UCLA Wins (Ho-Hum), 100-66
By DAVE BARONTI

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
