SMU Enters Regional With12-0 League Mark
The SMU Mustangs, possibly the best-balanced team in the regional tournament, meet Houston's Cougars tonight in what will probably be their stiffest test since dropping an early season decision to Minnesota. 80 to 62.
Since then, Doc Hayes' Mustangs have lost but one other game, that to KU in Allen Field House 62-58. SMU owns a perfect conference record of 12 victories, the first team to achieve such a record since the 1947 Texas Longhorns.
Krebs Seventh High
There was hardly a game played by SMU this season in which at least three, and often four players, didn't score in double column figures. About the only exception to this was the TCU game which SMU won 26 to 22.
But despite their balance, the Mustangs had one man who placed among the top 10 scorers in the Southwest Conference, that being Krebs, who was 7th with 213 points in 12 games. All five starters, however, were selected to either the all-conference first or second team.
The breakdown was as follows: forward Larry Showalter and guard Bobby Mills, first team; Jim Krebs, first team utility center, and forward Joel Krog and guard Ronnie Morris. second team.
It's generally agreed that SMU's strongest point, offensively, is in free throws, as the Mustangs have the highest percentage in the nation from the foul line at 766. In the second game with Arkansas, the Ponies were outshot from the field by 27 to 21, but still went on to win 80 to 72 by hitting 38 of 41 free throws.
As the defending conference champions, SMU was the object of almost every conceivable defense. However, all proved of no avail, even though the Mustangs were hard pressed to win in a few games. Rice, considered the best bet to dethrone the Ponies, used a man-to-man when center Jim Krebs was resting on the breach, and a zone while Krebs was in the game. SMU won all three games, 89-75, 86-82, and 76-73.
Zone No Problem
Arkansas, reported to have had the tightest zone defense in the conference, likewise lost three games to SMU. 62-67. 53-58. and 72-80.
TCU turned the clock back 30 years in a weird effort to upset SMU, as it stalled the ball continually, but still lost 22-26. During one part of the game, the Horned Frogs retained possession of the ball for $9 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes.
As well as possessing good shooting ability from both the post position and the outside, the Mustangs have proved quite adept at the fast break. In a game played in Wichita's new field house, SMU ran the Wheatshockers crazy, no easy feat

SMU's outside shooting has been greatly strengthened by the recent improvement of guard Ronnie Morris, who has developed an accurate two-hand set shot. Morris has scored in double figures in the Mustangs' last few games.

Frisco Risks Title, 51-Game String As NCAA Begins
By UNITED PRESS
The upset-riddled NCAA basketball tournament opens regional play at four sites tonight with the big question of the moment: "Can San Francisco do it again without K. C. Jones?"
San Francisco, defending NCAA champ and owner of a record-busting 51-game winning streak, risks both honors when it tangles with UCLA, owner of a 17-game winning streak, in one of the games at Corvallis. Ore.
But all-American Jones won't be playing because he's ineligible as a fourth-year varsity player. He program for tonight's regionals:
At Philadelphia—Caniusus (18-6)
favored over Dartmouth (17-10) and
Temple (24-3) over Connecticut (17-9).
At Iowa City—Iowa (17-5) favored over Morehead State. (18-9) and Kentucky (19-5) over Wayne (18-1).
At Corvallis, Ore.—San Francisco (24- 0) favored over UCLA (19- 5) and Utah (22- 5) over Seattle (18- 9).
A woman came up with typically feminine thinking in reporting an accident to Somerville, Mass., police. Filling out a police form, she came to the question: "How could you have avoided the accident?" She wrote: "By staying at home."
