Traveled To Greece In 1951
In his own right, Lancaster has traveled extensively and received a signal honor when he was invited to prepare the Greek National Basketball Team for the 1968 Olympics. A return six-week tour in Athens was cancelled when Lancaster was asked to stay home and serve as acting athletics chief of staff.
Lancaster had traveled to Greece in the summer of 1951 on a special athletic assignment for the U.S. State Department. The mission called for him to act as an advisor to Greek Basketball Federation officials in Olympic procedures and other matters. He also conducted numerous clinics and coaching schools and gave public lectures on the cage sport. During the summer of 1962, he helped Coach Rupp conduct clinics for Army personnel in the Far East Theater and worked with Rupp on the team's Middle East Tour in 1966 and a clinic in Germany in the summer of 1967.
ATHLETICS AT KENTUCKY
Kentucky's athletic program, a well-balanced and ambitious activity featuring intercollegiate 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 Athletics Association.
A board of directors, headed by the President of the University in the capacity of chairman, maintains overall policy supervision of the athletic program.
In addition to the UK President, board officers include the Vice-President for Student Affairs 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 the athletic program is Athletic Director Harry C. Lancaster.
