Win Pleases Wooden, 24 Turnovers Don't
By NOBLE COSGROVE Kansas Sports Writer
HOUSTON-John Wooden, who better resembles a grandfather than the college coach of the decade, strolled into a formal press conference after UCLA's win over Kansas and said that he was pleased about the outcome of the game.
"It was very pleasing," coach Wooden said, but "I was unset about the turnovers."
UCLA did have far more turnovers in that game than they have recently had and Wooden attributed much of their trouble to the aggressiveness of KU.
"He was a very tough game for both teams," Wooden said, "but I thought we had een chance to win."
A collection of about 150 pressmen submerged both coaches with numerous questions but it was coach Wooden who was the subject and his answers even reverted to some humor.
On a more serious note, Wooden praised his players for the fine job they did against a team that played hard but was unable to connect from the foul line.
"I thought Curtis Rowe had (6-1 for his finest games)," he said. "And Wicke had (6-4 forward) in the first game."
Before the game, Wooden made no hesitation about admitting that he was more
"The game is over now and we have to look ahead to Villanova," Wooden said, "but I'm ready."
Comments on the Villanova-Western Kentucky game were next in line, and Washington was second.
"I was very impressed with the way Villanova played," he said, "and of course the game they played against Pennsylvania was one of the best I've ever watched."
If UCLA shall go on to best Villanova in Saturday's game, then this would be their sixth NCAA title in the last seven years. This was brought up along with attempts to compel the Bruins head coach to comment on the comparison of his wins winning to his 1971 squad.

"I can't and don't want to comment on that at this time," Wooden said, "but I will say that the other teams were no better defensively."
Question and answer time was over now for coach John Wooden and it was time for him to return to the UCLA locker room to personally congratulate his players. However, the final task still awaits and the Bruins will have little time to rejoice their victory.

Freethrowing, Rebounding Hurt Hawks in Loss to UCLA Bruins
HOUSTON—It was a tough loss, something KU has not become accustomed to this season. The almighty Bruins from UCLA ran past the hopeful Kansas Jayhawks, 68-60, and KU players and fans likely will play the game over and over again in their minds for some time to come.

It was an ideal time for Kansas to pull the upset it wanted. UCLA did not, by its standards, play well. But, unfortunately, neither did the Jayhawks. Numerous KU opportunities slipped by without being taken advantage of and against a team like Bruins you can't do that and hope to win. Where were the Jayhawks hurt the most?

But then a play Owens felt was crucial occurred and it marked the start of KU's downfall. The play was a Kansas steal and basket by Dave Robash off the Jayhawks full-court zone press. The basket would have put the Hawks ahead but Robisch was called for traveling and the two-pointer was nullified.
"They hit their first few fists and we fell behind," Owens said, "but we fought back
and tied it and then Dave hit that shot which I felt may have given us the lift we needed but the official felt he traveled."
New Kansas must face the task of getting up for Saturdays third place game with Western Kentucky. Third place games are generally unpopular with players and coaches but Owens is confident the Jayhawks will respond well.
"It it's awfully hard to get up for a third place game," he said. "But we have a lot of pride and I will be disappointed if we do not respond. Well, let's just say I don't like it." So I went to the gym with a lot of difference between being third in the nation and fourth in the nation."
It's been a long but rewarding year for Kansas and finishing third would be no disgrace. A win would put the Jayhawks at 28-2 for the year and going out a winner seems only appropriate for the year it has been.
Villanova Slips By Hilltoppers
By NOBLE COSGROVE Kansan Sports Writer
The first period found Villanova using the zone press and Western Kentucky going with the man-for-man coverage. Although each seemed to easily break the other's defense, the shots were following for neither.
HOUSTON—It took two overtures for Villanova to stop Western Kentucky, but when if finally came to a conclusion, it was clear that Villanova its chance to play in the finals.
The big man in both size and points for Villanova was 6-7 center Hank Siemionkowski, and if he wasn't responsible for the basket, he was the man that setup the篮板 with a career high of 31 points. Siemionkowski played his best overall game.
"Hank has been taking that shot (from the top of the key) and hitting it frequently," coach Jack Kraft said. "It felt like he would hurt if he hadn't done a such fine job."

