...season. Forward Pat Riley has boosted his scoring average 5.6 points to 20.8. And Guard Tommy Kron has turned into a tiger on the backboards-thanks to a Rupp-prescribed weight-lifting program to develop his pushing muscles. The big new addition is 6-ft. 5-in. Sophomore Center Thad Jaracz, a local boy from Lexington who put in an undistinguished year on Kentucky's freshman team last season. Rupp took a chance on Thad, and it paid off. By scoring 16.7 points a game, Jaracz has lightened the defensive pressure on Dampier and Riley...
