ON THE COVERNational Coach of the Year for 1966, Adolph Rupp, poses proudly with his "Dynamic Duo"returning All-Americans Pat Riley (No. 42) and Louie Dampier (No. 10). THE MIDDLE EAST TOUR  1966
Baron Adolph Rupp's crowd-pleasing Kentucky Wildcats, accorded No. 1 position in the cage world last season before becoming victims of a near miss in their bid for an unprecedented fifth NCAA crown, won the United States many new friends overseas as the result of a post-season good will tour last summer.
Sponsored by the U.S. State Department under a cultural exchange program, the tour presented the colorful Kentuckians in three Middle East nationsGreece, Israel and Iranfor a series of 17 exhibitions, clinics, intra-squad scrimmages and a featured participation in the first International University Tournament. For five weeks, the Wildcats represented their native country as sports ambassadors.
The winningest combination in the history of basketball carried out its public relations mission well both on the court, where they lost only once, and offwhen they made numerous public appearances and visited local officials and American diplomatic personnel.
Highlight of the interesting but tring tour was the International University Tournament in Yad Elihau Stadium at Tel Aviv, Israel. Kentucky swept impressively past five foreign foes to capture the title. Rupp's Runts coped with the adversities of outdoor courts, rubber balls, heat, lack of proper food and unfamiliar rules to top Warsaw in the champion contest, 87-57. Earlier, the 'Cats measured Warsaw, Cambridge, Salonika and Istanbul. Other participants in the Olympics-flavored tournament included host Tel Aviv, Heidelberg, and Rome. UK's lone defeat came in a post-tournament exhibition with the Israeli National All-Stars. The All-Stars, featuring a 6-1 1 standout center and many Olympic team candidates, won by a score of 81-76.
Although nine of the ten members of the team that made the trip will be back this season, Coach Rupp discounts the competitive experience gained. "With the necessity of playing under a strange set of rules at odd hours on dust-swept outdoor courts, I just don't think we gained much additional knowledge about our boys," he declared. "However, I do value the experience in a cultural way and I feel we made many friends for our country."
Rupp explained further that the overseas games^did not succeed in pointing up positively the prospective replacements for graduated stars Larry Conley and Tommy Kron. One of the top choices to step into Kron's shoes at guard, Bob Tallent, looked good as a scorer at timesparticularly against Warsawbut the team's most consistent threats continued to be Pat Riley, who averaged 22 during the tournament, and little Louie Dampierimpressive in both scoring (17.2) and rebounding despite a sprained ankle. Tallent averaged 12.4 while center-forward Thad Jaracz had nine points a game, Larry Conley six and Cliff Berger, destined for experimental duty as the regular center, averaged just 5.8. As a team, Kentucky posted 86.2 points a game in beating five straight opponents who combined to tally an average of 51.2 points.
Additional Wildcats making the tour were Jim LeMaster, Gary Gamble, Tommy Porter and Steve Clevenger. They were accompanied by Coach Rupp, Coach Lancaster and Athletic Director Bernie A. Shively.

