KENTUCKY'S BOWL RECORD
(The Wildcats defeated Villanova, 24-14, in the first and only Great Lakes Bowl in 1947, but that was a box office disaster attended by only 15,000 fans in the mud at Cleveland Stadium. Following are the major bowl appearance of the 'Cats).
SANTA CLARA NIPS 'CATS IN 1950 ORANGE BOWL
After the two teams felt each other out, Kentucky got its first break when John Netoskie recovered a Santa Clara fumble on the UK 49. The Wildcats hurried 51 yards to a touchdown on 14 plays, including two passes for 13 yards. Wilbur (Shorty) Jamerson climaxed the attack with a two-yard smash through right guard. Bobby Brooks kicked the extra point and UK was ahead, 7-0.
Bill Leskovar and Babe Parilli, who completed six out of 11 for 128 yards, almost clicked on a perfect play near the end of the half. Leskovar turned the pass into a 45-yard gain before being knocked out of bounds at the Santa Clara three. Leskovar and Don Phelps failed in their attempts to smash over before time ran out. The ball was resting within inches of paydirt when the intermission came. Wildcat coach Paul "Bear" Bryant later said he should have sent in a pass play. "If it failed," he said, "the clock was killed then we could have tried a field goal."
Santa Clara scored twice in the third quarter, getting a big break when a Phelps' punt traveled only nine yards after a poor snap and gave the Broncos possession on their 46. The drive, sparked by a 25-yard pass from John Pasco to Larry Williams, moved the Broncos to the UK 12. An exchange of fumbles then set the stage for the tying TD, with Pasco scoring on a one-yard sneak. A pass interference call gave the Broncos possession on the UK four later that quarter and Hall Haynes wriggled over.
Kentucky came back with a 52-yard Parilli to Emery Clark touchdown pass, but Brooks missed the extra point try that would have tied the count. The Broncos started their next scoring drive on the UK 39 after an exchange of punts. The drive was climaxed by a 16-yard run by Vogel. Vargas converted to give Santa Clara a 21-13 victory.

'CATS END SOONER STREAK WITH 1951 SUGAR VICTORY
The 1950 Wildcats, climaxing the most successful season (11-1) in UK history, shattered national champion Oklahoma's 31-game win streak, 13-7, with hard-to-solve defenses and by taking advantage of a Sooner mistake to score in the first quarter and pass for another touchdown in the second quarter of the colorful 1951 Sugar Bowl Classic. Then the stout UK defense made an inspired goal-line stand in the third quarter, containing the Oklahoma offense before being scored on in the fourth frame.
It was a brilliantly designed defense, which used three tackles much of the time, causing the hard-pressed Sooners to fumble at key points and making OU quarterback Claude Arnold hasten his playmaking. Inflicting the most damage on the Sooners was Walt Yowarsky, a brawny tackle who hadn't played five minutes on defense all season. Actually operating at left end and next to All-American Bob Gain, Yowarsky repeatedly sliced into the Sooner backfield to break up passes and to make Arnold hurry his hand-offs and laterals. In that lineup, end Ben Zaranka dropped back several yards and played as a linebacker.
Yowarsky recovered a fumble that set up UK's first touchdown, threw the ball carrier for a five-yard loss on third down when Oklahoma attempted to go over from UK's two-yard-line early in the third quarter, and recovered a Sooner fumble on a punt late in the game.
After Yowarsky recovered OU's first-quarter fumble on the UK 22, Parilli on the next play hit Jamerson, who made a leaping catch over Jack Lockett in the end zone. Again moving by air, UK struck again in the second quarter, marching 81 yards with Jamerson scoring from the one. Bob Gain's extra point try was wide. The Wildcat defense, No. 2 in the nation, got its big test when the Sooners drove 68 yards on the ground to the UK two, where Yowarsky made his big tackle. The aroused Sooners went 80 yards in the last minutes of the last quarter, with Billy Vessels taking a lateral from Arnold on the UK 17 and passing to Frankie Anderson for a touchdown. Time ran out with UK ahead, 13-7.