rebounded. Western Kentucky, 23-6, and ranked seventy nationally, lost 7-foot Jim McDaniels on fouls with 2:31 of the second overtime with the Wildcats trailing 89-87. McDaniels finished with 22 points and 17 rebounds.
Villanova, 27.6, lost Siemianikowski, in the final four seconds of regulation time when he committed his fifth foul against Jerry Dunn with the score tied 74-all.
The first half ended with Villanova ahead by three, 39-36, and a one-word description of this first period would be "physical." Both teams began to have trouble bringing the ball down court and the rough contact under the boards caused many a missed shot and numerous turnovers.
"all players on both teams were very aggressive," coach Oldham said. "I thought Villanova was extremely muscular under the boards."

Each team exchanged baskets one-for-1 until the middle of the first overtime. Then it was Villanova taking the slight edge in the second half, and they seemed to have the game wrapped up. A last minute poorly-timed shot turned the ball over to Western Kentucky and they were able to take advantage and force a closely delayed game into another overtime.
The final period of play was dominated by Villanova and their three point margin of victory was only threatened during the closing moments of the second overtime. "It's a credit to Western Kentucky for not quitting," coach Jack Kraft said, "and I believe our boys deserve a slap on the back for not quitting either."

Rice Petrocello's two-run single was the big blow of a five-ran eight-inning rally which gave the Red Sox their victory. George Scott honored for the Red Sox while Luis Meladez connected for the Cardinals.
On other fronts: Tony Congiariano's third single of the game climaxed a three-run ninth-inning rally which lifted the California Angels to a 74 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. Alex Johnson, huttling all the way after his recent fine by Manager Leffy Phillips, scored the run win when second baseman John Donaldson lobbed the relay from the outfield on Carlo Giacconi's hit.

Georgia Tech, N. Carolina To Meet in N.I.T. Finals
NEW YORK (UP1) - It's a tossup whether Paul Hoffman's trip down nightmare alley that cost St. Bonaventure a shot at the top of the Tournament title will be worse than the bad dream Georgia Tech is expected to live through after meeting North Carolina in November.
hompson championship game, Huffman throws with no time left in the first overtime Thursday night and Tech went on to beat the team for the national semifinal session of their semifinal match. A fast-breaking North Carolina team entered the title bracket by defeating Duke, 79-67, in the other semifinal.
"It’s simply ‘mighty nightman’."
He chose to chance to win for St. Bruno, who usually hit 70-80 per cent of his foul shots. One thing for sure, I feel it was a good choice.
The NIT, dubbed the tournament of losers because the second bests and conference also-rans receive the invitations, is a cinderella step for Tech, which ran off a 13-14 record in the past. Then she skipped. A fine recovery earned the Engineera a tournay ride.
Tech reached the title round by beating LaSalle, Michigan and the Bonnies. The Engineers next game, however, resurrects the title record with North Carolina in which the Tar Heels beat Tech by 29 points.
"There's no way on paper we should beat North Carolina," says Tech coach Whack Hyder "but pressure we the big games
for us in this tournament."
Tech never actually scored a basket in its second overtime play, and it was one goal-bending call against Si Gonaveu and an invitation to make a move.
Jim Thorne led tech with 27 points and Rich Yorks added 19 points. Jake Braidgreed to a title shot. Carl Jackson paced the Bonnes with 60 points.
North Carolina made it three wins in four starts this season against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents, and opened the game with 10 straight points midway in the second half for a 32-24 lead. The closest Duke victory was in 2015.

Tennis Team to Face Kansas State Saturday
The Jayhawk tennis team will meet the Wildcats of Kansas State in dual play on the courts behind Allen Field House at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. K-State has been rated one of the top teams in the Big Eight and should be tough enough to beat the Kansas squad.
Poor weather resulted in the postponement of a dual meet that was scheduled for Wednesday with Emporia on Thursday. KU has no indoor facilities for women and the large snow fall Wednesdays were their outdoor courts unplayable.
Lockwood said he was determined to play even if weather conditions should again be poor.
said that today the courts would be cleared of any remaining snow and that the wind would then dry them. He said that if it should rain, he would be able to squeeze the court to a satisfactory condition.
The meet with Emporia that was postponed Thursday has been rescheduled for April 5th.
"Our team needs the experience and the games," Lockwood said, "particularly against a conference school."
