 Kentucky's Rupp
Wood - Mosaic Co.
Incorporated
Coach Adolph Rupp of Kentucky, rated for years among the nation's top basketball coaches, recently returned from Europe, where he assisted the United States Army in the development of a sports and recreation program for soldiers overseas.
The Kentucky "colonel" is now in his 16th year as coach of the famed Kentucky Wildcats, who have ranked year after year as one of the top basketball aggregations in the nation.
Rupp, who  divides  his time between basketball and farming, started developing winning basketball teams for Kentucky in 1930.   In 1944, he won   the highest honor in the basketball   world,  election    to the basketball hall of fame. He was the 10th     coach so honored    in the history    of the court sport.
In the last 15 seasons, the fast-breaking, hard -driving, accurate-shooting Kentucky Cats have won 255 games, while losing but 62, an average of better than 80 per cent and probably the best record of any major basketball team in the United States.
The 1944-45 Kentucky team won 22 games, and captured the Southeastern Conference tournament for the second consecutive year. Rupp's teams have won eight conference titles, annexing the honor in 1933, 1935, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1942, 1944 and 1945.
During one period overlapping two seasons, the Rupp-men won 24 consecutive victories and, over a five-year period his team won 45 straight conference encounters.
Since Rupp, the Baron of Kentucky basketball, has been at the University, the Wildcats have lost but eight games on their home floor.
Coach Rupp is as colorful as the teams he produces. He plays the game to win, and he instills that spirit into the men who fight for Kentucky victories.
Every game is a nightmare to the Kentucky coachuntil the final whistle sounds. Then, Rupp relaxes and, usually, is able to tell the boys what a good game they played.
The coach is a native of Halstead, Kan., where he captained his high school basketball team. At the University of Kansas, from which he was graduated in 1923, he played under Dr. Phog Allen. After graduation from Kansas, he coached for one year in the high school at Marshalltown, Iowa, and then at Freeport, 111., for four years. His teams at Freeport won 72 games and lost only nine.

KENTON (DUTCH) CAMPBELL Sophomore, center, letterman (1944-45), registered 146 points in his freshman year on 57 field goals and 32 free throws. Campbell was the center and "kingpin" of the great Newark, Ohio, high school team, which won the Ohio championship in 1942-43 and played through the 1943-44 campaign without a loss until beaten by Martins Ferry in the state tournament. Dutch is 19 years old, six feet-four inches tall and weighs 192 pounds.
BUDDY PARKERJunior, forward, letterman (1944-45), racked up 27 field goals and 13 free throws for 67 points while playing as "general utility man'' last season. He played both guard and forward positions when necessary. Stricken with infantile paralysis in the early fall of 1944, Parker fought a comeback battle to retain his place on the Kentucky squad. He got out of the Navy early in 1944 just in time to play with Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference tournament at Louisville and the Metropolitan Invitational tournament at Madison Square Garden. He scored five field goals in the tournaments, all of the points coming at crucial moments. He's the firebrand who inspired the Wildcats to a 62-52 overtime victory last season over Long Island U. in Madison Square Garden, after the Kentuckians appeared hopelessly outclassed. Buddy is 20 years old, six feet tall and weighs 150 pounds. His vision is defective but that doesn't keep him from playing a whale of a floor game and "getting a bucket" now and then.

Each Kentucky-Notre Dame game since 1939 has been decided by five or fewer points, probably an all-time record for closeness of score in games matching  traditional basketball foes.
During the seven seasons, Notre Dame won five times, Kentucky claimed victory twice.
In addition, the Irish netters hold three other triumphs over the Wildcats by larger victory margins, rolled up in the years prior to 1939 when Kentucky was just beginning its fight for national basketball recognition.
The first game, played in 1936, saw the South Bend team victorious over Coach Adolph Rupp's cagers, 41-20. Notre Dame again won comfortable in 1937, by 41-28, and in 1938, by 47-37.
But thereafter the annual battles became storybook thrillers, packed with immeasurable action and excitement.
Coach Rupp's blue-clad teams lost by five points in 1939 and 1940 after putting up furious resistance, succumbed by but one point in 1941, and lost by only three points in 1942.
The first Kentucky victory in the series came in 1943. An inspired band of Wildcats trimmed the Irish, 60-55. Kentucky won again, but by an eyelash, in 1944. The score was 55-54.
One point decided, the issue again last season. Notre Dame won, 59-58, only after an overtime period.
That sets the stage for tonight's engagement.
Notre Dame, with one of the most powerful quintets in its history, and Kentucky, with its speediest cage team in years, enter tonight's game as ranking national basketball powers.
Both teams have been keyed for this one. The chips are down.
Let's see who's gonna pick 'em up!

