KENTUCKY STATE PUTS UP GREAT Commodores Make Two Touchdowns and Pair of Field Goals. -FINAL SCORE 18 TOO Zack Curlin's Two Boots Over Bar Feature of the Afternoon's Performance. BY SPICK HALL. Contrary to expectations and fulfilling the hopes and belief of Coach Prentis Douglas, the Kentucky State football eleven put up a powerful fight against Vanderbllt yesterday afternoon hero on Dudley field, losing finally by tho score of 18 to 0.

While the game can in no wise bo construed a'j a moral victory for the Kentucky the quality of ball which they put up, particularly on the defense, and the ul timate count will leave a lasting Iiii-Tiresslon hero as to the worth of the State players and their able coach, Prentis Douglas, formerly of the of Michigan. When the game besan there were but a few hundred badly scattered spectators present. The. wind was blowing stiffly from the south, and the wet grounds, coupled with the breozo to make all class of playing uncertain, to say tho least. Of the points made by the Commo--dores, only 12 were gotten through touchdown medium.

Znclt Curlin, i'tho Michigan hero who lifted a drop over tho Wolverine bar on Saturday two' weeks ago, again loomed into view yestorday, bo6tlng one from a point directly In front of tho goal and the other from an extremc-ly acute angle. That still leaves Zack with a per cent ot 1,000, for he has tried three In varsity games and has made three. Chall, of Mississippi, may have more than Zack. but he can't boast of a better average Vanderbllt, as ihuij, made a long run for a touchdown that was disallowed.

KENTUCKY'S DEFENSE. On the defense the Kentncky boys wero right there all through the contest. The fact that they were able to hold Vanderbllt to a 6 to. 0 score in the first half no doubt gave them unwonted ginger, which they used freely In the last two periods of tho fray, to 'say nothing ot their strong stone wall powers In the first two. It generally happens with the teams that play Vanderbllt that although they may play well for a couple of quarters, they go to pieces in the last atntros Hut not so Kentucky.

After a fifteen-minutes rest tho two teams began the third period. Neither squad showed to decided" advantage during the skirmishing, and the end of the third quarter found the score unchanged Tech 12, Sewanee 0. Tech showed increased strength in the final quarter, and adopted an open style of play In which the forward pass was Introduced at intervals.

With the ball on Sewanee' thirty-five-yard line, Patterson tried and missed a field goal, but Means, of Teoh, recovered the ball on Sewanee's eight-yard line. Cook carried the ball over for a touchdown, and Patterson failed at tho goal. The gamo was concluded a few seconds after Cook received Gillem's punt on the forty-five-yard line, and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. Patterson kicked goal. Final score: Tech 23, Sewanee 0.

riaon and Robins did good work In returning kicks. They would have been able to get away with a lot of long runs If the ground had not been 'so juicy. Still, their returns reaped a harvest of many yards' dimension. SUBSTITUTES USED. Kentucky used only one substitute during tho game.

Turtle replaced Meadows and Vanderbllt used five substitutes, and two of tho regulars were not played at all, both Hardago and Freeland being on the bunged-up list. When the game ended Vanderbllt had only five regulars In tho game. Collins was tho only man in the back field at the close who plays regularly -t, U- uuui. jjiujfcu all uiu vtaj. As aforesaid, Curlin did some noble work in making his two superb drop kick.

But that wasn't all. Zack played a cracking good gamo at halfback while he was in tho game, making neat gains time and again, and on the defense 'he showed up 'strongly. Furthermore, Zack recovered a fumble atone of tho critical junctures of the game, that recovery being primarily responsible for Vanderbllt getting close enough to tho goal for him to try a drop. Kooins Began tno game at half back and played all the way, going to quarter when Ray Morrison retired. Robins played Just as every one thought he would a fast, aggressive game.

He ran wel with the ball, and when ho went In at quarter he showed some of tho Morrison ability in handling tho team. THE SCORES. Shortly after the first period Van derbllt made her first touohdown and it looked like another runaway affair, which ultimately it nroved not to bs. Vanderbllt won the toss and ohose to defend the south goal with the wind bellowing at their backB, Guyn kicked off 46 yards to Ray Morrison, who re turned 20. Ray then rah uround left end for 1-1 yards, Robins got 5 off tacKie, Slkes made 2 in the line and Ray Morrison nuntueud 45 yards to Guyn, who was thrown heavily in bis tracks.

Watklns made 3 through Vanderbilt's line, this being followed by a punt by. Guyn, who kicked 35 to Ray the Com modore returning 5. Collins tried tho lino and failed, and Tom Brown received a gash above the left eye whioh put him out for a minute or two. A forward pa3B to Collins netted 18 yards, then he made 2 more yards, by clearing tackle. Meadows was in jured and replaced by Tuttle, who played left end-the remainder of tho game.

