Brown and his plans for Ken- tucky. Brown and his wife Phyllis George appeared in front of the Bingham Humanities building, along with Mahammad Ali, to answer stu- dents questions and share ideas. After winning the election, Governor Brown and his wife appeared together again to honor the Cardinal basketball team during the “Wave The Cards Home” celebration at Freedom Hall ABOVE hn Y.

As you walk between classes with your mind in a daze, again you are being watched by these “peep- ing toms” in the bushs and trees. But, no need to call the Department of Public Safety, it is just U of L's second mascot, Cardinal Squirrel. The Cardinal Squirrels have become perpetual residents as well as professional moochers. Over the years they have become junk food junkies and will go to all means, from following you around and begging to raiding the garbage cans to satisfy their needs. gk U OF L STUDENTS SHOW CONCERN THE BELKNAP PLAYHOUSE THEN ...

Seniors 39 Fans See RED... “Cardinal Red” of Course! By David W. Miller and Lynne Ofcacek There’s a new chic look in Kentucky. It's bred in Louisville, It's stunning, breath-taking; as a designer look and it's catching. It's turned into a rage; the Red Rage. Look around: red T-shirts, red hats, red keychains, red license plates, red jackets, red shorts, red socks, and even red bumper stickers. The new style is only one shade of red. The U of L fans have put a little ex- tra “umph” into that color. With a lot of spirit, fight, and fervor they've suc- cessfully made the Cardinal Red, the hottest look in town. Thanks to the U of L 1980 NCAA Champs, the Card fans have come alive. Early in the school year, the fans supported the Red Rage football team at the Fairgrounds on Saturdays. Although the cheers inside the stadium weren't always loud enough, the cheers outside the stadium were. Tailgating before the game was definitely alive and kicking. Fans traditionally mingled and feasted from the trunks of their cars and as a pre-game activity the color red was always there. ‘ 40 Fans The red became Cardinal Red as the basketball season dribbled on and the 1 Cardinal, Darrell Griffith, spread wings and took Card fans on a smooth flignt to Naptown. Thousands of fans stood in lines that resembled rush hour on the Watterson just to get their names in the hat for a chance to buy a ticket. If their name was drawn they were set for Market Square Arena in Indianapolis and the 1980 NCAA Semi-finals. Between pep rallies and bon voyages at Crawford Gym and welcome homes at Standiford Field, the fans cheered on. Few fans were lucky enough to go to the final games; but those who stayed home felt a greater joy. They got to feel the excitement and anticipation of the city as she waited for the University of Louisville Cards to step into the spotlight as the 1980 NCAA Champs. What came after the Cards proved themselves on national television is now Louisville history, as well as a great memory for fans and all Louisvillians alike. The Cardinal bench that night was all of Louisville as the en- tire city watched and was filled with 1 | y. — - - ecstasy. Fans lifted the roof of the Red Barn, traffic ripped the pavement on campus and those who c ouldn't fit at U of L gathered all around town at their favorite night spot for pizza, red beer and celebration. The air of excitement continued until Tuesday night when thousands of fans “Waved the Cards Home” at Freedom Hall. Freedom Hall was so crowded that it was ripping at the seams as hun- dreds of disappointed fans were turned away and waved home themselves. Fans showed their appreciation for the team and the team returned all the thanks and more to the fans for the support that enabled them to call them- selves the Champions. The color red was raging more than it had ever raged before. The sharing of the joy and excite- ment of winning is what the fans are for. And that is what all the celebrations stood for; fans and team together in triumph. The fans knew it then as they know it now; as they waved their banner and sang their song: “This Is It”.

Rage Endures Season Of Struggle Blaring out over the radio came the voice of the 1979 U of L varsity football team, “The R-R-Rage is Ready.” Ready for the schools’ hardest schedule ever. Ready perhaps to go to a bowl for the first time in years and ready possibly for a national ranking. But, ... was the Rage ready? Louisville opened at home against Virginia Tech. The Cardinals wasted lit- tle time only two minutes and 36 seconds in putting their first point of the season on the scoreboard. Craft scored on a 40 yard touchdown run and Mat Magers’ P.A.T. put the Cards up 7-0 before a crowd of 29,436, the third largest in the history of U of L. Defenses took over from there till the end of the half. The second half began much like the first. After a bad snap on a VPI punt, which put the ball on the Tech 17 yard line, Sims rammed in from a yard out to put Louisville on top 14-0 only seven plays in to the half. The Hokies finally got on the scoreboard with a 23 yard field goal by freshman game hero, 44 Football Dennis Laury. Early in the fourth quarter VPI blocked a Louisville punt out of the endzone to close the gap to 14-5. Tech added a touchdown on a one yard run by Mickey Fitzgerald to set up the ex- citing finish. With 4:08 to go VPI had a third and ten on their own 15 yard line. The Hokies called a pass play with Ricky Hall clearing out a section of zone for Sidney Snell. But, Louisville read the play so well they had Snell covered which left Hall open for a 30 yard com- pletion. This gave the Hokies new life and they drove down to the Louisville two yard line with seven seconds left. Time for Laury’s heroics, as he kicked a 19 yard field goal which gave VPI their first lead and the game 15-14. Louisville only managed 57 yards total offense the second half after gaining 200 even before halftime. Coach Gibson put part of the blame on himself for not passing more. And he showed this by having the Cardinals fill the air with footballs in the next game at Miami. Before 41,129 fans in the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, and a regional TV audience the Cardinals and the Hurricanes put on an excellent show. As in the opener Louisville put all their points on the scoreboard before their opponents could score. The Cards scored on runs of one yard by Sims and 32 yards by Craft. With 1:10 left, Mike Sims fumbled and Miami recovered the ball and scored three plays later. With a 21-12 deficit the Cards were unable to mount a consistent drive after halftime. A 35 yard field goal by Miami ended the scoring with Miami on top by 24-12. The Louisville defense was effective against the rush holding Miami to 69 yards, 17 in the first half. Stunned by the bad breaks suffered in the first two games the Cards re- turned to the friendly confines of Fairground Stadium to meet unfriendly Cincinnati TOP RIGHT: Leading rusher Greg Hickman cuts in behind a Hocker as defending lineman gives chase LEFT: Head Coach Vince Gibson discussing strategy with his quarterback on the sideline ABOVE: Freshman quarterback Scott Gannon (13) wheels to throw upfield as Bo Haden (11) heads for the flat Football 45 —— ay Early in the game against the Bear- cats the breaks started going toward Louisville. As had happened in the previous two games, the Cards jumped out first and early. With only 90 seconds missing from the clock Cincin- nati lined up to punt. Big Lamar Evans, a 249 Ib., sophomore, tackle roared in and blocked the punt and linebacker Ricky Skiles grabbed the ball and carried it eight yards into the endzone for a touchdown. Then for the conversion attempt the snap was bad, but Scott Gannon, the holder, passed to the tight end, Gary Nord for two points. Little happened in the way of offense until Bearcat quarterback, Tony Kapetanis snuck in from a yard out to complete a 39 yard drive after a fumble by Louisville. The two point conversion tied the game at 8-8 with 3:30 left before halftime. As the half drew to an end, Steve Schultz boomed a 49 yard field goal to give the Bearcats an 11-8 halftime lead. This didn't deter Evans as he started out the second half the way he started out the first, by blocking a Bearcat punt. The Cards got the ball on the Bearcats 31 yard line and scored two plays later when Stu Stram hit Randy Butler with a 17 yard touchdown pass.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Bo Haden (11) escapes the grasp of a Tulsa defender. a After a Cincinnati punt, the Cards drove 55 yards as Stram hit Greg Searcy at the Bearcats’ 31 yard line and he out run the Cincinnati secondary to the endzone for a 53 yard touchdown. After Magers’ conversions on both touchdowns, Louisville was up 22-11. The Cardinals defense took over from there allowing only a six yard touchdown by Allen Harvin and a two point conversion. Evans ended up with three blocked punts which made up for four lost fumbles by the Cards. For the first time all year Louisville outgained an opponent as the Cardinals won their first game 22-19. The momentum of this victory was to carry over to the Car- dinals next game. The Cardinals battled Drake Univer- sity at Des Moines, lowa. For the fourth time in four games Louisville was the first to put a number on the scoreboard as Mager hit his first field goal of the season, a 27 yarder, for a 3-0 lead. This did not hold for long as Drake scored two quick touchdowns, one on each side of the first quarter break, to pull out 14-3.

