Cardinals Leave For Wesleyan Melee
KINGMEN HOPE TO
FLASH FORM THAT
WON LAST FRACAS
Thoroughbreds Doped To
Win But Expect Stiff
Tussle With Panthers.
Firmly resolved to repeat their
brilliant exhibition of fighting ability
demonstrated last week in the game
with Western Normal, Tom King’s
Cardinals, twenty-four strong, em-barked
this morning for Winchester,
where they will play Kentucky Wes-leyan
tomorrow. With the exception
of Marshal Espie, who is in a hospital
suffering with a hip injury received
a little while after he had dashed
across the goal for Louisville’s first
marker last Saturday, all the regu-lars
are in condition to play.
Although the dopesters favor the
Cards, it is to be remembered that
Wesleyan put up a valiant fight
against the Kingmen last year and
are expeced to do the same tomorrow.
Although outplayed by a considerable
margin throughout the game jast
season, the Panthers succeeded in
holding Louisville scoreless until
Poachy Marks, receiving a pass from
Blackerby, dashed across the white
line in the last split fraction of a
second of the game, to beat them
G-0.
This year, Centre beat the Metho-dists
by* only one touchdown, and this
would seem to indicate that the two
teams will be prettily evenly matched
for the fracas tomorrow. However,
Centre succeeded only in tying their
game w7ith Western Normal this year,
both teams failing to score, while the
Cardinals overwhelmed Western last
week, 26-10.
Regardless of all arithmetical
“dope”—whether favorable or other-wise—
the men of Coach King are bent
on further redeeming themselves for
their 6-0 defeat at the hands of Cen-tre.
That they are not merely “spoof-ing”
as regards their eagerness for
redemption tilts, was proven by their
scintillating performance of last Sat-urday.
Watch ’em in the game to-morrow

Contracts Let
For First Of
New Buildings
It has been officially announced that
the general contract for the new ad-ministration
building of the Univer-sity
of Louisville has been awarded.
The total cost has been estimated at
$300,000. This new building will be
used for the administration offices,
class rooms, and temporarily, for the
university library. It will be con-structed
of brick stone; and will be
copied after the main library build-ing
of the University of Virginia, in
the Georgian style of architecture. It
will face Third Street.
This building, to be completed by
September, 1927, will be one of the
biggest things, figuratively and liter-ally,
on the campus. It will be a
great asset to the City of Louisville
as well as to the University. Funds
for the building were made available
by the $1,000,000 University bond
issue, which was passed by Louisville
voters in the elections of November,
1925.
TRIO HAS YET TO
BE DEFEATED IN
POLLS IMBROGLIO
Upper Liberal Arts Classes
Now Organized For
1926-27 Season.
Fred Koster, William Keller, and
Calvin Gray were swept into the pres-idences
of the senior, junior, and
sophomores classes of the College of
Liberal Arts at the class election
finals held in the Library building
Monday under the auspices of the
Student Governing Board.
The balloting was conducted by the
Australian system, the method inau-gurated
by last year’s Student Gov-ning
Board in the effort to reduce un-fairness
in elections to a minimum.
The battle of the ballots started at
10 o’clock in the morning and ended
at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Roster’s opponent was Embert Rice,
president of the University of Louis-ville
Players and president of the
Junior Class last year. Koster and
Rice opposed each other in the stu-dent
governing board election, the
former being returned the victor. Kos-ter
won the class presidency in his
freshman year and is a four-sport
letter man.
Results of the other races in the
senior class show that Miss Mildred
Hall, president of the Journalism Club
was returned victor over Smith Tay-lor
for vice-president; Miss Annie
Ferry victor over Emile Pragoff for
secretary; Miss Gladys Friend over
Miss Verna Buyer for treasurer; and
Miss Ollie May Dabbs over Dan
Thompson for historian.
Fred G. Harlow opposed Keller in
the Junior fight. Other returns from
the junior balloting are as follows:
Leslie Hauger defeated Miss Mar-garet
Chambers for vice-president;
Miss Helen Anderson defeated Miss
Lilie Mae Corn for secretary; Miss
Ruth Robinson defeated Donald Hay- den for treasurer; and William Colvin
surprised by besting the popular
“f op
’ Arnold for sergeant-at-arms.
Calvin Gray established a precedent
when he was elected to the presidency
of the sophomore class. He won the

Journalism Club, News
Invite Marie to Campus
The Cardinal News and the Journ-alism
Club of the University of Louis-ville
have written a letter to Mr.
Charles G. Middleton, who is chair-man
of the entertainment committee
for Queen Marie, inviting her to visit
the campus of the University. These
two organizations are to select a
committtee from their members which
will greet the Queen and point out
the places o finterest on the campus.
Inasmuch as the University of Louis-ville
is the oldest municipal Universi-ty
in the United States, having been
founded in 1837, and inasmuch as The
Playhouse is among the best in the
country the Queen should find the
campus interesting.
