Adolph Rupp
Head Coach 3
Adolph Frederick Rupp has many nick-, l
names — "The Baron", “The Man in the V
, Brown Suit," etc. -— but perhaps the most .
fitting is "Mr. Basketball."
Perhaps no man who ever lived has meant A
more to the roundball sport than Kentucky’s l
Adolph Rupp. When you travel through the t
South and see great arenas where basketball is i
played, you can say —- and you’ll be l00 per y
cent right — "Adolph Rupp is responsible for j
that building," l
And why is that statement correct? Well, ,
Rupp’s raiders have gone through the South y
so often and rocked basketball teams so fre-
quently that the alumni got tired of losing to i
Kentucky and to Rupp. "I,et’s do something y
about it," they said. And so basketball rapidly l
·bl0ssomed throughout the South . . . just as l
have magnificent buildings where basketball
. .=,=,»,,, is played. l
· Therefore, never let it be said that anyone il
has meant more to basketball - especially in
thc South-than Adolph Rupp. He is to basket- A
ball what Babe Ruth was to baseball. "The '
Bambino" saved baseball; Adolph Rupp has
saved basketball.
He is the nation’s winningest coach — both
in the number of victories and in percentage.
His Kentucky Wildcats have registered 705
victories in the 34 years under Rupp. And by
5 l
losing only 140, it gives Rupp-coached teams
an unbelievable .834 average.
A Rupp twice has been national "Coach-of-the-
Year." He was co—coach ol the U.S. team in the l
. 1948 Olympics . . he produced more Olympic l
. goal medal winners (7) than any other cage ,
coach . . He has registered an all-time record l
' of 21 Southeastern Conference championships 1
. . He was elected to the Helms Hall of Fame
_ in 1946 and to the Naismith Hall of Fame in V
g 1959 . . He twice was elected an honorary
g citizen of the City of New Orleans . . His
Wildcat teams have won five Sugar Bowl
· championships, an NIT title and a record four
NCAA crowns plus seven triumphs in the 11
, University of Kentucky Invitational Tourna-
g ments.
Kentuckians are mighty proud of Adolph
` Rupp and what he has meant to our state.

The second biggest Kentucky YV1ldcat bask- li
etballer is john Adams, a 6-6% senior center
from Rising Sun, Ind. A great deal of Ken- l
tucky’s success rests on Adams' shoulders. It
isn’t a secret that basketball teams these days yi
need a big man. Adams isn’t a big man, as
' 11
many college centers go, but il` he can con-
tinue to play in the manner that he closed out
the l96?>-64 campaign, he could take a lot of li
pressure off some of the other UKats.
Adams hasn`t been a high scorer since his
' freshman year, when he averaged l6.6 points
a game. As a high schooler, "Big _]ohn" ave—
raged 2l points and 22 rebounds a game.
“Big _]ohn” played in I6 of Kentucky’s 2`7
games last year and hauled down 28 rebounds
and scored 31 points. His best game was
against Loyola of Chicago, against whom he
scored nine points. il

\/Vhen the final tabulation was made among
lndiana high school scorers two years ago, at *
i the top of the list was: Brad Bounds, Bluffton ,
, High, 28.4 point average.
The 6»5 V2 sophomore center is a good shoot-
er from the outside, which is unusual for a
I person his size. A native of Detroit, Bounds l
i was All-Conference at BluFfton three straight 1
Q years and scored 1,666 points in 73 games for
Q a career average of 28.8 points a game.
‘ ?
Proving his ability to hit from outside, l
Bounds posted a #17 per cent accuracy rating
in field goals and hit 88 per cent of his free- 1
throw attempts. yl
Because of the color of his hair, Bounds ii
reminds fans of Cotton Nash, the three-time ‘
l All-American who was graduated in june. 1
l And when Bounds reported for the first day Q
g of practice, he was wearing No. M W the same \°
number that Nash had worn for three seasons.

One of the leading basketballers in the
Southeastern Conference this season will be if
V Larry Conley, a popular fellow who is expee-
ted to be one of the top cagers in the nation i;
before he is graduated. Larry is a 6-3% junior
forward from Ashland, who first made fame as Q;
a center on Ashland High’s state championship ij
team in l96l. g
Conley started just about every game the
UKats played last season, although he came in
as a reserve in the opening game. He was the
__ third—leading scorer on last year’s club and is
expected to be the leading point producer on j
the current crop of cage Cats. il
Larry was an All—Ameriea high school eager
at Ashland and his father, George Conley, ‘
= formerly coached at Ashland and now is re- E
garded as one of the top basketball officials in
the nation. i
Although Conley is listed as a forward, he l
can play all three positions. He did in high j
school and scored I,475 points.
Larry was third last year in rebounds, with j
IG2, and in scoring, with 33l—an average of I
l2.2 points a game. His best offensive output j
was against Florida, when he pitched in 20
points.

lf Louie Dampier lives up to expectations,
he’s going to be a fan-favorite before his play- QE
{ ing days are over. The 6-foot sophomore from
Southport, Ind., was a tremendous high school-
~ er and was sought by several leading universi— Q
ties throughout the country.
When the Olympic basketball squads were
F practicing in Lexington, Dampier filled in ji
when one of the players was injured. “Louie l
the Great" was so impressive that the Olympic i
coach tried to persuade officials to permit the g
adding of Dampier to the Olympic squad-one
Of. [bij gI`C21[CS[ lQI"lbl1f€S [hilt CHU be glV€l'l to
' anyone—especially to a fellow who was a col»
lege freshman at the time. g
The guard shattered a sectional tournament
‘ four—game record which was set by Oscar g
Robertson, when “Big O" was playing at Q
Indianapolis Attucks. Dampier was president
of his senior class and is a very good student
in the classroom. He had a tremendous year as E
a freshman and big things are expected of him
in college.