Trailing 14-10 at halftime, Louisville coughed up the ball on a bad pitchout by Gannon. Drake pushed the ball five yards on three plays for a 21-10 lead. But the Cards did not give up as Stu Stram, who was back in the game, led them 80 yards for a touchdown with Greg Hickman going in from two yards out. On the conver- sion Gannon faked the hold for the kick then rolled left and dove in to make the score 21-18 Drake. With 13 minutes left in the game Drake found itself with a fourth and two at the U of L 41 yard line. Rickey Skiles stopped Drake fullback Wardell Wright a yard short of the first down to turn the ball back to the Car- dinals. Stram directed U of L 60 yards with Hickman again putting the ball across the goal line, this time from a yard out. Mager missed the extra point but, Louisville still led 24-21. With 3% minutes left, Dave Betz kicked a tower- ing 45 yard punt to the Drake three yard line where a Drake player dropped it. Louisville recovered at the one. Eric Rollins punched it in and U of L had the game, their second win against two losses. Louisville dominated the line of scrimmage giving up only 30 yards on the ground and caused a loss of 10 yards in the second half. That was the stage set for the BIG GAME against ninth ranked and un- beaten Florida State. The Seminoles proved to be too much for Louisville as they easily han- died U of L 27-0. Mike Sims and second string offensive lineman Robert Niece quit the team before the game and Otis Wilson, Billy Perrin and Gary Nord were all injured during the game. Tulsa was the helpless victim for Homecoming. But Tulsa didn't act helpless as they turned the tables on Louisville by scoring first. With a third and 11 from their own 26 yard line, Tulsa quarterback, Bill Blankenship, threw a desperation-up-for-grabs bomb. U of L cornerback Zarko Ellis covered the pass perfectly but he and intended receiver Reno Hutchins bumped while jumping for the ball. While Ellis just came down, unfor- tunately on his face, Hutchins came LEFT: Dan Williams (53) and Richard Tharpe watch the action from the Louisville bench BELOW: Zarko Ellis moves in to tackle a Tulsa receiver before he can gain anymore yardage down with the ball and raced into the endzone for a 74 yard touchdown. Not to be outdone the Cards came up with their own garbage play. On a third and 10 from the Cardinal 33 yard line, Scott Gannon dropped back to throw a screen pass to Donnie Craft. But a Tulsa defensive lineman “read” the play and hung back near Craft. Seeing the play shut down Gannon started to run, then as the lineman came after him he flipped the ball side ways to Craft. Since both the blocking and defense had broken down, Craft was in an every man for yourself situation. He cut back against the grain to the op- posite sideline while gaining little yardage, then broke up the sideline for 54 yards before being shoved out of bounds at the Tulsa 13. Four plays later Greg Hickman dove in for the T.D. from the one. With just two minutes left in the first half, Bo Haden ended a three yard run with a dive over three Tulsa defenders into the endzone landing head first. Late in the game Mat Mager kicked a 27 yard field goal and Lawrence Mack added a one yard T.D. to complete the s coring. Football 49 For the first time Louisville gained over 200 yards rushing and Greg Hickman was the first Cardinal to gain over 100 yards in a single game. Meanwhile, the Louisville defensive held Tulsa to a minus 12 yards rushing. During a stretch of 10 plays during four minutes of the second half, there were five turnovers. Next Louisville journeyed to Indiana State to be the opponent for the Sycamore’s homecoming. The Louisville offense seemed to be in awe as Indiana out scored them 10-0 by the half time. Luckily the Louisville defense was showing off and put 14 points on the scoreboard by themselves. Ray Payton intercepted a pass and went 26 yards for a T.D. to put the Cards up 7-3. Eight minutes later Otis Wilson blocked a Sycamore punt. Eddie Johnson picked up the ball and raced toward a Louisville T.D. He was tackled and fum- bled the ball, but Billy “BIG PLAY” Perrin recovered the fumble and scored his umpteenth T.D. off blocked punts.

By this time the Cardinal defense should have sued the other half of the team for non-support. But, they stuck it out and Jeff Henry intercepted a screen pass and returned it 40 yards to the State 30. This finally woke up the of- fense and they scored on another fourth and one play, this time from the nine yard line. Bo Haden scored on that one. Scott Gannon hit.Randy Butler with a 13-yard T.D. and Greg Miller ran in from four yards out to complete the scoring. Revenge was the word for the battle against Southern Mississippi. Last year they were defeated 37-3 but this year they played at home and were ready for a struggle. From the outset the game was a defensive fight, as neither team put together anything resembling a drive in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Jamie Perrin started running and fumbled at the Louisville 21-yard line. Still it took Southern Miss. five plays to push the ball into the endzone. It only took Louisville one play and 12 seconds to answer as Greg Searcy took the ensuing kickoff straight up the middle of the field 89 yards for a T.D. Matt Mager's P.A.T. pulled the Cards even at 7-7. Midway through the second quarter, U of L cor- ner back Leon Williams recovered a Miss. fumble at the visitors 37 yard line. The Cards drove down to the eight, where they lined up for a Mager field goal. Instead Gibson called a fake and Scott Gannon rolled out and passed to Lawrence Mack in the endzone.

The dropped pass left the score at 7-7, where it stayed until just nine seconds before halftime. Mager lined up for a 44-yard field goal, a distance usually attempted by Dave Betz. But Mager proved he could hit the line field goal also by splitting the up rights with his career longest. After a short Miss. punt and even shorter Louisville drive Mager came out on the field for the third time to kick a field goal, for the second time he left without it as the kick sailed wide right from 34-yards away. Southern Miss. then put together their only decent drive of the game down to a third and goal at the Louisville one. But, the Louisville defense, as they had done all year long, pulled off a minor miracle with Otis Wilson and Eddie Johnson throwing Ricky Floyd for a four-yard loss on the final play of the third quarter. Winston Walker booted the 22-yard field goal to pull the game even at 10-10. With only 4:38 left in the game Miss. went for a fourth and one at the Louisville 45. Ricky Floyd, met his favorite defense in the usual manner and place (abruptly and short of the first down) and the Cards took over. With only 51 seconds remaining and Louisville now in Dave Betz’ field goal range, Scott Gannon lofted a third and eight pass down the field toward Randy Butler. It sailed over Butler's head and 51 seconds were not enough for either team to score. The final score was 10- 10. The next game at Memphis showed the Cards that the kicking game woes were not over. Louisville passers hit a combined five of 19 tosses for only 26 yards. The total broke down like this: Scott Gannon started the game and completed one of eight for a loss of one yard. Pat Patterson also only com- pleted one pass in his six tries for eight yards. Punter Dave Betz hit his only pass but it was still short of a first down. Stu Stram came on a connected on three of his four passes, two to his own players for 16 yards, and one to State safety Johnny Ray. Coach Gibson, took all the blame for the interception, say- ing he called the wrong play. Still the passing woes should not have made a 52 Football difference considering the way the Car- dinal defense was beating up on the Tiger offense. Wilson and company forced ten fumbles and recovered six of them. Also, two passes were inter- cepted. Not to be out done the Cardinal offense stopped themselves three times in Memphis territory, twice on fumbles and the other on a missed 17- yard field goal. There was a bright spot in the otherwise gloomy offense. Greg Hickman had over 100 yard rushing and a T.D. Coach Gibson made some major changes after the game to try to wake up the Cardinal scoring machine. He switched Dave Betz and Matt Mager, with Betz place kicking and Mager punting. Also, he went back to veteran Stu Stram after the Disasterous games by both Gannon and Patterson. This change seemed to work in the Cardinals next game against Maryland, for a while at least. Stram connected on a 63-yard T.D. pass to sophomore Marc Wilson. This gave Louisville a 7-7 tie at the end of three quarters. But, the Louisville defense, which had carried the team all year long, finally relented and Maryland pushed three T.D.’s across the final quarter.

