WILDCATS FALL SECOND TIME BEFORE MARIETTA

Eleven Fouls are Called On State Five and Ohio Suffers Once

Fouls called on the State University basketball team were responsible for their defeat last night in the Auditorium at the hands of the Marietta College five by the score of 27 to 23. The Blues outtossed the Ohio quintet in open shots, but the successful target practice of Don Whiting in making the remarkable record of eleven bullseyes of twelve chances spelled defeat for Tigert's men.

The game closed the career of the Blue quintet for this season unless by some chance the University of Louisville five decides to play off the existing tie in the state championship race.

The outstanding features of Kentucky's play were the superior defensive work of Karl Zerfoss and George Gumbert, and the remarkable comeback presented to the local fans by Jim Server when sent to the front in the last half. The varsity center has been sick for a week, but when routed from the sidelines last night when the game was waning and the Marietta five far ahead, he got into the battle with 'zip aplenty.' Four shots in as many minutes was the record of this boy, and it came near putting the Kentucky company on even terms with the enemy.

Up until the last three minutes of play Coach Littick, of Centre College, was the sole offiical and he called twelve fouls. Eleven of these were charged to the Blues' account. It was unfortunate that Mr. Littick could look in only one direction at a time. It is also considerd highly improbable that the Kentucky outfit committed eleven times as many fouls as the visitors, in the opinion of most experts who saw the game. In the last frame King, of the Y.M.C.A. was sent in by agreement to umpire in the backfield, and this came nearer evening matters.

At that it was a fighting game and the class of basketball was equal to that of the opening night. Both teams were passing in great form and the galleries were kept in a state of ferment from start to finish. The sport, was the best seen here this season. The Marietta squad will leave this morning for home and they have made a reputation for excellent play that will not soon be forgotten. The two defeats they handed the Blues were by close margins and in every contest spectacular shots featured their work.
