Founded in 1902, Kentucky Central Life Insurance Company is now celebrating its 65th year of service to the American public. As Kentucky's oldest life insurance company, we have grown from a small domestic firm to an organization providing more than one billion dollars of life insurance protection to individuals and families throughout the United States. During this span of nearly two-thirds of a century, sweeping scientific and technological changes have occurred on the American scene. And though we have always been progressive-minded and kept pace with the changing insurance needs of the American public, we have stubbornly clung to the high standards of service established by our founders. UK Administration
GOVERNOR LOUIE B. NUNN, elected on Nov. 7 as Kentucky's new chief executive, becomes closely associated with University of Kentucky by virtue of his automatic assumption of the position of chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Glasgow attorney, first Republican in 20 years to win the governorship, boasts eminent qualifications based on long public service. His 15 years of service to the people include terms as county judge of Barren County and city attorney of Glasgow. Governor Nunn was born March 8, 1924, in Park, Ky. He and his wife, the former Buela Cornelius Aspley, are the parents of five children.

PRESIDENT JOHN W. OSWALD took over as administrative head of Kentucky's state university only four short years ago but has already proven himself one of the nation's most able educational leaders. Dr. Oswald, at the age of 49, is a man ideally equipped in academic and general background to guide U.K. into its second century. He holds academic degrees from De Pauw and University of California and is well acquainted with athletics at all levels. The UK president served as captain of the 1937 De Pauw football team and later, at UC, coached the Davis campus gridders for three years as an avocation. Dr. Oswald, a plant pathology specialist, came to U.K. from a position as vice-president-administration at California. He was honored in 1962 by selection on the Silver Anniversary All-America team chosen by Sports Illustrated.

VICE-PRESIDENT ROBERT JOHNSON, in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, has maintained overall policy supervision of the school's athletic program since he was appointed a vice-president in December, 1964. Since the passing of Athletic Director Bernie Shively, Mr. Johnson has assumed additional responsibility in the direction of Kentucky's athletic activities and will serve as interim administrator of the department until the selection of a new Director of Athletics. Mr. Johnson is a native of New York and a graduate of State Teachers College, Cortland, New York. He has a master's degree in public health from Yale University and also has done graduate work at several other prominent universities. He came to UK in 1960 to organize and direct the Medical Center's Division of State and Local Services and continued in that post until elevated to the position of Vice-President for Student Affairs. ADOLPH RUPP OF KENTUCKY
"The Baron of Basketball"
National Coach of the Year for 1966 and the nation's winningest basketball coach for nearly four decades and one of the most colorful figures in the game today . . . That's Baron Adolph Rupp, who this season aims at producing a winner at University of Kentucky for the 38th year.
Able to boast of a nation-leading career percentage of 83 percent success in his chosen profession, Coach Rupp has guided the Wildcats since 1930and never had a losing season.
Few major goals of the coaching profession have escaped the grasp of this 66-year-old veteran, feared and respected by opponents and beloved by millions of fans to whom he is known familiarly as "The Man In The Brown Suit." The appellation was tagged on Rupp years ago in tribute to his superstitious preference of brown as the color of his game-night wardrobe.
In his own backyard (the Southeastern Conference) Rupp is generally regarded as the prime benefactor of Dixie basketballhaving goaded loop schools into providing better places to play, recruiting better boys and giving more emphasis to the sport. Hiss success in raising the stature of southern cage play has "come back to haunt" Rupp in the form of stiffer competition both on the court and recruiting battleground.
But Coach Rupp professes no regrets and his achievements serve as a buffer that is not likely to be broken down for many a year to come. Those achievements make a list too long to recount entirely.  However, a few of the man's major accomplishments include: 765 victories in 930 starts during 37 years at Kentucky.
Membership in the ultra-exclusive "700 Club" (700 career victories) achieved at the earliest stage of any coach.
An unprecedented four NCAA titles captured during a record 15 tournament appearances.
A record 22 conference championships in 34 years of SEC existence.
Top world honors as he helped guide the USA entry to success in the 1948 Olympics.
National "Coach of the Year" four times and overwhelming choice again in 1 966 for top SEC coaching honors.
Producer of more All-Americans (24 players honored 34 times), more Olympic goald medallion winners (7) and more
material for the pro ranks (25 players) than any other coach. Membership on the national basketball rules committee.
Coach of champions in the first International Universities Tournament last summer. -Honored as "Coach of the Century" in 1967 by Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club.

