 ATHLETICS AT KENTUCKY
Kentucky’s athletic program, a well-balanced antl ambitious ac-
tivity featuring inter-collegiate competition in nine different sports, is
organized under the Department of Athletics and a corporation known
as the University of Kentucky Athletics Association. i
The program is conducted without overemphasis or sacrifice of ‘
educational objectives and in strict compliance with the rules of the  
University, the Southeastern Conference and the National Collegiate $
Athletic Association.
A Board of Directors, headed by UK President Frank Dickey, main·
tains overall policy supervision of the athletic program. Dr. Leo Cham-
berlain, vice-president of the University, has general supervision over
the Department and serves as vice-chairman of the Board. Dr. A. D.
Kirwan, one-time Wildcat coach and UK’s faculty representative to the
Southeastern Conference, serves the directors as secretary and Dr. Frank
Peterson, UK vice-president for business administration, acts as treas-
urer in an ex—officio capacity.
Supervising the steady growth and balanced development of one
of the nation’s top athletic programs is Bernie A. Shively, a former
Illinois grid All-American and a veteran of nearly 25 years in the post
of Director of Athletics.
The Association's Board of Directors is composed of the following:
Dr. Frank G. Dickey, Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain,
Chairman Vice Chairman
Dr. A. D. Kirwan, Secretary Prof. john Kuiper
james B. Allen Dr. W. L. Matthews, jr.

- BAIT FOR THE GRADS  
Kentucky will be the homecoming opponent of only one team- l
Georgia-this season. Last year, two clubs—Georgia and Vanderbilt-
picked the WVildcats to help entertain the old grads and in years gone
by the Kentuckians appeared in as many as four such contests during
the same season. UK saw its own string of 13 straight homecoming suc-
cesses ended in 1961 by Tennessee.

 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
BERNIE A. SHIVELY
Supervising the steady growth and balanced development of one
of the nation’s top athletic programs is the Herculean task being car- `
ried out successfully by Bernie A. Shively.
I·`ew who have observed the untiring efforts of the tall, silver-
haired fornier .-\ll-America footballer in the service of the University
of Kentucky since 1927 and as Director of Athletics since 1938 will argue
his fitness as an athletic Hercules. Not only has Shively guided the de-
velopment of Kentucky as a
nationally-respected p owe r in
- V    V , V major sports, but he has also
  __-`` ( V gained personal prestige through
 ég? Y   l   M " a fair-minded approach to many
    V V ‘//,   a ` pI`O1)1€II1S.
y  ’   During his tenure as Athletic
  I *1   iizi ii ,V_ is  V Director, Shively has directly su-
  ’ VV,-·»   ·V__ _` ``_=,   y V pervised major expansions in
‘     '; Vlnj  "M  Kentucky's athletic plant result-
  ,____       ing from the progression of the
.   fi ,   V       ·,’· school's football and basketball
»    ,WV         A _ teams to greater national promi- .
  hence and increased patronage
  ;~»·v*""”   I by the sports—mindecl public,
'* ttit   /Ar/_     Q A The seating capacity of Ken-
  '’‘‘l     tucky’s football stadium, McLean
,   A   A _ jj,_;__   Stadium on Stoll Field, has been
____  ,.V»—     doubled to bring the current
,,—-‘’‘ `   number of seats to approximate- j
fj; ly 37,500 and on par with most ;
[ £§ other schools located in heavier- 1
· ‘ * populated areas. Powerful light-
ing equipment also was installed i
during the 1948-49 construction  
and a new-type "ioclized" light put up in 1961 to bring night foot-
ball into new popularity. Partly to satisfy the overwhelming number of
basketball devotees, who could not squeeze into the 2,800—seat Alumni
Gymnasium, a 1ong—planned Memorial Coliseum was completed in 1950.
Seating 11,500 persons for cage contests, the four-million dollar Coli-
6

 seum also houses the Athletic Department. More recently, Shively di-
rected the acquisition of a pair of modern, ranch-style living units which
have served as the home of the football team since 1954. "Wildcat
Manor" and "Kitten Lodge" replace three frame houses which the
gridders had occupied since 1949.
4 A large dressing room building and football practice field, used
° since 1955, was abandoned in 1959 to make way for a huge new men’s
dorm. Under Shive1y’s supervision, a spacious new Sports Center was
prepared a short distance away on the University farm to take even
better care of the footballers and spring sports teams. The Sports Cen-
ter is generally regarded as one of the finest sports facilities in the
nation. During the past few months, Stoll Field has undergone a major
"face-1ifting" to improve its playing surface and the view of the fans
sitting in the lower rows of the stands.
All-America Guard At Illinois
A native of Paris, lll., Shively attended the University of Illinois ~
where he was an All-America guard in 1926 on the same grid team `
made famous by Red Grange. Demonstrating a claim to being one of
the finest all—around athletes in Illinois’ history, "Shive" also laid claim
to the Big 10 heavyweight wrestling championship and annexed letters iq
in track before graduating in 1927.
Shively came to Kentucky in 1927 as line coach of football under
. Harry Gammage and six years later was named head of the UK Physi- »
cal Education Department. He succeeded Chet Wynne as Athletic l
Director in 1938. During this period and the years following, he also i
served as track and baseball coach for several seasons and continued
to assist the football staff as line coach until 1944. The next year, 1945,
he assumed full charge of the grid squad for one season before turning
the job over to mentor Paul (Bear) Bryant in 1946.
t The Kentucky Athletic Director is currently chairman of the
’ NCAA Basketball Tournament Committee and for the past nine years
i has been president of the Southeastern Conference Coaches and Ath-
, letic Directors Association. He served as chairman of the SEC Basket-
Y ball Committee for a number of years and is a past chairman of the
l NCAA summer baseball group.
Shively and his wife, Ruth, have two children. Doug was a star end
on the UK grid team for three years ending in 1958 and is now coach-
ing at VPI while daughter Suzanne was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate
of UK in 1957.

