upon the playing of the southern

600 seats in the stadium has been
sold for the game.
The Danville collegians appear
for the second time in two years In
Cambridge with a straight record Of
Victories for the season. In their
four games 10 date they have not

possible exception OF Center Whit

Harvard will offer what is con-
sidered 10 be a rather weak team,
due to the injury of several stars
in the Penn State game n week ago
and the need of guarding others for
the crucial struggle with Princeton
a week hence. Under the cbrcUm
stances it would not be surprising
should the Kentuckians win. provid-
ed the statement that they are
stronger than year ago is based
upon something more substantial
than enthusiasm.
