CARTER AUTO PARTS 507 Frederica Phone 17 Good Passing and Few Brilliant Dashes Enable Ken- tuckians To Count Three Touchdowns. By S. V. STILES Lexington, Oct. 25.

(Kentucky's Wildcats proved that a few really good passes and a few brilliant dashes are better than hard line drives in beating West Virginia's Mountaineers 18-6 here today. West Virginia's total yardage, both on line smashes and forward passes, was impressive, and added to that, Kentucky's eagerness and occasional roughness marked up ninety -five yards lost in penalties to only five for the visitors. But the Mountaineers lacked a passing combination that was good for long gains and lacked a dashing, slashing back who could find a hole and dodge through it after his linesmen had opened up. Kentucky, on the other hand, capitalized first on a forward pass, Mullen to Allen for eighteen yards, which was followed by Allen's dashing fifty-four more yards to score In the first period. Allen cut back twice to follow his interference in making the long run.

West Virginia, after being halted on the Kentucky eighteen in the first period, started another drive that paid off in the second with Martin and Elwee hitting hard through tackle and center. Martin smashed through from the one-yard line. Some brilliant end runs by Junior Jones and two passes from Allen to Jones combined to give Kentucky its score in the second period. One Allen-to-Joncs pass was good for thirteen yards, and the second for twenty-four yards and the touchdown. Eeeler's recovery of Martin's fumble on Kentucky's 23-yard line ended a Mountaineer threat in the third.

Mullin hit the line for a short gain and then, skirting left end, raced seventy-four yards along the sidelines to score standing. All attempts at conversion failed Portwood blocking the one try that the West Virginians had. The game, giving Kentucky revenge for the unexpected 9-7 loss of last year when they played in a sea of mud at Morgantown, was played in brilliant October sunshine and the first real football weather jthe Wildcats have enjoyed. A com paratively small crowd turned out, however It was estimated at 7,000 West Virginia threatened to score in the first period. Smashes by Martin, McCann and McElwee drove from the West Virginia thirty j.to the Kentucky eighteen.

Zinn stop--ped McCann there, McElwee 's fum-ible cost five yards and the ball over. Failing to gain, Allen kicked and the Mountaineers began another drive. A few passes were interspersed but the visitors usually fired them -barely over the line of scrimmage and the receiver was usually downed his tracks. That drive paid off in the second period, but after that the lack of a versatile backfield runner hampered the West Virginians. Schrader began a series of drives and though Herbert and Johnson nailed him on several, he hit the line for one yard and a first down on his own forty-five.

Wood's brilliant defense finally stopped him then and Eblen grabbed Martin's tumble on Kentucky's forty-two to end that threat. In the third, the Mountaineers started a drive, aided by a 14-yard pass, Martin to McElwee, but Hammond intercepted a pass on Kentucky's fifteen to end the threat. Pelish recovered a Kentucky fumble on Kentucky's twenty-seven.

Robinson directed the plays against the Owensboro Senior High school gridders at Madisonville, Friday night, when the Coach Ray Ellis' outfit defeated the Red Devils 14 to 0 and his generalship both on the offense and defense was largely responsible in the Maroons' victory over the Demons.

As if he had not been a large factor in the game, Robby, on next to the last play of the contest, went through center from the 50-yard line for Madisonville's second touchdown. Robinson also kicked both goals for the extra points after touchdowns. Along with Robinson's long run a couple of other features of the tilt was the Maroons' defense in holding Owensboro from crossing their goal line from the one-yard stripe, Dick Damron's carrying the mail for the Demons, and Co-Captain Clyde Hight's block of a Madisonville punt on the Maroons 11 yard line. Down the Pladium Bowling Alleys: Margaret Spaulding bowled a 377 total to win a free manicure. Andrea Barnes got off to a good start in her three-game set, bowling 186, but lost some of her effectiveness in the following games with scores of 146 and 136.