For the first half Louisville dominated taking a 7-3 lead with Bo Haden scoring. Haden strained his knee on the play and was not effec- tive the remainder of the game. Early in the third quarter Stu Stram dropped back to pass with good coverage from his line. Since no one was open he was forced to throw the ball to Greg Searcy who was near the sideline. The pass was too high and hard and the ball bounced off of his hands into a Rutgers defenders’ whc ran the ball back for the go-ahead T.D. That opened the flood gates and Rutgers put three more T.D.’s on the board winning 31-7. Gibson termed the season “almost a nightmare”. A look at the season's stats practically confirmed that. The total of- fense gain was less than 2700 yards, with just barely 100 yards per game passing. But the Cards defense held the opponents to just over 3200 yards total offense. U of L was outscored 20- 167 but if you throw out the last two games, the Cards were actually out- scoring their opponents 153-143. The passing and kicking games were possi- ble nightmares but the defense was a pleasant dream. Football 53 -— THE YEAR OF THE BIRD—— By Melissa Uhl She spent the year flapping her wings, flashing her red tail, and kissing kids with her yellow beak. Those were the actions of Julie Hall the U of L Car- dinal Bird mascot. Julie is a senior and home economics major who has been the Bird for the past two years. As Cardinal Bird she is considered part of the cheerleading squad, but Julie was a dancing bird who loved kids. During the football season the crowd looked for her creative entrances. In 1978 she arrived for the Maryland game in a helicopter. This year she came to the Cincinnati game in a fire engine with a Get fired up” sign. The nation saw the Cardinal Bird on television during the NCAA. At the “WAVE Home the Cards” pep rally, Julie was honored with a dozen roses from Lt. Gov. Martha Layne Collins for her service as Cardinal Bird. “It's sad that my time as Cardinal Bird has ended, but it ended in the best possible way,” said Julie. Besides cheering at U of L games, Julie did public relations work for the university. She appeared in the Red Rage television commercials, posed for the Fall 1979 Red Barn Calendar, and advertised U of L phones for South Central Bell. Julie thought that meeting children was an important part of her job. “Kids loved to kiss my beak,” she said. Many Louisville children had the opportunity to meet the Cardinal Bird. Julie made it a point to meet with the crowd at games, but she also visited Kosair Crippled Children’s Hospital, spent af- ternoons at Louisville shopping cen- ters, and joined school children in their classrooms. “U of L uses the picture of the Car- dinal Bird on almost everything,” said Julie. “That's why the mascot is so im- portant to U of L; when people see the Cardinal Bird they think of U of L. Peo- ple can identify the school with certain players but they'll move on to other places; the Cardinal Bird will be here forever.” Above: As the U of L mascot, the Cardinal is seen everywhere Right: Even small children can see the warmth behind the wide grin and arched brows of our Red Bird 54 Cardinal Bird Left: The Cardinal Bird is a welcome sight at every game because everyone enjoys watching and waiting to see what stunt she will try next.

The team anticipated another year of growth and success and hoped to meet a set goal. The Cards planned to show the state that Louisville was here and that they were a team to look out for. Five full scholarships brought new and unexperienced talent under the leadership of head coach, Susan Johns. This year Johns was made Louisvilles’ first full time volleyball coach. Aided by a new assistant, Marsha Mueller, Johns and the team faced the toughest schedule and stif- fiest competition ever. The Cards opened their season against their hottest rival, Eastern Ken- 56 Volleyball VOLLEYBALL ... “The Team Of The Future” tucky University. Much to their despair the Cards went down before the tough Division | team, losing by a score of 15- 9, 15-8. But revenge was in the future, for during the tournament time U of L defeated E.K.U. with a score of 15-10, 15-13. It was the first Division | team that they had beaten. Since five of the six starters for the Cards were freshmen, it was hard for the team to adjust between the games on their difficult schedule. Fortunately, when pressure situations arose Johns could always depend on her, “oldies but goldies,” Barbara and Rose Elpers, to help out. During tournament time three freshman stood out in their ac- complishments: Sharon Unger, Kathy Carmen and Cindy Vescovi, were out- standing in their team efforts. The best tournament play of the season was the U.S. Navel Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where the Cards placed second. The team ended their season by placing fourth in the state tournament. This is the highest place U of L has ever received. For the past two years Louisville has been building a volleyball program of quality. Now all the efforts are begin- ning to pay off. As coach Johns said, “Louisville is the team of the future.” With a four year record of 29-59-2, coach Susan Johns ends her career as womens’ volleyball coach at the Uni- versity of Louisville. Her contributions to the volleyball team will be reflected in the future achievements of the team. SEASON RECORD Eastern Ky Marshall Ky.

The question of NCAA eligibility rules, the inexperience of the team, the hard schedule, and the disin- terest of the public. The team has been hampered again this year by the regulations in its NCAA competition. They lost four players due to the ruling: two fullbacks, one mid- field, one forward, and one goalie. The Cards have only been a formal team since last year which puts them at a great disadvantage. The schedule includes established soccer schools like Cincinnati, Xavier, and Wright University. At present little interest in the sport exists but as Nation wide popularity in- creases; Louisvill es’ support will rise as well. Coach Claudio Maldonado, from Columbia, has seen many changes in the team. He feels that they have a lot of potential and they could possibly be a strong competitor in the future. The most valuable player this year was Wayne Garvey. Wayne and Greg Sanders were the team captains for the season. Extra-special recognition was given for Jay Thomas who took over as goalie because other goalie could not play due to the ineligibility.

A Goal in Mind The 1979 field hockey team had a good season despite its hard schedule and disappointing end. The team started out early in preparation for the season ahead. Practice included weight training and running. Running lasted until late March and weight training continued through April. By the beginning of the season the team was in shape for their busy schedule ahead. When asked about the season, coach Sandy McLaughlin said, “! pur- posely made out a very tough schedule because the team has improved tremendously during the last two seasons.” She pointed out that the Cards had played four teams from Virginia, which is the strongest region. The team is young but experienced and competitive. Most players join the team with two or three years ex- perience behind them. The best game according to McLaughlin was against Furman Uni- versity. It was a tough battle in which both teams played well. McLaughlin feels that this is the game in which her team played their best. “The score could have been tied, but we won 4-0,” she said.

This was the only tie game of the season. The Cards later met E.K.U. at the state tournament and lost 2-0. It was a big disappointment. During the season the Cards adopted a new system that changed the names of the playing positions. They also played their first six of nine games on astro-turf. McLaughlin com- mented, “The team likes playing on it, it makes for a fast game and we have a fast team.” At the start of the season the Cards played two away games in one day. This enabled them to play a variety of teams in the area. The most improved players were: Mary K. Fields and Sherry Hauber. This season was one of growth and success for the field hockey team and they ended their season with an overall record of 10-6-1. Field Hockey 61 Women's gymnastics coach, Carole Liedtke, brought this years gymnastics team through another successful season; culminating with an eighth place finish in the AIAW National Championship meet. The Cards scored 137.4 points to win their eighth place. Although expectations ran higher for the women in this years national tour- nament, Coach Liedtke was proud of the great effort the team put forth and their overall fine season. In the past five seasons coach Liedtke has enabled U of L to reach all set goals, finishing 16th, 16th, 10th, 8th, GYMNASTICS... “We’re Eighth In The Nation” and 8th places respectively, in the na- tion. The team suffered the loss of their top performer, Bobbie Ann Hunt, at the start of the season, but the depth and dedication of the other gymnasts helped to fill the gap. Because of in- juries, Hunt was forced to sit out this season, but she remained a valuable part of the program by helping Liedtke coach the team. Besides last years returning perfor- mers: senior Cindy LaFountain, sophomore Laurie Salvaggio, sophomore Shawn Lusader and sophomore Mimi Beauchamp, the newcomers on the team include sophomore Karen Bains, junior Patty Locotosh, freshman Julie Bender, Kim Buckler and Kaylene King. For the fifth consecutive year the team finished first in the Kentucky Women's _ Intercollegiate Conference and captured the state title. U of L scored 143.25 points. The victory was even sweeter when senior Cindy LaFountain won her first state in- dividual title.

On March 22, at East Tennessee ° State University, the team came a step § closer to its goal by capturing a fifth consecutive Region 11 Championship. U of L posted its highest mark of the season with a team total of 146.10 and placed in the top four positions in the all-around competition. Freshman i Julie Bender led the scoring with a 37.35. Kim Buckler, also a freshman, followed with a 37.15. Sophomore Laurie Salvaggio placed third with an all around score of 36.00 and senior Cindy LaFountain finished with a fourth place 35.85 points. After the regional the team worked hard to add difficulty to their routines and with an unexpected fifth place seeding in the national championship tournament, they looked toward a sixth place finish in the AIAW. As it turned out, injuries shattered dreams as well as marring performances. The cards came out in the end with a very respec- table eighth place finish and a season marked by fine performances. The togetherness of this years team can be seen as an asset that paid off well. Coach Liedtke claims that there are no stars on her team and when it comes to effort “group” is the word that sums it all up. 64 Gymnastics Above: Coach Liedtke watches as Shawn Lusader performs on the un- even parallel bars.

