Uclans romp, Drake next as NCAAs down to four
UCLA burst Santa Clara's national championship bubble and North Carolina, Purdue, and Drake sweat through tough ones Saturday to earn berths in this weekend's NCAA finals in Louisville.
The once-beaten Uclans crushed the fourth-ranked Broncos 90-52 in the Western regional windup that saw the two-time defending champs run up an 18-2 lead in the first $8 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes and a 46-25 halftime bulge.
The Bruins rode brilliant outside gunnery and a withering full-court press (setting up easy cripple shots) to an unbeatable 76 per cent (19 of 25) first-half shooting mark. As usual, All-American Lew Alcindor did the major damage, hitting for 17 points (on 8 of 14 from the field) before exiting with 7:52 remaining in the rout.
Scott saves Tar Heels
North Carolina's Charlie Scott kayoed sixth-ranked Davidson with a fantastic second-half shooting performance as he led the Tar Heels to an 87-85 squeaker in the Eastern regional at College, Park, Md.
The 6'5" Olympian poured in 16 points in the last 10 minutes of the contest, including the game-winner, a 20-footer at the :01 mark to rally the foul-plagued Carolinians. Scott closed with 32 tallies, tops in the see-saw thriller, followed by Davidson's Mike Maloy, a stalwart for the losers, with 25.
Purdue escaped with a 75-73 victory over Marquette when sharp-shooter Rick Mount connected from the corner with two seconds remaining in overtime. The blond bomber finished with 26 points to pace the Boilermakers, who will represent the Mid-East against Eastern-titlist North Carolina Thursday night in Louisville.
Drake gets Bruins
Marquette missed an earlier opportunity to claim the trip when forward Rick Cobb missed the seco d end of a 1-1 free throw situation with two seconds left in regulation that would have given the underdog Warriors a 64-63 win. Instead the game went into the extra period, setting the stage for
Colbert tops Monsanto
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Unsung Jim Colbert did his best today to cope with mounting pressure as he waited out a 24-hour rain delay, in the $100,000 Monsanto Open golf tournament.
The 28-year-old Colbert, who never before led going into a final round in his five years of pro golf, was hopeful that the weather would hold up long enough today for him to see if he could make his one-stroke lead hold up against a field of 70 other pros over the soaked Pensacola Country Club course.
Colbert spent Sunday pacing his room like a caged lion after the final round was postponed until today.
"The waiting is the hardest," he said. "Nobody likes a delay. But we've got to be realistic. After all that rain the course would have been too wet to play Sunday."
The former Kansas State football player had to battle rain Saturday to grab the lead from two-time U.S. Amateur champion Dean Beman and U.S. Open champion Lee Trevino.
It was really coming down when he finished the third round with a seven-under-par 64 for a 54-hole final total of 13-under-par .000.
Mount's dramatic ending. George Thompson scored a game-high 28 points for the losers.
Drake sneaked by upstart Colorado State 84-77 in the Mid-West regional to earn the dubious right to play UCLA Thursday evening. The Bulldogs received clutch play from all-Missouri Valley guard Willie McCarter and reserve Gary Zeller to pull out the win.

McCarter gunned home 21 points to pace the Drake attack but it was Zeller's three down-the-stretch buckets-after CSU had tied it up 69-all with five minutes remaining—that made the difference.
In NAIA action, twelfth-seeded Eastern New Mexico combined patience and torrid shooting to gun down Maryland State 99-76 and emerge the champion of the 32nd annual classic. Overcoming a sluggish start, the Greyhounds slowed down their quick-breaking rivals until they could mount a rush of their own.
Eastern New Mexico's 67 per cent shooting did the rest.
In the NCAA College Division tournament, Kentucky Wesleyan downed Southwest Missouri State 75-71 to nab the crown for the second year in a row.
Player, de Vicenzo head list of foreign golfers in Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Former champion Gary Player and hard-luck Robert de Vicenzo who last year lost the Masters Tournament when he signed an incorrect scoreboard, head a list of 20 foreign golfers invited to play in this year's Masters.
In addition to Player and de Vincenzo, the Masters' Committee also has invited top
touring foreigners Bob Charles of Christchurch, New Zealand, Bruce Crampton of Sydney, Australia, Bruce Devlin of Deakin, Australia, Harold R. Henning of Johannesburg, South Africa, Tony Jacklin of Middlesex, England and George Knudson of Toronto, Canada. All have competed in previous Masters.
Player, like Henning a resident of Johannesburg, is the 1961 Masters champion. The little black-clad golfer was runnerup for the prestigious title in 1962 and 1965. He was 1965 U.S. Open champion, 1962 P.G.A. champ, and won the British Open title in 1965 and 1968. He will be making his 13th Masters' appearance.
