Kentucky Scores Late, Tops Cincinnati, 14–6 CINCINNATI. Oct. 25.-A fun bling University of Kentucky football team gathered itself together today for two last half touchdowns and a rough and bruising 14-to-6 victory over the University of Cincinnati. The Wildcats from Kentucky who never had the ball inside Cincinnati’s 40-yard line during the first half, struck swiftly in the third quarter. They registered their first touchdown on a pass from Herb Hunt to Steve Meilinger covering “a yards. Hunt got the other marker in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard plunge which climaxed a 51-yard march. Cincinnati, which reached the Wildcat 1-yard line in the first period and the 4-yard stripe in the second quarter without scoring, finally got it’s only touchdown with less than two minutes to go as Gene Rossi completed seven passes in a 66-yard drive. The last one was a 10-yard toss to Glenn Dillhoff.
