The Stoll Field press box, re—bt1ilt entirely during 1949-50 at a cost
~ of more than $30.000, is believed to be one of the Hnest in the country. 1
Constructed in two decks, the box has a two-level lower deck that is l
enclosed with heat-resisting, glare—reducing plate glass to increase y
visibility of the field for the working press and an upper deck par-
titioned olf into 14 open-front booths for radio stations and newsreels.
_ Also located on the upper deck, at each end, are unique press—radio
lounges—large. glass-enclosed rooms where writers, sportscasters and
photographers may congregate.

 i The Outlook For l95l
l When Paul Bryant took over the reins of the Kentucky football
\’Vildcats five years ago, he calmly proclaimed to sportswriters assembled
at his first press conference two hihly significant aims for his tutoring
administration.
First off, he declared in a language appropriate to the Bluegrass
horse country that he was "not interested in place or show."
Secondly, he said in effect that to produce a winner and a football
"name" with national prestige for Kentucky would take five years.
That the "five year plan" proved amazingly successful and even
more amazingly an accurate timetable of the VVildcats’ climb up the
national football ladder is attested by the history of the 1950 season that
saw Kentucky reach climactic heights in annexing a Sugar Bowl cham-
pionship at the expense of the nation’s number one ranking team-
Oklahoma.
Toda Y, a wiser and more ex ierienced Br rant can’t be iinned down
l , . . .l l * .
to such accuracy in his predictions on the prospects of the l95l version
of the gridiron X·Vildcats. But he hgures to start a new “hve year plan"
and hopes for a stepped up production of winning teams.
The possibilities of taking up where he left off New Year's l)ay
and tutoring another bowl team of the same or better calibre are
pretty remote for ’5l, according to the man who should know.
Faced with what is unqualihedly termed one of the toughest sched-
ules ever handicapped for a Kentucky eleven and a squad virtually
riddled by graduation of key men. Coach Bryant fears that 1951 will
be a long. hard winter of re-building a- solid foundation for future
progress.
lientucky`s 1951 team will be the most inexperienced. weakest in
reserves of any team fielded by Coach Bryant since his entry on the
Bluegrass scene five years ago.
Nineteen lettermen, 13 of whom started the Sugar Bowl game on
either offense or defense, will be missing from the lineup during the
coming season and only five of the 17 lettermen returning were starters
in the post-season scrap.
7

 The \iVildcats appear destined to be only a shadow of their former
defensive selves, far weaker than the standards set by the 1949 and
l95() Kentucky teams which ranked as the number one and runner-up
units in the nation in the all·arouncl defense department.
, Big gaps in the line have been produced by the graduation loss
of such outstanding performers as All-America tackle Bob Cain; \Valt
Yowarsky, tackle voted the most valuable player of the Sugar Bowl V
game; Pat james and Bill‘\V2l1l11ZlIl12ll{€I", considered two of the best
defensive guards in the South; and regular ends Al Bruno, Charlie
l\/1cClendon and Benny Zaranka. Only two offensive and two defensive
starters oll the Sugar Bowl squad return to take over their regular
positions in the forward wall—guards Gene Donaldson and john
lgnarski, tackle _]im Mackenzie and center-linebacker Doug Moseley.
The secondary also will be particularly weak in both first line and
reserve personnel.
Despite glaring weaknesses, one good defensive unit undoubtedly
t can be fielded by the \Vildcats but they will he dehnitely handicapped
` by the necessity of doing double duty as the llllII1l)CI` one offensive outfit
as well. The outlook for suflicient capable personnel to operate a two—
platoon system appears very dim.
_ On the brighter side of tl1e ledger, the team shapes up as having
very fine leadership from within the squad in the persons of returning
Sugar Bowl veterans. They appear to be ambitious and have the right
 ` spirit and if the younger boys get the same spirit quick enough the
; situation should be right to win some ball games. Besides the prospect
_ of good leadership, the 1951 Kentucky team will have an extremely
dangerous passing attack led by All—America quarterback Babe Parilli,
back for his final season. Bryant's also hoping for a slightly improved
running game, but the personnel which will carry most of the burden
is a big question mark. Bruising Bill Leskovar, first string fullback last
year, is back, along with halfbacks Emery Clark and Ed Hamilton,
neither of whom played first string on offense last season.
Freshmen will be eligible for varsity competition this year due to a
relaxed Southeastern Conference ruling, but Coach Bryant puts his \
lack of faith in any appreciable help from the yearlings in these words:
` "1f anybody’s really helped by freshmen this year, 1 just hope we play
· that team."
The big question mark in the \lVildcats' plans for ’51 seems to
be whether a top flight offense can offset a woefully weak defense.
ln other words, will the military strategy axiom of "The best defense
is a strong offense" hold true on the gridiron as it sometimes does on
the battlefield.