HEAD COACH CHARLIE BRADSHAW
(Kentucky '49)
(First Year As A Head Coach)
The personification of qualities of inner toughness, outwardly
serious demeanor, quiet determination, confidence and integrity . . .
That`s lientucky’s capable new head football coach in a nutshell.
Youthful Charlie Bradshaw, 37—year-old ex-VVildcat player and
assistant coach, fulfills all these qualities that are the background for
success 2lIl(l goes a step further. He’s an inspirational leader who
exudes the toughness that it takes for those around him—staff and
players—to get the job at hand done in a way that will pay off with
success. His influence already has 1TlZl(l.€ an indelible impression in
relations with alumni, coaches of the state, followers of Kentucky foot-
ball, prospects and players.
The football philosophy of Bradshaw, who assumed his first head
coaching position last january l0 when he succeeded Blanton Collier
as the institution’s third alumnus coach, has been schooled into him by
nine years’ service in an assistant’s capacity on the staffs of UK and
Alabama. Yet, the approach to the game taken by the new ¥Vildcat
mentor is mainly and uniquely Bradshaw in nature.
A positive approach is foremost with Charlie Bradshaw. lllustra- (
tive of his thinking is his simple statement of d€{€I`II1lll2lIlO11 made as .
a comment upon his being hired as Kentucky’s coach: "If I didn’t think ~
I could get the job done, I wouldn’t be here!"
Emphasizes Winning \Vays
. He believes in the direct way of doing things. The emphasis will
be on how to win instead of what mistakes can be costly enough to
4 cause a loss. He has declared that l1e will be fair, sincere and honest `
  with his team but in turn will expect the same from his players. He y
  stresses the pride to be gained from 100 percent effort and of doing
  things right—which he feels to be synonymous with winning football.
, The church and school also play prominent roles in the plan of de-
; 3 voutly Christian (Baptist) Bradshaw.
§‘  Directness and the positive approach sometimes get mixed up with
;  touglmess and extreme rouglmess. While every sign points to the new
  regime as more demanding to some degree in relations with the squad
I .
 Av. 9
,  \`

 011 the Held, Coach Bradshaw sees 11is reputed "tough guy" approach a
little differently than most people. "There’s a lot of difference between
toughness and unnecessary rougl1ness," he explains. "V\’e are going to
° be tough, I assure you. Football is a contact type of game in which you
have to be tough to win and if it takes rouglmess to teach toughness
that’s what our young men will get. \Ve believe young men will put
out just about as much effort as is demanded of them. 1Ve intend to
demand a great deal through strict discipline rather tl1a11 brute force/’
Charlie grew up in Montgomery, Ala., and started his football at
tl1e age of 15 in Sidney Lanier High. Upon graduation, he was at-
tracted to tl1e University of Kentucky and attended one semester in
1942 without seeing any grid action.
After that first semester, he withdrew to enter tl1e Marine Corps.
He served for three years and saw 19 months’ action in the Pacific Thea-
ter. Following his discharge, Bradshaw returned to UK to play on Paul
Bryant's first tl1ree \\’ildcat aggregations. He earned the first of four
§ letters as a center in 1946 and picked up his three subsequent mono-
1 grams as a 165-pound end. Attempting to get in an allowable fourth
l year of co111petition as a graduate student in 1949,,he was ruled ineli-
gible after three games by SEC Commissioner Bernie Moore.
Coached Under Collier, Bryant
Bradshaw remained on the coaching staff as a student assistant for
the remainder of the seaso11 a11d then, in 1950, returned to his l1o1ne
town 11igh school (Sidney Lanier in Montgomery, Ala.) as coach and
coordinator of a junior high i)I`OgI`2lIH—H position he retained until
I chosen an aide on the first UK staff of Blanton Collier in 1954. After
five years as end coach and later offensive backfield coach, Charlie
moved in 1959 to Alabama as a line tutor for Coach Bryant. In this g
position and the11 as offensive coach last year, he gained much recogni- 1
tion for contributing greatly to the Crimson Tide’s success in progress-
i11g to the peak of undefeated National Cl1Z\1I1I)lOH in 1961.
Coach Bradshaw was graduated from the University of Kentucky -
in 1949 with an AB in Commerce and physical education and later was 1
awarded a master’s degree in school administratio11. He married 11is ‘
high school sweetheart, Martha Austin of Montgomery, in 1945 and
they 11ave a daughter, five-year-old Leigh.
The new `Wildcat football chief will be operating under an initial
four-year pact at undisclosed salary.
