennsylvania, who showed better offensive.
 During the second period Halfback Straus of Pennsylvania, and Quarterback Weston of Michigan got into fight and both were banished from the game.
 Genebach succeeded Weston and in the third period he fumbled one of Berry punts and Pennsylvania got the ball on Michigan's 10-yard line. The Quakers failed to gain and Berry kicked field goal from the 30-yard line Before the

Tn a game that was featured by the brilliant work of the backfield, Central High school easily defeated Blount County High Saturday afternoon at Rickwood by the score of 62 to O.. Blount was no match for the fast cen tral team, and it was only matter of the score after the teams once com pared.
 Central started vicious attack on Blount from the start which they were never able to solve Watkins, by some clever side stepping, went over for the first touchdown about two minutes after the game started. Jaffe kicked an easy goal. Centrars second and last touchdown in the first period was made by a long run by Montgomery Jaffe again kicked an easy goal. Score at the end of the first period, Central, IA; Blount, 0.
 Central renewed their wonderful at- tack in the second period, which re- suited in two more touchdowns. Long runs by Watkins and Montgomery brought the ball to Blount's five yard line, where Jaffe carried it over for the first touchdown of the quarter. Jaffe kicked goal.
 Blount made the only first down they made in this quarter, when aided by Q five yard penalty, Wadsworth bucked 1t over for the necessary 10 yards. The ball remained in Centrals hands for the rest of the quarter, but they were unable to put across another touch down, much to the crowds joy, whc were pleading for Blount to stiffer and play some real football. The hall ended with the ball in CentraPs hands on Blounts 15-yard line. The whistle probably saved another touchdown Blount offered feeble resistance and { weary attack in this half and the frs half ended with the score 2S to 1T 1 Centrafs favor.