FINE UK DEFENSE STOPS TCU IN COTTON BOWL
Babe Parilli and Emery Clark combined in scoring touchdowns for UK in each of the first two quarters as the Wildcats defeated Texas Christian, 20-7, before 75,349 fans in the 1952 Cotton Bowl at Dallas. Climaxing a 53-yard drive in the final minutes of the first quarter, Parilli threw a five-yard pass to Clark in the end zone. Then in the early stages of the second quarter, Parilli again flipped to Clark in the end zone. This aerial was good for 13 yards, part of a 57-yard attack, but Harry Jones' extra-point attempt was low.
Four times in the first half, UK's defense performed heroically in the clutch. The Horned Frogs, behind their "spread" attack, drove to the 4, 24, 5 and 2-yard lines of UK before being repulsed by a UK defense led by guard Ray Correll.
The Frogs came to life late in third quarter when tailback Gil Bartosh relieved Ray McKnow. In four plays, TCU scored, with Bobby Jack Floyd sweeping down the sidelines 43 yards for a TD. The kick was good.
Kentucky got its final score with 3:33 to go when Ed Hamilton smashed oft left tackle from the three. The Kentuckians might have added another TD in the fading seconds, but time ran out with the ball on the TCU 5.

STEWART, MARTIN OUTSTANDING AS CATS WIN PEACH BOWL
Tailback Rod Stewart scored three touchdowns and linebacker Mike Martin played an outstanding defensive game as Kentucky defeated North Carolina, 21-0, before the first capacity crowd (54,132) to attend a Peach Bowl game in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Kentucky's crushing defense accounted for five UNC turnovers, including a fumble by Matt Kupec on the Carolina 21 after a hit by Bud Diehl and a recovery by James Ramey. It took UK seven plays to break a scoreless deadlock when Stewart bolted over from the one.
North Carolina had only one real scoring threat, and that was set up by a fumbled UK punt by Mike Siganos, which UNC recovered on the UK 25 with the score 7-0 midway of the third quarter. But two running plays netted only six yards and two

passes fell incomplete to end the threat. The Tar Heels managed to get into UK territory only twice in the first half, never crossing the 50 again.
Kentucky gained 334 total yards to Carolina's 108. the last figure being the lowest in Peach Bowl history. UK also held a 19-5 edge in first downs, giving up only three for the first 50 minutes; UNC's total was another record. Stewart outran the entire Carolina backfield. 104-84, and his three touchdowns tied a bowl record. In all fairness to the Tar Heels, they were without the services of their All-American tailback Mike Voight, who suffered an ankle injury two days before the game and did not see action.

Rally Falls Short As 'Cats Lose in Hall of Fame Bowl
With the Wildcats fourth and 10 on their own 37 and less than 1'': minutes to play, Bill Ransdell's pass just eluded the outstretched fingers of Eddie Simmons, who was far downfield and with an open field ahead, and UK lost. 20-16, to West Virginia in the 1983 Hall of Fame Bowl at Birmingham. Ransdell had entered the game with 9:12 to play after West Virginia had scored on a 23-yard field goal attempt by Paul Woodside to lead, 20-1. The freshman from Elizabethtown, KY, marched the Wildcats on an 11-play scoring drive, hitting Joe Phillips with a 13-yard TD pass. Thekick by John Hutcherson was good. The Mountaineers had scored first on a 39-yard field goal by Wood-side late in the first quarter. Kentucky went ahead, 10-3. in the second quarter on a 26-yard halfback pass from Tony Mayes to quarterback Randy Jenkins and a 32-yard field goal by Hutcherson. West Virginia fooled the Wildcats with an on-side kick, which Woodside recovered on the UK 48. to start the second half The Mountaineers drove to the 16. where Jeff Hostetler hit Rich Hollins for the tying score. Neartheendofthethirdquarter.the Mountaineers started a drive on their 19 and marched to the UK 39. where Hostetler broke an option play to the left and carried to the UK 2. He then faked an option and passed to Bob Bennett for a 17-10 lead. (During his short stint, Ransdell completed 9 of 17 for 117 yards and a TD.)
