TWO FOR THE BUFFS—Colorado center Jim Davis stretches above Cincinnati's Dale Heidotting for a first half score in Saturday's NCAA Regional championship game which the Bearcats won in Allen Field House.

There's always plenty of action on and off the court at an NCAA tournament, and last weekend's regional tournament here was no exception.
Friday night, there was a skirmish on the court between Colorado and Oklahoma City. Saturday evening, there was bad taste in the Colorado's rooters' mouths toward Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati band played for Colorado's pom-pom girls Friday night. Saturday night, however, the band told the girls they would not play for them unless the Bearcats were ahead by 20 points.
Saturday night's finale matched two former high school teammates. Cincinnati's Ron Bonham and Colorado's Jim Davis both played their high school bail on the same team at Muncie, Ind. Davis is a center and Bonham is a forward so the two never clashed personally.
Oklahoma City coach Abe Lemont says basketball is a religion with his star guard Bud Koner, who awed the tournament fans with his long jump shots.

Tournament officials listed Saturday's night attendance as 8,500. It appeared that the figure was closer to 10,000. If Allen Field House holds 17,500, it would have been impossible to have crowded 9,000 more persons in for the game.
The 8,500 figure is supposed to be based on paid attendance. Apparently 1,500 sneaked in by burrowing under the stadium and coming up where the 60-yard dash finishes at an indoor track meet.
Coach Bill Easton, whose track dynasty has been obliterated the past year-and-a-half is beating the bushes for top high school track prospects and thus far he has been successful in his ventures.
If he lands the prospects he has contacted, KU will be a national track power once more in two years.
Right now, Easton is more of an infirmary director than he is a track coach. There are more names on his injury list than on the able list.
"Usually something like this only lasts a year." Easton says. The coach, however, is going on his second year with injury-riddled performers.
The Jayhawkers are thought by many to have a good chance at the outdoor title this spring if they are healthy.