A storybook season for the media, who in the past had their delights on picking on the University of Louisville's flaws. Their coach, Denny Crum, had the emotions of a brick wall, the players were just a bunch of kids playing pick- up sandlot ball. That's what they used to say. lt was a storybook season for the fans, who in recent years couldn't be dragged out to Freedom Hall when they'd play even the easiest of teams, let alone have to suffer through the squad's “traditional February fold”. Yet, they came out in record num- bers. But most of all, it was a storybook season for the players. The closeness and comraderie they had developed from the previous year had blended together, overshadowing whatever dis- satisfaction may have arisen on the bench or elsewhere, to produce Louisville with its first NCAA cham- pionship. Taking nothing away from the players, the drive to the top was the masterwork of 43 year-old head coach, 4 , : = ws . a Sre 7a 4% fe. 3 : OPPOSITE PAGE: The team clasps hands to psyche themselves up before the final game against UCLA. TOP LEFT: “This Is It , sung by Kenny Loggins, was chosen by NBC as the theme song for the NCAA Cham- pionship. Cardinal fans took this theme as their own Denny Crum. With only two seniors present for his 1979-1980 season, he worked hard in preseason to determine the starting five that turned out to be the youngest he had ever coached. Af- ter losing sophomore forward Scooter McCray to a knee injury in only the third game of the season, Crum was forced to install Scooter’s younger brother, freshman Rodney, at the cen- ter position and hope he could fill it out. And fill it out he did. The outcome resulted in U of L's nine-year coach reaching the 200 career win mark in less time than any other coach besides Nevada-Las Vegas’ Jerry Tarkanian; compiling his ninth straight season of 20 or more wins; bringing his team to the NCAA final four more times (three) than any team in the last ten years (save UCLA); amassing a winning percentage (.799) second only behind Tarkanian as an active coach; and bringing both he, U of L, and its fans its first national champship. Yet the most integral part of this championship season, most people would agree, was Dr. Dunkenstein him- self, Darrell Griffith. The man with the four foot vertical leap choreographed a season which is bound to become legendary to anyone associated with U of L basketball.

He worked even harder bringing himself up on his defensive prowess. Both he and Crum tried to iron out his lapses of concentration which bothered him from time to time. Even a university psychologist, Dr. Stanley Frager tried a form of hypnosis on Griffith. A combination of one or all the above must have helped, because the change in Griffith was noticeable. lf it was a season of happiness for Griffith, it had to be one of both joy and disappointment for U of L's other senior, Tony Branch. Resigned to sitting the bench in favor of the youth of Jerry Eaves. The man from Michigan City, Indiana showed the strength and intestinal fortitude which made him a perennial Freedom Hall favorite. Branch went from a 22-game starter the previous year to U of L’s ninth man after a very disappointing preseason. His day was yet to come. Anchored around Griffith, the team was not one of great size, but coach Crum felt their lack of height could be compensated with in their quickness. Crum's dream of using a 2-1-2 full court press went from just that, a dream to a reality. He felt a 40 minute, baseline to baseline game would con- fuse the transition game of his oppo- nents. But could they keep it up an en- tire season? It had to work. The front court found itself with 6-9 forward Scooter McCray, a starter from his freshman year, who voiced his discontent with playing the center position the previous year following the Marquette game. His running mate, 6-6 Derek Smith, regarded as some to be the best sixth man in the nation last year (coming off a record-breaking field goal accuracy for U of L), was an awesome reboun- der, and he could go up against forwards three to four inches taller than him. That left the middle to 6-8 defenders sophomore Wiley Brown. The man with the bionic thumb was soon to put his strength and quickness to the test against some of the premiere big men in the country. The final spot in the backcourt along with Griffith ended up going to Eaves. After playing in every game as a Freshman (a four time starter), he took great strides the following summer in improving his ball handling a defense, thus getting the nod as U of L’s fifth man. That meant the starting five boasted one senior and four sophomores. The critics had a field day. They figured if U of L's height didn’t put them at a disad- vantage, then their team experience as a whole would. And as far as bench strength was concerned, a big question mark seemed to loom there too. The “sixth man” for the Cards was Rodney McCray. He was to be the “big man” when Smith, Brown, or McCray were in foul trouble or needed a rest. At 6-7 and fresh out of high school, Rod- TOP LEFT: Wiley Brown (41), Derek Smith (43), and Poncho Wright (44) drop back into the full court zone press that wore out many opposing teams this year LEFT: Roger Burkman drives in for a layup against Memphis State TOP RIGHT: “Scooter” McCray makes a shot surrounded by three Marathon ABOVE: The cheerleaders held the crowd together throughout the season Men's Basketball 69 ney had neither the height or ex- perience a coach would like to have in their big sixth man. Then came Roger Burkman. The scrappy guard out of Indianapolis, whose claim to fame was a last second jumper from the corner (just after com- ing off the bench as a freshman) to beat Florida State 94-93 in the 1978 Metro Tournament. The lack of experience also showed here, and as a replacement for Griffith, he had some big shoes to fill in order for U of L to keep its composure with Griffith out. And probably what U of L needed most off the bench came in the forms of David “Poncho” Wright and Greg Deuser. As was evidenced the previous year (especially in the nationally televised U of L-Duke contest), Louisville needed someone who could shoot from the outside in order to stop their opponent's zone defenses. When not being double or even triple teamed inside, Griffith had his troubles hitting from the perimeter. Wright and Deuser provided just what the “Doctors of Dunk ordered in the form of steady outside shooting. This left Griffith free to work his magic under the basket. Yet one face which was not seen for the entire season was that of Bobby Turner. Turner was forced into in- eligibility by academic problems, although he still practiced with the team. So the stage was set for the 1979- 190 season. It was to be tough, with teams like South Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio State, St. Johns, Marquette, Florida State, and Virginia Tech in the lineup. Yet U of L couldn't look to the NCAA before it looked at its tough Metro schedule. Their opener was an exhibition game against the Lexington, Kentucky based Marathon AAU team. After a struggle between four players, Crum decided to start Jerry Eaves opposite Griffith. The choice proved very effective. U of L laced AAU 111-72. Griffith, heading towards the school’s career scoring record laid in 25 points, followed by a gutsy 22 point performance by Smith. Crum stated that he was very pleased with the team's efforts. The full court press the team labored to set up (in terms of con- ditioning and execution), completely flustered Marathon AAU. It was a weapon the Cards would either live or die by during the regular season. Next up for the Cardinals came South Alabama. Louisville had pulled 70 Men's Basketball out a victory over them in the opening round of the NCAA the previous year. This time around U of L pulled out toa 14 point lead, then faltered, allowing South Alabama to edge back to within one point before the Cards capped a 75-73 thriller. It was also a game in which the McCray brothers had their heads shaved, a trademark which remained throughout the entire season. Louisville traveled next to Tennessee-Chattanooga, convincingly pounding them 87-63. Tony Branch saw his first sign of action after sitting the bench, logging eight minutes of playing time. With a 2-0 record, the “Doctors of Dunk” hit the floor at the University of Tennessee. A team to be reckoned with at any point in time, their beating top- ten rated St. Johns, an upcoming Louisville opponent, 97-80 on opening day may have had the Cards on edgea bit. Whatever the case, the Cards were delt a severe blow before anybody in the stands could settle down. Three minutes into the game, Scooter McCray crashed to the floor in pain. Torn cartilage in the knee was soon to be the diagnosis. U of L's future, on whom the superb passing and shot-blocking ability of McCray was to be a major part, was hanging in the balance. A look to the bench by Crum saw Rodney McCray enter in place of his in- jured brother, thus moving Wiley Brown to forward. The move resulted in a 77-75 squeaker over the Vols, and OPPOSITE PAGE: Derek Smith (43) draws a crowd as he puts up a left handed shot.

On December 11, it was announced that Scooter McCray had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee. The man who dazzled the Freedom Hall crowds with his adept passing and enormous shot-blocking ability was out for the remainder of the year. Or was he? No matter, the season did not end with McCray going under the knife, and U of L had the Holiday Classic coming up. Wiley Brown prophesized that even without McCray, they'd “still be a great team.” And great they were. In what was to be a patented U of L trademark, the full-court press created numerous turnovers by North Carolina Charlotte. U of L outscored them 26-4 at one point, and won going away, 93-76, behind a 28 point performance by All- American Griffith. It didn’t stop there. The Cards took out their frustrations on a game Western Kentucky team, winning by a comfortable 22 point margin, 96-74, to capture the Holiday Classic title. Win- ning their last two contests by 39 points had to put the Cards on cloud nine, but 72 Men's Basketball second ranked Ohio State was coming to town and the Cards, for sure, looked ready to be brought down from the heavens. With a front line consisting of 6-10 trees, Ohio State immediately set out to do what it had intended, work the ball inside against the smaller U of L front line. But someone forgot to tell the Buckeyes that the Card s may have been smaller but in no way were pushovers. With another patented scoring burst, this time a 12-0 spurt, Louisville came from behind and absolutely stunned the sellout crowd at Freedom Hall, clinching a 75-65 victory over the Buckeyes. As Griffith pointed out, “We don't have any height, but we will pour down on you.” But it was soon to rain on Louisville's parade on a trip out West, starting in Utah. For the first time during the season, U of L looked as if it had run out of gas. Their press was shakey and their defense terrible. Utah took advantage by shooting a blistering 64 percent for the game. Only the outcome was deter- mined by a last second shot by Karl Bankowski. His pump fake from the right corner drew Roger Burkman off his feet, and with one tick left on the clock, he swished home a 71-69 Utah win. So, back down to earth, the Cards faced a trip to beautiful Hawaii for the Rainbow Classic. The trip found Derek Smith being away from his family in Hogansville, Georgia for the first Christmas ever His homesickness spread to his team- mates and it seemed to show. They barely impressed anyone with a 64-53 win over Princeton. And to boot, the usually placid Crum almost duked it out with a heckler in the audience. But there was to be no pot of gold al the end of the Rainbow Classic for the Cardinals. A poor shooting game by them enabled Iilinois to breeze pas! them 77-64, but they rebounded the next night to pull out a 65-58 win over Nebraska. The Cards had to settle fol third place in the tourney and an 8-2 Overall record. The next game was to become 4s historic for Darrell Griffith as the day he announced his decision to attend Louisville. With 39 seconds elapsed of the clock, he went up with one of his OPPOSITE PAGE LEFT: Poncho Wright (44) sneaks in a layup while being fouled OPPOSITE PAGE RIGHT: David “Poncho” Wright skies over Marquette defenders to put in an early two TOP LEFT: Darrell Griffith (35) Jrives underneath the basket for a reverse layup TOP RIGHT: Wiley Brown puts two against Marquette LEFT: The two graduating seniors, Tony Branch and Darrell Griffith flank retiring school president James G Miller Men's Basketball 73 classic-form jumpers and pumped in his 1,736 career points, surpassing the record 1,734 etched into the record books by Charlie Tyra. The crowd went hysterical, paying tribute to a man who thrilled them for four years. He was given the game ball and was acknowledged by the crowd and his parents. After the din settled, the Cards blew past Tulsa 78-58, setting up a match with Kansas State, a team to be heard from in the future. Wiley Brown finally came into his own against the Jayhawks. Like a man on fire, he scored U of L's first nine points, enroute to a career high 21. Jerry Eaves sprained an ankle, thus thrusting “Mr . Clutch,” Tony Branch into the limelight.

