CLIFF HAGAN Q 
Director of Athletics , 
I  
Progress and excitement have marked Cliff Hagan's first two years as director _ 
of athletics at the University of Kentucky, and football has been a major part of W
the overall success of his program. `
Two of his personal "high peaks" last year were possession of the beer barrel j
and the Peach Bowl trophy, respectively, after the Wildcats defeated Tennessee ;
l at Knoxville and North Carolina at Atlanta. ‘
The beer barrel, symbol of rivalry between the Wildcats and Volunteers, had · 
been in Knoxville since about 1965; and Kentucky had not received a bid to a ~;
post-season classic since the 1952 Cotton Bowl. A
Other high peaks in football were an 8-4 record, the Wildcats' best in 25 ,
years, and a record-breaking attendance of 393,483 at seven home games in .
‘ Commonwealth Stadium.  
{ Elsewhere on the UK sports scene, the basketball Wildcats, coming off a · 
1976 NIT championship, were conference co-champions and advanced to the _f 
" finals of the Eastern Regionals. ,
During the regular season, they played before 312,527 fans in 14 home  
games in the new Rupp Arena. The move into the arena complemented the Z
football team's move into Commonwealth Stadium during Hagan's first year as ; 
assistant AD and gave the University two of the nation’s finest facilities in which . 
to display its major sports teams. T 
Prior to the football team's move into the new stadium, Hagan created and `
implemented the Blue & White Fund, which he also set up for Rupp Arena. I
Through the fund, the University has received more than a million dollars in Q
N l

§

 · contributions to keep the program operating in the black by carrying the burden
¥ of its grants-in-aid.
* One of Hagan's primary aims since becoming AD has been to upgrade the
P Wildcat athletic facilities. Recent improvements include a new baseball pressbox,
1 re-sodding of the Commonwealth Stadium field, beginning of construction of a
new basketball house, completion of a 110-yard Astro-Turf practice field in the
Shively Sports Center complex, installation of open-air type lockers in the
T dressing rooms, and a planned expansion of the main building, with the size of
' training and conditioning rooms to be increased.
i A modernizing of offices in Memorial Coliseum is currently under way, and
2 Hagan looks to the day when he can put on the drawing board an Olympic
. swimming pool and a field house, which he says are "desperateIy needed for our
_ program and our students."
In his strong dedication to the scholar-athlete, Hagan continues to give
V  support and emphasis to the academic program. "l feel a genuine commitment
’ to provide all the academic support and encouragement we can to help our
{ athletes leave our campus with an education and a degree," he said.
 `· Hagan joined the Wildcat athletics staff as assistant to Harry Lancaster, with
  varied administrative duties, including creation and implementation of the Blue
  & White Fund for the then-new Commonwealth Stadium. He was named
f director of athletics in July 1975, while Lancaster, whose retirement was not
effective until February of 1976, remained as a special assistant to Hagan.
A  Hagan’s path to the athletics directorship began at Owensboro, Kentucky,
j where he established a then state high school tournament record of 41 points in
Q leading Owensboro to victory over Lafayette in the championship game of the
*, 1949 state high school tournament.
( At UK, he played on teams that won 86 of 91 games and an NCAA
  championship (1951). The 1954 team, undefeated in 25 games, elected not to
[T participate in the national tournament.
V Hagan set a dozen Southeastern Conference records and an NCAA record of
528 rebounds as a junior. He averaged 24 points a game, led the nation in
‘ rebounding, and scored a UK record of 51 points against Temple in 1954.
He was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity, Student Government, Baptist
1 Student Union, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and twice was selected among
the top ten students in the College of Education.
j After graduating from UK in 1954, Hagan served two years at Andrews Air
Force Base, Washington, D. C., as a commissioned officer. He led the base to two
World Wide Air Force championships and won All-Service honors both years.
° During ten years with the St. Louis Hawks, he ranked high among 11 players
‘ on the league scoring charts with 12,433 points in 672 games for an 18.5 mark
_ and was selected to play in five East-West All-Star games and was named to the
i NBA second All-League team twice. He hit over .790 from the free throw line
  seven years in a row and held the NBA record for most field goals scored in a
· single quarter (12).
1 The Hawks won the Western Division six times during Hagan's playing career
Q there and defeated the Boston Celtics in 1958 for the world championship.
. Hagan was All-Pro in the NBA in 1957-62, inclusive.
l He received his M.S. in education from Washington University in 1958.
( ln 1965, a Herbert Hoover Boys Club of America was organized in Owens-
  boro and named the Cliff Hagan Boys Club of America.

