Morehead Teachers Beat Union College 12 to 0 Barbourville, Nov. 7.

(P) Morehead Teachers' college avenged itself for last year's defeat by Union college by getting a 12 to 0 victory on the gridiron here today. In the first period Quarterback Evans took the bi'i over on a series of line plays that netted three first downs In succession. Halfback Clayton scored in the second by intercepting a pass on the en-yaid line and running 90 yards for a touchdown. Neither team threatened in the third and fourth periods, thouKh Union lost several chances by fumbles. Morehead which averaged ISO pounds made fifteen downs to eight for Union whose olayers averaged 165 pounds.

Serving Since 1850 i s9s; Lexington, Ky, Nov. 7. JP One of the "breaks of the game" gave Duke university a 7 to 0 victory at Stoli field here today over the University of Kentucky Wildcats and shoved the Kentuckians farther down the Southern Conference standings. The Southerners triumph gave their coach, Wallace Wade, his ninth consecutive victory over the Wildcats, eight of which were won while he was coaching Alabama. Playing before 12,000 fans and for the benefit of charity, Kentucky played through the first two periods in great style and seemingly had the edge on the share of the proceeds will be donated to the unemployed.

In the third period, however, fortune favored the Blue Devils, when Johnson, Kentucky halfback, was tackled on his own 20-yard line while attempting to throw a pass. The oval slipped from his grasp and bounded Into the hands of Harton, Duke tackle, who darted down the fied for a touchdown. Captain Brewer added the extra point. Most of the third and fourth periods were played near the center of the field and in the fourth frame Kentucky carried the ball into Duke's territory, but Laney's 58-yard punt sent the Wildcats back against their own goal line and the game ended with Kentucky trying to get away for a score. In the opening quarter Kentucky drove down to Duke's 3-yard line after a 31-yard run by Kerchlval, but a 15-yard penalty set them back.

Duke was on the defensive throughout the period, a 65-yard punt near the end of the quarter getting the visitors out of a tight hole. In the second period the Wildcats got as far as Duke's one-yard line before being turned back. Kentucky made twelve first downs to Duke's three, and gained three times as many yards.

The Rotarians, it Is true, have team that shows a considerable balance. But most of the players on that team have more 'beef than speed and it is the pin- ion of at least one Rotarian that the shiftiness of the Jungle King Hggregation will be hard' to handle.

Tom Bart- left and Jean Mobberly. managers of the Rotary and Lions, respectively, decided at last to pick three teams each, declaring that it will take at least this many outfits on each side to finish the game. There won't be any fooling about this contest. It is going to be a real football game, and that's hat.

Why, Bartlett said his starting team has such good players on it that, providing they were in 'im- r'rate condition, they could beat the Present team of the University of kentucky.

GILLETTE, LEW 111 GOOD CONDITION FOR GRUDGE BGUT Fisticuffiing Club Presidents To Meet At Half; Also Tug Of War Contest To Be Staged. By CLEESOX MURPHY, JR. While the football men of the Lions and Rotary club are taking what is expected to be a much needed rest between the halves of the charity tilt "Armistice Day, two contests have been arranged to fill in the blank space for the customers.

A boxing match between Sam Levy and "Safety" Gillette, presidents of the Rotary and Lions, respectively, will hold the spotlight with a terrible tug of war between the entire membership of the two organizations. The Levy-Gillette go is expected to be one of the most exciting bouts in the history of ring sport in and near Owensboro, since it is a grudge meeting with plenty of hard feelings on both sides, growing out of statements made by each of the club presidents in regard to the status quo of the Lions and Rotary football teams. Boxers Make Statement Levy, when asked for a statement last night, said: "I will cool Gillette in two rounds. The knockout blow will come just before the gong sounds for the end of the second period. I do not mind giving my plan of attack.

Because I am so much taller than my opponent, I intend to hit him on top of the head for the finishing count." Levy, it is reported, is taking daily bending-over exercises in the Rotary camp in order to get in condition for the lean-over blow which he proposes to administer. Gillette said: "Three days before the bout I am in fine condition, the best I've ever been in, before a scrap. I am too fast for Levy, and he knows it. I'll run circles around him for the first few minutes. Then I'll step on his toe, sock once in the stomach and hit him squarely between the eyes for the star-producing punch.

That's my plan of attack." Safety is riding a bicycle to and from work to keep his legs in circle-running trim. He'd rather run sitting down than standing up, he says. His arms are solid and his punch is good. He looks like a fighter and talks like one. Handlers Confident Joe Weill will be in the corner with Gillette as his second.