Louisville looked like a well-oiled machine in disposing of the Bilikens. Reserve Roger Burkman canned 13 free throws, tallying 19 for the game. The full court press produced two com- bined runs totaling 38-12, and U of L blasted St. Louis 94-65. Little did anyone know at this point in time how smoothly this well-oiled machine would be running. The next contest saw Louisville play Tulane. It also saw sophomore guard Greg Deuser come in and play heads- up control ball, enabling the Cards to pull out a 76-59 win, one which was much closer in reality than on paper, They also travelled to Memphis State, disposing of the Tigers 68-49. Marquette, a perennial strong team, came to town next, and a sellout at Freedom Hall. Another patented run by Louisville, this time a 16-2 spurt, put Denny Crum in the record books with his 200 career win, and a 76-63 victory over the Warriors. The Cards next played St. Louis again. It was almost a carbon copy of the first match. The Bilikens and coach Ron Ekker must have been glad to get it over with and send Louisville out of their hair. Louisville pasted them 99-74, but the party was soon to be over as Florida State, who was picked to share a chance of capturing the Metro title along with Louisville and Virginia Tech, came up next. The Cards eked out a 79-73 victory over the Seminoles at Freedom Hall, and the toughness of the game carried over to Tulane at Tulley Gym, as the Cards barely etched out a 64-60 win in the last minutes. Whatever it was that was ailing them, they had better get it out of their systems, and soon. They travelled next to Queens, New York and a nationally televised game against 19-1 St. Johns. lf the Cards were to rest on their previous national exposure (thrashings from the Russian Nationals and Duke), it would be a very long day, indeed. Getting their first glimpse of college basketball's answer to Dr. J. (Julius Er- ving of the NBA's Philadelphia 76'ers), Griffith scored 23 points, including an electrifying monster slam that left some of the fans transfixed, at the expence of the Redmen. In the 76-71 victory, Roger Burkman displayed the scrappy hustle and defensive prowess that earned him the nickname “instant defense” from NBC commentator Al McGuire. Also, the jinx of Louisville ap- pearing on national television had seemed to dissipate. Although glad to be home again, the Cards got only 28 hours rest before an encounter with Memphis State once again. The crowd and critics wondered just how much pep St. Johns took out ot them. An unheralded 12 minute, 40- 6 point explosion stunned the crowd, the media, and even the Cards them- selves. If that wasn’t enough, on an at- tempted dunk by Memphis State, cen- ter Rodney McCray went up and literally snatched the ball from the man's hands in mid-leap. The crowd went bananas. The 88-60 pounding was a true indicator of the Card’s per- formance. Like the game agaisnt Tulsa, the next one was an historic one for Grif- fith. Taking a pass from Derek Smith, he flew upcourt and rattled home a dunk for his 2,000 career point. It was befitting he break the milestone with the shot which was to immortalize his college career.

A lackadaisical performance by Louisville spurned a 79-73 win over Providence. The next few days the Cards would spend more time on the road than on the courts. It took two plane trips and a rent-a-car to get them to Blacksburg, Virignia and showdown with Virginia Tech. In a game that saw overtime, and fit- tingly, a last second fade-away jumper from the corner by Griffith, U of L edged the Hokies 56-54, clinching at least a tie for the Metro Conference ti- tle. They next drove to Roanoke, flew to 76 Men's Basketball Richmond and Pittsburgh, and then took a bus to Morgantown, West Virginia. The dreary travel had no effect whatsoever as U of L blasted West Virginia 90-78. Griffith scored a career high 35 points and helped his team toa record 16 straight victories. A bus ride to Dayton, Ohio and a closing of its airport due to fog next met the road weary Cards. A series of mis- haps occurred to their bus enroute to Cincinnati, causing them to lose much needed rest. No problem. In front of some 1,000 fans who travelled from Louisville, the Cards edged out a 61-57 win over the Bearcats at Riverfront Coliseum. With only a day’s rest. the Cards were forced to play Virginia Tech once more. This was for the Metro title out- right, their 18th straight victory, and a 25-2 overall record. With a sellout crowd and most everyone wearing something red, the Cards were led onto the floor by a suited-up Scooter McCray. He was greeted by chants of “Scoo, Scoo, and led the team ina dunking exhibition that thrilled the crowd. The Hokies played tough, stinging defense, but fell short, 77-72. The Cards, by virtue of their victory, ad- vanced to the number two ranking in the country, (a spot that had been very unlucky throughout the year), and were headed East to New York once more.

With 30 points and an incredible 21 rebounds, lona wiped the floor at Louisville's expense, 77-60 Being brought down to earth after a memorable winning stretch, Louisville was the first Metro team ever to record a perfect season of Metro action. It went down to “Gator Alley’ in Tallahassee, beating Florida State 83- 75. It was now time for U of Lto host the Metro Tournament, and if possible, become the first team to host, and win it. The reward would be a bid to the NCAA Tournament. For the third time in the season, the Cards disposed of Memphis State and Florida State, 84-65 and 81-72 respec- tively, finishing out the Metro season at 15-0, and more importantly, getting to the NCAA tourney The Cards were to be seeded second in the NCAA's Midwest region, behind the Southeastern Conference champs, LSU, despite a better overall record than the Tigers. This did not seem to make sense and made a lot of people unhappy. Nevertheless, U of L got a first round bye, and would face Kansas State, whom they'd already beaten this year. (State defeated Arkansas in the opening round) The site was Lincoln, Nebraska. The press which Louisville lived by all season was proven ineffective, as Kansas State broke it time and again Forced into overtime, Griffith fouled out. With the score deadlocked, Crum sent in the steady Tony Branch With three seconds left, Branch worked the ball into the lane, leaned forward as if stumbling, and put up a 15-footer from the charity stripe that seemed to bounce forever on the rim before falling through the net The “Cardiac Cards” had narrowly escaped an end to their season with a 71-69 nail-biter over the Jayhawks The once forgotten Branch may have produced THE winning shot, not only for that game, but for the entire cham- pionship for U of L Earning a trip to Houston’s Summit the Cards next opponent was unheard of Texas A M. After being chewed out for “playing like a bunch of dogs” by Crum, the Cards could not afford | Men’s Basketball 77 another letdown. They almost did. Griffith hit Louisville’s first ten points, on his way to 26. U of L shot a lowly 39.7 per cent for the game, but their free throw accuracy pulled out a 66-55 victory over the Aggies, but not after some very tense moments. Two down and three to go was all that remained between U of L and a national championship. But the num- ber one seed in their region, LSU, had thoughts other than letting Louisville advance to the final four. Griffith came into foul trouble at the outset and was forced to miss 22 minutes of action. Roger Burkman, Tony Branch, and Jerry Eaves com- bined to edge U of L out front at halftime by two, on a Burkman Jumper from the perimeter at the buzzer. After intermission it was all Louisville. The enigma of the mighty LSU tigers, who twice beat Kentucky this year, had gotten blown out by 20, 86-66 and U of L was on its way to the final four, along with lowa, Purdue, and UCLA. The Cardinals, now boasting a 31-3 record, faced a relatively unknown team, lowa, who boasted a relative equal to Griffith, guard Ronnie Lester. The explosive Lester had been ham- pered by a knee injury and was not at full strength. With only 12 minutes gone, Lester was brought to the floor during a layup attempt which Burkman tried to pre- vent. Films cleared Burkman of any blame for the accident. Lester was out, and so were lowa’s dreams for an up- set. A 34 point one man show by Grif- fith pulled Louisville to an 80-72 win, and furthermore, put them into the final two for the first time in U of L basketball history. It was to be a matchup with as much irony as one could find. Coach Denny Crum, after losing his star forward in only the third game, engineered his team to a 32-3 record. The one time nemesis of the greatest coach ever, John Wooden, would confront the Bruins in the championship game. But the Bruins were directed by a different man now, Larry Brown, a one time NBA coach. All the wisdom and knowledge assimilated from Wooden had gar- nered Crum a place in the cham- pionship game. And U of L, in the past, had never beaten UCLA in the NCAA tournament, although it came close. The stage was now set. 78 Men's Basketball The first half proved to be sort of a laughter. Neither team was hitting well from the field. U of L shot 35 percent, UCLA 33, most likely displaying the tension associated with such a game. Down at halftime, Crum told his players in the locker room, “I know you're doing your best. Whatever hap- pens, | love you.” So it seemed that although down, and having come so far, the outcome would have no effect on the coach and his views towards his players, players he had nothing but praise for since the season started. With U of L coming back to improve their shooting to 59 percent, they, still found themselves down b y four, late in the game. But two defensive gems by Jerry Eaves on important layups that would have secured a UCLA victory turned out to haunt the Bruins. As they had done all year, the Cards capitalized on the Bruins’ mistakes, sank the last five points of the game, and Louisville's storybook season, coming with a 59-54 victory over UCLA, had come to a storybook end. After practically all of Louisville got the celebration out of their systems, the Cards were honored one more time in their Freedom Hall home. Close to 20,000 fans jammed in to show their appreciation to a squad that captured their hearts and their fancies. It was almost as moving a moment as the final seconds ticked away on that memorable Monday in March. The crowd paid tribute to the two departing seniors, the rest of the team, the coaches, the trainers, and even themselves. It couldn't have been a successful season without the record turnout of the fans. And after it was all over, and the proverbial dust had settled, the honors due the team, its coach, and its superstar were being logged into the record books. The Louisville Cardinals, who com- pleted their season with the best record in college basketball, 33-3, were a deserved number one in the nation.

