THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Dolphins, Bruins mfmo meet in finals By The Associated Press COLLEGE PARK - UCLA, seeking its sixth national title! in seven years, and newcomer Jacksonville, advanced to the finals of the NCAA basketball championships last night. 4 After Jacksonville squeezed past out-manned and foul-plagued St. Bonaventure 91-83 in the opener of the semifinal roupd UCLA's Bruins beat off a belated New Mexico'State rally in the nightcap for a 93-77 victory. Artis Gilmore, Jacksonville's 7-2 center, scored 29 points and grab- bed 21 rebounds to lead the Dol- phins after the outside shooting of Vaughn Wedeking had enabled Jacksonville to overcome an early lead by the inspired Bonnies. St. Bonaventure, playing with- out injured All-American Bob .f Lanier, and giving up more than seven inches per man on the front- line, pulled to within 79-75 with 2:07 left in the last gasp of a valiant effort. Gilmore scored 19 of his 29 points in thersecond half after Vaughn and Rex Morgan enabled the Dolphins to overcome an early St. Bonaventure lead. Matt Gantt, a 6-5 sophomore playing center in place of Lanier who underwent knee surgery last Sunday, after being injured in the Eastern final last Saturday, was, a terror in the early going as the underdog Bonnies rolled up a 13-3 lead. Gantt scored 14 of his 16 pointsI and grabbed four rebounds before going to the bench with 9:28 to play in the first half after draw- ing his third personal foul. Greg Gary also was taken out with three fouls after only seven minutes of the opening period. Jacksonville, 27-1, and ranked No. 4 in the, nation, settled down the d'eicp,4 V~ M c e _ __ Bill Cusumano_ # The gutsy Bonnies.. . .!upstage Cinderella COLLEGE PARK, Maryland - As I'm writing this, UCLA is wrapping up its 23rd straight NCAA tournament game. The Bruins are easily manhandling New Mexico State aid seem as- sued of another NCAA title. But the story tonight is not the winner, because it was a loser, St. Bonaventure, which stole the hearts of the crowd. The Bonnies took the floor without big cat Lanier and made Jack- sonville scramble all the way,, The Dolphins could only win by eight, 91-83, and actually were lucky to get that big of a margin. St. Bonaventure gave up 29 inches to the Big Broker's , starting five, but made up for it with deadly shooting and fantastic leaping. Greg Gary and Mat Gantt were so tough on the boards that they forced 7 footer Pembroke Burrows out of the game. Gantt even blocked enough of Burrow's shots to make the giant think that he had Spalding written all over his face. Only the numerous fouls that Jacksonville was able to draw with its big front line gave the Dolphins the win. Jacksonville l it for an amazing 35 free throws to only 15 for the Bonnies as four men fouled out futily swatting at Artis Gilmore. St. Bonaventure was a team with a mission, and the whole field house was reminded of it as a giant Bonnie cheering section kept chanting, "Win one for Bob." It appeared like they might pull a miracle for the first ten minutes of the game. St. Bona- venture roared out to a 14-3 lead and kept the Dolphins at bay until midway into the first half. Then Vaughn Wedeking began to hit from the outside and Gilmore went to work under the basket. Jacksonville finally took a 26-24 lead with 7:37 remaining in the half and managed to hang on precariously until the final horn. As the game progressed the enthusiasm of the Bonnies' fans spread to the remainder of the sell-out crowd. People who had felt cheated by the absence of Lanier suddenly placed Jackson- ville in the role of a villain. People began to cheer, "who's Artis Gilmore" and "Lanier is number one." Jacksonville fans caught up in the enthusiasm of making the finals for the first time began to chant, "We're number one." It was not a wise move. Thousands of boos drowned out the Dolphin's proclamation. The upset was not to come, though, because miracles are not reality. So the Bonnies now become the tragic heroes of this year's finals, much as Noel Bradley's Princeton team was inY'65, Jerry Chamber's Utah club in 1966. The Bonnies' situation got so bad that they didn't even have hot water for their showers after the game, and the plumber had to be called to their locker room. It probably wouldn't have made any difference though, because the Bonnie players couldn't have felt anything after their emotional letdown. A courageous team and coach will always win over a crowd and there is n~o doubt that St. Bonaventure did so tonight. When the Bonnies clash with New Mexico State in Saturday's con- solation game the Aggies will find themselves in the same posi- tion that Jacksonville was tonight. The fans will all want a St. Bonaventure