GENERALS WORK
FOR KENTUCKY
w. And L. And Wildcats
To Settle Tie Of Last
Season

LEXINGTON, va, Oct. 12.-Next
Saturday in Lexington, KY, the Wash
ington and Lee Generals meet the Ken
lucky Wildcats. Last year the two
teams locked horns for the first time
in hectic SO tie, and this season both
elevens viii fight hard to tip the BAH
ance.
In that memorable struggle last De-
tober, the Generals scored in the first
quarter as result Of brilliant play
by Frew, stellar quarterback, who
caught two passes for a total gain Of
30 yards and then plunged over for the
first touchdown Of the game. The
oval seesawed back and forth through
out the second and third periods with
no decided advantage for either side.
In the final period, however, Kentucky
launched a desperate drive, climaxed by
Kirwan's brilliant work, which resulted
in touchdown in the closing minutes
of play. 1t was a thrilling game,
played hard and clearly by both sides.
Wildcats Go Good
The Wildcats have begun this year
most auspiciousiy, easily subduing
Louisville % to o in their opening bat
tile, and showing excellent results Of
Coach Murphy's new coaching system.
A swift moving attack, flashy inter
ference, beautiful serial game, and
an effective defense were evident in
the victory and show that the Kentuck.
ians are already playing midseason foot
ball. Saturdays game should prove
most interesting II for no other reason
than to offer opponents who have
reach November form in early October,
for the Generals, too, have been put
ting up nice game during the early
season encounter. This was especially
noticeable in the Maryland game when
the Blue and White clearly outplayed
the Old Liners in, every department Of
the game and romped away with com
paratiyely easy 1877 victory.
Both Kentucky and Washington and
Lee are prominent members OF the
southern conference and the score Sat
urday should prove a firm basis for
comparison when the conference cham
pionship team is recognized. The Wild
cats meet five conference opponents
during the season while the Generals
clash with six, more than any other
conference team faces.
Kentucky's Games
In addition to w. and L., Kentucky
RrappIes with Sewanee, Alabama, "
M. L., and Tennessee, besides the nom
conference Center eleven. Washington
and Lee has already beaten Maryland,
and after Kentucky, will meet Virginia
and V. p. L., on successive Saturdays
after the Lexington clash, North Caro-
lima State and Florida together with
the West Virginia team, which is not
in the conference.
Coach DE Hart has been singularly
| fortunate in tine matter If injuries, for
despite the sru.lling training season
plentifully interpreted with scrim-
IMAGES, the Generals have escaped with
only q few minor injuries and little
substantial damage. With the Wake
Forest game now off their minds, the
Big Blue team will have no Opportu-
nifty to rest, but viii at once plunge into
active preparation for the coming strug-
gle.
The Wildcats game marks the first
of series of six encounters on fOreI-n
gridirens for the Generals. Washing
ton and Lee appears here IL LexirRs-
ton but one more time during the re-
nalnGer of tn seasOii, Citadel Of South
Carolina coming here on November y
between the Virginia. and West Vir-
ginia games. The local student body
will see the team in action, however.
since the V. =. /. game in Lynchburg
and the clash with the Cavaliers in
Charlottesville win be largely attended
by most Of the students the faculty
probably granting a holiday for both
games,