And what may mean more to him in the long run, more than all the recogni- tion in his four years at U of L, more than all those spectacular dunks which amazed fans all across the country, more than all the millions of dollars he’s sure to make in his NBA career, is the dream he had of winning the NCAA championship, a dream which he no longer has.

The kind where victories and special achievements come hand in hand with heartbreakers and bad luck; and the 17-17 overall record does not tell the whole story. This season, coach Terry Hall and the Lady Cards faced a tough schedule. Injuries brought frustration, inner conflicts bred apathy and bad breaks disappointed all. Despite these and many other barriers, the Cards continued playing and coach Hall used every alternative at hand to bring the team through the season. Endurance and perseverance are qualities es- tablished by no little feat. Coach Hall and the Lady Cards used these qualities to finish the season with goals met and records broken. The Cards played six nationally ranked teams this year, four of which were in the top eight in the second region. They matched last year’s record with their 17 games won and like last year they were 7-5 in the K.W.I.C. tournament play. The team placed fourth in the State tournament, losing the third place game by two points. In the Metro tournament the Cards defeated St. Louis 74-45, Florida State 86-67, and Memphis State 75-72 to become Metro Champions. One high point of the season came during a Florida State game when senior Valerie Owens became the first Louisville woman player to reach past the 1000 point mark for a career high.

A new single game record for field goal accuracy was established with a .610 mark ina game against Northern Kentucky.

Swimming 9 1 TRACK ... A Record Breaking Year sy is -“- A surprisingly good Cardinal track team shot out of the blocks with strong performances in two prestigious indoor meets. In the Indiana Open, sophomore James Dandridge won the 60-yard dash while senior teammate Vic Williams captured fourth. Also turn- ing in impressive performances were seniors Bill Lowry, finishing second in the 880-yard run with a school-record time of 1:53.2, and Rick Brill, who set the new school record of 4:14.7 in the mile run. A middle distance runner also set a record, Leonard Boulware in the 600-yard run. The Indiana Relays were next, an in- vitational meet. Brill continued to lower the school record in the mile, dropping another tenth off his own mark. Donnie Pogue also set a record with a time of 50.4 in the 440-yard dash.

Bill Hampton won his meet with a school record of 6.7 seconds in the 60-yard dash and had the seventh fastest time overall. Another record went by the wayside when Dennis Sensenbrenner posted a time of 2:35.8 in the 1000-meter run. Following their fine performances in the indoor season the Cardinals raced into the outdoor season. The climax was the Metro 7 Conference cham- pionship May 9-10 at Florida State. The Cardinal Runners finished a somewhat disappointing sixth, only eight points out of fourth place. Injuries and outstanding individual performances by opponents hurt the Louisville cause. Donnie Pogue was nursing a twisted knee suffered in a pick-up basketball game and still managed to take fifth in the 400-meter dash. Cincinnati, who scored 28 points in the meet, only four more than U of L, got 20 of those points from two men. Without either of them the Cardinals would have finished ahead of the Bear- cats. The best Louisville showing was a third place finish in the 2000-meter hurdles by Chic Green. The season ended with many records being broken and a hope for an even better season to come.

Track and Cross Country 93 With a squad nearly double the size of last years’ team, the women's track team already was over the first hurdle facing the winless 1979 Cardinals. Long hours spent in the weight room and on the track paid off well for the 1980 Cardinals. The 23 member squad held most of the school records by the end of the season. Mary Lee Hartlage and Karyn Keifer split the long distance records with Hartlage holding the record in the 5000 meter run, the mile, and the metric mile, the 1500 meters. Kiefer was the holder of the 3000 meter and the two mile records. Bonnie Fon- tana was a standout in the 200 meter and 400 meter sprints, while Sherree Thomas ran the 400 meter hurdles and sprint relays. Paula Kopey was the mainstay of the field events competing in the javelin, shot putt, and long jump. Improvement was the word to describe this years women’s cross country team. Last season’s team had only two runners. This year the Cards improved to an 8-15 record with a fourth place in the KWIC cham- pionship. Sophomore Karyn Keifer won both the River Banks Run and the Citizens Fidelity three-mile race. Mary oe é ““44, IIIS I ‘ eee ee ed fs 94 Track and Cross Country Lee Hartlage and Bonnie Fontana also placed well in the River Banks Run with times of 46:46 and 46:48 respectively. Glenetta Davis also ran well for the Lady Cardinal harriers in addition to lending valuable experience to the young squad. Davis was one of the members of last year’s team. The 1979 Cardinal men’s cross country team featured more running talent than any squad in the past four years. Junior Rick Brill was the number one runner. He won the individual championship in the Hanover In- vitational with a time of 26:09 in the five-mile race. Captain Larry Veech, the second runner, was fourth in 26:25. Another senior, Bill Lowry, was a cou- ple of seconds behind in fifth place. A freshman, Dion DeMasters ran in the fourth spot for the Cards and Greg Em- bry was the fifth runner. Two other freshmen, Darrell Gonterman and Kevin Kleary, also ran well for the 25-6 Cardinals. In addition to this, U of L won the 15 team Hanover Tournament and placed third in the Bellarmine Classic.

Making A Racket Tennis was one of the teams at the University of Louisville that both men and women shared last season. The men’s team was coached by John Fritz and the women's team was coached by Joan Fielding Both coaches agree that it takes many long, hard hours to make a good player. Coach Fieldings team put in many hours in the winter in preparation which later paid off. The winter practices were designed to strengthen the doubles concept which now makes her especially happy. Many of her players put in a minimum of five to seven hours instead of the required four. The men’s team won many matches against Cincinnati, which is a_ national ranked team. These victories excelled the team to new heights. The most valuable player on the men’s team was Greg Combs, who beat the number one ranked junior. Coach Joan Fielding, summed her team up in one word, “Super” after their spec- tacular performance at the Murray State In- vitational. Her squad swept the four team meet by defeating Austin Peay 8-1, Murray State 5-4, and Northern Kentucky 8-1. The victory over Murray was the first time that U of L defeated a KWIC Division | team. Fielding sees the Cards “as a closely united, dedicated, determined team. Both coaches were pleased with their seasons and the fine performances ex- hibited by their players.

With all but one of last year's pitchers and many other starters returning, things looked rosey for the Louisville baseball team as they began their fall schedule in late Sep- tember. These hopes were realized in the climax to the 21 game fall schedule as the Cardinals won an upset championship in the Louisville Invitational. The Redbirds beat Bellarmine, who was later invited to the NCAA Division Il tournament, Xavier of ll- linois, the pre-tourney favorite and Indiana State to advance to the finals.

