Marquette Stunned, Kentucky Routed
Surprises Mark Thursday's NCAA Regional Play
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
UCLA's methodical NCAA express churned on, but that was the only thing predictable in the event of a high-profile death.
Surprise was the name of the game and there were shocks in all four regions.
There was Ohio State, the Big Ten champion, upseting second-ranked Marquee 60-59, ending the Warriors' 29-game winning streak, and Western Kentucky routing them 107-43, the worst tournament beating ever for Adolph Rupp's Wildcats in the Midwest.
There was Bobby Jones holding Player of the Year Austin Carlin well below his season's average as Drake outstretched Notre Dame 78-21 to rally to stop Houston 87-77 in the Midwest.
There was Long, Beach State coming back from a 13-point deficit at halftime to beat inspired University of the Pacific 78-65 in the West.
And finally there was undefeated and underrated Pennsylvania stopping South Carolina 79-64 to set up a "Philadelphia final" win. The next game Vilamora, an 85-75 runner-up of Fordham.
UCLA, learning for a fifth consecutive NCAA basketball title, looked ready as it steamerrolled Brigham Young, 91-73. The Bruins, the nation's number one team, will meet Long Beach State in Saturday's Western Conference final. The winnup in other regional finals, Kansas will face Drake and Western Kentucky tangles with Ohio State.

The winners will advance to Houston for the national semifinals next Thursday and the team will play in the final.
The Bruins, with a perfectly balanced attack, get 15 points from Henry Bibby, 14 from Sidney Wicks and 13 each from Curtis Rowe and Steve Patterson.
Jerry Tarkianan, the Long Beach coach, is anxious for a rematch. "Everybody wants to play the number one team and there's no doubt about it, UCLA is number one," said Elaine Lomber, the club stumble early in the game and be bound with a devastating pressing defense.
Fred Taylor, the Ohio State coach, felt his club was "intimidated" on the boards by Marquette, but was happy with the result. Marquette suffered a crushing blow when Dean Meninger, the Warriors' star guard, passed through minutes left and Marquette five points ahead.
"They were 'well prepared,' said Marquette coach Al McGeeau. "They did their thing. We won 39 in a row and we won some games, but our team was run at it this year and we host be back."
Western Kentucky absolutely humiliated Kentucky in the first meeting, ever between
the two clubs despite their proximity. Jim McDaniels poured in 35 points and Jim Rose had 25 as the Hillippons move out to a 13-2 victory over that to 13-0 outward through the second half.
Another McGure, South Carolina coad Frank, also was unhappy as he saw his tear fall before a well-honed Penn attack. "Pen plaed a great ball game." said McGure.

"They outplayed us and they deserved to win. In a game like this, whoever gets three or four points ahead in the second half will be our best team, they're the best team we've faced all year."
Penn, led by Bob Morse's 28-point effort, hit 31 of 35 shots to win.
Howard Porter scored 25 points to lead Villanova past understored Fordham to set up the all-Philadelphia final. Penn beat Villanova 78-72 regular season play.
Drake used Jones and Al Sakys, a pair of 6-1 guards, to beat Notre Dame, Jones had Carr to 26 points, 12 below his average, and Sakys ticed the game with five seconds left and triggered an overtime burst that carried the Bulldogs past the fighting Irish.
Dave Robish hit 17 points in the first half and junior Bud Stallworth hit seven points in an 11-point burst that pulled Kansas ahead of Houston.
"Kansas just had too many guns for us," said Cougar coach Guv Lewis.

