Houston, Bruins to tangle Friday
By GARY KALE
UPI Sports Writer
Giant Lew Alcindor can look forward to a fast running game in UCLA's match Friday night against Houston in the NCAA semi-finals.
Houston Coach Guy Lewis has made it clear his team will not employ stall tactics in an attempt to hold down the scoring of the UCLA stilt.
The 67 points gave him 831 for his sophomore year and a 29.6 average. There's no secret that Bruin Coach Johnny Wooden would give the young 7-1 giant his head in scoring against Houston if the Cougars try to run up the points.
Alcindor just started to warm up in the NCAA Western regional finals at Corvallis, Ore., last weekend as he scored 29 points against Wyoming and posted 38 in the University of Pacific game that UCLA won 80-64.
"We don't practice a delay game," Lewis said in defense of his proposed game plan. "I think we have enough talent to get the ball in the hole against any team."

The opinion of observers is that Lewis' team will not reach Saturday night's final round no matter what strategy he employs.

The court of last resort was reached by the four teams in regional finals last Saturday night. Houston won the Midwest regional by beating Southern Methodist 83-75, Dayton earned its berth with a 71-66 overtime victory against Virginia Tech in the Mideast final and North Carolina topped Boston College 96-80 to gain Eastern Representation.
Wooden expects Houston to be as tough under the boards as UOP.

The NCAA Midwest Regional tournament attendance set a record of the 16-year-old meet. The crowd of 16,250 attending the Friday night preliminary swelled to a sell-out crowd of 17,000 Saturday to boost the total to 33,250. It was the second-highest attendance at a regional meet in NCAA history.
The existing record of 36,377 was set at the 1961 Mideast Regional consisting of teams from Ohio State, Louisville, Moorehead State and Kentucky. The tourney was held in Louisville's Freedom Hall where the NCAA finals will be held the 24th and 25th of March.

CLEVELAND — (UPI)— Crime is at its peak during the winter months because of the long hours of darkness, advises the Street and Highway Safety Lighting Bureau.