Several people attracted coach, Jim Zerilla’s attention with their fine defen- sive play. Transfer student Walt Cashen impressed Zerilla with his work at first base. Third baseman, Steve Kerrick was injured trying out to bare hand a line drive. He was out of action several weeks with seven stitches in his finger. The outfield has always been a Louisville strong point and this fall was no exception. Eddie Miles and Rick Siriano were excellent in right and cen- ter respectively while John Klies and Todd Davidson platooned in left field. Their winning ways continued into the spring season. A last minute coaching change was made necessary when Jim Zerilla resigned to become a scout for the major leagues. John Boles was named head coach only two weeks before the season opener against Detroit. This evidently did not matter much as the Cardinals swept the doubleheader and took 3 of 5 against the Detroit nine. U of L then won five straight including a doubleheader against Evansville in which 66 runs were scored by the two teams com- bined.

Baseball 99 Better Than Ever Another 3 for 5 spurt brought the Cards to the edge of the cliff. Lady luck looked the other way as the Cardinals managed only one victory, a 13-2 shellacking of Morehead, in their next nine games, leaving U of L all even at 12 wins and 12 losses. Many of the losses were by only one or two runs. Then Cardinal fortune turned 180 degrees as U of L went on a 16-2 streak, including a 23-1 rout of Capitol. The red hot Cardinals cooled off a bit, dropping four of their five games by a total of eight runs. Good teams won't stay down though as the Louisville nine finished their 100 Baseball season by winning eight of their final nine games including two shutouts and a four game sweep of number one, archrival Cincinnati. With a sparkling 37-19 record the Cardinals headed for the Metro Tour- nament hoping to do well, although Florida State, a national power was a prohibitive favorite in the double elimination tournament. The Cardinals had it hard from the outset as Tulane took an early lead in the first round game. Rick Sirano blasted a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to the tie game of 9 all. But, Tulane put two runs on the score board in the bottom of the ninth to drop the Cardinals into the losers bracket. The Cardinals met St. Louis, who they had beaten three of four during the regular season, in the next round. History held true as the Cardinal nine won handily 8-3. Unfortunately, that set up a game against Florida State. The Seminoles were hot and the Cardinals were not as FSU trounced U of L 13-1 and ended the Cardinal season.

For years now Coach John Dromo has been leading his team to numerous victories. The Cards placed a highly regarded second place in a tournament hosted by Eastern Kentucky this year. One of the 24 teams competing was _ sixth-ranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes beat out the Cards by only two strokes to win the tournament. In the Ball State and the Indianapolis Intercollegiate Opens, the Cards finished a respectable third place. Freshman Dennis Dolci was the key to victory in many of the tourna- ments this year. Other freshmen on the team include Mark McDaniels and Todd Lansens. Doug Ash is the only sophomore on the team. Juniors in- clude Ted Schulz and Rusty Eden. Denny Thompson, Brad Schaffner and Rich Stewart are team seniors. 102 Golf a) Opposite Page Top: Rusty Eden watches the flight of the ball as he follows through Top Left: David Combs tries for another birdie.

Once considered only for men, the game has finally come to light that women can play as good or even bet- ter. Enthusiasm for the sport during the past ten years has brought about the birth of hundreds of womens summer leagues and thousands of teams justin the Kentucky area. The enthusiasm has also brought about championships offered by the AIAW and the KIAC in women's softball. State colleges have had their programs upgraded from a club ac- tivity such as intramurals to that of a scholarship sport. And this is where the University of Louisville comes into the picture. This year was the first for women’s softball as a varsity sport at U of L. The team was coached by Terry Hall (basketball coach) who has had four years of fast-pitch and twelve years of slow-pitch experience and has been named to numerous all-star teams throughout her career. Hall feels it is about time the AIAW and other groups gave recognition to women’s softball. 104 Softball “The AIAW has sanctioned fast-pitch for several years, but they just got around to sanctioning slow pitch. | know that with the popularity of slow- pitch it seems like it would have been sanctioned long before now, but it seems like some people in power in the AIAW are the old guard types who chose to move rather slowly on things,” Hall said during an interview with Kentucky Sports World. Hall feels that with a slow-pitch game such as softball it is more of a team game since everyone has a chance to contribute. To prepare for the season coach Hall had only three partial scholarships to offer recruits, as she scouted the Louisville summer leagues. After careful selection coach Hall signed: right center fielder Lynn Stivers, left center fielder Stephanie Stiltner, and right fielder Monica Dunaway. The Cards top players were senior second baseman Alice Nickens, junior left fielder Joan Burks, and freshman left center fielder, Stephanie Stiltner, said Hall. “Alice is a strong hitter and an all around consistent player with Joan as a super outfielder and a top notch athlete (she also stars for the basketball team) and Stephanie has been a great out- fielder for us, concluded Hall in a Kentucky Sports World interview. The team had to battle the elements as well as their opponents during the seasons’ unpredictable spring weather. Although the first four games were rained out and their outdoor practices were limited, the Cards enjoyed a win- ning season of thirteen wins and only seven losses. The Cards defeated their rival, University of Kentucky all three times this season, including their opening game and during the KWIC tourna- ment. Louisville also downed Bellar- mine 13-5, to gain a 2-2 state tourna- ment record. The Cards only problem came about when they encountered Northern Ken- tucky, whose players come from the Cincinnati area. The Cincinnati area is where many of the women's national champs originate, making Northern Kentucky the team to beat. The Cards suffered five of their seven losses to Northern Kentucky. As the season came to a close it found the Cards with a season record of 11-5, state tourney record of 2-2, and an overall record of 13-5. With this as their first season the Cards did an outstanding job and it is easy to see that women's softball is “off to a good start.” SEASON RECORD Kentucky Kentucky Northern Northern Cambelilsville R= Cambellsville Bellarmine Bellarmine Murray Morehead Northern Northern Eastern Eastern Georgetown Georgetown Bellarmine Kentucky Soonmoshtonaoaunwead st O Northern Berea Opposite Page Left: Freshman Monica Dunaway stands ready to slam the ball Opposite Page: Joan Burks awaits her chance to steal a base to Left: Senior Alice Nicken runs to first b ase on a grounder Pictures compliments of Kentucky Sports World. Softball 105 INTRAMURALS... The Games Students Play = “A sport for everyone and everyone in a sport”. This motto on the door of the Intramural office is one well lived up to by Intramural staff and athletic par- ticipants alike. In its 51st year the Intramural program has continued to provide stu- dents and faculty with the athletic games they desire most. As Professor of the HPER Department and Director of Intramural-Recreational Sports, Ellis J. Mendelsohn has developed the In- tramural program to encompass all areas of skill development, benefiting students in numerous ways. The desired outcomes of the program range from physical fitness to group loyalty and judging by the number of interested and loyal participants, the recreation and challenge involved fulfill a great need. Because it is open to fraternities, sororities, independent groups, resi- dent halls, professional schools, and faculty, Intramurals helps to unify stu- dents and promote school spirit. Working along with Professor Men- delsohn are Assistant Director Charlotte Hahn, Intramural Secretary Charlene Childress and Graduate Assistants Charles Mullins and Paul Stringer. Many others are also involved in Intramurals. Coaches, referees and equipment room attendants are al l responsible for making the program run smoothly. When it comes to entertainment, ex- ercise and competition there is never a lack of something to do as long as there are Intramurals ... the games students play.

Before entering high school he moved to Lakewood Ohio, which is a suburb of Cleveland where he graduated from high school. Dr. Miller has been president of the University of Louisville since February 14, 1973. Some of his other accom- plishments are: Assistant Tutor in Psy- chology at Harvard University (1937- 38), Junior Fellow: Harvard University Society of Fellows (1938-44), Instructor in Psychology at Harvard and Radcliff College (1943), Professor of Psy- chology and Chairman; Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago (1948-55), Chairman, Com- mittee on Behavioral Sciences at the University of Chicago (1952-55), Direc- tor, Mental Health Research Institute and Professor of Psychiatry, Professor of Psychology, Mental Health Research Institute, Senior Research Psychiatrist at the University of Michigan (1955-67), Professor of Psychology at Cleveland State University (1967-71), Lecturer in Psychiatry Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Miller feels the greatest accom- plishment made during his term at the University of Louisville has been “the improvement of academic quality, greater emphasis on teaching and scholarship and the improvement of courses. Dr. Miller also feels that the University has benefited and the quality of education has been raised since it has been a State Institution compared to when it was a private institution. Dr. Miller plans to take a break from his forty-three years of teaching by tak- ing a year of Administrative Leave. He plans to leave Louisville for that year and then come back to be on the faculty at U of L. He also would like to work in developing the systems of the science field. Dr. Miller has been very pleased with his staff. He feels that the whole staff, not just the Vice-Presidents, have been very cooperative. Dr. Miller feels that he never could have done it alone and is proud that his team has been a smoother running team compared to those of other Universities. 125 Coach Crum... ...