It was simply a case of being outclassed and being beaten for that reason alone. Many times, even before Ray Morrison retired from the gamo, Vanderbllt was either hold for downs or compelled to punt on the thoy lose the ball on the spot. Capt.

Earle of Kentucky, and Harrison, tho star linesmen of the visiting team, did excellent work. Thoy repeatedly broke up plays which up to this time had been used with telling effect on every the Commodores have met. Meadows, left end for Kentucky, played a beautiful game on the wing. He tackled Ray Morrison cleaner than any 'one hn'a done this year on consecutive plays, and that includes the Michigan game. He was not only deadly In his open field tackling, but he sifted through the Interference splendidly, often bringing down his man when completely surrounded by Vanderbllt men.

Kentucky's offense was not able to accomplish anything worth speaking of the McGuginite'3. When-over thoy tried a play around Vnnder-bllt's rleht side it was tore to smith ereens by Nuck Brown, who, by the way, played one of tho prettiest -all-round games of the year. Rhodes and Galser, tho visitors' halfback, were fairly good ground gainers, but thoy wero not able to get past the lino of scrimmage, which gavo them little chance to show what they could do. Vanderbllt always had somebody In on tho runner, and he wa'3 literally crowded to death before 'he could get under way. The best gain of the afternoon made by Kentucky was pulled off by Guyn.

the quarterback, who made a 35-yard of a 40-yard punt. Ho showed fine speed and would have mado many more yards but for Collins' protty diving tackle, which sent the runner's feet hurling over'hls head, and hq landed five yardn in advance of the spot whore tackled In a heap. THE PUNTING. Considering tho slippery condition of the grounds, the punting by hoth teamB was one of the features. Ray Morrison's work was superb.

The only criticism that can be made of Ray'3 punting is that he booted them too long that Is, they went over tho lino and Kentucky brought tho ball out to tho 25-yard lino to put it In play, whereas if ho had not kloked so far the chances are that the back-fleld man. would have been downed In the vicinity of the 10-yard line. One 'of Ray's kicks went 65 yards aoros's the. lino and several others went 60. Guyn did the kicking for Kentucky.

His Hckc were on the average good. The' difference was not so much in the kicking as in the returning, a no-tlcable fact in alt of Vanderbllt's" games.

After five plays had been run off after the second kick-oft. Collins made a superb run- around his own right end 46 yards to a touch down, but holding caused Vanderbllt to lose all save honor on the play. In tho second quarter there wa'3 more see-sawing and a good deal of penalizing. The quarter and half ended with tho ball in Vanderbilt's possession on Kentucky's 26-yard lino. The third quarter began as the first.

with Vanderbllt receiving the kick at the south end of the field. Again Ray Morrison received the ball, taking it back 27 yards before ho was downed. Vanderbllt began with a rush, appar ently trying to drive Kentucky oft her feet, but the feat was never ac complished, although that opening rush did finally result in a touchdown. After Ray had mado 27 yards from tho kick-off, Slkes went 2, Ray went. 14 around tno rignt, wing, Slkos got 3,.

Collins shot over tackle for a clean 5, Slkes added 5 more, Collins 2 and Robins failed to gain. Ray Morrison punted 50 yards across the goal line and Kentucky put the ball In play at the 25-yard line by a scrimmage. itodes took the ball on tho first play, but Nuck Brown 'shot through the interference and downed him four yards back ot tho lino in the prettiest tackle of tho day. Guyn then punted 35 yards to Ray Morrison, who returned 6 and the march began with the ball oh Kentucky's 48-yard line. Ray Morrison made 5 around end.

Slkes -got 3 in the line, Ray got 5 more on a plunge to tho left of Buddy Morgan, Collins ripped off an even ten-spot. Slkes got 3 more, Robins went 5 over tackle, Ray got 8 more tnrougn tne ime, sines added a pair, then Ray Morrison took the ball the remaining Beven yards for a touchdown around his own left end. Ho kicked tho goal. Nothing else happened in that quarter except that Collin's tried a drop from the 45-yard line which went low. Just after the fourth quarter began Curlin went to halfback-, Robins to quarter and Ray Morrison retired.

At that particular moment it was Vanderbilt's ball and third down, with the ball on Kentucky's 8-yard line. Curlin drew back about ten yards, then coolly shot the ball over the bar for three points. After tho kick-off some pretty runs by Turner, who replaced Sikes at full, back, and by Collins, with a recovered punt by, Nuck Brown, landed the ball on Kentucky's 10-yard line. It was third down and the ball was almost at the 'side lines, but Zack Curlin tried another drop from that angle and the leather' Balled squarely between the posts, making Vanderbllt' And to Think lat three points of the game.

Collins, of Vanderbllt, played one of the best all-round games on tho field yesterday. He was used all through tho matinee at halfback. On the defense he shone, and his line plunging was by far tho best he has done this season. Collins can perform any duty on the team, from kicking to urging Blind Tom on to more heroic deeds.
