 THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
. . . The State Is Our Campus
Located in Lexington, an urban community of over 140,000 population in
` the heart of Kentucky's famed Blue Grass region, University of Kentucky is a
state—supported, land-grant institution now celebrating its centennial year.
The present school, which this fall expects 15,000 students and now offers
instruction in 10 academic colleges plus a Graduate School and a division of
Extended Programs, had its beginnings in 1865
when it was established as a part of old Kentucky
University. This action by the State Legislature
united sectarian and public education under one
organization for the first time. Federal funds au-
thorized under the Morrill Act were used to de-
velop agriculture and mechanical arts within KU
and, in 1878, A&M College was separated from
KU to become a separate state institution on the
general site of what is now the 706—acre main cam-
pus. Name changes in 1908 and 1916 resulted in
the title by which the school is now known.
The University is on the approved list of the
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It
is fully accredited in its respective colleges and de-
partments by all of the major professional societies
and educational organizations.
A new chief administrative officer, Dr. john W.
· Centennial Device Oswald, took over reins of the University at the
beginning of the 1963-64 school year.
Dr. Oswald, at the age of only 48 years, came to his position at Kentucky
well-equipped in academic training and administrative experience plus an
unusual (for a college president) background as both player and coach during
his collegiate days. The UK president picked up his bachelor’s degree from
DePauw University and was awarded the Ph.D. degree by University of Cali-
fornia, the institution from which he transferred to Kentucky. At California,
john Oswald held many academic and administrative positions, rising to the
post of vice-president—administration for the Statewide University. The special
field of the UK president is plant pathology. His athletic background that now
stands him in good stead came while he attended DePauw. There he played the
grid sport for three years, served as team captain in his senior season of 1937,
and lettered as well in basketball and track. Later, while associated with Cali-
fornia, the Phi Beta Kappa graduate and former PT boat skipper tried his hand
three years (1949-50-51) as a football coach (by avocation) of the Davis campus
team. Dr. Oswald was honored in 1962 by selection on the Sports Illustrated
Silver Anniversary All-America football team.

 ATHLETICS AT KENTUCKY
Kentucky's athletic program, a well-balanced and ambitious activity featur-
ing inter-collegiate competition in nine different sports, is organized under the
Department of Athletics and a corporation known as the University of Kentucky
Athletics Association.
The program is conducted without overemphasis or sacrifice of educational
objectives and in strict compliance with the rules of the University, the South-
eastern Conference and the National Collegiate Association.
A board of directors, headed by University President john W. Oswald in
the capacity of chairman, maintains overall policy supervision of the athletic
program. Ex-officio members, in addition to the president, include Vice Presi-
dent Robert johnson, Dr. W. L. Matthews in the capacity of secretary to the
board, and a student representative—all appointed by the president. Twelve
other men, drawn from the University faculty and the general public, also serve
on the board as appointees of the president.
Supervising the steady growth and balanced development of one of the
nation’s top athletic programs is Bernie A. Shively, a former Illinois grid All-
American and a veteran of over 25 years in the post of Director of Athletics.
The Association's Board of Directors is composed of the following:
Dr. john W, Oswald, Chairman Dr. john Douglas
Robert johnson, Vice Chairman Dr. Lyman Ginger
Dr.- W. L. Matthews, jr., Secretary Dr. A. D. Kirwan
james B. Allen Winston Miller (Student)
Dr. Ralph Angelucci Douglas Parrish `
Dr. Aubrey Brown Dr. Douglas Schwartz L
Dr. Loren Carlson Dr. D. V. Terrell  
Dr. Thomas Clark Floyd Wright i  
KENTUCKY'S COLORS
The blue and white of the University of Kentucky are known to sports fans
everywhere. Officially the colors are Yale blue and white, but in the beginning,
when the Lexington institution was still known as the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Kentucky, the colors were "Stoll blue" and white. One day
back in the l890’s a group of Kentucky football stalwarts met to choose their
school colors. Someone suggested blue and white—"blue like Dick Stoll’s neck-
tie"—and those colors were immediately adopted. "Dick" Stoll was to become
judge Richard C. Stoll, distinguished public servant and, for more than fifty
years before his death, a member of the U.K. board of trustees.

VICTORY KICKS
A game unique in University of Kentucky football history occurred in 1900.
Kentucky beat the Louisville YMCA, 12-6, without running a single offensive
play during the entire game. Kicking on first down every time they gained
possession of the ball, Kentucky made its scores through the recovery of oppon-
ent fumbles in the end zone, l