JIM LeMASTER Senior Guard Lexington, Ky.
DAN ISSEL
Sophomore Center Batavia, III.
Could be classified as a farmboyhis father is resident manager of Spendthrift Farm on the outskirts of Lexington but attended high school in Paris, Ky. He earned All-State honors in 1964 at Bourbon County High as a 24-point scorer and also was a grid star. Kentucky's first cage All-America (Basil Haydon '21) also hailed from Paris, but Jim isn't expected to follow in Haydon's footsteps.
Considered a reliable "fireman," however, and should shore up the Wildcat bench this season if he doesn't nail down a starting guard position. Saw action in 17 games, with two starts and 217 minutes playing time last season. Averaged 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds.
A tough, muscular competitor, LeMaster handles himself well on the court and is classified a fine floorman as well as "take charge" type and a fine passer. Hit 51.7 per cent of his shots last season, but his strong point probably is defense. Won Jaycees Freshman Leadership Award as a yearling.
Displayed rebounding talent that Wildcats have long lacked as he garnered 355 grabs in 20 games for 17.7 average last season. Also held up his end of scoring, finished second on squad with 416 points for a 20.8 average. His 50.6 per cent from the field and contributed 35 assists.
Definitely a top performer at starting center position. Chose Kentucky over 100 interested schools. Classed by Coach Rupp as "the best pivot prospect in the country." Scouts called Issel one of top three schoolboy cagers in nation.
Blessed with fine speed, great ability and plenty of moves near the basket. Scored 2,500 points in high school career of 1 06 games725 for 25 average in senior season. Excellent student majoring in Commerce.

 Assistant Coach HARRY LANCASTER
Recognized as one of the top assistant coaches in the profession, Harry Lancaster has served in the capacity of chief aide to Baron Adolph Rupp since 1946. Among his various duties, the Paris (Ky.) native spends much time scouting future opponents of the Wildcats, recruiting some of the best schoolboy talent in the nation and coaching with much success the UK freshman cage team. Lancaster in the past 17 seasons has guided the Kittens to a record of 193 wins and only 50 losses. Harry is a graduate of Georgetown (Ky.) College, where he was an all-around sports standout in early thirties. An All-Conference halfback in football three straight years, his grid career almost overshadowed his play on the basketball court. Even though he considered himself a better gridder than basketeer, he starred in basketball with an equal number of All-Conference selections and wisely chose to stick with the cage sport as a career. Lancaster spent nine years as a high school principal and coach before coming to UK in 1942 as a physical education instructor.
Assistant Coach JOE HALL
Former Kentucky basketeer Joe Hall of Cynthiana, who proved himself a successful coach for nine years, joined the cage staff of Adolph Rupp in 1965. The new Wildcat aide transferred from Central Missouri State College, where he was head coach during the 1964-65 season and posted a 19-6 record enroute to guiding his team to the school's first NIAA Conference championship since 1951. A guard on Coach Rupp's 1949 UK team, Hall entered coaching upon his graduation in 1955. He spent three years at Shephardsville High, twice achieving conference "Coach of the Year" honors, and then moved into collegiate ranks at Regis College. After one season as freshman coach, Joe was elevated to head coach and for five years posted successful records. The 38-year-old Kentuckian also coached the Capital Federal Denver team in the AAU Tournament and later was honored by selection as head coach of the AAU Stripes in the Olympic Trials. Hall is given much credit by Coach Rupp for his success in recruiting outstanding freshman teams of the past two seasons.
