ball, but as he grew older he
graduated to a volleyball and a

Ironically enough, Coach Rudp
once ordered Bill out of Alumni
Gym, the 'Cats old gym on the
Avenue of Champions, during the
days of the "Fabulous Five." Bill
had Just bought one of Rupp's
"Championship Basketball" books
and was out to get the famous
coach's autograph.
"The 1948-4- 9 Wildcat team was
holding a scrimmage session in the
gym," Llrkert said, "and I was attempting to get Mr. Rupp's autograph. On my way over to him a
basketball bounced by way and I
took a rouple of unsuccessful attempts at the basket.
"I then walked toward tne coach
and he said, 'Get out of this gym,
kid.' and I left." Bill said. But a
few days later Lickcrt got his
autograph. Rupp just found out
about this little incident two weeks
aizo. So it took Lickert exactly 10
years to jump from a pest to a

in his Lafayette career.
These can be added, to his
honors and state tourney
participations.
Lickert lauded three coaches and
gave them much of the credit for
success in the
his present-da- y
game. The trio is Ralph Carlisle,
who coached Lickert in high
school; Harry Lancaster, who prepared him for varsity action as a
freshman, and Rupp.
"I think a lot of Carlisle," Lickert said. "I think he Is a great
roach, one of the best In the high
school ranks." Carlisle continually
builds tremendous teams and has
one of the best state tourney
records In the commonwealth.
Eleven trophies line the mantel
in the Lickert household. The
awards date back to his little
league baseball days. Eight of the
11 achievements were won on the
diamond. Next to basketball Bill
loves baseball and plays it well,
too. In high school he alternated
between the battery positions.

sights on an NCAA triumph as
his main sports ambition. Starling
on the night of March 13 in Evans-tohe will be working with the
hope his sights will be fulfilled.
Bill is certainly one of the well-oile- d
cogs in the Wildcat machine,
which has already experienced
four NCAA titles.
Kentucky performed three times
before the national television
cameras this season. This meant
playing the game in the afternoon.
"I like Saturday afternoon games,"
Bill said. "You don't have to wait
all day for the game to start. That
waiting is terrible."
