Celtics, 76ers win NBA berths in Eastern finals
By United Press International
The Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers have advanced to the National Basketball Association's Eastern Division finals.
The Celtics withstood a blistering 37 point second half shooting spree by Dave Bing, Monday night to defeat the Detroit Pistons, 111-103.
The Boston victory, giving it the series, 4-2, sent the Celtics into the Eastern Division finals for the 12th straight year.
Hal Greer scored 13 of his 35 points in a third-period spree Monday night to lead Philadelphia's running wounded to a 113-97 victory over the New York Knickerbockers and a berth against Boston.
The 76ers had to turn back a tenacious Knick defense which held up until about the five-minute mark of the third period, as they won the best of seven-game series, 4-2, and earned the right to host Boston next Sunday in the opener of the best-of-seven series.
Gary Johnson of Kansas State had the low score in the tournament with a 69. Mike Krone, Charlie Peffer and Bill Hess all tied for low score for KU with 76.
KU's five-man team is made up of Krone, Peffer, Hess, Jack Clevenger and Kent Powell, playing
in that order.
The golf team travels to Shawnee, Okla., Wednesday for a meet with Wichita State University. The following day the Jayhawks will begin play in the Shawnee Intercollegiate Golf Tournament, a 15-tourney tourney.
Big 8 makes football film
The Big Eight conference and Frontier Airlines recently announced plans for an extensive promotional program for Big Eight football to be kicked off next week with a 27-minute, sound, color football highlights film entitled, "Big Eight Football at Its Best."
Frontier president Lewis W. Dymond and Big Eight commissioner Wayne Duke, making the joint announcement in Denver, described the effort as one designed to emphasize the top-cabre football played by Big Eight institutions, as well as to provide the conference's fans top-flight entertainment reflecting this competition."
Production of the film, first venture of this type by the Big Eight, was prompted by what Duke labelled as the "most thrilling and successful football season in the 61-year history of the Big Equal."
In doing so, he cited the following factors:
- The Big Eight recorded the highest winning percentage (nearly 67 per cent) of any major athletic conference in 1967, climaxed by Colorado's 31-21 victory over Miami in the Bluebonnet Bowl and Oklahoma's 26-24 victory over Tennessee in the Orange Bowl.
-The conference achieved the greatest balance in its history with a six and one half point average spread between winner and loser
in over half the Big Eight games played in 1967.
- Nearly two million fans watched Big Eight football in 1967, approaching all-time attendance records set the previous season.
Duke also cited the return of 113 starters from last fall's Big Eight teams, including seven of eight quarterbacks, as a factor in producing the film. "The core of the players contributing to this outstanding record will be back to play again next season," he said.
The film, depicting highlights of the 1967 season and previews of 1968, will be available for public showing beginning April 4. Premiere showings, featuring the head football coaches of Big Eight institutions, will be held in major cities throughout the six-state conference area as a means of directing attention to the film and the 1968 Big Eight season.
Lindsey Nelson, nationally known television sportscaster for NCAA football telecasts, will serve as narrator for the film.
The KU tennis team has its first home meet of the season when it faces Wichita State University, 2:30 p.m. on the tennis courts west of Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks began their season with back to back 9-0 dual victories 10 days ago. Tennis coach Jim Burns thinks his team can continue its winning ways today against Wichita State.
"They have one real good boy from South America back from last year's team but they are weak from there down. They lack depth," Burns said.
KU athletes save Calif. girl's life

Tennis team hosts WSU in first home meet today
As they left the Los Angeles Coliseum, the men heard screaming from an area near a partially filled swimming pool. The pool was surrounded by a large fence. The athletes scaled the fence and raced to the pool where a girl was lying beneath about 12 feet of water.
John Turck, Wichita junior, jumped in the pool and brought the girl to the surface. Ron Shelley, Wichita sophomore, jumped in to help Turck get the girl out of the pool.
Doug Knop, Olathe junior, administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the pool edge and revived the girl. She was taken to a hospital for examination and treatment for shock.

Hawks fail to score at NCAA swim meet
The six man Jayhawk swim team, which participated in the NCAA swimming and diving championships at Dartmouth College over the weekend, failed to score.
The meet was won by Indiana. The only Big Eight team to score was Oklahoma. The Sooners could manage only two points.
KU swim coach, Dick Reamon,
said he felt the Jayhawks had not
been able to get up for the meet.
"We were just too high for our conference meet and were not able to peak again," he said. "Still the times were good and it was good experience for our underclassmen."
Three of the six Jayhawks entered in the meet were sophomores and a fourth was a junior.