Where as even though the University of Louisville is a state institution it still has a moral obligation and commitment to the peo- ple of Louisville. To fulfill this goal the University of Louisville should make every effort to reach out into the urban areas and provide an avenue to the road of success through higher educa- tion. With this in mind, Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity and the Student Government Association co-sponsored the “Kids on Campus program. Kids on Campus brought inner-city eighth graders on to Belknap Campus to experience college life. Mike O'Leary, the Executive Vice President of the Student Government Association and a member of TKE Fraternity, met with Louisville's eleventh ward Alderman Sharon Wilbert to discuss how the University of Louisville could better serve the inner city of Louisville Alderman Wilbert represents the historic Portland area of the west end of Louisville. Only seven percent of the children from the Portland neighborhood graduate from high school and less than two percent go on to college. The average level of educa- tion is the eighth grade. Attending college is seldom considered by the Portland teenagers. Alderman Wilbert summed it up this way: “Many Portland children have no exposure to the University or its campus, have no family members who have attended college, and often only have their teachers for role models. Because teachers are perceived to be different geographic, social and 8conomic environments, it is hard for Portland children to see themselves Capable of becoming a young Professional.” She adds, “We feel that then children have a potential for learn- ing and that they might benefit from ex- Posure to university life, classes, Campus and social activities.” In discussing how to set up the program, O'Leary, Jeanine Petersen, and Anita Sparrow identified three commonly held misconceptions about college: 1. Only the superior intellects attend college. 2. Only the rich can afford college. 3. All the students do is attend classes and study their text books. O'Leary, Petersen, and Sparrow felt that changing these three misconcep- tions would be their goal with the “Kids on Campus program. It was decided that the first program would have a group of sixteen inner city children. The kids would be divided into eight groups of two. For each two kids there would be one college student to act as a “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” for the day. When they came on campus the whole group would eat lunch together in the main cafeteria. After lunch, the “Big Brother or Big Sister” would take the younger students with them for a very personalized tour of the University of Louisville. As soon as the initial plan had been designed, O'Leary, Petersen and Sparrow had to determine who would be the Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Keeping in mind their goal, as they looked within the Student Government Association and the Greek Brotherhoods and Sisterhoods for help. For the first group they chose the following people: Jeanine Petersen: Services Vice- President of the Student Government Association and an Active member of Delta Zeta Sorority. Anita Sparrow: Arts and Science representative and a member of Delta Zeta Sorority. Leah Simon: Student Senator from Arts and Science. Gregg Tierney: Student Senator and Vice-President of the Arts and Sciences Student Council, and an Ac- tive member of Delta Upsilon Frater- nity. 137 138 Debbie Shiffman: member of Chi Omega Sorority. Phil Travis: member of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. Marilyn Quinn: University College Student Representative. Lambert Jemley: Vice-President Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. In charge of transportation for the “Kids on Campus” program was David Secor ... a member of Tau Kappa Ep- silon Fraternity. With the Big Brothers and Big Sisters chosen and O'Leary as coor- dinator, Alderman Wilbert was asked to suggest the appropriate inner city school, Eighth Graders from Western Middle and Community Catholic grade Schools were suggested. Rather than high school seniors, Alderman Wilbert suggested eighth graders. The reason behind her decision was that many youngsters in her area drop out of school at the age of sixteen. They feel that a job pumping gas for a hundred dollars a week is more important than staying in school. College seems so un- realisitic to them that they have no am- bition to stay in school. It is the eighth graders, Alderman Wilbert wanted to be exposed to the University because very soon they would be faced with the dilemma of dropping out of school. On February 20 the first “Kids on Campus” day occurred. O'Leary was notified by President Miller's office that even though President Miller was out of town, Dr. Extrom, the Executive Vice- President of the University, would like to offically greet the young students when they arrived on campus. So the first step at U of L for the students was at the Administration Building, where Dr. Extrom, on behalf of the University of Louisville, welcomed them to U of L. The Grand Prytins of Tau Kappa Ep- silon, (also the University of Louisville Alumn) Rodney Williams felt that it was important to meet these youngsters also, and with Dr. Extrom offically welcomed them. From the Administration Building, the eighth graders along with their Big Brothers and Sisters went to the main cafeteria to eat lunch. The big Brothers and Sisters had time to talk with the kids and find out their particular in- terests. Even the cafeteria was an un- usual experience for them; the long lines, slow service, and lousy food. O'Leary, Petersen and Sparrow could have arranged special service, but they wanted the younger students to be able to stand in line and chit-chat with the college students. In this way they could have inner action with college students on an informal basis. After lunch the large group broke into the smaller groups of one college student to every two eighth graders. By now the “Big Brothers and Big Sisters had an idea of what interested their “Little Brothers and “Little Sisters.” They had three and a half hours to see the campus. Some groups went to the chemistry labs and were able to watch actual ex- periments underway. They visited the CARDINAL office and saw how a college news paper was run. They visited the Speed Museum, the Planetarium, Speed Scientific School, WLCV — the student Radio Station, the MINERVA yearbook office, the Arts and Science Advising office, Crawford Gym with the pool, handball courts, and basketball courts, the weight lifting room and various classrooms. Big Brothers and Big Sisters took the youngsters to the dorms. They were able to talk to dorm residents and see how college students live. The Frater- nities and sororities invited the eighth g raders into their houses to show them the “Greek Life”. The sisters of Chi Omega Sorority had refreshments for them and gave them a special presen- tation in honor of their visit. At the end of the day, everyone met at the Red Barn. George Howe went all out for the kids. He served them pop- corn and cokes, showed them the facilities, and talked and answered 139 140 questions about the Red Barn and the University of Louisville. Stu Stram quarter back for the Fighting CAR- DINALS was there and so was Chi Omega Sorority sister Julie Hall, dressed in her costume as the Cardinal Bird. Since the groups were very small and very personalized the ‘Big Brothers and Big Sisters” were able to informally point out several things: College life is not all that “awesome.” Sure there were “super smart” people who had gone through grade school and high school with the same grades and pressures that they were experien- cing. The younger students could tell by talking with the college students that the average college student is not rich. The “Big Brothers and Big Sisters” were able to explain that Financial Aid is available to nearly all students and in fact almost all students received some sort of aid or another. The most ob- vious to the eighth graders was that college students do not spend all their time in class and studying their text books. By visiting the dorms, Greeks, and the Red Barn, they were shown that college can be the most exciting time in their life. O'Leary had a state- ment to express this thought, “In college, you're old enough to know bet- ter but young enough to do it and enjoy i The first “Kids on Campus” was a great success. The eighth graders went home very excited. They told their friends about the University of Louisville and all the things they were going to get involved in when they come to the University of Louisville. The College students were excited to participate in such a personal and rewarding program. The Administra- tion was excited because it was great Public Relations for them and it was contributing to the “Urban Mission.” O'Leary continued with Western Middle and Community Catholic schools. Debbie Shiffman, who was student teaching at Noe Middle School, was asked to arrange to have their seventh and eighth graders go through the new program. Several other organizations asked to have their kids participate. The Greeks on campus responded in a terrific way. All of the fraternities and sororities on campus provided man power for being Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Many members of Student Government asked to help out. The University Administration provided en- couragement and a van to pick up the kids from their schools. Every time O'Leary had a group on campus Dr. Extrom made time in his busy schedule to have the young students come to his office so that he could talk to them. By the end of the school year, nearly five hundred inner city kids had gone through the “Kids on Campus” program. In his address to the Student Senate, O'Leary explained, “What we have done is planted a seed. We may not see much of a change at first because it needs time to grow. But... someday we may look up and see a very strong and beautiful individual blossom. We at the yearbook, would like to ex- tend encouragement to the Student Government Association to continue the project that O'Leary started. We feel that they not only have begun to fullfill the “Urban Mission,” but that they have also helped the children of the city of Louisville to have a choice of in what is to become of their Future. 141 College Republicans... . The College Republican Movement at U. of L. is an exciting, dynamic group of students committed to political action in the Republican Party. They're in- volved in political activities at all levels — national, state, local, and campus. Voter registration, can- vassing, headquarters work, debates, literature dis- tribution, research, speaking — these are just a few of the ways College Republicans make their voices heard. But the College Republican movement is more than campaigning. It's meeting with local and national office holders and exchanging views on current issues. It's social and community programs. It's conventions and rallies. It's picnics and dinners and dances and parties. It's getting to know other students. The U. of L. College Republicans are affiliated with the Kentucky College Republican Federation and the College Republican National Committee, which links them with over 150,000 college students in clubs on more than a thousand campuses.
