Wildcats Turn in Brilliant Win Over Carnegie Tech

KENTUCKY TEAM TRIMS EASTERN FIVE BY 36 TO 34

Visitors Present One of Best Combinations Ever Seen Here

Other Southern Conference members today know the University of Kentucky has another real basketball team. At least, the Wildcats in defeating the unbeaten Carnegie Tech cagers Friday night by a score of 36 to 34, served notice on the Southland that Kentucky may have a team potentially better than it sent to the finals of the Southern Conference tournament at Atlanta last February.

Few teams, if any, that ever faced the Wildcats were stronger or presented a more polished combination than Coach Horgan of the easterners sent against Kentucky Friday night. With five victories already to its credit and not hampered by playing football, as some of the Kentucky basketeers do, the Pittsburgh club offered a brilliant style of play.

Of the two teams on the floor, Carnegie Tech undoubtedly had the edge on the Wildcats, chiefly because of the fact that they have been drilling longer, and it was only the building tenacity with which the Blue and White played that enabled Coach Adolph Rupp to annex his 10th consecutive win on the University floor.

Make Free Throws Good

Outscored on field goals, 15 to 11, it was the Wildcats' ability to sink free throws that gave them their victory. The Kentucky team made good 14 out of 20 free tosses at the basket, the result of 18 fouls called on the Pennsylvanians.

These 18 personal foul, proved costly to the visitors, removing their center, Stentz, from the game before the first half was over, and eliminating Raudabaugh from competition in the second period. "Frenchy" DeMoisey, who led the Kentucky offense with 15 points, followed the two Pennsylvanians to the sidelines late in the second half with four personal fouls. Little replaced the Kentucky center for Kentucky's only substitution.

Outstanding Win

Friday night's victory was perhaps the outstanding win for Kentucky since Bill King sank a free throw in the 1921 Atlanta tournament, giving the Wildcats the southern basketball championship. Carnegie Tech had defeated the champions of the Pittsburgh professional league as well as trimming the independent champions of the state of Pennsylvania. Thursday night, the easterners made their Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers a 67-to-27 lacing at Winchester. Tonight they meet Xavier University at Cincinnati.

Sizzling Fight

The game here was sizzling fight from the first whistle. Six times during the initial half, which ended with Kentucky on top, the score was tied after Carnegie had moved out in front. Passing the ball with dazzling speed, the Pittsburgh quint moved it down near the Kentucky basket, where the ball was passed to J. Jagnow, who jumped into the air, whirled and sank a beauty from the side. Raudabaugh followed with another two points from the side of the court. His shot never touched the rim.

Acting Capt. Ellis Johnson called for time for the Wildcats, and after play was resumed Kentucky started scoring when DeMoisey clicked from the side of the court.

Two free throws by DeMoisey and hen a tip in basket by the same player, after Raudabaugh had dribbled in for a basket, tied the score at six points. Carnegie Tech checked this spurt with a time out, but Kentucky advanced to an 8-6 lead when play was resumed.

Carnegie Tech tied the count and later went into a 9-8 advantage before Kentucky was able to deadlock matters again when Worthington hit a free throw. With eight minutes of the half left, the visitors enjoyed a 13-to-9 margin, but in the next three minutes Kentucky had caught up again. The score was again tied at 15 points and later at 17 each.

Stentz Leaves Game

With three minutes to go Stentz committed his fourth personal foul and left the game. Sale made the throw good and DeMoisey got another crip before the half was over, giving Kentucky a 20-to-17 lead at the rest period.

Shortly after the second half opened, Carnegie Tech was trailing by only point, 21-to-20, but the Wildcats ...

....at the basket from far out on the floor and ran their end of the score up to 28 points before Sale slipped through for a crip.

The shorter the time grew, the faster the visitors appeared to play, and they opened a barrage on the basket which netted them six points in the last three minutes.

Kentucky's victory was marked by the brilliant play of DeMoisey, sophomore center, who was high scorer of the night with six field goals and three free throws, and Ellis Johnson. Not only did the Wildcat center give the visitors a fit with his sensational shooting from any position on the floor, but on the defensive under the basket he broke up numerous attempts at rebound shots.

Johnson, like Jagnow, an all-American scholastic player in the Chicago tournament, turned in the best game of his two years on the Kentucky varsity. Unable to make the tournament squad last season, Johnson has lost no time this season in coming to the front. The former Ashland youth, who was twice named all-American at the Chicago tournament as well as being selected as captain one year, furnished some of the most brilliant play of the night in his defensive work against the Carnegie player who enjoyed the same honor.

Jagnow and Johnson thrilled the crowd with more than one brilliant duel for the ball, with Johnson holding the edge on his foe.

The Wildcats have one game next week, meeting Berea College here Wednesday night.