 The Bryant Story
`
A y _' ( Coach 1’aul ( B e a r ) Bryant has
_  ¤Y   »*,/ "/Q; taught Kentucky footballers and fans
ff' jj; _;__ .. 1 .   how the other half lives and they love
.  V  V    l, if   it-
`   Q   ,   For years, Kentucky spent the ma-
    _   jority of its Saturday afternoons get-
4       _ ting its collective gridiron teeth kicked
  :..   Wi t   » in. Like being slugged repeatedly on
      the head with a sledge hammer. this
    ya  was not regarded as morale building.
    111 1946, Bryant gave up the reins
  ___,  , Z,      .___   at the University of I\t1aryland and ac-
N V_.· ·  y ·     cepted a fiye-year contract at Kentucky.
  '  ,,     He explained at the time that it
V-  _ »,»;   would take that amount of time to
   Q ''V. “  ;·V   get the Wildcats oil the floor. shake the
·A        cobwebs from their respective heads
J A     v*'iii`4i`iA' V   and start them moving up the national `
grid ladder —— an assignment few young mentors would have cared to
risk their futures on.
Last year was the Hnal chapter of Bryant’s "l*ive—Year Plan" and
at the season’s end the VVildcats capped a sensational climb to fame by
smacking down the nation’s number-one—ranked team, the Oklahoma
Sooners, 13 to 7, in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans.
The 1950 Bryant edition won ll and lost only one in anuexing the
first Southeastern Conference football title ever won by the school- Over
the Hve»year period, the Cats won 40, lost 13 and tied two; appeared
in three bowl games (Great Lakes Bowl, 1947; Orange Bowl, 1950;
and Sugar Bowl, 1951) and won two of them.
A record of two victories and eight pastings was the best Kentucky
could do in 1945, which was one year B.B. (Before Bryant). The next
season, Bear rewrote the script and the Cats stunned C\'C1`y()11C by
winning seven and dropping three. The l*\’ildcats felt something like
an elephant in a bird cage with this overnight success—their best
season record in football since 1912.
But they began to get used to the feeling. In 1947, Bryant`s, charges
copped eight and again dropped a trio of tilts. Recognition of their
"dark horse" rise to national prominence came as they accepted a bid
to perform in the inaugural Great Lakes Bowl game at Cleveland in
December, 1947, and defeated Villanova 24 to 14. The game marked
Kentucky’s Hrst post-season bowl appearance.
Hit hard by graduation, Kentucky still managed to stay on the
winning side of the ledger in 1948 with a mark of five victories, three
setbacks and two ties which kept intact the Bryant record of never
having lost more than three games in a single season.
9

 A new surprise was in store for the football world in the next
year as the 1949 club won nine and dropped only three, including a
21-13 loss to Santa Clara in the Orange Bowl at Miami, while playing
what was considered at the time to be the sc11ool’s most difficult
schedule. Bryant's charges also finished breathing down the neck of
the league leader in the con ference race, second by a scant 33 percentage
points.
The fourth chapter in the Bryant story at Kentucky proved a
brilliant one. His team had accomplished goals which no other UK
grid aggregation had managed to attain in the sch0o1's 61—year foot-
ball history—f1nish second in the SEC and participate in a major
postseason bowl game. Prior to the Bryant era, the Wildcats gained
seventh place in the Conference standings twice to mark their best _
efforts in 58 SEC games over a 12-year period.
At the close of Bryant’s first season with UK, school officials were
so pleased with his accomplishments that they tore up his original
Eve-year pact and replaced it with a then—unique, 10-year agreement.
‘ After Kentucky’s Sugar Bowl victory, UK officials again voted confi-·
Q dence in the youthful mentor by tossing out his 10-year contract-
which still had five seasons to run —and replacing it with an unprece-
dented 12-year pact extending through the 1962 season.
Before coming to Kentucky in 1946, Bryant, an Alabama end from
1933-35, tutored Maryland to a 6-2-1 record in 1945 for that schoo1’s
, best mark in years. His one—season Maryland post was the first head
A coaching job he held.
r During his days at the Capstone, Bryant was Bama’s regular right
  V end and was a member of the famed Crimson Tide Rose Bowl eleven
g of 1935. The 37-year—old native of Fordyce, Arkansas, became an as-
sistant coach on Frank Thomas’ staff at Alabama following his gradua-
tion in 1936. He moved to Vanderbilt in 1939 as line coach and two
years later entered the Navy. He was discharged in 1945 as a lieutenant
commander. Following a season as head coach at Maryland in 1945,
the former Bama flankman started his carrer at Kentucky in 1946.
Professional and collegiate clubs alike have tried to lure the amazing
Mr, Bryant into lusher fields, but he has consistently chosen to remain
at the challenging task of building Kentucky football into “big-time"
prominence and keeping it there.

