3. VP The University of Kentucky Wildcats played ragged ball in their opening game with the Maryville Highlanders, of Tennessee, here today but had enongh power to win, 19 to 0. Frequent fumbles and a glaring weakness on forward pass defense kept Kentucky in hot water continually and had it not been for Kllis Johnson's brilliant thrusts through the line the score would have been much closer. Johnson hit tackle and cut back over center to race 2( yards to a touchdown for Kentucky's initial score in the first period, and it was his line plunging that put the hall in position for "Shipwreck" Kelly to skirt Maryville's end on the 1-yard line for the Wildcats' second counter. Kelly turned loose in the final minutes of the last period to reel off runs of 38 and 15 yards in succession to put Kentucky in position for Ur-baniak to circle left end seven yards for the Wildcats' final score.

Maryville was outweighed about 20 pounds to the man, yet excellent defensive work by Overly, Tolliver and Carter in, the line enabled the Ten-ncsseeans to hold for downs on one occasion while their backs were against their own goal line. LINEUP. MARTVUXE (0). Pel. KEKTTJCKT (19).

in the backfield, the Tigers strove desper-atclv to hold the smashing Tennessee 'backs in Their attempts to advance through the Vols' line were futile, and only in the last few minutes of the game did they gain a first down.

DURHAM, N. Oct. 3. The Duke University Blue Devils defeated Virginia Military Institute, 13 to 0, here today to celebrate homecoming day and to present Wallace Wade his first victory as their coach. Duke pushed over touchdowns in the first and third periods, with Kid Brewer, captain, carrying the ball on both occasions.

Mullen added the extra point after the second score with a neat place kick. The Virginia Cadets offered unimpressive opposition to Wade's charges, who likewise failed to display any sustained offensive power. Numerous penalties, including one for 25 yards and three for 15 yards each, added to the troubles of the Duke players. A poor punt by Lavinder paved the way for the first touchdown. Duke recovered the ball on the Cadets' 20-yard stripe.

Brownlee, on a double reverse, made 19 yards around his own left end and on the next line up Brewer smashed center for the score. He attempted the extra point but his kick was blocked. Another poor punt opened the path for Duke's third-period touchdown. Getting the ball, on the Cadets' 42-yard line, Mason passed to Brownlee for seven yards and Brewer hit the line for nine. Mason got six at guard, Brewer crashed center for eight, and Brownlee hit left tackle for 11.

With the ball one yard from the goal, Brewer carried it over in two tries. THE UHTTTP. M. I. (8) Pos.

North Carolina State College under a 34-0 score' in the opening Southern conference game for both teams. v.y The Floridans were held to one touchdown in the first half.

State battling on even terms the first However, led by Hughes, gigantic substitute fullback, and scintillating punter and passer, the 'Gators rang up three touchdowns in the third period and a fifth in the last quarter. Florida's touchdowns, with one exception, were scored on sensational plays in which the runs varied from 39 to -75 yards. The 'Gators only rolled up eight first downs, compared to five for the North State Techmen, and four of their touchdowns were made without a first down being listed in the drive. Rogero, shifty and agile, kept the State players guessing whenever he had the ball. Hughes, Sam Davis, Silsby and Buck, the first two being substitutes, were able running mates for Rogero in the 'hackficld.

Buck scored the first Florida touchdown, circling wide around his own right wing to shake off a dozen would-be tacklers and run '-75 yards for a talley. State's backfield functioned little regularity and practically the only offensive shown in the last half a futile attempt to score by, forward passes which Florida men repeatedly intercepted. Florida's three touchdowns in the third quarter eame on a 39-yard dash over tackle by Hughes, a pass from Rogero to Hall for a total gain of 41 yards, and a 60-yard run through the line by Fountain, a substitute for Emmelhainz. The last Florida tally was made by Fountain, who went through the State line 10 yards to climax a march which started at State's 40-yard marker. The lineups: FLORIDA (34).

(JP Notre Dame's warriors, in blue and gold costur.ie as glittering as the warm sun of an Indian summer day, returned triumphantly to the football war today with a drive that would have brought words of praise from the wizard Rockne. Picking up their two-year thread of victory where it was left off, the fighting Irish came through the final half in spectacular style to whip the strong Indiana University eleven. 25 to 0. It was the first game for Notre Dame since Rockne was killed in an airplane disaster. On an afternoon in Indiana's picturesque southern hills, it was hot enough for most of the crowd of 18,000 spectators to swelter in shirt sleeves, the 1931 Notre Dame machine was turned loose with a show- of skill, dash and scoring power comparable to the best of the Rockne regime.

If the electric personality of Rockne was missing, the wizard's spirit nevertheless carried on. The players, many of them his own products, rallied 'after an uncertain start to" uphold the best offensive traditions of the'Notre Dame "system." Mrs. Rockne, the famous coach's widow, was there to see ''her boys" score their i first triumph, under the new leadership, of the Harper-Ander-son-Chevignv regime at South Bend. SHEEKETSKI. Three full teams of these blue-jer-sied warriors in golden-hued silk pants trotted into action against the state university, each of the three arrays succeeding in scoring at least one touchdown.

The. first-string team opened the way- for two tallies, the first on a spectacular 70-yard dash by Joe Sheeketski, of Bellaire, Ohio, and the second on an 11-yard gallop by Marchmont Schwartz.t all-America halfback and pride of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Indiana, with a "big powerful line and two sets of fast backs, held the Ramblers scoreless in the first period and yielded only one touchdown, Sheeketski's brilliant run, in the first half. For -the time, it was troublesome going for the national champions.

Their blocking was not up to par and their generalship seemed faulty. They took command of the game, however, upon the entrance of a youthful quarterback named Em-mett Murphy, of East Vicago. Ind in the second quarter, and steadily applied the scoring pressure for the rest of the game. The second team, featuring a back-field of Koken, Brancheau, Melin-kovich and Jaskwhich, twice pounded deep into Indiana territory in the third period before Tommy Gorman, burly center, grabbed an opposing forward pass and dashed S3 yards for a touchdown. TWO MORE DRIVES.

With a two-touchdown lead and the game safely stowed away, Senior Coach Anderson sent his regulars back for another workout. They responded this time with a 68-yard drive, climaxed by Schwartz's touch-clown. As a final gesture, the third-stringers romped into action and swept 85 yards for the final touchdown. They actually covered 100 vards, for it was after a 15-yard penalty that Carl Cronin. halfback, of Chicago, broke off tackle and raced 35 yards to score.