Basketball teams at Notre Dame although overshadowed, to some extent by traditional Fighting Irish grid elevens, have produced a record during the past forty-seven years that compares favorably with outstanding marks of any university in the nation.
Irish fives began their hardwood prowess back in 1898, under Coach Frank E. Hering and Captain Martin O'Shaughnessy, when Notre Dame won a single game and dropped two decisions. More significant than the first season record, however, was that competition was inaugurated that year at Notre Dame in a sport that was to find the Irish consistently in the basketball spotlight throughout the United States.
Notre Dame, now in her forty-first cage season, has produced many outstanding teams. Numerous athletes among her ranks were selected for All-America honors, and several noteworthy performers have become famous as All-Americas. To mention only a few of the latter, John Nyikos, Edward Krause, Johnny Moir and Paul Nowak, and the late Noble Kizer, have written their names indelibly in the sports records of America.
The victory over Purdue on January 2 marked the 750th basketball game played by Notre Dame teams. During this period ten coaches have guided the Irish to a great record of 534 victories and only 216 defeats, for a winning percentage of .710. The Irish have scored 26,148 points, to 20,490 for their opponents. A total of 317 basketball players have been awarded monograms since the sport was inaugurated, at Notre Dame.
Coach Elmer Ripley, who is guiding the destinies of the 1945-46 Notre Dame five, was a star professional basketball player in New York with the original Celtics. He had sixteen years of collegiate coaching experience at Georgetown, Yale and Columbia universities before assuming his duties at Notre Dame. He is on leave of absence from Georgetown. Edward Krause, who received a leave-of-absence from his duties as head basketball coach after the 1943-44 season to serve with the Marines, has returned to Notre Dame but will not assume his basketball coaching duties until the 1946-47 campaign.
The current Irish court squad, hailed as one of the greatest basketball teams ever to represent Notre Dame, boasts all five regulars from last year's aggregation, plus the return of All-American Leo Klier, of Washington, Ind., from the 1943-44 squad. It was Klier who broke Johnny Moir's all-time individual season's scoring record of 291 points by tallying 293 points before being commissioned an ensign in the Navy. Last season, Vince Boryla, East Chicago, Ind., freshman center, broke Klier's mark with 322 points. Boryla after resigning from the U. S. Naval Academy, is holding down the center post for the Irish again this season.
Teaming with Klier at forward is Johnny Dee, diminutive Chicago forward. Capt. Billy Hassett, who was selected All-American and All-Chicago Stadium guard last year, and Frank Gilhooley, stout defensive stalwart, man the guard spots. George Ratterman, who was a regular forward on the 1944-45 team that won 15 and lost 5 under Coach Clem Crowe alternates as a first line reserve at both forward and guard. BEST WISHES

FRANK GILHOOLEY Notre Dame Guard
GILHOOLEY, FRANK P. (GIL), senior Irish guard, is after his second monogram as a member of the Notre Dame team. Frank proved a handy man to have around last season when he teamed with Billy Hassett at the guard posts. His father will be remembered by baseball fans of some 23 years ago as Frank "Flash" Gilhooley. Gil played his high school ball at Central Catholic High School in Toledo where his quintets were city and conference champs and one year were runners-up in the state meet. He was named All-City and All-State Tournament guard in 1942. A two time baseball monogram winner, Gilhooley was team captain last spring, and led, the team in hitting. He is considered the best outfielder in college ball today.

GEORGE RATTERMAN Notre Dame Forward Cincinnati, Ohio
RATTERMAN, GEORGE (JOJO), German-Irish forward, who was a regular last year, is one of the most versatile athletes in Irish history. He is one of the four men to win four monograms in a single year, the others being Alfred Bergman, Rupe Mills and Johnny Lujack. Ratterman won monograms during the past 12 months in basketball, baseball, tennis and football. At Xavier High in Cincinnati where he prepped, Gentleman George won all state honors in football and basketball, captaining both teams his senior year. He is considered one of the "slickest" players in college ball, and last year, as a freshman, he was named to the all Chicago Stadium team.

Meeting the Irish
CORLEY, RAYMOND C. (RAY), freshman Irish forward, comes to Notre Dame well recommended from Staten Island, N. Y. Ray earned two monograms in basketball and three in baseball while performing for St. Peter's High School in Staten Island. A fast, shifty lad with a good shooting eye, Corley was named on the All-City basketball team in his senior year. He was captain of his freshman, junior varsity and varsity squads.
GATENS, DONALD J. (RED), freshman Irish forward, shows promise of development into a potent collegiate eager after winning three monograms in basketball at St. Patrick's High School in his hometown, Iowa City, la. Gatens, who was captain of his high school quintet in his senior year, received All-City honors during his junior and senior years.
GOONEN, JOHN J. (JOHNNY), Irish guard, is one of the outstanding new prospects on Coach Elmer Ripleys' squad this season. Johnny, who moved to Lafayette, Ind., after starring in basketball at Seton Hall Prep., South Orange, N. J., enrolled at Notre Dame after receiving a discharge from the Coast Guard. He won two letters in basketball while at Seton Hall.
HINGER. RALPH J. (HING), freshman German-Irish forward, is another of the 18-year-old lads on the 1945-46 Irish squad. Ralph hails from Chicago, 111., where he won All-Section honors as a member of the St. Philip five. His quintet was nailed as Chicago city champions during his senior year. Steve Juzwik, former Irish halfback, and Ray Meyer, Notre Dame cage great and present DePaul coach, come from Hinger's neighborhood.
HORNHORST, HERMAN A. (SLIM), freshman center, towers above the hardwood on a 6'4", 190 pound frame to give the Irish plenty of reserve height at the center post. Herman, a native of Park Hills, Ky., received his prep training at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, where he won two monograms at center. The St. Xavier cagers were city basketball champions of Cincinnati in 1944 when Hornhorst was captain of the squad. Slim is a student in the engineering school at Notre Dame.
KLUCK, RICHARD J. (DICK), Czech-Irish freshman forward, was two-time captain of the St. Philip High School quintet in Chicago where the 18-year-old youth won three monograms in basketball and one in football. He was a teammate of Ralph Hinger on the city championship St. Philip team. Dick stands 6'2" and tips the scales at 185, is a hawk on defensive operati