Bruce Hager will second for Levy, Jim McKInney will keep time for Lions and Dr. Marvin Coffman for the Rotarians. The Handlers have this to say Weill "Safety will be like dyna mite to Levy. Hager "Levy is one of the most cyclonic leather-pushers I've ever handled. Gillette is already counted out." The tug-of-war proposition is really a proposition.

Although out numbered and outweighted by the Hons club, the Rotarians declare that they have evolved "revolution ary tactics in the matter of rope pulnng the Idea being suggest ed by the name of the club and that they will easily win the con test. The one difficulty that has pre sented Itself to the Tug-of-War committee Is to get a rope strong enough to stand the strain that will be put on it. There are three and one half tons of Rotarians and four and one half tons of Lions making a total of eight tons of war-tuggers. May Get Rope Yet A telegram from New York came yesterday, however, stating that a rope, used to hoist the Brooklyn bridge, may possibly be at the dis posal of the clubs. In the matter of cheering team support both organizations claim they will excell the other.

After lis tening In at both the Lions and the Rotary weekly meetings the impartial observer is unable to de cide which Is the louder vocally, but must hear them together to de cide. The High school cheer leaders have offered their services for the afternoon and will lead the two clubs, sitting in different sections of the stadium. In cheers. Elly Bar ron and Aileen Smith will lead the Rotarians; Susie Fay Jagoe and "Peanuts" Ralston will conduct the Lion vociferations. Tri-State Bowling Tourney To Be Held In Owensboro Manager Arch Bamberger, of the Recreational Bowling alley in the Hotel Owensboro, announced Saturday that a number of teams have been signed in two leagues to be formed in both "five back" and "ten pins" and that several more teams are expected to come into the leaeue during the week in or der that a definite schedule can be made up.

There will also be a bowling league formed for the women bowlers and anyone desiring' to place a team in either loop should notify Manager Bamberger. A tri-state tournament at ten pins is planned for the Recrea tional Bowling Alley, Manager Bamberger stated in which teams from Evansville. Madisonville, Ow ensboro al other towns -in this section will compete. i THIS COLUMN WAS all toiled UP and still is about the University of Kentucky's repudiation of the proposed Centre-State charity contest, deeming its official callousness on the nart of that nnhb institution's football authorities to declare without blushing, too, that partial proceeds from the Duke game would be quite enough for those persons who can't get jobs. THE CHEAP SONGS and dance act of Kentucky's pedegogues and pupils is a bad enough exhibition of economic apathy and egotistic indifference.

But Harvard takes the prize for snootiness in the face of distress and famine. PRES. LAWRENCE lets it be known that Harvard is not one to take part in Owen D. Young's football charity program, asserting that his university is under no financial obligations to society, to the state or to the unemployed. WHAT HE DOES say, U.ough, is that he has no objections.if beggars ply their trade during tl.e football meetings, with tin cup as decoys, after the fans have paid their fares into the coffers of the Harvard University Athletic association.

IN SHORT, AS one sports writer puts it, "President Lowell seems to hold that if the customers want to toss coins in the tin cups, they should be permitted to do so. But in the meantime Harvard and Lowell will speak only to w-311-ted, well-dressed gods." Which is stating the case very aptly. IN ADDITION TO the Harvard president's proclamation, student disdain of charity meetings is voiced, which is all that's needed to clinch that university's traditional reputation for AND THAT ISN'T 'so ir grapes" either. Princeton's going in for a post-season game with Pennsylvania, with entire proceeds to charity. SOMEONE HAS been telling stories.

Rick declares he has enough work-outs coaching his football teams in the daytime and that it wasn't he running out the roads in the evening.

The Lions club outfit has a fresher memory of the gridiron situation, since its members have more recently played on football teams, while the Rotarians boast more stars than do the Jungle Kings. Some Stars Looking over the Lions outfit, here are some of the more spectacular names. There is Steinberger, fullback, who played with Oklahoma for three years. Bitzer played two years at Nebraska, and will fill halfback assignments for the Lions.

Zubect, playing fullback, too, is expected to do a lot of scintillating work. He's in prime condition, having played with Independent teams in the East for the last five years. Bowman, Chambers and Settles were members of the 1930 all-beating nigh school outfit here. Mobberly played sensational football at Purdue. Young, Stevens, Cook and Wagner, of the Owensboro Gas company, all ex-college men, will be in the Lions lineup.
