GROUND GAINER FOR HIS SIDE Three of Local Players In Last Contest For the Institution (By Staff Correspondent) LOUISVILLE Ky Nov Send lag their Crimson juggernaut twice over the exhaueted Louisville eleven In the closing six minutes of play the Transylvania football eleven piled up a formidable score and brought 'the final count In the last game of the season to 24 to 0 in their favor in the contest at Eclipse Park today The game lacked many of the spectacular thrills that gridiron enthu-alsasta have come to look for In their sport but It had many distinctive features that stood out prominently from the -smooth regular manipulations ot the two machines matched here today at Eclipse Park before a crowd of 2000 persona witnessing first Thanksgiving Day college foot ball game Transylvania hopes attained high-it fruition in the victory and much vindication of their claims for lndlvl dual and collective prowess waa glean from the result Out of the work of the team os a whole stood first that of Hunter at fullback then that of Arnett Yarbrough Neal Captain Lyklns playing hit last game for the (kfanson aod then each of the Transylvania men separately and eoitact-toely Not a man failed and hardly a regret was carried back to Lexington tonight when the Joyful squad and their coterie of rooter pulled out from the Southern station for home Louisville Spirit High An Indomitable spirit was the most valuable possession of the Louisville eleven today who lacked the Individual stars that lent lustre to the glory of the Transylvania victory They were never beaten they were overcome But that after all decides the contest and the vanquished finally can claim no port of the victory Superior teamwork greater endurance more finesse In training and pehrmps even better coaching are written tonight into the story which tells She result of the contest It waa a veritable battle of red Juggernauts which bumped and Jarred and rammed and smashed each other until the Crimson proved superior to the Cardinal and drove It in succession four times down the field for clearly and honestly earned touchdowns In the end the Crimson machine showed superior construction wiser assemblage and proved of better Individual parts while they worked in perfect harmony against the weakened and shattered Cardinal defense which waa practically helpless to prevent the dash and rigor with which Transylvania persecuted her attack In the closing quarter Game Stubborn at First Prior to that It had been a stubborn struggle Transylvania contest to wear down her opponent though playing aggressive ball at all times Twice Louisville threatened and once the aide-lines believed abe bad scored but that time Terry who had received a punt and had dodged out of bounds to escape the attack of Dick Arnett waa called back by the referee and tbe touchdown waa not counted In the third quarter after a rest between halves and In the second they took the offensive for a while and played the Crimsons in their own territory By their own admission the Louisville team which hod submitted meekly to a scoreless tie earlier in the season from Central and to other Indignities were perhaps a fourth stronger yesterday than they had been at any previous time in the season Ford a game quarterback and a dangerous enemy showed a world of pluck by entering the game when he should have been In

Crowd 4 Three brothers "Boots" Pete and have written their namea In large letters across the football history of State University but the greatest of these Is "Doc" On Stoll Held yesterday afternoon -he booted two field goals each from the 42 yard line which brought Kentucky State a deserved victory over the eleven from the University of1 Tennessee The final score was 4 to 0 but not one of the 6000 frenxled football ena who witnessed the game cared ought for the' final score and were ready and will to pay homage to the game and hard fighting field general of the Wildcats and hla teammates It was a glorious victory for the blue end white Four times the Cats had fplled to score from within the ten yard line twice because of fumbles and twice when attempted forward passes resulted In touch-becks Many who bed seen the Volunteers brace and fight like fiends when their goal line was threatened settled back In their seats prepend for a scoreless tie But they had not reckoned with the toe 'of "Doc" Rpdes for the three brothers who will live long In blue end white football his- tory are "Boots" Pete aod "Doe" Rodeo Once In the third period with tbs wind pertly at hla bock but blowing diagonally serosa tbe Arid at such an angle es to make tbe kick a difficult one Rodes made hla first goal from the field with Captain Schrader spread out on the ground on the forty-three yard line holding the belL With this alight margin the Wildceta never faltered and In the fourth period with the Volunteers showing more life and power than at any previous time Rodes added three more points for hla team kicking this time with the wind against the bslL Each kick was a long powerful drive straight as an arrow and carried many yards over the goal Cheers Quickly Quieted- After each kick pandemonium broke over the stands that waved the blue end white which means both stands for the crowd waa a Kentucky crowd with but a few exceptions But the enthusiasm was soon checked after each score for while the Wildcats braced after each goal the Volunteers came back harder than before and the powerful line plunges of Ring and Luck a long run by May and a series of long and cleverly played forward passes caused fear and trembling to the blue and white cohorts But It was not his fancy toe work alone that kept Rodes In the spotlight With a wrenched shoulder that required careful guarding on every play 'the wiry and wily quarterback of the Wildcats led his team In every style of play He would smash Into tbe line worm hfs way through bis opponents when It seemed thst only a miracle could tave him from their grasp ground their forward passes that meant defeat maybe for Kentucky had they been completed He handled all the punts In the backfield without a slip and they were long twisting spirals which required a nerve of Iron with powerful ends charging down the field and by a bard desperate tackle downed "Bud" May In tbe center of the field after the veteran quarter of the yellow and white had wormed his way through the entire Wildcat team running from a fake kick formation from within the shadow of his own goaL Tennessee had staged a rally Just before long ran that threatened danger to the Wildcats but Rodes clever tackle restored confidence to his teammates who fought back more doggedly than before Had May been able to elude Rodes nothing could have prevented the Tennessee touchdown that would have tied the score and put the ball In the best possible position from which to kick the goal that would have given Tennessee the victory All Earned Victory But though the victory waa a great personal triumph for the slightly 19-year-old Fayette County boy credit for his spectacular work Is not any disparagement of the work of teammates and to them and to the followers of the blue and white banner tbe victory Is as sweet as it could be had the fourteen men chosen by Dr Tlgert to do battle divided evenly (Continued ea Fags Twelve) "DOC" RODES nun of Lina
