    OHIO STATE HEADS KENTUCKY, 1906 Record Buckeye Crowd of 56,686 Sees Team Fail to Reveal Class. ~OLUMBUS, Ohio, October S. Ohio States foot ball team, I touted by preseason experts as likely winner Of the Big Ten and national championships, fail ed today to display the coordination which featured its play last season, but had enough power to defeat a scrappy University of Kentucky eleven, 19 to 6. The greatest opening day crowd in the history of Ohio State witnessed the contest, 56,686 paid customers. Thirty thousand Of the spectators were high school students admitted at a bargain rate. Coach Chet Wynne’s Southerners, after allowing Ohio to 60 on an 30 yard touchdown march in the first period, stiffened their defense and were a distinct threat to win until Ohio rushed over its third touchdown in the final period.
