Ducks tangle with Southern Cal tonight
Bruin star dedicated
Lew Alcindor awesome
I'.uuor s note: uregons most
f o i in i (I a b I e opponent Sat
urday night will undoubted
ly be All-American center Lew
Alcindor. Dan Berger of the As
sociated Press describes the per
sonality behind the man who is
leading UCLA to their third
straight NCAA cage title.
LOS ANGELES — Lew Alcin
dor, UCLA’s 7-foot-1J a center,
occasionally amazes his coach,
John Wooden, with his ability
to score.
The mobile monster is affec
tive from two feet or 20. Me
can hit “nine out of 10 of those
three-foot hook shots, no mat
ter who's guarding him,” says
teammate Lynn Shackelford. “He
is awesome,” say most oppos
ing players.
But Lew, a quiet, intelligent
individual off the court, says he
won't score very much when he
first turns professional.
Make adjustment
“I’m going to have to make
an adjustment to the profession
al style of play,” said Lew.
“And that’s a hard adjust
ment. 1 know I can do it, but
1 don’t know how it’s going to
affect my game.”
"I think my first year, the
best thing I'll do is play de
tense. Scoring points — well,
that is good for your salary but
1 don’t know if that wins all the
games.”
Winning is the key to how Lew
plays. He is unselfish and a
team player all the way. Any
thing that wins the game Lew
will do.
He is dedicated to the total
effort of the team,” said Wood
en,, a bespectacled former Eng
lish teacher.
Concerned about effort
“I think all players want to
do well individually but 1 think
Lewis is more concerned about
the over all effort of the team,
figuring he can do his part with
out necessarily scoring a lot. He
is a truly well-rounded ball
player.
“When he indicated his desire
to come to UCLA, I said at that
time that one of the things that
interested me most about him
was all reports were that he was
an unselfish team player. And
certainly, 1 feel that is a ne
cessity in our type of play.”
That type of play uses the
swiftest of fast breaks, a tena
cious lull-court zone press and
an emphasis on defense. To
that end, Alcindor has learned
to become a running giant.
“I don't think I’d mind play

Oregon opened the season in
October at Reed with a surpris
ing 5-0 loss. The Griffins, who
won only one game in 20 their
first two seasons in the league,
proved the Mallard win was no
fluke as they have built a 5-2-2
record including a 1-0 loss to
OSU. The Mallards’ second loss
in their 6-2 record was a 6-0
decision to the Beavers.
Capt. Graham Mason has re
organized the Mallard lineup
since the first Reed game and
expects Oregon to give the Port
land school a close match Sat
urday. Oregon has outscored
eight opponents 30-19 while
Reed holds a 35-14 scoring ad
vantage in nine matches.

Oregon battles
USC, UCLA
By JOHN ANDERSON
Of the Emerald
IT COULD BE ANOTHER ROUGH WEEKEND for the Oregon
cagers in Los Angeles this Friday and Saturday.
But this time the Ducks aren’t preparing to defeat two foes.
They plan to beat one, but only in their wildest dreams do they
expect to beat the other.
Because, after taking on Southern California at the LA Sports
Arena Friday night, Oregon moves into Pauley Pavilion to square
off against UCLA, which is driving for an unprecedented third
straight NCAA championship. The Bruins are 20-0 this year, un
defeated in their last 34 games, and winners in 85 of their last
90 contests.
THE DUCKS, WHO DEPARTED FOR sunny California shortly
after noon Thursday, have been spending their practice sessions
this week hoping to topple strong USC Friday night after dual
losses last weekend at Cal and Stanford. The Webfoots are now
2-6 in Pacific-8 play, 10-10 overall. Southern Cal is 4-4 in league
and 11-9 for the season.
Four Ducks are set in the starting lineup—center Stan Love,
forward Larry Holliday, guard Rick Abrahamson. and Bill Droz
diak at either forward or guard. Head Coach Steve Belko in
dicated that guard Billy Gaskins may take the fifth spot, but Gas
kins has been mildly ill again and is doubtful. If he doesn’t start,
Leonard Jackson will likely open at forward.
LOVE, INCIDENTALLY, HAS SCORED 345 points this year
(17.2 average) and needs only 44 points in the season’s six re
maining games to become the most prolific sophomore scorer in
school history. All-American Jim Barnett scored 388 in his rookie
year, 1964.
If past performance is any indication, Love, a Los Angeles
product like Holliday and Carlton Slater, should have a good
weekend. He has averaged 34.8 points, including his Frosh record,
in the games his girlfriend has seen him play. And she’ll be on
hand both nights.
Doing most of USC's scoring this year is 6-5 Ernie Powell.
Powell carries a 16.3 average. Ron Taylor at 7-0 is clumsy but
is a solid inside threat, especially with a dangerous hook. Guards
Mack Calvin and Steve Jennings are steady performers.
UCLA’S BIG STAR NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. Everybody’s
All-American, 7-1V2 (?!) Lew Alcindor has averages of 25.7 scor
ing and 15.1 rebounding, neither as high as in past years. But
lie’s better than he ever was. He’s getting much more help this
year from stars such as forwards Curtis Rowe, Lynn Shackleford
and Sidney Wicks, and guards John Vallely and Ken Heitz.
Both contests will be carried over the air by KUGN radio (590
kc ). Game time each night is 8 p.m.
Oregon’s Frosh cagers. 15-3, are idle this weekend. They’ll be
back in action at home on Feb. 28 against the undefeated Wash
ington Frosh.