win. Coach Moise and his, team will try to oblige. One can only speculate upon what would have happened if Lanier had been able to play. He is such a great individual and has such a fine supporting cast that St. Bonaventure might have derailed UCLA. Even if. they hadn't matches between Lanier and Gilmore or Lanier and Sidney Wicks would have been classic. But it was not in the cards for Lanier to be here, but he still made his presence felt in the play of his teammates and the reactions of the crowd. The. 1970 St. Bonaventure team will be remembered long after some champions have faded into the oblivion of the scrap- books of Alumni and morgues of newspapers. xdaily sports NIGHT EDITOR: ELLIOT LEGOW after a ragged start and tied the score at 24-24. The Bonnies, who had four players foul out, trailed 42-34 at halftime and fell behind by 12 points after the intermission be- fore they rallied behind Bill Kal- baugh and Mike Kull. St. Bonaventure, ranked third in the nation, lost only its second game in 27 starts, snapping a 13- game win streak. It was Jackson- ville's 14th straight victory. The Bonnies did not attempt to play ball control against the na- tion's tallest team but instead, came out battling for control of the boards. Pembrook Burrows, Jackson- ville's seven-foot forward, had only four rebounds at halftime and sat out much of the second period in foul difficulty. John Vallely scored 23, Sidney Wicks 22 and Henry Bibby 19 for second-ranked UCLA, which led 68-49 with 14 minutes left only to have the Aggies pull to within 78-69 behind the deadly jump shooting of Jimmy Collins. Collins scored 28 for the fifth- ranked Aggies, who lost to the Bruins the past two, years in the Western regionals. Tomorrow afternoon's finals will provide a contrast between the strict' discipline of UCLA's veteran coach John Wooden and the easy style of young Joe Williams of Jacksonville which beat top-rank- ed Kentucky in the Midwest re- gionals. It will also provide an ironic twist for Wooden who during the past three seasons of national titles had big Lew Alcindor to worry the opposition. Now he will have to defend against two Jack- sonville seven-footers. .New Mexico State trailed only 48-41 at halftime, but UCLA jumped in front 55-43 after 1% Marquette rips LSU By The Associated Press NEW YORK - The Marquette Warriors, clamping another frus-1 trating night on Pete Maravich, beat Louisiana State at its own high-scoring game 101-79 last night and advanced to the final of the National Invitation Basket- ball Tournament. The Warriors, the tourney favo- rite, will go for their first NIT title against St. John's, N.Y. Marquette, ranked No. 8 in the country, used its tenth-best de- fense in the nation to hold Pistol Pete to 20 points while Joe Thomas sent the Warriors winging with 28 points in a surprisingly easy triumph. Maravich, hounded often by as many as three men and showing only rare flashes of the brilliance that made him a three-time All- American, had only 13 points as LSU fell behind 49-42 at the half. Only his four points late in the game kept him from the lowest scoring total in his career as major college basketball's all-time high scorer. St. John's Edges Army NEW YORK - Rich Lyons, a sophomore guard, sank two free throws with one second remaining and lifted St. John's, N.Y., to a 60-59 victory over Army last night in a bruising 'National Invitation Basketball Tournament semifinal battle between two of the nation's defensive teams. Lyons, whose only basket of the second half had put St. John's ahead 58-56 with 2:51 remaining, missed a field goal try after an out of bounds play with four seconds left. But he was fouled on the play by Jim Oxley; who had given the Cadets a 59-58 edge with a basket for the last of his 18 points with 1:32 remaining of the final hectic minutes. After Oxley's basket, Army stole the ball, but Mike Gyoval, who also had 18 points, missed a free throw with 45 seconds to go , giv- ,ing St. John's its final chance.

Special To The Daily NORMAL, Ill. - In spite of financial difficulties which only allowed the Michigan's womens swim team to send seven perform- ers to the first national meet ever held for women, coach Sandi Hit- telman's talented tankers stand in fourth place after completion of the first day's competition. The Mermaids trail Arizona St., West- chester, Pa., and Colorado St. while Michigan State's womens swim team ranks fifth. Bright spot of the day was the Mermaid's third place finish in the 200-yard medley relay. An entry of Jan Pfleegan, Johanna Cooke, Barb Patterson, and Mary Bennett turned in a respectable time of 1:59.3, only seconds be- hind the winners. Prior to this meet, the team had a, best time this season of only 2:08 flat in the relay.
