Wolverines Likely To Succeed UCLA
KANSAS CITY. Mo. —(UPI) Coach Dave Strack's Michigan Wolverines, who boast many of the characteristics which carried UCLA to a perfect season, loomed today as the logical long-range choice to succeed UCLA as the National Collegiate basketball champions.
timed season (60-8).
But Wooden concedes he will have a "pretty good team" next winter with starting juniors Gail Goodrich and Keith Erickson coming back as seniors and spectacular gophomore Ken Washington—the sixth starter—returning for an expected brilliant second chapter in a promising career.
The Wolverines, who won the third place title in last weekend's 26th annuel NCAA championships with a 100-90 consolation victory over Kansas State, lose only one of the five quick youngsters who carried the load for the Big Ten cochamps.
But Coach John Wooden's "perpetual motion" UCLA Bruins, with their amazing speed, sticky zone press defense and deceptive rebounding, may also hustle their way back to the championship finals where they demoralized Duke 98-83 last Saturday night.
Duke's Vic Bubas and Kansas State's Tex Winter also will have some strong holdover strength. But if they are to make the 1965 final big four a repeat of this year's championship, they will have to come up with an unexpected talent.
WOODEN LOSES all-America guard Walt Hazzard, center Fred Slaughter and forward Jack Hirsch from his battling Bruins, who became only the third NCAA champion in history to complete an untarnished season (30-0).
Michigan loses only outside bombardier Bob Cantrell from the team which finished the season with a 23-5 record.

Cassius' Title In Jeopardy
NEW ORLEANS—(UPI)—Emile Bruneau said today he expects Cassius Clay to be toppled from his heavyweight throne before nightfall for "acts detrimental to boxing."

championship committee. He said he had been "alerted" that WBA president Ed Lassman of Miami Beach wanted the championship committee to vote today on whether to withdraw WBA title recognition from the 22-year-old Clay of Louisville, Ky.
Lassman explained that Clay was a detriment to boxing on two counts:
derniment
● The specific charge that he signed a contract with Inter-Continental Promotions, Inc., (of which Liston is president) to promote his future fights, and he did that signing b-e-f-o-r-e he fought Sonny last month.
- The general charge that Clay's conduct—particularly as a crusader for the Black Muslims—"is provoking world-wide criticism and is setting a very poor example for the youth of the world."

"I'll poll my seven fellow-commiteemen by telephone," Bruneau explained. "And I'm almost positive the vote will overwhelmingly withdraw WBA championship recognition from Clay.
Brummer added: "Personally, I think both Clay and Sonny Liston should be put out of boxing. I don't believe they belong in the sport."
believe the difference. It was from veteran Liston of Denver, Colo., that Muhammed (CQ) Ali—the Black Muslim name Clay has adopted—won the crown on a strange technical knockout at the start of the seventh round in Miami Beach, Feb. 25.
Bruneau said the other seven men on his world championship committee are: Wilbert Lewis of Seattle, Bob Evans of Louisville, Bob Summitt of Nashville (Tenn.), Norvell Lee of Washington (D.C.), George Barton of Minneapolis, Joe Triner of Chicago and Harry Falk of Palo Alto (Calif.).
season with center Bill Buntin, the tournament's high scorer with 52 points, flashy Cazzie Russell and steady Larry Tregoning and Oliver Darden coming back.
Buntin, who scored 33 points in the consolation victory over K-State when Russell sat out the game with an aggravated ankle injury, made the all-tournament team along with Goodrich and Hazzard of UCLA, Duke's Jeff Mullins and Kansas State's Willie Murrell. Buntin also tied Murrell in total rebounds with 23.
Goodrich and Washington were the scoring heroes of the UCLA blitz of Duke in the finals with 27 and 26 points, respectively, after they had contributed 14 and 13 points in the 90-84 semi-finals defeat of Kansas State.
Russell fired in 21 points on a game leg in the Wolverines' 91-80 semi-finals loss to Duke; Tregoning collected 16 and Darden 17 points in the third place as they helped Buntin take up the slack caused by Russell's departure.
