Season Review -Review of the Season (Kentuckian)
No one can question the success of the basketball season. When a team plays thirteen games and wins eleven, ???? the season with a rating of 646, it is a safe bet that said aggregation was clothed in class. The Blue and White won every game played on the home floor this season. The only two occassions upon which the Kentucky five failed to connect with the necessary margin, were the games with Virginia and V.M.I.
Coach Brumage initiated practice shortly after Thanksgiving, and it was soon evident from the results of the practice scraps with the scrubs that State was due to clean up in the coming season. A fast second team developed and it was through their efforts that the Varisty took on the necessary values.
The schedule was taken up shortly after the holidays, and Kentucky copped the first two events by hard fighting. Then the team left on an eastern trip, and ????. Ashland Y.M.C.A. and Marshall provided easy picking, but the Blue and White five hit a sang at Virginia. Tired from ??? the C & O, right- of-way, the State quintet went into a game against one of the fastest teams in the East and had the hardest fight of the season. Two nights later the husky V.M.I. five leaped on the exhausted Wildcats and rolled a wide excess between the ???.
A week's rest put the Blue and White floor men in good condition. The new Auditorium door had been opened up, and the Wildcats christened it by breaking the Louisville Y.M.H.A. team 55 to 15. Thereafter the Cats made a clean sweep fo the season. In spite of its distance from the pool room, Patt Hall, and other central points, the Auditorium games drew like a porous plaster, and big crowds saw every game. It sounded good to hear Karl Zerfoss move his flotilla of motor boats up the floor, it was great sport to see Squirrely hit left tackle for eight yards, handling the old pill, as if it were a toy ballon with a rubber string; and when Morgan with that bored blase expression could roll enough into the basket to bring home the groceries - why no wonder the student attendance was heavy.
The games with Tennessee and the scrap with Cincinnati were three of the prettiest exhibitions of basket ball ever staged on a local floor. In each case the Wildcat five finished winner by a nose, and in no game could the result be forcasted.
The Blue and White quintet won games by clever passing, and sure goal shooting. The team played a driving game all season and through several times outclassed in basket shooting, the ability of the guards to follow the ball and break up passing, it landed the decision. The season was a credit to the team, the coach, and the manager, and a good subsoil was ladi for next year's team.
