Fans By Ed Ashford Speedy backs and accurate passers operating behind a hard-charging forward wall combined to give the University of Kentucky Wildcats a surprisingly easy 71-to-7 victory over an outmazVned Mississippi Southern football team last night on Stoll Field More than 23000 fans looked on in Kentucky's enlarged McLean Stadium as the Wildcats scored with ridiculous ease over a team that had been touted as a possible up-setter The Southerners who gave Alabama and 'A urn fairly close games last year were over- whelmed com- Ashford pletely by Coach-Paul Bry ant's boys in blue despite the fact that two of Ki top linemen Tackle Bob Gain and End Benny Zaranka were sidelined with injuries Racking up four touchdowns in the first quarter- another In the second three in the third and three more in the fourth the Kentuckians put on a scoring show reminiscent of some of the top-heavy scores piled up by the Wildcat basketeers at Alumni gym in recent years At the conclusion of the game the fans were convinced that Bryant has this year Still they're not entirely sure what that -something is The Southerners offered little opposition to the Kentucky runners and passers and only on one occasion when they scored their lone touchdown late in the first period did the visitors from Hattiesburg show anything that even resembled an offense It took the Wildcats only two minutes and 10

Southern uncorked a shortlived passing attack which enabled a shutout -Vi'7- The Cat attack almost stalled completely in the second quarter but with a minute and 25 seconds left the Kentuckians

discouraged and disagreeable and lost 75 yards to the men in striped shirts Coach Bear Bryant used his sophomores more than he probably had expected to do and one in just because Kentucky couldn't

Bezuk coming in then Altogether Bryant put 16 sophs into the fray and unquestionably the one making the most electrifying debut was little Emery Clark The scamper-boy from Carlisle went into the fray just in time to go into double safety with Dopey Phelps when Southern was due to punt out from its 10 Clark grabbed the kick just past midfield crossed past Phelps for a fake exchange and ran all the way to score the first time he had hs hands on the ball in varsity competition Guard John Ignarski destined to help give Kentucky a lot of good line play for three seasons just wore down to nothing on

out of gas and were ground into humiliation Four touchdowns in the first quarter in actually less than 12 minutes ought to be the answer to that The Wildcats from the first play ripped and tore and pretty much went where they wanted to go They put a lot of variety Into the action and visiting scouts were kept plenty busy trying to detect and chart just what was transpiring much too early to get excited out of reason about this Kentucky squad but by any scale the Cats were impressive to put it mildly After the fracas finally dragged to a dose one visiting scribe who has looked at a lot of games in Dixie for a decade or so offered the comment: This is the best Kentucky team that has ever stepped on this field They're big and they have speed They'll do all right With the aid of the new rule regarding substitutions and with the further assistance of vigilant officials who saw or thought they saw all manner of holding dipping slugging and maybe even biting the game was possibly the longest ever played on Stoll Field It got under way at 8 o'clock and the final horn didn't come until 10:41 The first half lasted for an hour and 20 minutes The calling mi penalties started right on

STOLL FIELD PRESS-BOX Sept because these plush quarters (the new press-box folks) have been located just a few feet short of the Jessamine county line and probably too because of eyesight failing under the weight of many many years this observer maybe be too certain about a lot of things that happened while Kentucky was staging its track meet here tonight Methinks however that some rather scrumptious Kentucky line play was in evidence The backs looked beautiful sure what with all their swift ated shifty ankle work their bullseye passing etc but the biggest point total rolled up by a UK football team since since Louisville was crushed here was made possible forget by some rough and rugged forwards who looked like they wouldn't mind at all to mix with the linemen of such as Ole Miss and Georgia The huskies whe operated against Mississippi Southern in the first quarter of 71-7 rout were vicious aggressive characters on both offense and defense They smothered their counterparts in the lineup to open holes wherever desired and on defense held like the rocks that support Natural Bridge These linemen were up against some pretty big fellows but it didn't take long for them to wear down the opposition and make it easy for third and fourth-stringers to complete the devastation when they came into the fray fresh and eager A lot of fans whe had insisted on regarding the Southerners ms a pushover crowd were almost ready to revise opinions before the game started The Cats came onto the field 33 minutes before kickoff hour looking snappy in white pants and new dark blue jersies bearing the king-size numerals on the back The visitors came out eight minutes later positively dazzling in all-gold togs the pants with a black stripe up the side and the shirts with one broad and two narrow bands in black around the biceps The uniforms look like they could play but the huskies inside did After the gladiators in glitter trotted up to the bench and dropped their helmets then turned their backs to the stand to move onto the gridiron to warm up the breadth and bulk of the invaders caused an audible murmur from the spectators floor Mfcraiijr li ftOt'TH mr ds Pmkrlnia 7