Drake will go into the finals on Saturday afternoon after fourth-ranked Kansas in Wichita State's Henry Levitt arena with a 21-7 season mark. Notre Dame, who will take on Houston for third place on Saturday, stands 20-8.
Austin Carr, a 6-3 guard rated college basketball's top player by UPI, was held to 25 points, nine below his season average, by Drake's 6-0 Bobby Jones, Maury John, Drake's coach, praised Jones for his defensive play after the game.
"He did a tremendous job on Carr. Carr earned every one of his 26 points." John said, smiling. He wore a white shirt and Halliburton on Carr but Jones asked to be assigned to the All-American. He shadowed Carr all night, stealing the ball from him several times and allowing Carr few open calls.
Torn Bush, 64 center, led the Buldogs with 19 points but he got help from Haliburton with 12 and Sakys and Leo Huff with 15 each. Drake led Notre Dame in shooting percentage, 38.4-34.1, in rebounds, 63-87, but fell down at the charity stripe. Notre Dame hit 16 of 22 free throws for 72.7 per cent while Drake could manage only 13 out of 36.
"I think our optional sets are pretty much ahead of everyone except Iowa State." Lockwood said, "but the compulsors will be tough."
The Jayhawks were third in the Big Eight a year ago with 186.15 points, trailing Iowa 27-13.
"They've come off the bench before and done the job," Coach John said.
"And what about the other half of the duo?" "That Stallworth is the guy we were fearing and loves me," he's "w't tough to contain for 40 minutes. They'r just got too many guns for us, that'r all."
We also played a very poor defensive game.
Leading the Kansas contingent is Kirk Gardner, Atchison senior, defending - champion in still rings and the Jahwahks' only Bie Eight champion his history. He holds
The Cougars suffered from poor shooting (although they outshot KU) and this was part of their weakness.
Drake's front line continually beat Notre Dame to the boards and their backcount of Sakys and Jones led in forcing 20 Irish turnovers.
Notre Dame's coach Johnny Dee also praised Drake's reserves.
Drake's bench played a large part in the victory, Sakka fouled out with 3.47 left in the overtime, following Huff and Halliburton who held off Jake from Darnell. Reserves held on the lead to drench the Irish.
"You can't take a thing away from Drake, they played a fine game. But I thought we were a little flat. Tonight's game was the first time that money that nobody had a good game for us."
"You have to give a lot of credit to the brake players who came off the bench and the rookies," he said.
"We gang rebounded the boards and blew out as much as possible," John said.
Rich Schubert, Lawrence junior, finished third in the side horse competition in 1970. His current season average, 9.05, places him third behind the averages of Iowa State's Russ Hoffman, 9.3, and Oklahoma's Wayne Crockett, 9.1. Schubert has twice recently tied his Gillipiaceus KU record of 8.53, however, he considerably better than Crockett's best, 9.2.

than that and save it in the regional. BEING TIGHT HAS BEEN a problem of late for Kansas and Owens concurred this again plagued the Jayhawks' efforts.
Gerald Carley, Wichita senior, Kansas record-holder in the high bar with a 9.4, will seek an individual title after taking second to Iowa State's Simmons in 1970. The going will be tough for Carley because his 9.4 best is one of the current season average in the hulb bar event.
"Yes, we were tight but I thought they'd be loose," he said. "This has been a painful lesson."
Marc Joseph, Lawrence sophomore, who had recently broken a bone is his right hand and was thought to be out for the rest of the day, with recovery and will be working the parallel bars.
Other KU performers returning who scored in 1970 are John Brouillett, Wichita senior, fifth in all-around, and Dan Bradfield, Lawrencian senior, eighth in floor exercise and jersey.
I just feel most fortunate to play no better than this and have a chance in the regional."
Poor shooting was only part of Karaas' problems as once again the dayhawks played with the Sox. The team lost to
Lockwood is not counting out the possibility of topping Iowa State for the conference title. The chances are slim, however, because Iowa State's season average in team score, 161.75, is better than any team score in Kansas history.
WICHTA-Guy Lewis was a picture of dejection. His Houston Cougar club had just given fourth-ranked Kansas everything it wanted yet for the second time this year fell behind Iowa. The only consolation was this loss was by one, 67-77, where the first one was by 16, 89-73.
"He 'tie me to gou-ful." Lewis assessed. "He's one hell of a free throw shooter under pressure."
AND THE COUGARS MAY have done just that had it not been for KU's Dave Bobish and Bud Stallworth. The two combined for 54 points and the score of all the Hawks' last 16 points. The last seven were all free throws by Robisch and came in the last two minutes.
"I was not expecting them to blow us out," he began in analyzing the game. "I may of said it but I did not mean it—we expected to win."
"It's a one-shot法," said Lockwood.
"Nobody knows how you'll score in them until the meet. It will just depend on who has the athletes who respond to the competition."

"We didn't have must patience on our team," he began in analyzing what KU did poorly. We didn't penetrate the zone very well and I didn't think we played very well on defense.

"Iowa State must be easily considered the favorite," said Kansas coach Bob Lockwood. "They need to be able to optionals that the rest of us in the league and they have been able to concentrate more or less."
It was the 20th straight win for KU and its 26th in 27 outings but there is no time to celebrate as now Drake loops as the final KANSAS roadblock in the Jayhawks' path to Houston HOUSTON
"I'm just relieved this is over and I haven't had time to think that far ahead," Owens said before analyzing the Missouri Valley champions. "They are going to be very difficult for us to play. Drake is probably the quickest team we've played all year and this concerns us. They have some assets were going to try and take away."