   `
I During his 11th year in St. Louis, Hagan did radio and television commentary =
t for the Hawks’ basketball team and for Anheuser Busch. »
Z He then joined the Dallas Chapparals as player-coach and was selected as the  
I 1958 Texas Professional Coach of the Year. When he left Dallas, he was only 92 Q 
a points shy of a regular-season career total of 15,000 points. _
In 1974, he was named to the Hall of Fame Magazine’s All-America l
` second·team for the 1951-1973 period, to the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel Star's -'
2 All—Time Southeastern Conference first team, and the All-Time top collegiate  
` player in the State of Kentucky by Inside Kentucky Sports Magazine. In 1975, {
he was named to the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, was inducted into the UK  
Alumni Association Hall of Distinguished Alumni and was a recipient of the I
University of Kentucky Centennial "K" Medallion tendered by the UKAA for ;:
past athletic accomplishments, during UK’s Centennial Year observance. j 
He is married to the former Martha Milton of Owensboro. They have four Q 
. children: Lisa, Laurie, Amy, and Kip. ,-

 i 1977 FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
  Fran Curci is seeking to fill several spots on offense while the defense
Y  returns pretty well intact as the Peach Bowl champion Wildcats prepare for
· another challenging year.
 .» Hardest hit by graduation was the offensive line, which lost All-American
Z tackle Warren Bryant, guards Steve Slates and Ed Smolder, split end Randy
  Burke and tight end Charlie Dickerson.
  Bryant, a four-year starter, was drafted No. 6 in the first round of the NFL
 :4 draft by Atlanta. Burke, who was the team's leading receiver, tied a Senior Bowl
` record of 11 receptions and was drafted in the first round by Baltimore.
 ? Greg Woods, an outstanding blocker who switched to offense after three
,  years in the defensive backfield, also played out his eligibility and has cast his lot
{  with_ Ottawa of the Canadian Football League.
gl  On the bright side, Rod Stewart is coming off a fine sophomore season in
P  which he gained 711 yards in 146 carries, scored five touchdowns rushing and
— caught six passes for 50 yards and tied a Peach Bowl record with three
ij touchdowns scored.
  Returning in the backfield with the hard-running fullback are quarterback
  Derrick Ramsey, Chris Hill, Randy Brooks, Joe Dipre, Chuck Servino, Robert
  Hawkins and Freddie Williams.
Q Pete Gemmill, who backed up Woods and was the team's No. 1 punter (48
{ for 1,847 yards--38.5 avg.) will be replaced in the kicking department by Rick
Hayden, who punted 22 times for 700 yards, a 36.3 avg., last year.
Joe Bryant, who kicked off last season, is expected to step into the shoes of
John .Pierce, who holds UK records in career extra points attempted (68) and
- scored (61) and field goals attempted (56) and scored (24) and points by a
E kicker (133).
i Cornerback Ray Carr is the only starter lost from a defensive unit that held
  North Carolina to 108 yards net (84 rushing, 24 passing) in the Peach Bowl.
  Returning at linebacker are starters Jim Kovach, MVP-Defense in the regionally
Q televised game against Maryland at College Park; Mike Martin, who was MVP-
3 Defense in the Peach Bowl, and Kelly Kirchbaum, along with front line substi-
  tutes Dave Fadrowski and Carl Marrillia.
  Art Still, a candidate for all-star honors on the national level, returns after
  playing both defensive end and tight end last season. At the other end are Bud
2 Diehl and David "Tuffskin" Stephens, who had their turns as starters last year.
  Noseguard Jerry Blanton and tackles Bob Winkel and James Ramey are also
  returning starters.
  The secondary features such proven performers as Mike Siganos, who holds
  the UK career record (72) for punts returned, and Rick Hayden, who tied for
( the conference lead in interceptions (5). Hayden also intercepted two passes in
l the Peach Bowl.
  Dallas Owens, whose two interceptions included a 56-yard TD return that
i turned the tide against LSU, will be back for his final year.
  In summation, the Wildcats seem strong overall on defense, with Siganos,
  Still, Martin, Kovach, Ramey, Winkel and Blanton among all-star possibilities.
