Alcindor, Allen not invited to '68 Olympic basketball KANSAS CITY — (UPI)— It's still not clear whether UCLA's towering All-America Lew Alcindor is boycotting the 1968 Olympic games. Regardless of whether or not he is, the effect will be the same. Alcindor and two of his standout teammates, Lucius Allen and Mike Warren, will not compete in the games. They were not listed among the 48 collegians-33 from the University Division and 15 from the College Division—named Tuesday by the NCAA to compete in the Olympic tryouts. The NCAA, eager to correct the impression it had left the players off the team because they were afraid of a boycott, quickly announced they had "contacted the players concerning their availability." The NCAA said the Bruins players said they wouldn't accept invitations. UCLA Athletic Director J. D. Morgan issued a statement saying the three players had declined to compete in the Olympic tryouts because of the time they would lose from their studies. A spokesman for UCLA had no comment on the possibility the Bruin players had declined because they were boycoting the Olympics. Alcindor attended a meeting last fall when San Jose State Professor Harry Edwards proposed a boycott of the Olympics by all Negro athletes because of discrimination in the United States. But Alcindor claimed recently he hadn't made up his mind whether to boycott the games. KU bows to Huskers Nebraska, behind the hot second half shooting of seniors Tom Baack and Stuart Lantz, held off a late Kansas rally to defeat the Jayhawks, 76-69, Tuesday night in Lincoln. It was a see-saw battle through the first 12 minutes of the first half as Nebraska took short leads and Kansas came back to go ahead on good shooting by Jayhawk center Dave Nash. Nash drew his third foul and left the game with just over eight minutes remaining in the half. Seconds later KU lost the lead for good as NU forward Bob Gratopp tipped in a Baack shot to put the Cornhuskers on top, 20-19. Houston, UCLA remain one, two The half ended with the Jayhawks down by seven, 38-31. Undefeated Houston again holds the top spot in the 13th weekly United Press International (UPI) major college basketball ratings for the 1967-68 season. Kansas State University was ranked 17th. The listing with first place votes and records of games played through Feb. 24 in parentheses: Nebraska put the game away early in the second half. The two teams traded baskets in the opening moments before Nebraska, led by Lantz's eight quick points, pulled away to a 15 point lead with 14 minutes to play. The lead proved insurmountable. Team Points 1. Houston (24) (25-0) ... 337 2. UCLA (11) (21-1) ... 326 3. North Carolina (22-1) ... 271 4. St. Bonaventure (19-0) 227 5. Kentucky (19-4) ... 176 6. Columbia (19-3) ... 159 7.

KU rallied late to pull within five with just over two minutes to play but that was as close as it could come. Baack took over the scoring when Lantz cooled off and kept the Jayhawks from closing the gap. Kansas sophomore Rich Bradshaw who had seen little action in the past three games came into the game in the second half and scored 10 points. The Jayhawk guard was a major factor in KU's late rally and played some of his best basketball of the season. Although Kansas played better than it had against K-State, poor shooting was again one of the Jayhawks' big problems. They finished the game with 40 per cent accuracy from the field while Nebraska hit at a 47 per cent pace. It was Kansas' second loss in four days and all but extinguished the Jayhawks' hopes of making a third straight trip to the NCAA Midwest regional. KU can still grab a share of the conference crown but the league's ruling on determining the NCAA representative all but eliminates Kansas. The Jayhawks' loss coupled with K-State's 70-63 victory over Missouri dropped KU from a share of the conference lead to fourth place. Kansas is now 7-4, behind the Wildcats at 8-3, Iowa State, 7-3, and Nebraska 8-4. KU's freshman squad completed its season undefeated winning the warm up to the varsity clash, 79-67, over the Nebraska frosh. The young Jayhawks are 9-0 for the year. The Jayhawks are in action again Saturday night when they play Oklahoma State at Stillwater. WEAVERS RECORD DEPT.