The Couchmg Staff
CARNEY LASLIE (Alabama '33) . . . Silver-haired Laslie has been
associated with Paul Bryant almost continuously since the days when
both were performing with Alabama’s Crimson Tide` in the early
thirties. He lettered three years (’30-’3l-’32) as a Bama tackle and star-
red on the famous Rose Bowl eleven of 1932. Following graduation in
1933, he remained at the Capstone one season as an assistant to Frank
Thomas. It was this same year that sophomore end Bryant was de-
veloping into a Tide great. Laslie became head coach at Blytheville,
Ark., High school in 1934 and enjoyed outstanding success as his teams
went undefeated for three successive seasons. In 1937, he moved to
l V.M.1. as line coach. From the Lexington, Va., military school, he
entered the Navy shortly after Pearl Harbor. He was associated with
Bryant again as both were assigned to prepare the North Carolina Pre-
Flight team for the 1945 season. Discharged in 1945 as a lieutenant
commander after three and a half years’ service, Laslie joined Bryant
as an assistant at Maryland for the ’45 season and came to Kentucky
when Bryant; was named head coach of the VVildcats in 1946.
ERMAL ALLEN (Kentucky V12) . . . One of Kentucky’s most famous
athlete graduates, Allen at 31 has had a full career as a collegiate star,
pro-football player and successful college grid coach. He starred at ·
quarterback for the VVi1dcat forces from 1939 to 1941 and entered
military service following graduation. Returning as a graduate student
after his discharge, Allen became the center of one of the Southeastern
Conferences most controversial cases when he attempted to play a
fourth year of football in 1946 and was declared ineligible after two
games. He had not played varsity ball as a freshman and was cer-
tified by the University as eligible under an interpretation of a war-
time SEC ruling allowing freshmen to compete in varsity ball and, in
effect, permitting four years of varsity competition. Allen joined the
U.K. coaching staff for the remainder of the ’46 season, spent the ’47
campaign as a T-quarterback with the professional Cleveland Browns,
then re-joined the \Vildcat staff in 1948. He became head freslnnen
A mentor in 1950 and was promoted at season's end to fill the backheld
coach vacancy. _
CLARENCE UNDERFVOOD (Marshall ’38) . . . Friends call Under-
wood by the somewhat un-respectful nickname of "Buckshot," but he
has earned high respect from players and fellow coaches, alike, since
he joined the Kentucky staff in 1948. Besides the usual duties on the
football field, he has the sometimes difficult task of keeping gridders
eligible by prodding them to tackle the daily classroom grind with the
same forcefulness demanded of them on the greensward. He had a suc-
cessful career as a high school coach at Beckley, XV. Va., from 1938-43
and served three years in the Navy as a lieutenant during \Vor1d \*Var 11.
1.].

 CHARLES McCLENDON (Kentucky ’5l) . . . Added to the coaching
staff after concluding his collegiate career with the Wildcats in the
1951 Sugar Bowl game, McClenclon gives the impression of being as
hard a worker as a coach as he was while playing defensive end from
1948-50. He made the All—SEC Sophomore team and earned two let-
` ters during his playing days. In VVorld War Il, Mac served three years
in the Navy.
PAUL DIETZEL (Miami, Ohio, U. ’47) . . . An indefatigable football
laborer, Dietzel has a background of fine play as a Little CAll-America
center at Miami U. and as a college coach. After his graduation from ‘
l Miami in 1947, he joined Sid Gillman’s staff and served with the school
until Gillman took him to VVest Point in 1948. At the Academy, he was
Plebe football and basketball coach. When Gillman moved on to Uni-
versity of Cincinnati in 1949, he took Dietzel with him as an assistant.
Kentucky called for Dietzel’s services after the 1950 season and he
joined the staff for 1951 spring practice. He was a B-29 pilot with the
  Army Air Force during World War II.
JIM OWENS (Oklahoma ’50) . . . All-America end and co—captain of
the Oklahoma Sugar Bowl team of two seasons ago, Owens joined the
  Kentucky coaching staff shortly after the Wildcats humbled the Sooners
{ in the ’51 New Orleans classic. During his playing days under Coach
