Wooden Says Title Up for Grabs
By DON BAKER
Kansan Sports Editor
UCLA's Johnny Wooden admits his number one ranked Bruns probably should play the favorite's role in this week's NCAA basketball championships in Houston. But he hastens to add that it's anybody's ball game and that all four teams could emerge the winner.
THE BRUNES, 27-1, will meet Kansas, also 27-1, in the 8:40 p.m. contest Thursday from the Astrodome. The game, to be televised locally, will follow a 6:40 p.m. encounter between Villanova, 26-6, and Western Kentucky, 23-5.
"I suppose since we are the defending champions and are number one in the polls we should be favored," he said from Los Angeles Tuesday in a four-way telephone news conference of the other three finalists. "But I don't feel this is any different than any other."
"Certainly what we did last year or the year before or the year before that won't help us," Wooden said. "This team has to get out and establish its own identity. I don't feel we have
anything to live up to. We are just going to try to
the best we can as a team."

Looking to the Jayhawks, Wooden's tone of conversation over the week has changed slightly. Monday he said a team with 6-10 frontliners could not be very quick or fast. But, apparently after viewing the scouting report, his attitude has changed some.
"THEY'RE A VERY strong team, he said of the fourth ranked Jayhawks. "They're very strong and very quick for the size they have.
"I think they'll be very tough to beat. We're just going to play your ball game and hope it is good enough to win. If it isn't someone else will."
KU coach Ted Wenshaw has said his team play great basketball if it hopes to derail all of the playoffs.
"OUR BEST CHANCE of beating UCLA is to be loose and aggressive," he figured before warning that KU can not be overly cautious. "If you want to win, we have the game then you're going to be tight as a drum. Out of necessity we can not be tight. We just have to fight as hard as we can because we know we're gonna lose. I believe our players are realistic enough to know they can't go into the game tight."
The game shapes up as being extremely physical as both squads have been compared to their regular line of UCLA will comprise Curtis Rose (6-4) and at least 6-4 forwards with 6-9 Steve Patterson at a
piritorship. A problem for kU has been tightness and Owens is emphatic KU must escape this if it is to win its 22nd straight game of the year.

Owens was asked how he would attempt to stop UCLA's formidable trial and his answer
"Nobody has been able to sleep them in three years," he reasoned. "但 we hope to reduce the number of people with insomnia."
"We've had teams use a zone, a chaser and a box, one night even two chasers - on McDaniels and John Rose. they have used it to get the players man-for-man defenses." Oldham said.
THE FIRST GAME on schedule Thursday night will pit two eastern powers - Western Union and China.

Soph Neumann Goes Professional
Coach Ted Owens of Kansas says he will have to keep UCLA from getting that second and third shots if his team hopes to win. He has the skills, but he can't score on Bateo and 6-10, 252-pound Brown.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ENI) - Johnny Neumann, some $2 million richer and with a "no cut, tive year contract," is expected to take part in half-time "signing" ceremonies tonight at the Pro-Dezember American Association game at the Mid-South Coliseum.
Many suspect, however, that Neumann, the nation's college basketball scoring leader from the University of Mississippi, already has signed with the Memphis club.
"After watching Villanova beat Penn (the team) we may not even show up. That was fantastic. That's the best team effort I've ever seen."
The Wildcat-Hiltopp game figures to be more of a run-and-shoot affair than the KU-
THE PERFORMANCE WAS so impressive that Western Kentucky coach John Oldham joked his team might not even show up for the 6:40 battle.
The agreement was announced in New York Tuesday by ABA Commission Jack Delph, who said the contract was approved by the league's board of trustees in light of a Supreme Court judge's decision that a draft limited to seniors was in violation of anti-trust laws.
In an interview with the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Neumann said playing professional basketball was his lifelong dream.
"I HOPE WE CAN run in an intelligent manner," Kraft said. If we give the fast break I hope we try it. But if we haven't got it I hope we don't try to force it."
Oldham said his team will run regardless.
"We really don't have a whole lot of discipline," he said. "We just get it and go. We run with it and have a lot of fun."
However, Commissioner Walter Kennedy of the rival National Basketball Association announced Tuesday that under-graduates will not be eligible for his league's 1912 college player draft on Monday, Kennedy met Monday with the NBA's Board of Governors.
Neumann, the 6-4 sophomore forward who averaged 40.1 points per game, told the Daily Star that he was "not afraid" of playing