Ona Mercer averaged 146 in three games. Goldie Wittaker came through with a top game of 168. Miss Coomes toppled 444 pins in her three-game setto with a high tilt of 167 A match game is on card at the Pladium alleys for this afternoon when an All-Star aggregation will bowl an Evansville team. Western Kentucky High school football teams scheduled to see ac tion this Friday are as follows: Madisonville at Marion; Elkton at Mayfield; Lexington, at Ful ton; Dawson Springs at Russellville; Central City at Bowling Green Sturis at Providence; Hopkinsvllle at Henderson; Owensboro against St. Xavier, at Morgan field at Murray; Clay against Trigg County, at Cadiz.

The 21 to 0 victory of the Boon ville, football team over the Bowling Green Purples Friday night does not tell the true story of the game. Boonville had the breaks Bowling Green got to the five-yard line three times, and made eighteen first downs while Boonville was making seven. Boonville made two of its touchdowns on passes, one of them good for 24 yards and the other for 52 yafds, and the third marker was made on a sixty-yard return of an intercepted pass.

D. Finds No Evidence Supporting Contention "Undue Influence" Used In Bringing Gridders Here. Lexington, Oct. 25. (IP) Dick Damron and Ed Beard, Owensboro nign scnooi luuiuau pittywa, wcio ruled eligible to participate in Ken tucky High scnooi Atnieuc association games by the association board of control today.

Ralph Bridges, of Fort Thomas, board president, previously had ruled the boys eligible and today the board unanimously concurred in his ruling. The status of Damron and Beard came before the board, Bridges said, after notices were received saying that the two players had not lived in the district of the school for which they were playing and that "undue influence" had been brought to transfer them to that school. Bridges said that no supporting evidence for this contention could be found by the board. Bridges also announced, following the board meeting here, that "old style" backboards would be used in the K.H.S.A.A. basketball tournament, although the "new style" boards are increasing in favor in the state.

He explained that the association did not wish to impose necessity of buying new boards on all schools in Kentucky. Earlier the board voted to transfer the annual tournament to Louisville. Since 1919 it has been held on the campus of the University of Kentucky here. Reason given for the transfer was lack of facilities on the campus to accommodate crowds the tournament has been drawing in recent years. Board representatives said the university had been advised that the tournament would be brought back here as soon as the facilities were provided.

PHONE 113 DYERS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT ARS ill IB By HERB BARKER. New York, Oct. 25. (P Minnesota's mighty Gophers, the nation's top-ranking football team, whipped Michigan's valiant Wolverines today 7-0, and took another long stride along the undefeated, untied trail that leads to the mythical National championship. Meeting the Wolverines in a pivotal battle before 85,753 at Ann Arbor, Minnesota sent Halfback Herman Prickey over for a touchdown in the second period and then blocked every Michigan counter-attack to the finish.

This victory, the Gophers' thir teenth in succession, left Minnesota high on the national list along with such other powerful contendeds as Texas' Longhorns, Duke, Notre Dame, Penn, Texas A. and Army, Fordham, Temple and Van- derbilt. Ohio Slate Beaten Michigan, meanwhile, was forced to accept its first defeat of the sea son, joining a list that also included Ohio State, Georgia and Santa Clara, Navy, playing a scoreless tie with Harvard, also lost considerable ground although still unbeaten. Texas, rolling on to its fifth sue cessive triumph, once again showed awesome power in a 40-0 rout of Rice while the Longhorns' chief rivals for Southwest conference honors, the Texas Aggies, spilled Baylor by an even greater margin, 48-0. Halfback Steve Lach led Duke to an easy 27-7 conquest of Pitt but the Panthers got some consolation out of scoring for the first time this season.

Vanderbilt, lone unbeaten untied representative of the South eastern conference, took Princeton 46-7. Sluggish for three periods, Notre Dame finally got rolling and swamped Illinois 49-14 as Owen Evans scored three touchdowns and Steve Juzwik two. Fordham, after letting Texas Christian get a 14-14 tie early in the fourth quarter, ral lied for two touchdowns and a 28-14 victory. Army halted Columbia 13-0, while Penn scored almost at will against Maryland, 55-6.
