ierkeley Center
Hikes Point Edge
LOS ANGELES — California’s
who hold a convinc
ing lead in the Southern Division
©f the Pacific Coast Conference,
dominated virtually every depart
ment of the offensive and defensive
statistics released today by the
.BCC Commissioner's office.
Leading the Cal attack is Center
Bob McKeen who has bucketed 48
field goals and 21 free throws for
117 points and an average of 19.5
during his first six outings. He
needs to increase that pace only
.slightly to crack the season scor
ing record of 238 points set in 1950
.ifcy Bill Sharman of Southern Cali
fornia.
^pmsic Second
Trailing McKeen in scoring are
Ron Tomsic of Stanford with 17.8
. average; Ken Flower, SC, 15.5, and
John Ricksen, Cal, 14.2. Riclcsen
is the No. 1 marksman from the
floor with 52.3 pei> cent on 34 field
.goals in 65 tries, topping such out
standing shooters as Mark Costel
Jo, UCLA, who has 51.6 per cent
.and McKeen, 50 per cent.
California has the best field
goal percentage as a team, 40.2
per. cent, and this figure un
doubtedly has contributed to the
Bears’ success, for they have
taken fewer shots than any other
team yet have cashed in on more
of them. Stanford has the best
free throw mark, 73.4 per cent.
California leads in scoring with
■69.5 points a game and has allowed
the fewest points on defense. 65.0
j»er contest. UCLA has picked off
the most rebounds, 257, and South
ern Cal has committed the fewest
fouls, 100.
Stanford Forward Tops
Tomsic leads the individuals
from the charity line with 88.2 per
•cent on 30 points in 34 tries, fol
lowed by Bob Matheny, Cal. 87.1
per cent, and George Zaninovich,
Stanford, 87.0 per cent. Don Bragg
of UCLA is the No. 1 rebounder
with 57. Next come Roy Irvin,
Southern Cal, with 47 and Don
.-•Carlson, Stanford, 46.
Stanford is in Hawaii for a series
of games this week while Cali
fornia, UCLA and Southern Cali
fornia are having semester exams
.and, as a result, are idle.

Point Spread
NEW YORK <JP>- The perjury
trial of seven-foot Kentucky bas

mate, Jim Line, accuse him of ac
cepting SI.000 to fix the point

cused Line of changing the testi
mony he had given a grand jury
investigating the basketball
scandal. According to Brown.
Line told the grand jury that
gambler Jack West had given
him $1,600 to divide with Spivey,
Walter Hirsch and himself. But
today Line said the amount was
$2,600. Line said he had kept
$800, given $800 to Hirsch and
given Spivey $1,000.
Line told the jury today that