6 THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
. . . The State Is Our Campus
Located in Lexington, an urban community of over 1 50,000 population in the heart of Kentucky's famed Blue Grass region, University of Kentucky is a state-supported, land-grant institution which celebrated its centennial year in 1965.
The present school, which currently enrolls about 1 8,000 students and offers instruction in 10 academic colleges plus a Graduate School and a division of Extended Programs, had its beginnings in 1 865 when it was established as a part of old Kentucky University. This action by the State Legislature united sectarian and public education under one organization for the first time. Federal funds authorized under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanical arts within KU and, in 1878, A&M College was separated from KU to become a separate state institution on the general site of what is now the 706-acre main campus. Name changes in 1908 and 1916 resulted in the title by which the school is now known.
A new chief administrative officer, Dr. John W. Oswald, took over reins of the University at the beginning of the 1963-64 school year. The 49-year-old new president, who succeeded Dr. Frank Dickey, has an athletic background including collegiate football play at DePauw and letters in basketball and track. He was selected on the Sports Illustrated Silver Anniversary All-America Team in 1962. Dr. Oswald, whose special field is plant pathology, came to Kentucky from a position as vice-president-administration, Statewide University, University of California.
The University is on the approved list of the Association of American Universities and is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It is fully accredited in its respective colleges and departments by all of the major professional societies and educational organizations.
ATHLETICS AT KENTUCKY
Kentucky's athletic program, a well-balanced and ambitious activity featuring inter-collegiate competition in ten different sports, is organized under the Department of Athletics and a corporation known as the University of Kentucky Athletics Association.
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 Association.
A board of directors, headed by University President John W. Oswald in the capacity of chairman, maintains overall policy supervision of the athletic program. In addition to the UK President, board officers include Robert Johnson as vice-chairman and Dr. W. L. Matthews in the capacity of secretary. Fourteen other men, drawn from the University faculty and the general public, also serve on the board as appointees of the president as does a student representative.
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 over 25 years in the post of Director of Athletics.
The Association's Board of Directors is composed of the following:
Dr. John W. Oswald, Chairman Robert Johnson, Vice-Chairman Dr. W. L. Matthews, Jr., Secretary Dr. Ralph Angelucci Prof. David Blythe Dr. Aubrey J. Brown
Dr. Loren Carlson Dr. Glen Creech Dr. Thomas Clark Dr. John Douglas Dr. Lyman Ginger Dr. A. D. Kirwan
Douglas Parrish Carson Porter
(Student) Dr. Douglas Schwartz James H. Pence Floyd Wright
7  University of Kentucky is able to boast proudly of having one of the nation's most harmonious and well-balanced athletic programsSeptember to June activity in 1 0 different sports featuring more than 500 athletes in action before audiences that exceed a half million persons and involving use of facilities valued at several million dollars.
Supervising the steady growth and balanced development of one of the top intercollegiate athletic programs in the country today is a tall, silver-haired, former gridiron All-American known familiarly to thousands of UK sport fans as "Shive."
He is, by name, Bernie A. Shively. In his position as Kentucky's Director of Athletics since 1938, this gentleman of many talents has been largely responsible for guiding the University to increasing prominence in the athletic world.
In addition to a fair-minded policy direction that has resulted in "big time" stature for the school's athletic teams, Shively during his 28-year tenure has directly supervised major expansions in the physical plant designed to keep pace with the growing patronage by a sports-minded public. Among these have been the doubling of the seating capacity of Stoll Field, and preparation of a spacious sports center to provide top facilities for spring sports teams and football practice.
The seating capacity of Kentucky's football stadium, McLean Stadium on Stoll Field, has been doubled to bring the current number of seats to approximately 37,500 and on par with most other schools located in heavier-populated areas. Powerful lighting equipment also was installed during the 1948-49 construction and a new-type "iodized" light put up in 1961 to bring night football into new popularity. Partly to satisfy the overwhelming number of basketball devotees, who could not squeeze into the 2,800-seat Alumni Gymnasium, a long-planned Memorial Coliseum was completed in 1950. Seating 1 1,500 persons for cage contests, the four-million dollar Coliseum also houses the Athletic Department. More recently, Shively directed 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" replaced three frame houses which the gridders had occupied since 1949.
Plans Spacious New Sports Center
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 Shively'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 Center is generally regarded as one of the finest sports facilities in the nation.
Stoll Field has undergone, with Shively's supervision, a major "face-lifting" to improve its playing surface and the view of the fans sitting in the lower rows of the stands.
Born in Oliver, III., May 26, 1903, Shively attended Paris (III.) High school and there began his athletic career by participating in track and football. Although he was considered an outstanding backfield man in high school, Shively didn't attract the serious attention of collegiate scouts. He entered Illinois and tried out for the football team on his own. From that humble beginning, Shively went on to become a great guard under Coach Bob Zuppke on the same I Mini team made famous by the immortal Red Grange.
Shive played two years with Grange, running interference for the "Galloping Ghost" and made All-America in 1926 as a senior despite a bad knee that handicapped his playing. He also won the heavyweight wrestling championship of the Big 10 and was a standout in track to rank as one of the finest all-around athletes in Illinois' history.
Shively came to Kentucky in 1927 as line coach of football under Harry Gam-mage and six years later was named head of the UK Physical Education Department. He succeeded Chet Wynne as Athletic Director in 1938.  During this period and the
9 years following, he also 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.
The Kentucky Athletic Director is a past chairman of the NCAA Basketball Tournament Committee and for the past 13 years has been president of the Southeastern Conference Coaches and Athletic Directors Association. He served as chairman of the SEC Basketball Committee for a number of years and is a past chairman of the NCAA summer baseball group. Shively also has found time to be active in civic and alumni affairs.
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 coaching at UK after a six-year stint at Virginia Tech, while daughter Suzanne was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in 1 957.

1 2 ADOLPH FREDERICK RUPP
"Nation's Winningest Basketball Coach"
36 Years  Won 752, Lost 152  83.1 %
For almost four decades, the sports world has watched an amazing record being forged with near perfection out of raw material by a colorful figure in the Blue Grass country of Kentucky known familiarly to hundreds of thousands as the "Man in the Brown Suit."
He is Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and when the sport of basketball is mentioned today, a direct chain of thought brings out the name of this maker of champions who holds undisputed rank as the "Nation's Winningest Basketball Coach." The name of Rupp, feared and respected in opponents' hearts and beloved by the millions who have witnessed the remarkable success of his Wildcat cage teams, has become synonymous with the game of basketball.
Such unprecedented recognition for the fabulous mentor is only natural since his success in the past 36 years as head man of the fabled Kentucky cage thoroughbreds has been nothing short of phenomenal. It would take a book longer than his own technical best-seller, "Championship Basketball," to recite the record completely.  Briefly, however, that record includes:
An amazing 752 victories out of 904 starts for an unparalleled winning percentage of better than 83 percent against major competition.
One of only two still-active major college coaches with 700 career victories to his credit.
Certification by the NCAA Service Bureau as the nation's most successful collegiate basketball coach, both for the decade ending in 1961 and at the 20-year level.
Selection as the unanimous national "Coach of the Year" in 1966 for the fourth time in his career and runner-up for the 1957 and 1964 seasons.
An unprecedented honor roll of four NCAA Tournament championships picked up by his Wildcats who hold the all-time record of 15 appearances in the national classic and can claim more victories in NCAA play (26) than any other team.
Coach of the International Universities Tournament champions in 1966.
A nominal world championship as co-coach of the successful USA entry in the
1948 Olympic Games which included members of Kentucky's NCAA champions. Producer of more Olympic gold medallion winners (7) than any other cage coach. An all-time record total of 22 Southeastern Conference titles since the league
was organized in 1933. Election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959 and previous
selection (in 1946) by Helms Athletic Foundation as a member of their exclusive
Hall of Fame.

Election to the Kentucky Hall of Fame (1945), outstanding citizen of Lexington (1949) and twice honorary citizen of the City of New Orleans. Enrolled in the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame in 1965.

Rupp's Teams Play In Most Tournaments

In contrast, the Rupp-led Wildcats have the distinction of playing in more tournaments of all types than any other team. All told, his Bluegrass fives have achieved the unequalled feat of 154 victories against only 42 defeats, covering action in 44 national classics plus 29 conference meets, the '48 Olympics and the International Universities Tournament of 1966.
