Wednesday, January 31, 196S The Daily Nebraskan Page 7 LeivCIan a a never be no. 2 By HARRY ARC.I E Sports Columnist I had an opportunity to watch the nation's best col lege basketball team in action over the Holiday vacation. No, I didn't spend Christ mas in Houston and have not even seen the Cougars play, except on television. If there re a n y dreamers in . the crowd, I wasn't in Kansas City t see the Big Eight tournament, either. The game was Bradley gainst UCLA and the place was rauiey ravilhon in t h e fashionable Westwood sec tion of Los Angeles. Just to set the record straight, I'm rot going to talk about Brad ley. Watching, the UCLA Bruins play was a most unique ex perience, beginning with going to the campus. To get by the gate, each car must either have a sticker or pay 75 cents. That fee entitles you to park in any of several multi-level garages on the scenic campus. Pauley Pavillion is now in its third year of operation. Like our lovely Coliseum, bas ketball is played there. But the similarities end there and I even wonder if the one word "basketball" adequately de scribes both what our team does in the C o 1 i s e u m and w hat UCLA does in Pauley ravillion. You would never even guess they play basketball at Paul ey without looking for the playing floor. At first I felt more like I was at Indian Hills in Omaha than at a bas ketball game. All 12,883 s p a c e s are padded theatre seats and it seems like a crime when you see guys working up a sweat in this place. : CORNER NOT RIGHT In three of the four corners there building's are large blue-and-gold banners pro claiming jhg UCL Bruins as NCAA champions in 1964, 1965 and 1967. That fourth corner just didn't look right I'm sure UCLA agrees. Before the game, there was some small talk that the Bradley Braves just might be THE team to upset the Uclan as the squad from Peoria, 111., boasted an impressive 8-0 slate. The record looked even more impressive when one sees the wins were against such traditional bastions of basketball power as St Cloud, Sam Houston, Murray State and Northern Michigan. The Braves came into the game with the top field goal shooter percencage-wise in the country, Joe Allen. Al len was being touted for a duel with 71 V4" Lew Aldn dor. Allen was an easy victor by point s, outscoring Alcindor si-13, but Lew hauled down 15 rebounds to Joe's nine and, more important Alcindor clearly blocked 11 shot"!. Allen tried seven of the 11 Bradley shots which Big Lew stopped, including three in rapid succession, sending Al len into such utter frustration that he shammed the ball down on the court after the third block rather than try a fourth time. Most important UCLA eas ily rolled to a 109-73 triumph. The Braves kept within strik ing range for about the first ten minutes, but were never actually in serious contention from the opening tip-off NOT IMPRESSED I was really less than im pressed with Alcindor. Like many super-tall players, he still has the misconception; that he can simply stand around, reach up and rule the court This worked against Bradley, but wasnt quite enough at Houston. He especially turned me off early in the second half when he was aecidently poked in the eye while trying to p u 1 1 off a rebound. The trainer rushed out to look at him, but are the nation's top team, mainly because the game was played at Houston and the Cougars managed only a two point win, 71-69. It is general- gnimMimmMinnnimmm ARGUEments Ut course, we need aaother to complete the Set" Lynn, any of which could be THE star on almost any team in the country. UCLA REVENGE While Houston is now the No. 1 team in the ratings, the two giants will amost surely meet again in the NCAA semi finals in March, barring some unforeseen surprise. I think the outcome is already a fore gone conclusion since the "neutral" court for this year's tournament will be the Los Angeles Sports Arena, home floor of the University of Southern California Trojans. ! It's just about a 20-minute Big Lew brushed him off and ran to the end cf the bench where he sat with his h e a d down for the rest of the game. This time he wasnt really hurt He was just acting like he was being picked on. This was before his serious eye In jury in the California game. I dont think he is being hit in the eyes intentionally; he's just so tall that the other guys' extended arms just seem to naturally land there when he's in the air. Getting back to the Houston game, I still think the Bruins ly conceded that the partison crowd is worth ten points to the home team, and with 52, 000 screaming Texans in the Astrodome I think it gave Houston more like 15-point advantage. At Pauley Pavillion, or even on a neutral court UCLA would have won handily, even with a fantastic effort by Houston's Elvin Hayes and a lackluster one by Alcindor. The Uclan still has guys like Lynn Shackleford, Lucius Al len, Edgar Lacey, Mike War ren, Kenny Heitz and Mike spin on the freeways from Westwood. And hordes of Bruin faithful will certainly pack the Arena to see their heros get revenge for the As trodome incident. With all the marbles at stake, UCLA won't make the same mistakes and if coach John Wooden can light even a small fire under Alcindor, the Uclan should easily get that revenge and go on the fol lowing night to take their fourth NCAA title in five years. Like I said, that fourth cor ner in Pauley Pavillion just doesn't look right. After March, it will look right Some sports facts you might not know Aussie avarice Fred Stolle, an Australian, defeated John Newcombe, aa Australian, 4-6, 12-10, 6-3 6-4 in the finals of the United States championships of ten nis in 1966.

