The University of Kentucky
I,OC.—\'I`lON—I,cxington, Ky., a community of about 75,000 in the
heart of Kentucky's famed Bluegrass region. City is thoroughbred
horse breeding center of America, largest loose-leaf tobacco market
` in the world, located about 80 miles east of Louisville and 85 miles
south of Cincinnati, Ohio.

EQU IPM ENT M ANAGER—Harvey Brown
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC REL.\TIONS—Raymon—2 record surprised even the
most optimistic observers. The only losses were to the three teams who `
finished Hrst, second, and fourth in the conference race.
1 An eve11 greater surprise was in store for the football world in 1949.
A The fourth chapter in the Bryant story at Kentucky proved a brilliant
` one as the youthful·mentor’s charges accomplished goals no other Ken— '
~ tucky team had managed to attain in the school's 61—year football
i history—finisl1ed second in the conference race and participated in a
, major post-season bowl game.
* Prior to the Bryant era, tl1e \Vildcats gained seventh place in tl1e
i conference standings twice to mark their best efforts in 58 SEC games  
over a 12-year period. Under Bryant, the fast-rising Cats took just four .
( seasons and 20 conference tilts to finish breathing down the neck of
the league leader and accept an invitation to perform in the Orange
Bowl. The 1949 record, prior to the close decision (13-21) lost to Santa
i Clara in the bowl, was marred by only two defeats — Southern Methodist .
[ (7-20) and Tennessee (0-6) —- in an eleven-game regular season.
Professional a11d collegiate clubs alike have tried to lure the amazingly
successful, 36-year-old mentor into lusher fields, but Paul Bryant chooses
to remain at the challenging job of building Kentucky football into
‘ "big-time" prominence.
