Wildcats Administer 39-10 Drubbing to Colonels to Win State Championship

Centre Fight Goes for Naught Against Kentucky's Coolness

Blue and White Play Their Greatest Game of Season in Handing Ancient Rivals Decisive Defeat Before Largest Crowd of Year - Visitors' Offense Stopped at Every Turn

Applegran's Men Ready for Tournament

Defeat, hand-painted and having all the frills dictated by the styles of the day, was shoved in the face of the Centre Colonels then rammed down their throat last night at the University of Kentucky gymnasium by the Wildcats, who romped away to a 39 to 10 victory for the state championship. The largest crowd of the season was present.

Centre's offense, dependent on the dribbling of each member of the team with Covington primed to set the Wildcats on their heads, was offset at every turn. On the other hand, the individual floor work of the Wildcats and their deceptive method of drawing the Colonels out of position, proved the greatest offense seen in action on the Kenucky floor this season.

It was a beating that Kentucky gave Centre, but one of a strictly scientific basis. The Colonels had the fight for which they are noted, but the Wildcats playing coolly at every moment out-smarted the Gold and White boys to a fare-ye-well.

As Good As Big Ten Teams

Kentucky looked like a great quintet last night - as good as Michigan and Indiana, who played here earlier in the season and who are proving dangerous in the Western Conference race at the present time. The team never played better basketball and if their efforts at the Southern Conference at Atlanta to which they go the latter part of this week are as good as they were last night, the Wildcats can be expected to return from Georgia with another cup to stand beside that the boys of 1931 brought home.

What made the Wildcats look so flashy was the fact that practically all of their goals were of the crip variety. Little sharpshooting was attempted by the Wildcats, who confined their efforts to drawing out the Centre guards then a quick step and an easy shot.

The scoring was slow during the first few minutes but the Wildcats were the first to break the ice. With Captain McFarland doing his best - which is a whole lot - the score soon mounted and when the first half was over, Kentucky was riding the waves to a 16 to 6 tune.

Work Smoother in Last Half

In the second period, Clarence Applegran's men worked smoother than ever dropping in eight field goals while the visitors were getting a pair, both on long shots. Toward the last the "wrecking crew" was the sent in and had little difficulty in holding the tired and dizzy Colonels.

The referee, Drueck, of Cincinnati, was all eyes and only a few mishaps ecaped him. Both the Colonels and Wildcats were frequent violators of the traveling rule and he did not hesitate in blowing his whistle. Kentucky had 15 free throws making nine of them, while Centre made good only two out of 12.
