But he was very nice in his rebuke and I quote: ---Just one thing the University of Kentucky's athletic teams are called Wildcats, not Yols. The Yols- are from the sity of Tennessee which is our arch rival." Thanks, and I promise to sit in the corner for two hours.

The Hurricanes will work again in shorts Thursday afternoon and then have a light drill slated for Friday morning before catching a plane for Colorado and Saturday's duel with the veteran University of Colorado squad.
