 THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban
community of about 65,000 population. It is a state supported institu-
tion operated under the direction of a board of trustees of fifteen mem-
bers. The membership of this board includes the Governor, the Super-
intendent of Public Instruction, and the Commissioner of Agriculture,
ex officio, and twelve members appointed by the Governor, three of
whom are alumni of the University and three members of the State
Board of Agriculture. The University is one of a number of institu- `
tions known as land-grant colleges, which were established by the
Morrill Act of 1862 and which have continued to receive federal assist-
ance under the provisions of this and subsequent laws relating to the
teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and the provision of agri-
cultural experiment stations and extension services in agriculture and
home economics.
The University of Kentucky is on the approved list of the Associ-
ation of American Universities, and is a member of the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Kentucky Asso-
ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is accredited in its ~re-
spective colleges or departments by the Association of American Law
Schools, the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business,
the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism,
the American Library Association, the National Association of Schools
of Music, and the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development.
The major function of the University is that of instruction. For
the performance of this function it is organized into the College of Arts
and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the Col-
lege of Engineering, the College of Law, the College of Education, the
College of Commerce, the Graduate School, and a Department of Uni-
versity Extension. Residence instruction is given through four quar-
ters, the summer quarter being divided into two terms.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the University
contributes to the welfare of the state through research, experimenta-
tion, and public service. While all departments make important con-
tributions along these lines, certain divisions and bureaus have been
established specifically for these purposes. Included in this group are Q
the Experiment Station and the Extension Division of the College of  
Agriculture and Home Economics, the Bureau of Business Research, 2
the Bureau of Government Research, the Bureau of School Service, I
the Bureau of Source Materials in Higher Education, the Teachers
Placement Bureau, the Department of University Extension, and the {
Department of Public Relations. r
The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Univer- l
sity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. .
The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public education i
under one organization. This experiment was tried for a number of E
.2_  

 \
years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized under the Mor-
rill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic arts in Ken-
tucky University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided to es-
tablish a state institution of higher learning, the College of Agricul- ,
ture and. Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky University and
reestablished on land given by the City of Lexington and the County I
of Fayette. Thirty years later the legislature changed the name of the
institution to the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional
financial support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the
y present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by legislative
r act. .
President of the University is Dr. Herman L. Donovan, one of the l
most sports-minded executives in the United States. Under Dr. Dono— I
van’s direction the University has launched on a building program a
feature of which will be the construction of a $1,000,000 field house.
INFORMATION FOR PRESS AND RADIO
Requests for working space in the spacious press box should be
addressed to Carl Hoot Combs, Public Relations Dept., University of
Ky., Lexington. Requests for tickets in the stadium should be address-
ed to R. W. Wild. at the same address. Applications should be made
long enough in advance for claim slips to reach the applicant in the
mail. These claim slips may be exchanged for tickets in the press box
and/or stadium at the press ticket booth on the south side of the sta-
dimn on the day of the game.
Adequate facilities to file stories from the stadium will be provided
and a running statistical account of the game will be furnished to as-
sist in the preparation of stories.

 BIOGRAPI-IIES
Head Kentucky football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant is a graduate
of the University of Alabama where he played end on Coach Thomas’
1935 Rose Bowl champions. This team was perhaps one of the most
colorful, as well as one of the most powerful, in Alabama football
history, having Don Hutson on the other end and Dixie Howell in the
backfield. After graduation Bryant assisted Coach Thomas at Alabama
for four years, then moved to Vanderbilt for two years before enter-
ing the Navy from which he was released with the rank of Lt. Com-
1 mander. He comes to Kentucky from the University of Maryland
. where he led that team to six wins, two losses and a tie in 1945. He
1 beat the University of Virginia after the Cavaliers had piled up an
1 impressive string of 16 consecutive victories. I
p Carney Laslie, assistant coach, was a tackle on the 1930 Alabama
? Rose Bowl team. He was an assistant coach at Alabama and VMI be·
fore joining Bryant’s staff at Maryland last year.
` Frank Moseley, another Alabama graduate, was an assistant coach
* at Kentucky for eight years before the war. He joined Bryant’s staff
at Maryland after his release from the Navy last year.
Mike Balitsaris, Tennessee graduate, and Joe Atkinson, Vanderbilt
luminary, are in their first year on Bryant’s staff, having been sign-
ed. upon their release from the armed services this spring.
Bill McCubbin graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1940
and served one year on Ab Kirwan’s staff before entering the armed
forces. Since his discharge he has served as an instructor in the Uni-
versity of Kentucky physical education department. He will coach the
B squad and will serve as a scout on Bryant’s staff.

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE z
BREAKDOWN
Kentucky can move in only one direction if there is a change in  
standing in the Southeastern conference since the Wildcats have a _ 
firm hold on the cellar position. The all-time standings of the South- j
eastern conference teams finds Alabama occupying the top spot, close- ,
ly followed by Tennessee. The over-all breakdown follows.

Paul Bryant thus finds himself with the toughest job in the coach- i
ing profession on his hands. Kentucky has been referred to asacoach’s
graveyard but the lanky "bear-fighter" has faced the odds before and
he has never turned in a bad job. Victory-hungry Bluegrass patrons
are sure they have the right man this time. It won’t be the same old
cry of "wait until next year" with Bryant though. He promises nothing
until he has had a chance to instill some of his own fighting spirit
into the Wildcats. He thinks 1948 might be a pretty good year.

 KENTUCKY'S OFFENSE l
s
I
SYSTEM *
Kentucky uses the Notre Dame offense with a balance line. From {
the huddle they line up in a "T" formation from which they shift in-  
tothe Notre Dame box. _  
I
RUNNING GAME
Though the 1945 team won but two games, they managed to score l
in all but one game. It is likely that the 1946 team will pass often be-
cause in most cases they will be outmanned in the forward wall and
the presence of Ermal Allen, who rates as one of the finest passers in
the land, will be on hand to throw to better than average receivers.
Blocking from the guard posts will be a strong feature of the attack
but inexperience at the quarterback and fullback positions will be a .
handicap. At right halfback there will be speed to burn. .
l
PASSING GAME ,
The 1945 eleven had a strong passing attack because Dick Hensley ,
and Wallace Jones caught everything which was thrown near them. .
With these two back and an array of six good passers, the Wildcats ·
may well feature a wide open attack.  
PUNTING GAME Y
George Blanda’s kicking was one of the high spots of the 1945
season and though several capable kickers have reported to Bryant in
the interim Blanda is still the best kicker on the squad. He will be
ably assisted by Ermal Allen, Phil Cutchin and Don Phelps.
EXTRA POINTS AND KICKOFFS l
John Richter, Dick Hensley and Bill Boller appear to be the most I
promising prospects to give the Wildcats that all important after I
touchdown insurance, the extra point. Either Richter or Hensley will i
probably kick off. .
SAFETY MEN
Bryant will ordinarily have his left halfback in the safety position. .
Ermal Allen is an excellent pass defense man and punt returner who
will always be at the safety spot when he is in the ball game.
SIGNAL CALLERS Y
In the huddle, any one of the backs may call the signals but the
quarterback calls the signals once the team lines up for the attack.
Ermal Allen or Phil Cutchin will call signals if one or both are in the
game.
