  ' j If you’ve never heard UK football coach ]ohn Ray  
  5 speak, try to attend a function at which he’s the main
. attraction. What you’ll hear about the future of UK foot- X AS
ball and what you’ll feel for this man and his beliefs will {   1
· make you wish for football equipment and a chance to .
.   get on the field. i
In this Alumnus you’ll find a brief article written by V .
the coach, giving his basic outlook on the 1971 season. IO
He gives away no secrets. He doesn’t come right out and
say UK is going to be a winner this year. He does say
that the Wildcats are going to be better. Q M
In two years at the University, the football team has Q,
.. *_     “   ‘   —.  fj I   y " won but four games. Yet, Ray says, he remains “eternally  
.’*— -, i.' _ _, ·  QQ? ‘j . optimistic.”  
  . _,     if  \`    g Despite having the same number of wins each season,   Ia
_   4,* I   wi if ""'”"·D    .  · _ Bay feels the squad improved last year simply because  
  I,  ’~-, V ff   · V     . 5 the score differential in losing causes was less the second  
  T " ¤ J     - year than the first.  
i ~ ` ._ ___     In 1971 he hopefully points to sophomores, products of  
      i I · ` the first full recruiting year by his staff. These young ¤· E
I ~ ` men, together with a nucleus from last year, Bay thinks,   E
  I ° ~ ‘ `. will give him what is needed to take a giant leap down  
i     _, ` the road to recovery of past glories in UK football.  
, '··&·~ _ M} All we can say is, if football games were won by   P
_ • _  ‘ · A *1; F enthusiasm and hard work alone, ]ohn l’iay’s teams would  
. :,,,,1 gr   . is I be undefeated. We stand behind you Coach.

.. ~ , A   » I feel inclined to exercise an editor’s prerogative and  
Q   acknowledge the retirement of a UK professor who served
l   the University over 39 years. Dr. ]ohn H. Bondurant i
,, served in the Department of Agriculture Economics from k I
February, 1932, until his retirement ]uly 1, 1971. During i
Eur] D. \VuIIaee ’21, Lexington, is the spirit behind the that tenure he was honored for various achievements,
redeuelopmenl of Shrikerlouvn. Read of the Siialcers be- but none can compare with the honor he has given this
