UCLA Meets Kansas State; Bruins Hope for Perfect Year
By Gary Kale UPI Sports Writer
UCLA hopes to sign it "30" as an end to a perfect season at the NCAA basketball tournament climax in Kansas City this weekend.
The Bruins, having eliminated San Francisco, 76-72, in the Far West regionals last Saturday, enter the crucial phase of the 1964 games with a 28-0 record. They play Kansas State in the national semifinals Friday night and if successful move to the title round against the winner of the Michigan-Duke game on Saturday.
If UCLA wins the championship, it will finish the campaign with a 30-0 record.
KANSAS STATE captured the Midwest Regions with a 94-86 win over Wichita at Wichita; Duke demolished Connecticut, 101-54, in the eastern Finals at Raleigh, N.C., and Michigan stopped Ohio University, 69-57, in the Mideast final at Minneapolis.
In the National Invitational Tournament at New York, New York University advanced to the semifinal round with a surprise 79-66 win over top-seeded Depaul and Bradley joined the Violets in this bracket by Edging St. Joseph's (Pa.) 83-81. Advancing to the quarter-finals were Army with a 64-62 squeaker over St. Bonaventure and Drake with an 87-82 triumph over Pittsburgh.
Rockhurst College of Kansas City stunned defending champion Pan American (Tex.), 66-56, to win the NAIA tournament.
The NCAA Semi-final at Kansas City is an all-round grudge gambit. UCLA defeated Kansas State earlier this season and Michigan took the measure of Duke in a previous encounter when the Blue Devils were experimenting with defensive systems.
ALL AMERICAN Walt Hazzard and Gail Goodrich, UCLA's brilliant backcourt tandem, proved too much for San Francisco, which handed the Bruins their last defeat in an NCAA consolation round last year.
Hazzard scored 25 points,14 in the second half to help erase San Francisco's 36-28 halftime lead and end the Don's 19-game winning streak.
The least worried member of the Bruins was Coach Johnny Wooden after the Bruins' poor first half at Corvallis, Ore.
"This club is a percentage shooting club," he explained, and the shots just had to fall in the second half if the players kept at it."
KANSAS STATE used an effective 1-3-1 defensive that stopped everyone but all America Dave Stall-
Former Player For Jayhawks Receives Grant
Brian Palmer, Winnipeg, Canada senior, has been named the first recipient of the Jack Wolfe Memorial award in the department of physical education.
The award memorializes the late Jack Wolfe, a former KU basketball player, who was killed in an airplane accident near Norman, Okla., last Oct. 19. Wolfe had, for several years been a basketball coach at Colby High School in Colby.
The award of $50 represents the income from more than $1,000 contributed by more than 200 friends of Wolfe, who earned the B.S. degree from KU in 1955 and the M.S. degree in 1959.
Palmer was a quarterback on the KU football squad two years ago. His strength is passing. Last fall, he did not attend KU, but instead put in a season in the Canadian professional football league.
His name will be the first inscribed on the Memorial plaque.

Duke moved into the semi-finals for the second consecutive year. Jeff Mullins tallied 30 points against Connecticut, which had previously upset Temple and Princeton. The Blue Devils, hoping to better their third place finish in the 1963 tourney, rapped out a 62-27 halftime lead that ended Connecticut's chances of advancement.
Cazzie Russell refused to be stopped by an injured ankle and went out to score 25 points for Michigan. Bill Buntin added 15 points for the Wolverines to help halt Ohio University dream of a title, especially after the Bobcats had upset Kentucky last Friday night.
