UCLA Wins (Ho-Hum), 100-66 By DAVE BARONTI Kmrr&ld Sport* Editor LOS ANGELES (Special)—Somewhere during the middle of the first half. Lew Alcindor showed what he thought of the game. He had the ball about five feet away from the basket .and. as was the case practically every other time he had possession, Lew was surrounded by almost the entire Webfoot team, every one of them waving two hands in front of him. fran tically trying to block his view of the basket. Nearly every other time that happened, Big Lew, with that ho-hum expression on his face, perfunctorily passed the ball to a Mike Warren, or a Lucius Allen, who swished—better than 00 per cent of the time—the basket from distances of 20 and 30 feet. 16 FOR LEW This time Lew had had enough. He leaped head and shoulders above the highest outstretched hands and shoved the ball through the basket with such force that Duck center John Pinkstaff— whose head it barely missed on the way down— flinched as if he had been dodging a V-C hand grenade. The Bruin cheering section went wild. Pink staff recovered from his close call. And even Belko grinned in u mixture of awe and amuse ment. Lew Alcindor, UCLA’s 7-1% center, went on to score 16 points—the Ducks held him to his second lowest scoring total of the season—and steered his number one-ranked, undefeated Bruins to a 100-66 trouncing of outclassed Oregon Satur day night at Pauley Pavilion. Even with Alcindor’s relatively low point pro duction, however, he had to be the most valuable 16-point man Oregon has even played against. TEAMMATES HIT The Webfoot concentration on Alcindor allowed the other Bruins—notably Warren, Allen, Lynn Shakelford, and Kenny Heitz, a few of them All Coast if not All-American caliber themselves—to take full advantage of the uncountable oppor tunities their big teammate’s presence gave them, and score—at times—almost at will. As effective as Oregon’s collapsing zone defense was against the object of its attention, it was not versatile enough to enable the Ducks to re cover and guard the rest of the Bruins after Lew flipped the ball to open teammates. _i So powerful were the Uclans that Oregon had to play one of its best hall games of the season just to stay in contention the first half. Guard Nick Jones, in fact, easily has his best night of 1967, hitting 10 of 13 from the field for the entire game, "awarkdizlng" each Bruin as signed to cover him with speedy maneuvers in cither direction, and taking game scoring honors with 22—to 20 for Allen, and 17 for Warren. Jones also pulled an "Alcindor” at one point in the second half, drawing the wrath of the UCLA cheering section when he leaped up to knock away a ball about the drop into the basket. NO GOAL-TENDING The officials discounted the crowd's claim that it was goal-tending. “He surprised us. the fine player we knew before that he is.” admitted UCLA’s John Wooden after the game. "We knew he could go in the one direction, but we didn't know about the other. “Jones," added Belko, "is one of the few (Conlinurtl on pa fie 7) Freshmen Win; Kickers Win,, Tie G-Men Oregon’s freshman gymnastics team took another big step to ward an undefeated season with a 59*2-46 victory over host David Douglas of Portland.
