6 Tuesday, March 26, 1974 University Daily Kansan Walton & Co.Too Much for KU in 78-61 Win By GERALD EWING KamanSports Editor GREENSBORO, N.C.-A. good first half alone doesn't win many ball games, as the University of Kansas found out last night. The Jahawys saw their super first-half play, which game them a lead of 38-1, in a crushing 76-81 defeat at the hands of After intermission, KU simply went cold from the field. The Hawks, normally a good shooting team, hit on only 28.6 per cent of its shots in the second half. The team had a lot of open jumpshots from 10 to 15 feet away but just couldn't make them. KU held its lead for the first five minutes of the second half, but a UCLA onlaught led by Dwayne Meyera Turovichny, Bill Kunz and Jeff GrimesPranks a 14-point lead with 10:30 remaining. After the half, KU pushed its lead to 41-31 on a short jump shot by Norm Cook and a free throw by Roger Merringston, but that was not enough to win. UCLA pulled to a 41-41 tie on two Turgucwish layup, a layup by Meyers and two long shots by Wilkes. Then KU went into a cold gell it couldn't shake off. After the score was tied again at 43-43, UCLA reeled off 14 straight points and took a lake over. The 14-point barrage was begun by Meyers, who played one of his better all-round games. He hit a drive lapup after a full court pass from a substitute guard, Andre McCarter. That made it 45-53 with a little more than 14 minutes left. Walton then hit an incredible spinning lapup and Turgovich followed with a driving lapup to make it 49-43. A short bank shot by Marques Johnson and another Walton layup—the final two points of his career—made it 53-43 with 11.27 left. Walton left the game seven seconds later to a standing ovation. But Walton's exit didn't stop the Bruins' substitutes from rolling on. Johnson hit a baseline jump shot and McCarter got a lapup after a steal to give Banks a 2-0 lead.

"Man, you're not gonna get mine," replied Rionton, who latter told newsman: "He's the heavyweight champion. He ought to have a whole factory full of trunks."

"We missed a lot of inside shots. They are an intimidating team. It was intimidation that helped beat us, but the cold spell hurt us worse. By the time we started to hit again we were too far behind." In the final nine minutes of play, the Jayhawks tried desperately to come back but were matched basket for basket by the fresh Brun substitutes. KU closed the gap to 10 points several times but were never able to get closer than eight, at 2:35. The distressing aspect of the result was the KU had dominated play in the first half, and As Roger Mornstaring said, UCLA had been playing a long time before it finally padded ahead. Three laysups by Bob Webb in the final 92 seconds gave UCLA the 17-point margin of Hang in there he's coming Rumors that UCLA's four start seniors wouldn't put but return to the West Coast instead were proved wrong when the four, Walton, Wilkes, Greg Lee and Tommy Brady were selected. They played much of the first half but were taken out early in the second half. "We wanted to play their best," Norma said. "They had a lot of stuff they had! They played, and I glad they did." Torn Kivisto, who played his last game for kU, said he had a lot ofrespect for him. "He did a good deed to play." "I'm really appreciative of Walton, Wilkes and the other seniors for playing," Kivisto said. "I would have felt very disappointed if they hadn't." Even though KU lost, the players said they had redeemed themselves for Saturday's "I think we showed we're a good team.

Last night KU coach Ted Owens indicated that might not be a bad theme for next year's basketball team. This time, though, he announced a winning-lost game with the NCAA finals in the NCAA finale again. "Thanks, all of you, and I hope we have a chance to be before you again." Owens told the press at the end of his post-game interview. the press at the end of his pro-gregante news fly. The allusion to next year's tournament in San Diego was obvious. The admission to next year's tournament in Brooklyn was on Wednesday. Last night the 78-61 loss to UCLA was in many respects a repeat of the Jayhawks' loss Saturday to Marquette. Athletics there were a lot of happy Kansas fans in Greensboro Coliseum. By the end of the game, those fans were unhappy. For the second game in a row the 'Hawks simply folded after intermission. After roaring to a 38-31 halftime lead, KU was accrued 26-5 by UCLA in the first 11 minutes of play. "we're a good shooting team and we had a lot of good 10, 12 and 15-foot uncontested shots and they just didn't go in," said Owens about the slump. UCLA had a little something to do with the 'Hawks being off target, however. "I thought we applied a little better defensive pressure and we cut down on our turnovers for a spell, "said UIL Coach John Wooden in explaining the Bruins' comeback. "In the second half I wanted them to play with a little more intensity and play as if they were playing for the national championship and not in a convalation game," he said. "Regardless of the outcome of the game I wanted the team to come off the court with a great deal of pride." Pride was a commodity Owens was also seeking, and according to him, he got it. "It tent indicated in the score. but I walked off with a great deal more pride and felt Owens said he found out yesterday afternoon when he talked to Wooden that the Brain services would play in the consultation game. It isn't indicated in the score, but I made the same press note and much better for our team than after the Marquette game," he said. "Wade to Wooden that the Brain "I'm immensely pleased that the UCLA seniors played," Owens said after the game. "It'll grant a great deal to our ball players." The fact that Bill Walton, Keith Wilkes and the other UCLA seniors played also meant KUUs chances of winning were minimal. Owens knew that he and he admitted it after the game. Fourth place in a four-team tournament is always bad, but the NCAA finals have to be the best place to finish last, and the national exposure KU has received the past few days of competition. "We aren't ready, obviously, to be a national champion," he said. "We're a cut below that." "That's what so many young people want to do is have a chance to play the final four," Owens said. There's a good chance they'll get it if they come to KU. Morningsr agreed and added that fourth place wasn't bad when you con- $\textcircled{1}$ "THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE" UCLA had to really hustle to beat us." Greenlee said.
