    Kentucky Wins, $50, Over North Texas Stute LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 16.- Kentucky showed most of its pow er and polish in three early touch down drives as it rolled to a harder-than-expected $50 VIC tory over North Texas State in the football season opener here tonight. A crowd of $4,000 saw the Ken tuckians strike for three first half touchdowns and then rely strongly on reserve power.
