K en ntucky-Centre To Renew Annual Battle Saturday

LEXINGTON. Ky, Nov. 2.-(Spe- ciaL )-Saturday afternoo- when the University of Kentucky and Centre field at Danville, Ky, the play of both teams will be watched with in terest by friends of the two instiutu- tions. For nearly 25 years the teams of the neighboring schools have met to decide the grid supremacy between college football teams in Kentucky This year interest in the outcome of the contest is at a fever heat, both the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky and the Praying Colonels have teams that are more nearly equal in strength than at any time since the rise of the Centre college teams to national prominence.
 While the Colonels will be greatly outweighed in the line by the Wild cat crew the Colonels will outweigh their opponents in the backfield and will have one of the fastest and best brokenfield runners in the south to depend upon for gains against the Cat aggregation. That man Is Gov dngton. Though his work against the University of Pennsylvania al Philadelphia last Saturday was far from immpressive and the Danville star made several bad breaks his work has improved during the last week under the watchful eye of his mentor, Uncle Charlie Moran, and he will come in for great deal of at tention from the Kentucky defensive men who respect him greatly.
 Within the week fhA CAntre college coaching staff has had an ad- dition in the person of Red" Weaver, who Is a former Centre star and picked by Walter Camp on his All American team as center at the same time that Bo McMillin was first picked. Since that time Red has been coaching and when his alma mater sent for him he responded and is now assisting Moran having charge of the linemen.
 Changes To Be Made.
 Following the University of Pennsylvania game Moran announced that he would make some changes in the lineup before the all important game with the University of Ken lucky. One of them is to hift Thomasson from fullback to the end formerly occupied by Gordy. Gordy in turn was sent to the backfield to take the place of Thomasson. There is also possibility of one other change in the lineup, that Is the in jecting of Summers into the back field in the place of Hodgins. Sum mers has been going well of late in the practice sessions and may be able to hold down the position to the sat- isfaction of Moran and his assistants.
 In the camp of the Wildcats the utmost secrecy has prevailed all dur ing the week, and since the Cats mentor, Jack Vim, has used his men at different position in nearly every game so far this season little or nothing is known of the plans of the university men with the exception of whether or not the play in the back field or in the lnie. Since W. H field or in' tho line. Since W. H. of extraordinary merit oven that fact is uncertain.
 In all of the games played hereto fore the Cats have come out on the long end of the score except in the case of the game with the Generals of Washington and Lee whom they up lineup was used and it by no means gives a fair example of the Wildcats ability.
 In no game this year have the Cats been forced to extend them selves, consequently scouts from the OHsA0 So4tcso eS T cSdliou ana rom other elevens in the south who have viewed the previous games played know little or nothing of the Cats plan of attack.
 More than 15,00o tickets have been sold to the encounter and prepara- tions are being made to care for the largest crowd in the history of Ken lucky football. In all considerably more than the 15,Oo0 people to whom pastboards have been sold are ex- pected to be in attendance and temporary seats have been erected to care for the overflow from the stadium.
 This game marks the official opening of Centre colleges new stadium.
 The Wildcats have a number of slogans this year among them: even