The smallest eager on the Kentucky roster is
5-ll Randy Embry, a senior guard from Owens-
boro. But he plays a lot like l1is former high
school coach, Bobby X/Vatson, wl1o was a fan-
pleasing guard for the UKats. Embry makes
up in hustle and desire what he lacks in height.
The "Little Man" — as Coach Adolph Rupp
calls him — played i11 24 of Kentucky’s 27
games last season and was the l`il’th scorer with
an average of 7.2 points a game. And he also
hauled down 53 rebounds, despite his size. l
He is a quarterback-type guard. Passes well
' and directs traflic like the veteran that he is.
He’s typical of the good little men who have
often been a vital cog in Kentucky machinery 2
V. that ground out some of the school’s best
basketball records. He has good speed, is an
elusive dribbler and a longrange bomber. His §
best offensive game as a sophomore was a l2»
point output against Tennessee and his best 1
night last year was a 20—point production
against Tulane.

J
One of the tearn’s fastest cagers is Ron Ken-
nett, a 6-foot senior guard from Lawrence-
burg, Ind. He is an excellent shot and hopes y
to see considerable action this season. 3
While a high schooler in the Hoosier state,
Kennett was regarded as one of Indiana’s best i
playmakers, and he was a basketball standout
when the basketball campaign ended f just
.. as he was for the Kentucky baseballers last
spring.
K€HH€{l’S top offensive performance last
season was four points against Tulane and he
scored only one other point while seeing action g
in five games.
He is a good "feeder" and could work into
Kentucky’s plans as a good spot player.

The fellow who made the "point" defense
go last year for Kentucky was 6-5 V2 Tommy 1
Kron, the tallest guard Kentucky has ever had.
Kron hails from Owensboro now, although he
played his high school basketball at Tell City,
Indiana. i
1
Fans never will forget his performance 1
against the Tennessee freshmen in 1963. He
put on a onernan show out of necessity as 1
ineligibility had sidelined three other scholar-
ship starters. When teammate Larry Lentz
fouled out with three minutes to go, Kron had
to hold the fort with three "students." He
personally controlled the ball most of the time {
and finished up with 18 points. He averaged
_ 16.6 points as a freshman and was the sixth- 1
X 1CZlC11l'1g SCOYCT ()1'1 [116 V2\1”S1[y 21S 21 SOp11OH1OI"€ y
last year with 138 points. He also grabbed 92
rebounds, filth highest on the team.
It appears that Kron excells against Ten-
nessee. In addition to 18 against the Baby Vols e
as a freshman, "Tom the Bomb" scored 17 for 4
1115 top Flight 21g2i1I1St Tennessee 12151 SCZISOI1.

HARRODSBURG A
Terry Mobley has been forced to overcome
various and sundry injuries during the past i
few months. First, he suffered a knee injury y
while playing with the "Victory for Christ" i
program in the Far East. Physicians there said
that Mobley had suffered a fractured knee cap l
and he was returned to the United States. It l
was learned that the knee cap was not frac-
tured.
Then a few days before the practice season ‘T
opened, Mobley was engaged in an informal i
practice and a teammate struck him in the eye .
while going for a loose ball and Mobley had
to undergo an operation.
The 6·3 senior guard from Harrodsburg was
the team’s fourth leading scorer and rebounder 2
last season. He tallied 255 points and grabbed {
off 140 rebounds and his best games were <
- against North Carolina and Loyola of Chicago
l —he scored 2l against each.
Mobley, who played under former UK All- g
America Aggie Sale at Harrodsburg High, is l
particularly impressive with his poise under ,
pressure. Proving this, he hit a free throw `
against Duke to win the Sugar Bowl title on `

SCHENECTADY, N.Y.
To play basketball or football in college?
That was the big question which confronted i
Pat Riley, as the 6-3% all-sports standout from
Schenectady, N.Y., faced when it came time
to enroll in college. He was an All—America
high schooler in basketball! He was an All- I
America quarterback in football.
He is the No. 2 point-producer in Schenec- {
tady's history, missing by only four points of
equaling the record set by Barry Kramer, who I
later rnade All~AII1€I`l(ZH honors at New York
University. And it was Kramer who played a
big role in Riley’s coming to Kentucky. Kram-
er reportedly told Pat, “Don't make the same
mistake I did. I have wished a lO() times that
I had gone to Kentucky to play for Coach j
Rupp. Don’t you go some place else and then "
start wishing that you had gone to Kentucky.
Go there and don’t consider any other school." .
About 85 colleges and universities beat a
path to Riley’s door, but Coach Rupp person I
ally signed the sturdily built sports standout.

BROOKVILLE, IND.
The leading scorer o'n his high school team
at Brookville, Ind., Gene Stewart is expected
` to help the Kentucky \Vildcats considerably
before he is graduated. i
The 6-2 forward led his prep team three
straight years in scoring although on numerous
occasions he was double and triple-teammed
by the opposition.
Few athletes ever equal the record estab-
lished by Stewart as a high schooler. He was
captain in four sports and is one of the very "
few persons ever to achieve that distinction.
Stewart shows a lot of promise and is heavily
counted upon in the UKat cage plans.
