Vol. XCI. No. 84

Executive Editor

Some students may say the expe-
rience is something akin to the Bu-
bonic Plague or waiting in line four
hours for a canceled concert.

But UK advisers and professors
say that if you bring a student ID. a
couple of No. 2 pencils and a lot of
patience. tomorrow‘s centralized
add-drop is a relatively painless ex-
perience.

Centralized adddrop in Memorial
Coliseum for students who are ad»
vance registered begins at 10 tomor-
row morning and lasts until 6 pm.

And according to University Reg
istrar Randall Dahl. add-drop “looks
worse than it is.” Dahl said his only
major concern right now is the cold
weather the state is experiencing.

Established 1894

 

Students will be ad-
mitted into the col-
iseum alphabetically in
30-minute increments.

 

Still. Dahl said there are some
"golden rules" to follow that will
make the adddrop experience a
little more bearable.

Besides bringing a "cheery dispo-
sition” and patience. students should
be willing to be flexible in planning
out courses. Dahl said.

Students should always add before
they drop and have an alternative in
mind if the section or course stu-
dents want is filled. he said.

In other words. Dahl said. a little
advance planning is in order. Stu-

University of Kentucky, Lexington. Kentucky

dents should have a good idea what
they want to do before going through
add-drop.

Students will be admitted into the
coliseuni alphabetically in 30~minute
increments. Dahl said students
shouldn‘t come before their assigned
time. but may come anytime at»
terward.

For more information on add-drop
students can call the registrar‘s of-
fice at 257~7173.

Here are some other dates to re-
member:

student may ott'icially drop a course
or cancel registration with the t'iii-

Wildcats remain undefeated,
move back to the No. 1 spot

By TODD JONES
Sports Editor

So. you spent the Holiday break
lounging on the couch and vegetat-
ing in front of the T\' it‘s OK. The
rest of the UK students probably did
the same. Well. everybody but the
Kentucky basketball players.

A few weeks out of the classroom
was anything but a break for the
Wildcats. They were too busy in the
gym. Don‘tbelieve me. . .

A last second tipir. 1‘? point
blowout. a UKIT championship.
comeback victories. basket by Da-
vender. Christmas dinner at Coach
Eddie Sutton‘s house. a car crash on
the way home from Sutton's house.
national television. an MVP for
Winston Bennett. a missed curfew
because of Clint Eastwood. basket
by Chapman. a rise to the top of the
polls. a drop in the poll. a 24-second
explosion. a sprained ankle. basket
by Davender. Sutton's 100th coach~
ing victory. a zone defense. basket
by Chapman. a hockey check that is
called traveling. the reappearance
of “the phantom". a road game in
front of the home fans. basket by
Davender. and basket by Chapman.

Wait. there‘s more. First place in
the Southeastern Conference. six
victories to go SH). a No. 1 ranking in
the country —: again. basket by Da—
vender and basket by Chapman.
Some break.

Kentucky began the holiday sea»
son ranked No. 1 in the country
thanks to Vanderbilt's upset of
North Carolina. But the Cats would
soon discover that when you‘re
voted into the penthouse of college
basketball. everybody wants a shot
at you.

The fun started on Dec. 12. Denny
Crum brought his Louisville Cardi-
nals to Rupp Arena for a certain
“50-point" massacre. It was any-
thing but.

Louisville trailed by as many as 16
in the first half. and 13 at intermis-
sion. But the Cards caught fire in
the second half and hit 643 percent
of their shots. When center Pervis
Ellison swished a jumper in the final
minute of play. Louisville led 76-75.
But Cedric Jenkins swooped in to
save theday.

With the final seconds ticking
away. Ed Davender misfired on a
jumper from the baseline. Rob Lock
batted the rebound. Jenkins swatted
it and Jenkins tipped it again. The
final tip fell and so did the Cardi-
nals. 76-75.

“The ball just bounced funny."
Louisville forward Herbert Crook
said. "I {ouched it but Cedric tipped
it with those long arms.“

The University of Kentucky lnvi-
tational Tournament. or better
known as lnvite Some Patsies and
Beat the Tar Out of Them. came
next. ()nly this tournament was as
funny as the dancing basketball that
dropped against the Cardinals.

Miami of Ohio was supposed to be
the first sacrificial lamb for L'K.
They had steel wool. 'l‘he visiting
Redskins hung tough for 31 minutes
but withered down the stretch and
fell. 85-71. Bennett led everyone with
28 points and 10 rebounds.

The finals against North Carolina-
Charlotte was also supposed to be a
laugher. But like Miami. the 49ers
would not roll over and die. (‘har-
lotte fired in to of 15 three-point
jumpers. led by guard Byron Din:
kins' six treys.

”I have never seen three-point
shooting like that.” Sutton said. “i
kept saying golly. when are they
going to miss?"

With eleven seconds left. UK was
clinging to an 82-81 lead. The 49ers
inbounded the ball to Dinkins as he
streaked toward the hoop. He nearly
streaked into the front row. Travel-
ling. Was he pushed?

“We're not pleased with the call."
Charlotte coach Jeff Mullins said.
“Byron doesn‘t walk. Rob Lock
walks."

The call stayed and UK had its
27th UKlT title. Bennett was the
Most Valuable Player and Davender
and Chaman joined him on the All-
Tournament team.

The close victories caused the

Wildcats to tumble out of the top of
the polls. Arizona took over No. 1.

Freshman center Leiton Ellis
jumped and landed wrong during
practice on Christmas Eve. Ellis
badly sprained his left ankle. “my
good one." he said. It did no good
for the next couple of weeks Ellis
didn't play the rest of the break.

While returning home from
Christmas dinner at Siitton‘s home
in Jessamine County. Madison and
Eric Manuel wert lll\\ll\'0ti in a car
accident. Both were taken to the
hospital and released the next day
with bumps and bruises. Both re-
turned to the court. but not before
misstng the Alaska game. They
didn‘t miss much.

l‘K baked Alaska. loo-58 It could
have been worse. Bennett led the
scoring again with 24 points. Chap—
man added 19 and Davender 15.

Kentucky opened SEC play with a
tit-74 victory over Vanderbilt at
Rupp Arena. But it didn't come
without a struggle. The Commo-
dores led 65-56 with eight minutes to
play and 65450 with 4:47 on the clock.
But then BOOM!

UK used a suffocating press to rip
off seven consecutive points in 24
seconds to take the lead. Vandy was
shell-shocked and never recovered.
The Cats survived thanks to 15
points from the backcourt of Da-
vender and Chapman.

“We didn‘t play very well to-
night." Sutton said after the Vandy
game. “But we found a way to win.
That's a great quality in a ball club.
You win league championships by
winning when you don‘t play very
well.“

You also win league
championships by starting off on the
right foot. And that's what UK did
with a 84-77 victory over Georgia at
The Umni in Atlanta.

Davender and Chapman again did
the major damage. combining for 48
points. But it was a Wildcat zone de—
fense — yes. a zone W that was the
key. It was a reversal from the pre-
vious year when Georgia defeated
l'K twice with a zone.

“We didn't beat this team." Bull~
dog coach Hugh Durham said. “We
beat a team with ‘Kentucky'
stitched across the jersey. This is an
entirely different team."

And a team that is once again
ranked No. 1 in the country. Ken—
tucky was back in the penthouse
when Arizona fell to New Mexico. It
was that kind of break.