See Husker wrestlers in rare home performance By BOWIE BOXXEAU Sports Assistant Practically half of Nebras ka's home wrestling appear ances will be this weekend as the Huskers face Missouri Fri day afternoon, Colorado Fri day evening and Southern Illi nois Saturday afternoon. These multiple duals will also seat South Dakota State against Colorado Friday after noon and Southern Illinois against South Dakota State Friday evening. Other Saturday perform ances will be between Colora do and Missouri in the after noon and Colorado and South ern Illinois as well as South Dakota State and Missouri in the evening. Saturday will also be the last home meet for the Husk er freshman team as they meet the Missouri freshmen at 6 p.m. Afternoon sessions begin at 2 p.m. and evening sessions at 7:30 p.m. both days with all competition in the Coliseum. Coach Orval Borgialli prom ises a close match between the Huskers and the Missouri team though he is less opti mistic about Colorado and Southern Illinois. "We've nev er wrestled Southern Illinois before,- and I've never seen them compete, but from their opponents and win-loss rec ord, they seem to be tough competitors." Save travel Borgialli pointed out that the meets Friday and Satur day will be a mileage-saving device as the four teams from the north, south, east and west can meet in Lincoln. Nebraska will not wrestle South Dakota State as they have met the Jackrabbits twice this season, loosing to them 8-25 at a quadrangular at the University of Minneso ta December 16 and 9-22 in a dual at Brookings, S.D. The Husker team goes into this weekend's competition with two wins, six losses and one tie.

The other Husker win came January 6 at Ver million, S.D. with the 31-6 tromping of the University of South Dakota. In the quadrangular at Min neapolis, the Scarlet and Cream tied North Dakota State 18-18 but lost to the home team, the University of Min nesota, 8-2t and South Dako ta State. The Huskers' first and only home meet so far this season was January 12 with Kansas State which the Wildcats won 12-17. Last weekend the team took a tour to the west where they were defeated by the Univer sity of Wyoming at Laramie Friday evening and Colorado State College at Greeley Sat urday evening 27-5. "Though the score (27-6) does not show it, the meet with Wyoming was really close. After we won the first two classes we thought we'd win the meet," but that was the extent of the Husker wins as many of the other classes were lost in very close deci sions, according to Borgialli. "The boys tried very hard against Colorado State," he observed, adding "If they had wrestled that hard against Wyoming we would have won." Fine individuals Borgialli pointed out that "though the team record may not be the best, we have some very fine individual athletes. Our main problem is that we lack depth," This is particularly appar ent in the 130 and 137 weight classes. With the loss of. 130 pound senior Jerry Langdon this semester, the coach is forced to use men not natural ly suited for these classes. He is also having trouble filling the 177 and heavyweight classes and may be forced to use red sbirted sophomore Jim Reeder at 177. Reeder was chosen Outstanding Freshman last year by bis' teammates. Another hope for heavier classes is that senior Gene LibaL who was ineligible last semester, win regain his eligi bility this semester. "The Dobson brothers are two of my finer athletes" said the coach. Both sophomore Duane, 152 and junior Dennis, 145 have 6-3 records for the year. Other good athletes, accord ing to Borgialli, are 177-pound senior Harry Gaylor, who was undefeated until the Wyoming match and semor Ron Thon who has a 4-3-2 record, Thon has been with Borgialli for the past eight years as he came from Lusk, Wyo., where Bor gialli coached before coming to Nebraska. The coach also has high hopes for a rally on the part of senior Richard Kerr who "is regaining his composure after a two-year layoff," Kerr had a 6-6 record as a sopho more, but so far this year is 1-6-L Mat gap The Soviet Union had five individual winners in the 1966 world wrestling champion ships held at Toledo, Ohio. They were also first as a team in Greco-Roman and second in freestyle. The United States had no indivi dual winners and finished third in freestyle and last in Greco-Roman. fiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiHniiunitiutiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitniiuinniuntiuiuntinnnnniHramnnHituininmiiuis I the N crowd This is the beginning of a new semester, and some of the Nebraska athletic tearns are probably wishing right now that they could take semester exams in their sport and start all over again, too.
