KENTUCKY LOSES TO TENNESSEE 27 TO 22

Referee Who Acts Over the Protest of Wildcats, Puts Two Out of the Game

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 6. -- With a substitute lineup after Captain Morgan, Tuttle and Server had been put out of the game, Kentucky State basketball team was defeated by University of Tennessee 27 to 22. The Wildcats used all of their subs, Kinne and Scott showing to the best advantage. By losing tonight's game Tennessee made a clean sweep of the series, the Volunteers winning last night 36 to 21.

Referee Susong of the Knoxville Y.M.C.A., who officiated over the objections and protest of the Kentucky coach and players, put Tuttle and Server out of the game in the middle of the second half, up to which time the Wildcats had held the lead. Tuttle and Server were put out because of four fouls. Captain Morgan was put out of the game early in the first half.

Game Writeup - Knoxville Journal and Tribune

TENNESSEANS COP ANOTHER

Winning Second Game From Kentucky State Five

Game Was Hotly Played and Was Featured by the Work of Reeder

In a very hotly contested game, the University of Tennessee basketball team defeated the Kentucky State five Saturday by the score of twenty-five to twenty-two, making it two in a row from the Kentuckians.

The game was one of the closest played on the local floor in a long time, and the outcome was in doubt until the referee's whistle announced the close of the fray. Although the locals were five points ahead at the close of the first half, the visitors scored six points in the second period in rapid succession, and took the lead. The score at the close of the first half was fifteen to ten. After the first ten minutes of the second half was played, the score was eighteen to seventeen in favor of the Kentuckians.

A difficult goal by Reeder, whose work was the feature of the game, put the locals ahead once more, but Tuttle's goal again gave his team the advantage. Another goal by Reeder, who made sixteen of the twenty-seven points accredited to his team, put the Volunteers in the lead once more, and they were never headed again.

The game was fast and rough, and many fouls were called, sixteen having been called on the visitors, while the locals were charged up with thirteen. Reeder made ten goals from free throws, following called fouls,and shot three goals from the field.

For the visitors, the best work was done by Scott and Tuttle, guards, although Zerfoss, forward, also played an excellent game. The game was attended by a capacity crowd, and much enthusiasm was manifested.

WILDCATS' QUINTET IS BATTLE SCARED

Four of Basketball Squad to be Used for Vanderbilt Contests

2 GAMES THIS WEEK

Team Back From Tennessee with No Alibis for Two Defeats

Though they lost two of the three games played during the trip, the Wildcats basket ball team and Coach Brumage, who returned yesterday morning, from Knoxville, are not discourages. They won the first game from Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn., and lost both games to the University of Tennessee, the first one after the Wildcats had held the lead into the second half. In the final game Saturday night though the Wildcats were not in the lead at the end of the first half, they quickly took the lead in the first few minutes of the second period, even without the services of Captain Morgan who had been ruled out in the first ten minutes of the game because of four personal fouls.

In the second half of the Saturday game the Wildcats promptly got down to tacks and took the lead from the Volunteers and only after Tuttle and Server had been ruled out for four personal fouls were the Tennesseans able to take the lead which they held until the end. Coach Brumage said all the men played high class ball, and would not offer the alibi that his team would have won had they been able to play the regular team in all of the games. Coach Brumage is a good sport and willing to take the breaks of the game as they come, and would not complain yesterday even of the ruling of the referee who disqualified his men, but he expressed regret that his full team was not in the two Tennessee games.

Tuttle and Scott Star

Reports out of Knoxville credit Tuttle and Scott with playing the most spectacular game for the Kentuckians, Scott going into the Saturday game after a spell of sickness, and taking honors after several of his teammates had been disqualified. Scott's playing help largely to prevent a bigger score being run up in the last half of the final game. Speaking of Tuttle's play in the Friday game, The Knoxville Sentinel, of Saturday, says:

"For the visitors, Mr. Tuttle of football fame, was strictly on the job. He guarded Lum Reeder so closely during the first half of the game that the local star was given very few opportunities to distinguish himself."

But one of the problems of Coach Brumage this week is to nurse several cripples and have them ready for the Vanderbilt games Friday and Saturday. Scott has not recovered fully from the sickness that kept him out of the games last week: Captain Morgan and Zerfoss, the two forwards, came home from Tennessee with lame shoulders; and Schrader was unable to go south with the team last week. But for a big squad of material, which allowed Coach Brumage to have such acceptable substitutes as Gumbert, Ireland and Kinne, the team would have been in bad shape for the Tennesse trip.

Regulars Will Be Ready

All of the disabled regulars will be in good shape, it is believed for the games Friday and Saturday with Vanderbilt, which will be played at the Woodland Auditorium, and Coach Brumage said last night he expected to win both contests from the Commodores, in fact every game remaining on the Wildcats' schedule.

"Our men are as good basket ball players as I have seen any where," said the big coach yesterday. "They know the game, know each other because of long service together, and with an even break of luck I believe we will win every game on the schedule from now until the end of the season."
