BERKELEY, Dec. 2i1--Although Bob McKeen has taken a early lead in the California

individual scoring honors race, he is being vressed closely by soohomore ace Larry
Friend. Official statistics released today show McKeen with a total of 9h voints and
Friend with 91. This adds uw to a 15.7 voint per game average for McKeen and 25.2
for Friend, for the initial six contests,

Meanwhile, the same figures show that one of the vrimary reasons for California's
early success is defensive stiffness rather than offensive punch, Defensively the
Bears have allowed only 54.2 noints ver game, while last season the opposition
aggregate was 59.5 ver outing, The offensive mark of 62,2 ver _ is just slightly
under the 195). mark of 6.6.

Couvled with defensive abilities is California's strength on the backboards,
having snagged 277 of 51) available rebounds, while the onvosition has nailed but
237. This figure represents a 53.9 efficiency comared to 6,1 ner cents
