Pros Pick Utah, liSC To Triumph In NCAA By HOWARD APPLEGATE lniled Press International Portland, Ore. lUPH Utah and Southern California were favored to win second round NCAA basketball games tonight and' produce a Saturday duel between the West's two outstanding big men, Bill (The Hill) McGill and John Rudometkin. But coach Jack Garner's Ohio State Heads List United Press International Undefeated Ohio State heads the list of 16 highly rated schools which begin play in the NCAA regionals today, but the Buckeyes will have to overcome a gang attack by the state of Kentucky if they are to capture their second straight national champion ship. Proud possessors of a 29 game winning streak-including 24 this season-and unani mous approval by the United Press International Board of Coaches as the nation's lead ing college basketball team, the Buckeyes collide with dangerous Louisville in a first-round Mid-East regional game at Louisville tonight. Louisville had a 20-7 record during the regular campaign, but the Colonels lost only twice while winning 13 on their home court. And should the Buckeyes gel past Louis ville, they then would have to contend with the winner of tonight's Kentucky-Morchead -State match before advancing to the NCAA's semi - final round at Kansas City, Mo., next week. Ohio State presents as well balanced a team as any in the country, with star billing go ing to All-America Jerry Lu cas, while Louisville fields a veteran squad led by 6-5 John Turner. The lineup and sites for the other regional pairings today arc: East -At Charlotte, N.C., Princeton vs. St. Joseph's Pa.; St. Bonaventure vs. Wake Forest. Mid - West - At Lawrence, Kan., Cincinnati vs. Texas Tech; Houston vs. Kansas State. Far West-At Portland, Ore., Utah vs. Loyola, Calif.; South ern California vs. Arizona State.

MeAndrews Road , Phone 2-S7.71 Tourney high scoring Utah team (21-6) will have to crack an NCAA jinx and beat a strong Loyola team that whipped it soundly early in the season. They play at 7:30 p.m. (pst). Southern Cal (21-6) faces darkhorse Arizona State, a speedy bunch of clutch kids primed for an upset, at 9:30 p.m. The winners play Satur day night for a spot in next week's semi-finals at Kansas City. Utah Once-Beaten Loyola, 19-6 and champion of the tough West Coast Ath letic conference, downed Utah 85-64 in the Utes' first game of the season. Utah and Loyola qualified for the second round by win ning in their conferences. Southern Cal made it by edg ing Oregon 81-79 and Arizona State got in by beating Seattle 72-70 here Wednesday night in first round games. Last season Utah came into the western regionals as a favorite and lost to Oregon. McGill, a 6-9 junior, has a 27.5 scoring average for the Utes who have an 80-point team average. Utah downed defensive minded Colorado State 55-51 in the Skyline conference playoff. Sparked by Bento Loyola is spraked by Ed Bento, a 6-6 junior from Hilo, Hawaii, who scored 429 points during the season and hit about half his field goal at tempts. Rudometkin, like McGill is a second-team UPI Ail-American, hit his season's average 24 points for the Trojans against Oregon and appeared fully recovered from a leg muscle injury. Eighteen of those points came in the sec ond half while he had four personal fouls. "Arizona State is as good a basketball team as Oregon," coach Forrest Twogood of the fifth-ranked Trojans said.- "I hope they won't be as tough." Arizona State, down 11 points at the half, came from behind to defeat Seattle on some fine clutch shooting by red-haired Gerry Hahn. Hahn got most of his points late in the game, including the de ciding field goal at the final whistle.

Kaline Paces Tiger Victory B FRED DOWN United Preit International That $200 it cost Al Kaline to start spring training early looks like the best money the Detroit Tigers' star outfielder ever spent. "I'm hitting the ball so well I can't believe it," says Ka line, who slumped to .278 last year after averaging .311 for seven big league seasons. "I've never done this well be fore in the spring." Kaline collected a single and double, giving him 10 hits in 20 tries and a .500 spring average, In the Tigers' 7-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday.

He worked out hard with the pitchers and catchers and appears ready for another .300 -plus season with the Tigers. Duke Snider, another vet eran working hard to achieve a comeback, hit his first hom er of the spring and drove in two runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees, 6-1. Bud Daley, a 16-game win ner last season, and Don Lar son, one - time World Series perfect-game hero, each pitch ed three shutout innings in the Kansas City Athletics' 5-1 decision over the Baltimore Orioles.