 PAGES OUT OF THE HISTORY BOOK
Kentucky’s first inter-collegiate football game of record occurred Nov. 12,
1881, when Kentucky A 8: M College took the measure of Kentucky University
(later Transylvania) by a score of 7% to 1 . . . One of the most illustrious
pages in UK football history covers the perfect-season exploits of the 1898 team
which became the first and only Kentucky grid outht to go undefeated, untied
and unscored on . . . Spring practice was held for the first time in UK grid
history in 1926 by Coach Fred Murphy . . . Coach E. R. Sweetland experi-
mented with a new formation at the start of the 1910 season that saw all four
backlield men lined up side by side instead of in the conventional pattern with
the quarterback directly behind center . . . One of the greatest individual per-
formances ever seen on the nation’s gridirons took place in Lexington in 1914
as Kentucky quarterback jim Park, later active in politics, passed for five TD’s
and personally scored five more in an 81-3 rout of Earlham . . . Only All-
America Babe Parilli has come close to surpassing the school record as he twice
connected for Five scoring aerials in the 1951 season . . . The "Kentucky Babe"
still holds the all-time SEC record for TD passes thrown in a single season,
accounting for 23 in regular season play in his junior year of 1950. He con-
nected for one more as the Wildcats upset Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on New
Year's Day, 1951 . . . Kentucky copped the Southeastern Conference football
championship for the first and only time in history in the 1950 season.
l BRADSHAW THIRD ALUMNUS COACH
Q Charlie Bradshaw, an alumnus of the University of Kentucky class of 1949,
  became the third graduate of the school to take over the head football coaching
i reins when he was hired january 10, 1962. The first coach with that distinction
; was j. White Guyn, tutor of the Wildcats in 1906-08, and the only other grad
I to take up duties at his alma mater was A. D. (Ab) Kirwan, coach for the sea-
, sons 1938-44.
` Like their boss, four members of the coaching staff did their collegiate
i footballing at Kentucky. The playing career of assistant George Sengel over-
lapped that of Bradshaw (player 1942, 46-49; staff '54-58) while aides George
Boone, Ray Callahan, and Leeman Bennett played when Bradshaw was on
the staff.
HONORS COME LATELY
V From its football beginnings in 1881 through 1942, Kentucky had only one
Q player named to a recognized All—America team. In the short span of years since,
E no less than nine have earned first team mention on the national honor rolls
  and four of the stars were repeaters. Twenty-one Wildcats have received All-
  Conference recognition a total of 29 times since the loop was organized in 1933.

 Supervising the steady growth and balanced development of one of the
nation's top athletic programs is the Herculean task being carried out success-
fully by Bernie A. Shively.
Few who have observed the untiring efforts of the tall, silver-haired former
All-America footballer in the service of the University of Kentucky since 1927
and as Director of Athletics since 1938 will argue his fitness as an athletic
Hercules. Not only has Shively guided the development of Kentucky as a
nationally·respected power in major sports, but he has also gained personal pres-
tige through a fair-minded approach to many problems.
During his 27-year tenure as Athletic Director, Shively has directly super-
vised major expansions in Kentucky’s athletic plant resulting from the progres-
sion of the schoo1’s football and basketball teams to greater national prominence
and increased patronage by the sports—minded public.
The seating capacity of Kentucky’s football stadium, McLean Stadium on
Stoll Field, has been doubled to bring the current number of seats to approxi-
mately 37,500 and on par with most other schools_located in heavier-populated
areas. Powerful lighting equipment also was installed during the 1948-49 con-
struction and a new-type "iodized" light put up in 1961 to bring night football
into new popularity. Partly to satisfy the overwhelming number of basketball
devotees, who could not squeeze into the 2,800-seat Alumni Gymnasium, a long-
planned Memorial Coliseum was completed in 1950. Seating 11,500 persons for
cage contests, the four—million dollar Coliseum also houses the Athletic Depart-
ment. More recently, Shively directed the acquisition of a pair of modern, ranch-
style living units which have served as the home of the football team since 1954.
"\wVildcat Manor" and "Kitten Lodge" replace three frame houses which the grid- `
ders had occupied since 1949.
Plans Spacious New Sports Center
A large dressing room building and football practice field, used since 1955,
was abandoned in 1959 to make way for a huge new men’s dorm. Under Shively's
supervision, a spacious new Sports Center was prepared a short distance away on
the University farm to take even better care of the footballers and spring sports
teams. The Sports Center is generally regarded as one of the finest sports facili-
ties in the nation.
Stoll Field recently underwent, with Shively's supervision, a major "face—
lifting" to improve its playing surface and the view of the fans sitting in the

Born in Oliver, Ill., May 26, 1903, Shively attended Paris (Ill.) High school and
there began his athletic career by participating in track and football. Although
he was considered an outstanding backfneld man in high school, Shively didn’t
attract the serious attention of collegiate scouts. He entered Illinois and tried
out for the football team on his own. From that humble beginning, Shively
went on to become a great guard under Coach Bob Zuppke on the same Illini
team made famous by the immortal Red Grange.
Shive played two years with Grange, running interference for the "Gallop-
ing Ghost" and made All-America in 1926 as a senior despite a bad knee that
3 handicapped his playing. He also won the heavyweight wrestling championship
  11

 of the Big 10 and was a standout in track to rank as one of the finest all-around
athletes in Illinois’ history.
Shively came to Kentucky in 1927 as line coach of football under Harry
Gammage and six years later was named head of the UK Physical Education De-
partment. He succeeded Chet Wynne as Athletic Director in 1938. During this
period and the years following, he also served as track and baseball coach for
several seasons and continued to assist the football staff as line coach until 1944.
The next year, 1945, he assumed full charge of the grid squad for one season be-
fore turning the job over to mentor Paul (Bear) Bryant in 1946.
The Kentucky Athletic Director is currently chairman of the NCAA Basket- ,
ball Tournament Committee and for the past 12 years has been president of the
Southeastern Conference Coaches and Athletic Directors Association. He served
as chairman of the SEC Basketball Committee for a number of years and is a
past chairman of the NCAA summer baseball group.
Shively and his wife, Ruth, have two children. Doug was a star end on the
UK grid team for three years ending in 1958 and is now coaching at VPI while
daughter Suzanne was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UK in 1957.
